Eat, prey, loving life. The Bali trip rundown!

Wherever you go in the world “there’s no place like home” but when you come to Bali this place feels like home. Unfortunately, you can’t uplift your friends and family over there but at least I came home and got everyone putting Bali on their bucket list. Everyone should make the trip because it’s a 1000% worth it! I can’t recommend the “billabong, surfer” vibe haven enough!

I’ll do the quickest and simplest run down, I’ve already taken up your time and you just want to know the bullet points.

So here it goes ……

• The Seminyak sunset beach, picture perfect, peaceful and sure as Hell “moby – porcelain” vibes yanno like “the beach” film! The bean bags are dotted all across this clean scenic beach front and the waves are so breathtaking. They sure as hell will bring you back to life after zenning out in the bean bags, when you hear the crashing waves, they are a loud reminder that yes, this place is real!

Beach clubs

1. Jungle fish in ubud

2. potato head in Seminyak/kuta

3. azul Seminyak square

4. Omnia beach club ubud

The food in all these places was outstanding!!! Most places in Bali serve vegan food which tasted amazing and not like the vegan food back home. The views were heaven and the entire layout was so chilled with a really good twist of music to get you perked up.

GILI ISLAND

The water is piercing blue with gorgeous tropical fish, colours surrounding you all the time and a graceful turtle swimming by. This place is a must but the island itself is not as “remote” as you would think, shops are granted of course but seemed so hectic and lots of tourist traffic. I was expecting a lot more rural/ forestry?

Waterfalls

Tengenugan waterfall ubud

Near Kanto lampo ubud

Kanto lampo ubud

Mason elephant sanctuary ubud

We did not ride these majestic creatures because we 100% don’t believe in it. We fed and bathed these beauties and they seemed to enjoy it!

The kynd community! seminyak

This place I am still obsessing over, I’ve never ever tried vegan food quite like this place. I had the kind Big Mac which was out of this world and still don’t shut up about it. Big up Kendall for finding this gem.

The monkey temple ubud

The baby monkeys were adorable…..but the big boys ohhhh no! Slightly terrified, there’s a lot going on in this place but you should definitely make the trip because the guides are there to protect you and belongings, and the babies are just something you don’t want to miss!

Bali swing ubud

When I look back I can’t actually believe we managed to experience all these things. We’ve learnt and experience so much together I am so glad to have spent this time with them and look forward to future with these amazing galys!

The destination of our dreams

So Thailand is officially over and what a trip it has been. Phuket, chaing mai, Bangkok, khao lak, the jungle!

Everything has been such an experience.

If you want to know where, how much and how to plan this holiday go to the bottom of this post!

To follow the kardashians pit fall and peak tradition:

It be hard to say a pit fall but the one that stands out to me was the food poisoning. I was lucky to only have for a couple of days thanks to the amazing doctors and staff out there in phuket. I assumed I would receive barely any help as you’re under this idea of “Thailand = 3rd world” but the people in phuket were just amazingly helpful and so considerate. Their English was perfect too!!! Always praying as we walked past, always blessing us.

The peak of our trip was everything. Even with the illness, the people for one and Ben was beyond. I am such a lucky person to have him as my other half. Let’s just say that.

Phuket

Out first trip was to phang nga bay were incredible. The rock formations from millions of years ago made you trip. Great geography lessons by the way. I loved canoeing through the caves and battling my fear of small spaces. I mean my eyes were closed but still done it and Ben said the rock face was 3 inches away from my head and we had to lay down to get to the lagoon which didn’t take long. We searched other lagoons and spotted rock formations that had faces and looked like cartoon characters! And a tour guide gave me a rose shaped from a leaf!

The way people lived on the floating village, insane. If the kids played football and the ball went out of the floating patch of plastic then they’d jump right in to get it!

I loved the beaches I mean look at the water and the crazy weather background.

Our hotel was surrounded by thick forestry and we often had little friends come into what seemed like a rainforest bathroom. Two frogs just outside the bathroom by the water feature called biggie and smalls. Yes we were sad to name them. And then a friendly lizard that stayed on the walls until one night he reached into Ben’s shorts.

