The streets of Japan

I have been lucky enough to travel to Japan this year, and what an exciting place. The traditions, the culture, the food and the people. As one who has a love of art, I have a great appreciation for their traditional dress. It is very detailed and can be made from the most exquisite fabrics.
Above in these photos, I had a wander through a town near Kagoshima before enjoying an authentic Japanese meal.

Swimming in Vanuatu

A day in Vanuatu

The sun was out but quickly as the clouds came rolling through our plans for snorkelling at a small island off Vila to an underwater post office was washed away. Yes, an underwater post office... Although we couldn't get there due to the weather, this gave me the chance to take some photos on the foreshore of Vila near local markets. An hour later the clouds had disappeared and we had just enough time for a quick dip in my Freya black and white stripe bikini and Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses.

Trisara - Wellness Program

The first detox I have done and what a lovely place to call home for the wellness program. Situated 15mins from Phuket airport in Thailand, just minutes from getting off the plane I was experiencing the luxury of Trisara. Intimate and exclusive, every villa has ocean views and a private pool, perfect for relaxing between spa treatments.

My eating program was a menu specially developed for the cleanse program. With choices made prior to arrival, my lunch and dinner consisted of soups, salad and juice. My top picks chilled carrot and ginger soup, Zucchini avocado and passionfruit tartare, and watermelon juice. Breakfast was enjoyed daily at the Trisara restaurant and a buffet full of fresh fruit and juices was a great way to start the day.

 

My spa program had treatments daily including a Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Maya Abdominal Massage, Sodashi Detox Body Wrap, Indian Head Massage and Foot Reflexology. And prior to some treatments I used the steam room facilities in the spa.

 

After the first day I was feeling relaxed and content. As a newcomer to the detox world I was a little unsure what I was getting myself into and fondly enough the food portions were healthy, tasty and satisfying. I did experienced headaches, which is a normal occurrence when undergoing a detox.

Going into this wellness program, I was hoping to feel healthier… I not only went home feeling healthier, I went home with a new mindset wanting to continue a healthier lifestyle - Incorporating more vegetables into my diet, drinking tea to assist with digestion and adding good oils such as coconut oil to my meals.

 

 

 

 

The 3 day wellness package I enjoyed was a cleanse and there are a few other Trisara options too.

 

Blue Lagoon

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
During my time in Vanuatu, I visited Blue Lagoon and I was holding beauty in my hand. It was a secluded paradise of bright blue water, lush green jungle and the day I was there, great weather.

Singapore Orchids

Yes, I've been in Singapore for the Audi Fashion Festival. It's the first time I have visited this wonderful city and I'm sure it wont be the last. When I'm in these great places for different events I try to see more of it then just the fashion shows and my hotel. Luckily, I had the chance to wander the Singapore Botanical Gardens.
