Seminyak is where the party’s at in Bali! The trendiest shops, the hippest bars, and the coolest restaurants are all found in Seminyak, which is why Mike and I have decided to spend the last leg of our honeymoon in this lively town. Of course, because it’s so commercialized and popular, that also means that accommodations here are …
Those who know that Mike and I had our honeymoon in Bali often ask us this question: “How’s the food in Bali?” Short answer: “Really good!” Long answer: “Yummy, interesting, zesty, and usually spicy or comes with spicy sauce!” Bali’s famous crispy duck is no exception to that. Aside from the well-known Indonesian staples like …
I can’t even begin to write about how blown away we were with the Uluwatu Temple in Bali. There were just too many things that left us in awe of this sea temple.

My goal for this blog post was to finish writing it in 10 minutes. Why? Because that is exactly how much time we spent at Dreamland Beach. After checking out of our villa in Jimbaran, Mike and I got ready for some fun under the sun. Our plan for our 6th day in Bali was to explore …
Look up “The Rock Bar Bali” online and you’ll get all these search results that say “It’s the coolest bar in Bali! or “A trip to Bali is not complete without a trip to the Rock Bar!” True enough, when I announced on Facebook that Mike and I have chosen Bali as our honeymoon destination, one of …
It wasn’t easy looking for a classy but affordable hotel in the Jimbaran area of Bali. Accommodations here are mostly international chains, five-star resorts, and luxurious villas. What do you expect from a place known as “the Beverly Hills of Bali”? And then I stumbled upon The Astari Villa & Residences, and it was LOVE. Staying true …
Transforming brows since 1976, Benefit Cosmetics sure knows brows! A few weeks ago, they threw a magical private party to unveil their newest Benefit Brow collection. My sister Alexa and I were lucky enough to be invited to this sort-of secret party which was held at Revel at the Palace. We’re both big on Benefit (we …
A few weeks before our honeymoon trip to Bali, I was on the phone with my friend Punky, who was sharing some travel tips to this Bali newbie. “DO NOT GO TO JIMBARAN BAY!!!” she yelled from the other end of the line. Or at least I think she yelled. It’s hard to tell, really, …
