Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending a truly inspiring workshop in Ubud—one that seamlessly blended artistry, sustainability, traditional science and spirituality

Is it a cooking show? A talk show? A reality show? Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has sparked plenty of conversation—whether you’re watching for the content or the controversy.

Indonesia’s culinary heritage is one of the richest in the world, yet for a long time, it has remained underrepresented in globally. We need more cookbooks!

Rumari at Raffles Bali has become one of my favorite dining destinations, and last night’s collaboration dinner between Chef Tam Chudaree Debhakam and Chef Gaetan Biesuz was yet another unforgettable experience.

Some invitations feel special the moment they arrive, and this was one of them. The Missoni Resort Club at The Ritz-Carlton, Bali launched their first ever beach club in South East Asia, attended by Giacomo Missoni, and it was a weekend of a seamless blend of fashion, design, and downtime in one of the most breathtaking locations on the island.

In the ever-evolving world of wellness, we are constantly reminded that love isn’t just something we give to others—it’s something we cultivate within ourselves. This Valentine’s Day, in the heart of Jakarta, I gathered at the new Sinilagi Café for a truly special experience: a heart-opening yoga session led by Ashle, a yoga teacher whose journey embodies the beauty of self-discovery.

It was a truly beautiful and inspiring event, reminding us that Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be limited to just one day—we can embrace love, especially self-love, every single day, for instance through journaling.

On New Year’s Eve, I found myself in a place where science, art, and nature intertwined in the most mesmerizing way—a private tour of Daan Roosegaarde’s studio in Pererenan.

My favorite time of the year is coming up: Christmas. I love the holidays – a nod to coziness, tradition, and a time filled with excitement, family, celebration, and delicious food. Arguably, these are the most important things in life. It’s also a time of giving and sharing, so I’m elated to share my must-haves and the things I love most this season.

The holiday season is here—a time for joy, gratitude, and giving back. This year, Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF) and the Literasi Anak Indonesia Foundation (YLAI) are teaming up to raise funds for a cause close to my heart: building 5 Child-Friendly Libraries in Gianyar, Bali.

As the holiday season rolls around, there’s something magical about embracing the little things that make this time of year so special. My friend Elizabeth Rahajeng shared her Holiday List with me, and it’s full of cozy movie recommendations, festive treats, and heartwarming traditions. If you’re looking for ways to make this season extra special, here’s some inspiration!

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the Shelf Therapy Book Club—a space where books, ideas, and meaningful conversations come together! This new journey is close to my heart, and I’m so excited to share it with you all. "Shelf Therapy is more than a book club, it’s a liberation movement."

You don’t have to be a book worm or a literary genius to attend the most intimate yet diverse literary program that celebrates culture, creative expression and humanity above all else. This year it is held from the 23rd up until the 27th of October, with events spread out across the town and the main festival venue in the heart of Ubud.

Indonesia is known to have one of the most fascinating marine life in the world. But with so many beach front developments, like beach clubs, malls, hotels, etc., happening in Bali right now, sea creatures are losing more and more of their natural habitat.

When you think of diamonds, you certainly don’t think of comfort. But Mondial, wants you to think otherwise. It wants its customers to feel at home whenever they step foot inside a Mondial store. Hence, to celebrate their 45th anniversary, they chose a perfectly fitting theme of ‘A Tale of The Blue House.’

Currently, almost every morning while I walk on the treadmill, I listen to ‘Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life’ audiobook by Francesc Miralles and Héctor Garcia. When I reached the part where they shared words of wisdom from the longest living people, I found it so interesting, important and somehow soothing that I started typing away on my notes.

I was really excited to receive a dinner invitation from Indonesia’s only Krug Ambassade, Rumari at the Raffles Bali led by Chef Gaetan Biesuz. An annual dinner where they pick a theme that highlights a single ingredients where this year happened to be one of my favourite.

In celebration of their first store opening in Bali, I was invited to the Alo Wellness Day. The event took place at the Imperial Villa at beautiful Four Seasons Resort in Bali with a stunning backdrop of the Jimbaran coast.