Chaing mai was most definitely my favourite city!!! We got there in the night and we made it to the Sunday market which was very lucky because the city is best known for the Sunday market, a fast crowded place full of unique and cliche items at great prices. Gorgeous bags I could have taken so many home but you know… suitcase allowance. The temple of doi suthep held so much stories and you really felt part of the story with the tour guide we had who was an angel!

One of the tapestries told the story of the relic found after a monk dreamt of the relic of the Buddha. Temples were destroyed after a war and believed all relics were destroyed but one remained somewhere in Chang mai and the people of Chang mai found it after his dream and gave to the king and he kept for 13 years and one day he touched it and it broke in two and he kept the one peice that was small and he prayed for miracles and sent the biggest peice on top of a white elephant and the elephant roamed until it found a destination and the elephant circled the top of a mountain 3 times before dying and was said to be a spiritual meaning so they burried the relic and made a golden dome on top and that’s why they have the temple of doi suthep.

The children on the steps sit all day in traditional thai clothes and wait for people to give money and take pics with the tourists for snacks whilst their parents worked all day. You just would never find that in the UK.

Ben bought me a jade stone which is very expensive and is Thailand’s most precious stone as it is originated there.

We had the best hotel too surround by 100 different types of trees! And loads of cocarp in the ponds.

Bangkok was another world all together, before landing and looking out to the city there was a must of city fog hovering over it and you knew you were in for a treat. A great of hot smog, pollution, lady boys and just stand still traffic. I have to say a did my fair share of moaning. I’m Jessica Morley and I don’t like the bloody hot fumes and shit tour guides. Yes Bangkok grand temple was hit or miss with me. Beautiful beautiful creations, a mass of sparkling jewls, but unfoutnely not much of a back story but just something pretty to look at and once I’d seen I wanted out. Very crowded and the tour guide was like yep so this is that and this is this you got 30 mins to look around. I guess it’s not his fault if there’s not really anything to say other than the king has a lot of connections to the area. The tall pointy triangle things are tomb stones of all the generations of royal so that was wack!

But when we hit the night life of Bangkok that was much better!!! We headed to one of the most favourites roof top bars and had some unusual food. Very high which made my legs shake the whole time and the bathroom experience for Ben was extraordinary. Peeing infront of a huge window looking across the city, I hope no one had binoculars in the other building’s…

We headed back to the south, so by this point we hit the north and middle of Thailand and we were heading south again but to khao lak.

Khao lak moracea hotel was breathtaking. Right on the beach front and stunning beach views. Ben spent ages in the sea smashing into the waves whilst I was quick to get out once I lost my fave sunglasses to the tretourous waves. They were choppy the entire time we were away so who ever said Thailand seas are calm… they are not in August! But nonetheless more fun for us! Wish I had my body board.

We went to the jungle just before we settled in our beachview room. The jungle was loud and scary a hub of activity and so remote it felt wildly refreshing to be away from the 1st world sounds and really concentrate on breathing and just looking out at the lake, trees and monkeys instead of Instagram on a sunbed. (Guilty pleasure)

I have to say I didn’t use my phone as much on this part of the trip expect to take the generic picture of the setting and back setting of where we stayed. We enjoyed our activities phone free and some things are best kept for memories and inside your head. I think you can’t put a price on that Because if your busy taking photos your never really in the moment.

The water was incredibly warm and felt so good to just relax and be with nature. At night nature bit us a lot!!!!! Damn midgies but hey, it didn’t matter as much when we were canoeing through the lakes and seeing all the wildlife surround us. Ben did most of the work bless him whilst I just took it all in but hey I only got little arms. It really felt like something of a blue lagoon movie but with actual tents and kitchen food available.

We went hiking one day which was definitely scary! Leeches on us and slippery slopes. Scared to touch the wrong tree in case it kills you or makes you itch. I like that kind of rush but I’m not doing for things sucking my blood. The ranger married me though, haha!he made me a ring out of just a peice of straw!

