“I’m singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin’ …”
Remember the scene where Gene Kelly dance and sing in the movie Singing in the Rain (1952) ? You might have wondered how glorious it is to dance in the rain when you get absolutely soaked and need to get on with your day? Ok, it IS actually quite fun to play in the rain, but realistically speaking there aren’t many chances we can do that. Danish brand RAINS, specializing in raincoats might be a solution for you to really do that (I’ve tested it trust me).

Here comes Summer, the season for sunshine and beach, junk trips and water sports. Now one of the biggest headache a lot of people (women in particular), is finding the right set (or sets) of bikini. I am a strong believer in picking the right fit would work magic. Rather than having a “perfect” body shape, finding what actually compliments and work with your body shape is more important. Growing up as a professional swimmer, I have very precise requirement when I purchase swimwear. For me, most bikinis in the market are more made for sunbathing on the shore, or walking around the poolside rather than really being in the water ...
