THE PRINCESS ISSUE
Welcome to the August Guide to Life! It has been a busy month for all of us. My grandmother turned 100 years old which is very exciting. Imagine being born in 1910! She still lives at home alone and is very chirpy and happy - such an inspiration. I have been asking for all her health tips to share with you.

Sleep Naked
As Marilyn Monroe famously said “What do I wear in bed? Why Chanel No. 5 of course” she shocked the world. 57% of people in HK reveal they sleep naked, despite regular sightings of their nude neighbors in tightly packed HK. The only explanation is the populality of the bedding from Sleep Naked - soft, smooth and crisp - luxury hotel style. PJ’s don’t stand a chance. Marilyn would approve.