The elephants were heaven. A dream comtrue, the reason why we booked the trip in the first place. You gear how the elephants are such social animals and that you can guess their emotions by their eyes and I really felt what they felt and how happy they were the elephants were all females as they run in families where as the lakes tend to drift. Pfft usual. And these ladies really loved eachother they stood by eachither side and were constantly huddled and making noises. When I hugged the trunk of an elephant it made this tiger like noise and the woman said it’s because she was happy with her activity. We washed her and fed her and she was in her element as well as we were. When the rain hit it was like a toy coming down on them from the sky. The eardrums took a beating because wow they were loud and just full of life. So amazing to see and a true blessing.

How much, how to book and who with :

So if you have come down to the very bottom, this is the run down.

Basically how we done it was we went to Thomson and they have a sister branch with hayes and Jarvis. And they speacilise in these types of holidays rather than Thomson so even though we went through to Thomson hayes and Jarvis were the ones to hook us up with all 4 star hotels, all the flights there and back and internal and all with private transportation to and from airports and trip advisors that visited you at hotel to let you know about pick up times and or places to go for trips which was bet helpful.

I would suggest booking with hayes and Jarvis. And this entire holiday cost three and half thousand each. For two weeks and a day.

This included breakfast and everything else was self catering. You could find cheaper online and do your self but the struggle is real and you wouldn’t have an easier time of getting on and off to places like we did. No stress and just pure fun! So the money was well worth it. Save save save save!!!!

This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging and they do it with so much love and passion.”

• Answer the questions from the person who nominated you
• Ask your nominees 5 questions of your choice with one weird or funny one
• Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog

3 Things about me:

1. I have to drink two cups, one morning one night time, of apple cider vinegar every day until Friday. This helps my metabolism and loose weight fast!
2. I have to, have to, HAVE TO have three meals a day, brunch throws me off and I just need that structure in my diet. I just feel like crap if I don’t have my set meals. God I sound like a granny.
3. I love having goals, I just love achieving! I just have to get what I want and being a perfectionist can be draining but I would never change that part of myself, its all of me really.

Questions for me:

1. What is your goal for 2018?
   – My goal is to just be happy and always put that first, always have ambitions which I won’t have problems with. I’m always finding a challenge! always trust my instincts (that are more often or not always correct) and do what I know my nan would want me to do. I am on a certain path right now to become semi successful in blogging. I love it so much and just really want to build on it more, its a fantastic place for creative thought.
2. If you could have coffee with one book character, who would it be?
   – this may seem very uneducated but hey a movie that is also in book form is good too! So definitely Bridget Jones because she is the double of me and I attract that sort of energy. My two best friends are 100% Bridget Joneses! ALSO, I would love a coffee (but perhaps she would drink something more expensive and lively like champagne) but Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby, a classic. Every word she speaks is delicious and dramatic.
3. Where are you planning to travel to next?
   – Well me and my partner are thinking of going to Italy or Greece, and recently a hotel in France contacted me on Instagram and it is a Vineyard between Pisa and Florence so that seems amazing. Plus I am thinking of going to Paris with my best friend that same year, a lot is potentially on the cards for next year so I am excited.
4. What is your favourite thing about yourself?
   – I am self assured and know what I want and whats good for me. I love that.
5. What would be one piece of advice you would want to give your younger self?
   – Oh gosh there is so much, well perhaps I would give little Jess a hug and tell her how successful and amazing she is gunna be when she grows up (yes vain) but who cares what others think of me, I have worked so hard to get to where I am and little me used to be so unconfident!!!! I never believed I would amount to anything and so did a lot of people, I would dream of having the perfect man in early teens and it came true, [little Jess screams inside]. It’s not always about boys when your a teen, but now to have someone love you and need you the way you both do is a feeling that can’t be put into words, but I guess ‘He’s my family’ is a great start.
   I went through a tough time when I was in my early teens so I would just sit little Jess down and say ‘don’t sweat the small stuff, your wasting your time’ overthinking and hormones… not good …but yeah I was a worried child then, but other than that little glitch – VERY HAPPY, go lucky AND BUBBLY CHILD around friends and family.

