Some thoughts on masculine/feminine energy + travel pics from Prague

May 12, 2019December 9, 2015

I’ve been hanging out in my masculine for too long. That’s the realisation I came to when traveling through Europe last week. All the telltale signs of being in the thick of it were there: short, shallow breaths, tension in my chest, in my throat, in my abdomen. Being ‘in the head’ and in my thoughts to the point where my intuition sadly took the backseat. I’ve been tossing around the idea of delving more into this “masculine/feminine energy” topic for a while now but have held back, in part because the scope is so huge. This is also a bit …

Exploring Bali

May 12, 2019September 23, 2015

What a long few weeks it’s been! I’ve recently returned from traveling in Bali and have taken a bit of a mini breather before coming back to the blog, to recoup, recharge and get settled back into my routines. And I’m excited to finally share some of my travel pics and experiences with you here! Scroll on, as I will be lacing tons of Bali photos throughout today’s post. Bali for me was one part captivating, two parts mind-boggling. Mostly due to all the surprising amounts of chaos. Coming from NYC, you’d think I would have seen and experienced it all. …

Bali-bound + my wellness packing list

May 12, 2019August 26, 2015

I’m Bali and Singapore-bound for my most epic trip of the year! Clear across to the other side of the world for me, Bali has been a tropical dream spot for such a long time and I’m so excited to finally make it happen! I’ve been prepping for Southeast Asia travel for weeks and have got packingpackingpacking on the mind. Amidst all the chaos, it occurred to me that I’ve learned a thing or two about traveling well and keeping myself healthy and energised on the road. For example, things that I have been consistently grateful for bringing along on trips: …

Notes from the Road: British Columbia + the Sunshine Coast

May 12, 2019July 29, 2015

British Columbia… where the trees have held and healed me, where the sunshine sent me daily hugs & kisses and the Pacific Ocean breezes lightened my spirit. I feel so connected to the land. Thank you lazy days spent soaking up fresh mountain air, sunlight, and so much green. Thank you bright blue, cheerful skies and cool ocean waters. Thank you endless trees, moss and lush vegetation. Thank you laid-back, Birkenstock-wearing, nature-centric folks who welcomed me into their lives. Thank you for days spent drifting through the forest like a fairy, stopping to savour or meditate or look up at the …

Reasons why I love NYC

May 12, 2019May 13, 2015

I’ve been away for a few weeks traveling and exploring New York City with a friend of mine. What a zany/exhausting/ eye-opening joyride of an adventure it’s been! As a New Yorker who’s lived here longer than anywhere else, I like to think I know the city well. Yet every time I venture into the thick of it, I’m still amazed at all there is to see and do and experience. All the different people from around the world who call this wild city their home, the melting pot of cultures, the stories, the dreams. I don’t always enjoy living in …

A birthday, my 2014 year in review + thoughts on living with intention

May 12, 2019January 22, 2015

Having a birthday that falls close after the new year is something that I get really excited about. I’m not sure whether it’s because I’m so forward-moving or perhaps because January has that “fresh start” feeling in the air, but my birthday always brings to mind the excitement and anticipation of a new start. This is the time when I get inspired to reflect and review the past year, celebrate how things went, what I want to do differently this time, how I want to spend my next year being a new, older (hopefully wiser!) self. In celebration of both my …
