Boracay: Is it still a Paradise?

By Lana

Boracay is an island paradise with postcard-perfect white sand beaches and crystal-clear blue waters. It’s obvious why 200,000 Aussies flock to its shores every year (and we Aussies really do know a good beach when we see one). While this tropical hideaway has long been known to Filipino holidaymakers, global tourism really began to explode after the Jolie-Pitts visited in 2009 (still can’t believe they broke upI 🙁  ) . Boracay quickly found itself on

Take me back to Uluwatu

By Lana

I’m not normally one to continue to holiday to the same destination but Bali just keeps me coming back.

The one thing that I try and do every day for my body, no matter where I am in the world, is to start my