Sunshine Blog Award

The fact my blog/ content has made some sort of impact is an incredible feeling. Thank you ~Curiosity~ We have only just come across each other’s blog’s in a short amount of time, and for you to have nominated me, despite the amount of blogs you read on the daily is so kind! A real confidence boost! For sure, this blogger does share quality content, I always find their posts relatable, from light to real life stories and some colourful and calming quotes, its totally my kind of zen zone, where I often go over too and you should get following also!

An award given by a blogger to a fellow blogger that is considered to share positive and creative content. Most importantly, it helps bring bloggers together and shine a light on the ones who work so hard to give their readers/ audience what they like to see. So, again Thank you ~Curiosity~

So here are the Rules:

• Thank the blogger who nominated you in a blog post and link back to their blog.
• Answer the 11 questions the blogger asked you.
• Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and write them 11 new questions.
• List the rules and display the sunshine blogger award logo in your post/or on your blog.

Here are my 11 questions asked of me by ~Curiosity~ :

1. What do you like most about you?

I have to be honest, I could go on about my appearance because I think its always important to love the way you were born but what I’ve noticed over the years is inner beauty. Happiness is beautiful and I love how happy and content I am in myself, my friend told me the other day “I am a pretty self assured person” and really, I think that’s a great compliment.

2. What is the one country/state/city you want to visit this year?

Well the one place I do want to go is Thailand and I get to go this summer in fact with my partner. I still can’t grasp that I am ticking this off my bucket list. We all have a bucket list and to be fair it takes a while for us to tick off some of the list but I have to say I am doing pretty well because last year was Rome… check!

3. What is the one book you recommend everyone read?

Well I used to read adventure books, but I changed my love of adventure books to more profound adventures such as buddhism. I am always down for a good humanism book, that focuses on the rational outlooks we should all obtain because life can get crazy man.

4. What is your favorite Disney Movie? and Why?

I am not a huge fan of Disney, if I had to pick, perhaps it would be Snow White in 1938. The grainy animation and colour fascinates me of that time fascinates me, her blocked coloured puffy sleeve dress makes me chuckle? The vulnerable elegant voice is warming and hey, those 7 dudes are funny!

5. What is your favorite Marvel Movie? and Why?

It is now Black Panther, the story was as predictable as any other Marvel but the way in which they gave the actresses a very strong and empowering roles was a breathe of fresh air. I am so sick of seeing lady hero’s in tight skimpy outfits. Wonder Woman was a no go from me. This is a jump from Snow White but I appreciate all types of women. DO NOT SEXUALISE WOMEN WHEN SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A STRONG HEROINE… HER BODY SHOULD NOT BE USED TO SELL FILMS. It’s 2019. I’m cool…

6. What would you do for free?

Money I definitely the source of all evil. It’s great having it if you earned it but sometimes money is not the source of all happiness, I would always help out people less fortunate for free because thats the biggest gift you can give and to yourself. To be a good person is to show compassion for others.

7. What three words would your best friend use to describe you?

‘bitch’ but not in a nasty way as in like ‘biiiiiiitch…’ like slaaayy girl. HAHA! We always say this. ‘funny’ always cracking others up with my words, cruel/ dry (tough love) or light. ‘crazy’ I tend to go on a mad one every once in… well all the time. I have a lot of energy!

8. Where would you rather be right now?

In Thailand! Italy! Greece! Bora Bora…

9. What is your favorite drink?

Alcoholic would be Pina Colada. Then ordinary would be squash or coffee with soya milk!

10. What is your favorite country/state/city that you visited and why?

I have been to so many wonderful places, I truly have been blessed. It be hard to choose from, NYC, Florida, Miami, Barcelona, Rome, Italy skiing, and then the regular Spain holiday’s to Salou. (And so much moooore) I can’t choose I mean look at all those amazing trips I listed. I have to say though the trips have been were made extra special because of the people I experienced them with. Got to love family.

