Feel the Love in Bali’s Berry Amour Villa
Imagine waking up every morning in a beautiful private villa? A regular of hotels and even hostels in the past, for me the comfort and privacy of a luxury villa was a welcomed change. Before we headed to Bali, I have done extensive research on 4 and 5-star villas that would meet our location, price and amenities criteria. Once we came across Berry Amour romantic concept villas in Seminyak that ticked all of our boxes, we booked it immediately. After 11-day relaxing stay, I can say our villa was worth every penny. Let me take you on a virtual tour to judge it for yourself! First, after a long but rather…

Turkey Mince Stuffed Peppers
Ever since I was a child, my Mum used to make stuffed bell peppers and they were always so tasty. As I grew up they became a favorite in my own family. I always cook my stuffed peppers in soupy sauce, instead of baking them in the oven as one would often find in recipes. They come out delicious and succulent, saturated by the tomato sauce and meat juices. Rather than using beef mince, this time I made them with turkey mince and they came out beautiful. So, today I am sharing one of my favorite recipes that is super easy and quick to make, yet filling and healthy. INGREDIENTS 6 bell peppers…

Luxury Travel With Qatar Airways
As you already might have read in my previous blog posts, earlier this summer I went to Bali to celebrate my 40th birthday. I decided to do in style – from business class flights to a private villa in Bali! While I have already well documented my Bali shenanigans in other posts, I wanted to dedicate this one to trip logistics and share my impressions of business class travel on the Qatar Airways. Let me start with the fact that I am a huge fan of Qatar Airways, having flown them before on business trips to South Asia. They were even nice enough to upgrade me once to a business…

I love Comme des Garçons t-shirts with their quirky heart logo but I can hardly afford one at £100 a piece.

Let me show you how to achieve designer fashion at high street prices in 5 simple steps. For my project, I got an H&M t-shirt that is so cool but only costs £8.99 and embroidered…

Sketch Me If You Can
“Sketch!” I told my husband without any hesitation when he asked me where I wanted to go to celebrate my 40th birthday. You see, this restaurant has been on my ‘places to visit in London’ list for a while now because it’s really cool. So cool that Sketch has a large following, including celebrities, around the world and huge presence in social media (120K of Instagram followers!). Imagine feeling like Alice in Wonderland wandering through dark hallways, from room to room, each very different and slightly eccentric and disorienting. When I entered Sketch, I felt like I walked into a secret magical place tucked away from the peering eyes. The…
