I had just come back from an exhausting holiday in the Cook Islands in October last year, and as usual, was looking at my next holiday destination on the plane ride home. By chance, I stumbled upon an incredible package to the Maldives for a bargain price at the renowned Shangri La. But there are far and few between who are as reckless,
Grace Mykonos
I have been dreaming of visiting Greece for as long as I can remember. Social media feeds cyclically fill on an annual basis with the hues of Aegean blues come the Australian winter months. I was thrilled when it was finally my turn to indulge in the Grecian lifestyle for myself. Winding out of the main town, the distinct blue of the Aegean
Do it
Do it Get on the plane, get the train, walk 300 miles. Get to her front door and tell her 'I know this is crazy, but I need you, now.' Our lives are too short to always be sensible. In collaboration with Maniere De Voir Photographed by Sakura Rimal Editing by Prasanthi Purusothaman
Plitvice
I've never really been huge on the outdoors. Like most kids from ethnic upbringings, camping and outdoor activities were largely sparse, replaced by an array of extra curricular activities outside of school hours, and of course tutoring. Perhaps this deprivation of sorts has led to an innate desire to seek out beautiful places, and the older I get
Chimamanda
I can definitely, in retrospect, relate fully to feeling (as a young girl) that traditionally 'female' interests, fashion, makeup, were things to be ashamed of. In fact, it was often actively re-enforced to me by others as something that was superficial, vapid and lesser in value. And yet I remained puzzled by our double standard society that
The right thing at the wrong time
Timing is something we all try to control and invariably fail to. This extends all too fluidly into the realm of relationships. So many of us are guilty of glorifying past encounters with mismatched love interests with the all too familiar statement of 'it was just the right thing at the wrong time'. We use time as an excuse for the absence of
Nomade Tulum
The further you digress down the highway away from infamous Cancun, the more removed you are from the stock standard imposed party atmos of third world countries. Tulum, is lined by a number of boutique and high end resorts and hotels each with their own slice of the best of the Riviera Maya coastline. For me, booking into Nomade Tulum was an

Orange is the new black
I picked up this dress from Pretty Little Thing after Kylie Jenner sported it at an event late last year. For the price point, the dress is a good buy. And whilst I can't definitively concur that orange is the new black, let alone a regular feature of my wardrobe, the tangerine hue is particularly complimentary to dark skin tones, making the skin
Establishing a self care routine
Now more than ever, individually, and for society as a whole, self care has become increasingly important an act. I, like millions of others around the world, suffer from anxiety. For a long time I never wanted to admit to it, largely due to the taboo around any discussion of mental health as some sort of weakness that was different to any other