What inspired you to start a blog?

Well, I always wanted one. I saw some girl in uni had one and I wanted one. Just for the fun of it, I thought fashion and beauty would be an easy one – I alway liked fashion anyways but never took as seriously as I do now. Turns out it’s one of the hardest things to blog about, trying to come up with more fun innovative content that keeps my readers interested and finding new products/ brands to try out in order to explore and learn more beyond my horizons in the fashion world. My fashion sense has really matured and fashion is not just the clothes you wear, your making statements beyond the wardrobe. I have since come across amazing experience in fashion journalism and love how this area of the internet REALLY keeps me on my toes.

(So sorry for the long winded answers, I talk too much)

Here are my questions to the ones I nominated:

1. How and why did you become a blogger?
2. What is the most important and favourite thing about being a blogger?
3. What do you care about the most?
4. Where do you see yourself in the next few years? Do you have any goals?
5. Where do you want to be right now on this earth? Name a place?
6. Say 3x things you love about yourself

May you all be safe, happy and healthy! (the three keys in life)

Love Jess xox

My new lifestyle

It’s been a long journey and the longest I have ever gone on a health plan, I am the best I have ever felt.

I started at the beginning of the year during a time where it was so hectic but I thought if I don’t do this now I never will. Over the course of time from then and now I have lost nearly a stone!

I first weighed in at 9 stone 4 and now I am 8 stone 8! I need to get to 8 stone 6 and I would of hit my target.

The thing is though as soon as I hit target I can’t stop there, no I don’t mean in a dangerous way. But it’s become my lifestyle now.

I’ve cut out bad lunches which seemed to be the main problem. I have become more aware of calories which is not a bad thing at all and portion sizes are crucial. I have really become educated and feel so motivated all the time. I feel more in control of what I put into my body. I really have proven to myself that I can do it.

It does amaze me how people on slimming world loose so much weight so quickly because I certainly haven’t. But I have to say my way of doing things has been my preferred way.

I’ve learnt over the years, where I had lost weight quickly, I took advantage and ate bad and thought “awh well I’ll just loose it again another time”. Health and fitness is a lifestyle change and there is no quick fix. I do tend to see many on slimming world fall back into bad habits after such a quick weight loss.

Lifestyle changes and routines really help you make those big important steps.

Sometimes if I found an upcoming week where I had free time I would go very intense with my diet and do 800 calories a day and then burn 600 of it off everyday!

This seems dangerous and it could be if you don’t educate yourself enough and get information via doctor. But this is great to loose a few pounds within a week. (I started off small first like 1,000 and then dropped it down more)

The things I was eating were already low in calories anyways. Such as spinage and kale and vegetables. I stuck to quorn meat instead of real meat.

I prefer it now anyways.

It really does involve discipline and it can be very draining so that’s why I always made sure that it was during weeks where I was free.

This can’t be a regular thing though. If you want to do this continuously which I did for 6 weeks. That is plenty! Otherwise you can become dizzy, have nausea, thin hair and constipation.

Any other time just reduce the calorie in take to 1,100/200. And DRINK 2 LITRES OF WATER. This will for sure fill you up and give you all the goodness. Detox is the key to a good health and fitness journey.

Cheat weekends are also very important. Friday and Saturday are my days to eat bad and not feel guilty. This actually helps your body guess itself and your metabolism goes into beast mode. I found I was loosing an extra pound by Sunday!

It’s all about discipline. And I always felt with diets you were missing out and “life’s too short”. That old chest nut. But if you have cheat days you are bound to stick to your diet more and feel you have something to work towards in the week.

A great way to speed up your mstobilmsim is Apple cider vinegar! Two tablespoons in your drink and knock it back 2x a day.

I am now on a 900/1,000 cal a day for a week or 2 and see if I can drop some of those stubborn pounds. I can’t wait to hit target but that doesn’t mean it’s game over.

