Muthi Maya Forest Pool Villa

I love going to Khao Yai. Generally, when people come to Thailand, they head straight to the beach. But as far as I’m concerned, Thailand’s jungle destinations are equally as epic.

Holiday in the City

I said it once in Day and Night, and I’ll say it again: Bangkok is exhausting. The fact that it’s as hot as Mars doesn’t help much either. Regardless, weekend getaways are the thing that keeps me going. However, sometimes even a getaway can be tiring. For some reason, even a trip to the airport in this city can feel like a mission. I would go into detail about how many obstacles may arise between me and Suvarnabumi (airport), but I guess I can just leave that to your imagination. In Bangkok, we are used to the abnormal; last week I was walking to buy milk and saw a fully dressed monkey walking down the side walk as if it were a human. No owner in sight. It was an astounding moment; not because of the monkey, but because there was actually room to walk on the sidewalk. Life.

Second Star to the Right

If you’re looking for somewhere you can rock your Star Trek costume and not look out of place, look no further than the new Central Embassy. The place is unsurmountably spaceship-ey. Literally. Stepping off the skywalk from Central Chitlom and stepping into Central Embassy is like stepping onto the Enterprise from the mini ship that took you there. Yes, I do know the name of all the Starfleet starship vessels.

Calming Kimono

To begin, I would like to say that I don’t normally make a point of applying lipgloss while at the pool. In the case of these photos, I was merely looking for a way to occupy myself and thus appear a little less awkward. Mission failed. Oh well, it was worth a try.

Taste of Thailand

When I’m not obsessing over what I’m going to wear, I’m either complaining about school or shoving my face full of food. I know you’re all aware of my interest in fashion and no one wants to hear me complain about school. Therefore, I have decided to talk about my other interest. Food. Lots and lots of food.

When I wake up in the morning, the first thought that pops into my head usually involves what I’m going to eat. Typically, getting up is much easier when I have something good for breakfast. That also works if I have something new to wear. Long story short, I live for clothes and food.

Staying Strong In Hong Kong

I recently went to Hong Kong and literally spent the entire time shopping. I was walking around like a fat kid in a candy shop. My unhealthy, yet oh-so-exhilarating love for clothing had finally found the perfect environment to flourish – Hong Kong. Danger.

Prior to arrival, I had been told countless times by friends that shopping in Hong Kong is incomparable to anywhere else. Also, that there is not tax. However, nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. Oh, and I only went to one shopping district.

Hua Hin Hills Vineyard

I really like wine. If it were up to me, people would be able to survive off the stuff. Why didn’t they give me the power? If I had a choice, all my afternoons would be spent drinking a glass of wine and surrounded by good friends. Maybe I should make a wine blog! It’s genius. However, that would probably mean increasing my health insurance substantially, not to mention Thailand has a total of maybe 5 vineyards. Details, ugh.

Either way, I recently had the pleasure of spending a day at Hua Hin Hills Vineyard (and yes I did say pleasure, anything with wine is pleasure).

’Cause it’s hot as hell

The further we get into March, the closer we get to April and that means it’s hot season. I don’t know about you, but I grew up in the arctic (Canada) which means my biology isn’t conducive to this sun blasting. If you are like me, a cold weather creature, instead of resorting to alcohol abuse or running back to your motherland, how about trying this hot weather survival guide.

The Beginning

There’s something truly magical about growing up. Cue my mom rolling her eyes given that I’m only 22. But it’s true, the older you get the closer you become to being comfortable with yourself.

I’ve been a lot of different people in my short life: athlete, intellect, bar star, drag queen (wannabe), mean girl, businesswoman (wannabe) — you name it, I’ve been it. However, the more times I change the closer I get to being me.
