    Healthy living in Vancouver, Marijuana and Beauty with Mary Zilba

    This summer, I travelled out west to beautiful British Columbia. During this trip, I met some interesting people, learned the lifestyle, and got to do some preceptorship work with some of the best naturopathic doctors in the country. While I was in the vibrant city of Vancouver, I fell in love with the healthy and laid-back lifestyle! Vancouver is filled with luscious nature, gorgeous views and the people are just be as fantastic! I am so excited to have had the chance to interview one of the coolest ladies in Van City… The Real Housewives of Vancouver star and Canadian Popstar, Mary Zilba! . . . .  JAMIE: You haven’t always lived…

    Best of Bali: Kamandalu Resort, Ubud

    Our next stop in Bali was the lovely and luscious Ubud! This northern city and the resort we stayed at is HIGHLY recommended if you ever visit Indonesia. We booked two nights at the Kamandalu Resort & Spa. Our stay was absolutely magical and I wish that we had spent just one more night at this gorgeous hotel. SERVICE Kamandalu’s driver picked us up in Seminyak. He was very kind and wasn’t shy to tell us the history of Bali answering all our “What’s that?” questions during the drive. He didnt mind if we wanted to stop at one of the art or silver shops on the way and even encouraged…

    Best of Thailand: Bayview Phi Phi Resort

    During our stay in Thailand, we stayed at the Bayview Phi Phi resort. I don’t have words for how amazing this hotel was! I felt so happy the minute we got there. The staff welcomed us so nicely and was very accommodating. Just being at this resort made me feel like I was in a dream mainly because the beach is so incredible. The atmosphere in the resort is very laid back and there is not one spot that you don’t have the most breath-taking views! We looked around at other hotels on the island and nothing really compared. Even just for one night, you need to check this place…

    Best Of Bali: Astagina Resort Villa & Spa

    We arrived in Bali, Indonesia late at night after flying in from Thailand. We were so happy with our first resort, “Astagina Resort Villa & Spa” where we stayed in the 2-bedroom pool villa.