You always have to maintain to look and feel your best.

I feel so energetic and motivated. So happy I have found a health path that works for me.

Remember always consult your doctor because they can give you the best tips and assure you what’s good for your BMI.

6 short tips

– find someone or something thst influences you. My inspiration was Kourtney Kardashian! Her legs! This can help give you an image in your head. (Bare in mind we are all different but it’s always nice to have something to aspire too)

– try out loads of different health foods to see which ones work for you. I love avocados now.

– research!!!!!

– download apps that help you keep track of your meals/ calories

– make a food diary via app or notepad!!! Hang on your wall as a reminder every time you pass it.

– always wake up a little earlier than before to make healthy breakfast and a good lunch. In time you will become much quicker at preparing foods! I’m so quick now!

When in Rome

When in Rome, well being able to say the famous phrase in the actual destination of love was an experience. Let alone the beautiful sites and the food… oh my goodness the food.

Our favourite area to go for food every evening was around the Trevi fountain. A couple of times we migrated the opposite direction to have food right outside the Pantheon. I admit to having two main courses and a big bottle of rosé to myself. Their courses are strange by the way, there is like starters, first and second, then mains and desert? So of course I had to dive into the experience.

This city break was one of my favourites, I just can’t describe the closeness the city brings to you and your partner. We felt like we connected more? We had a great time being with eachother and it’s been months since we left and we always drop hints about going back. An incredible place to be.

The fascination has always made me curious, but my desire to paint the way people live has stayed with me for as long as I can remember. Perhaps it’s because I live in such a modern house and the only time I hike so many stairs or take lifts (rarely) is if I’m in a hotel. But these civilians live this life and it tickles my interest. The weathered paint for starters. Why is everything the same yellow, mustard and orange colour? Why do some of the buildings look unkept? And why do I prefer it. My father always tries to keep our house immaculate, outside and in. So to see things like this creates a sense of character and any mark is left undisturbed. I like the texture it creates with the real brick and emulsion paint. It gives my hands this urge to find a book and just immetate immediately. This is people’s door. And upstairs are lives shared in the same space. Everything in Rome has a connection, and you certainly felt it in many ways.

Taking pictures for my fashion blog turned out to be a bust. I mean I was so on the ball on my last holiday but Rome just swallowed me up and I ran out of time. I was very annoyed as it was on the top of my to do list because how can you miss a great opportunity for beautiful back drops? Well I did for sure, especially in the Vatican. What an overwhelming experience that was.

The art and tapestries in the Vatican were extremely impressive and the fact there was so many to look at made my eyes gaze down the heavy hall way of art. But so pretty with every fine detail I couldn’t comprehend. The start of this trip turned out so bizar. We exit out of the taxi and an english speaking man is talking to us right away. We didn’t exclude him as a pestering seller so we listened? The angels came down on us because all of a sudden he was taking us through the crowds and passing the four mile long que. Skipped all the ques inside…yes we are inside now, and then we get an english tour guide going through the Vatican. Both me and my partner look at eachother in amazement and laughter because we don’t know how we done it. Mentally preparing ourselves for the que all morning and during the taxi ride. Then we enter the Sistine Chapel that many tour guides said was closed. But somehow it reopened and we were in!!!!!!!

It didn’t stop here.

Borghese museums – couldn’t go in after making the trip down there, because we needed to pre book. An italian lady heard our situation and handed us two free tickets because three people didn’t turn up to her group tour…

Oh yeah!

An experience of a lifetime.

Going out with a bang

Bye bye Spain. Hello spain, ugh I mean Britian… wow it’s hot! I’ve gone from one extreme to the other, which means summer clothes ain’t fading away from my blog anytime soon.

My time away was amazing and I couldn’t of asked for any better with my man. It was our first holiday and we didn’t kill eachother by the end, I think that is a success. In all seriousness, he has been perfect, for some part of the holiday I have been a little ill (stupid aircon, such a love hate relationship) and he was always there for me. I’m struggling to find the words to say how happy and lucky I am.
