Your sweet & silly nature, big character & obsession with food makes us smile every day. We love you endlessly and canโ€™t wait for more adventures together! โค๏ธ

Every detail tells a story at Artyzen Singapore, where the cityโ€™s rich heritage meets modern elegance. ๐ŸคŽโ€จโ€จThe concrete spiral staircase found at โ€™s level 4 event space is reminiscent of the iconic spiral staircases of 1920s Singapore, subtly woven into the contemporary design of the hotel.

Weโ€™re in love.

Thereโ€™s something about the European Summer, that just makes it acceptable to have a spritz at every (and any) opportunityโ€ฆ well, it would just be rude not to right?

If you google โ€˜Lahangan Sweetโ€™ youโ€™ll see a very different view point than the one we did. ๐Ÿ‘€

Getting there was a difficult journey, the roads were incredibly windy and steepโ€ฆ and at some points we honestly didnโ€™t think we could possibly drive any higherโ€ฆ (it was quite scary!) For the last part we had to get out and take a jeep because the mud path was so narrow and bumpy!

When we finally reached the view pointโ€ฆ we were completely surrounded by clouds. We waited patiently, praying they would clearโ€ฆ but it was totally out of our hands, and eventually we had to leave as the sun was going to set and we didnโ€™t want to descend in the pitch black!

A very humbling IG versus reality moment. Sometimes things donโ€™t go to plan and thereโ€™s nothing you can do about it! So here is a very moody photo of us looking out into the clouds โ˜๏ธ

Did you know that Munduk in Northern Bali is home to these beautiful fields of blue hydrangeas? ๐Ÿ’™

It was our first time exploring Bali beyond Canggu, Uluwatu & Ubud โ€” and we got such a better understanding of the โ€œrealโ€ side of Bali. Driving through Munduk there were fields and fields of blue hydrangeas and farmers on scooters with hundreds piled on the back โ€” we stopped to take a few photos (with permission from the land owners of course).

There are so many parts of Bali that we visited in the camper that weโ€™ve never heard ofโ€ฆ which is quite surprising for such a small island. People gravitate to the obvious parts, but there is so much more to see in Bali - do you have any favourite spots that nobody talks about?

Check out the link in our bio ๐Ÿ”— to see the YouTube video of our full Bali Campervan trip.

Exploring the North and Central parts of Bali really did open our eyes to how much more there is to see in Bali. Itโ€™s easy to get sucked in by the bright lights of Canggu and Uluwatu, but travelling in the campervan was such a great way to find the lesser known parts of Bali. ๐Ÿƒ

The Banyumala Twin Waterfalls were so beautiful. When we arrived it was mid afternoon and the cloud where quite low so they swept through the valley creating a really dreamy feel. It was busy with local tourists so weโ€™d say that you should get there early if you want to get some wider shots without people in itโ€ฆ or just use AI and remove the lot of โ€˜em lol.

In 2023, we learnt the value of having a ๐‘ด๐’๐’“๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘น๐’๐’–๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’†.Weโ€™ve never really been one for routines, thinking they would s...

In 2023, we learnt the value of having a ๐‘ด๐’๐’“๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘น๐’๐’–๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’†.

Weโ€™ve never really been one for routines, thinking they would strip the fun and spontaneity out of our lives and stifle creativity, but our routine has become a really important foundation for our day. The last half of the year, we did the routine almost every day and weโ€™re aiming at doing it 300 days this year - 295 to go! The routine includes;

๐Ÿ’ง Drinking a glass of water when we wake up
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ 10 minutes of yoga
๐ŸŒฑ 10 minutes of meditation
โœ๏ธ 10 minutes of journalling

Keeping the tasks small and achievable really helps to reduce the friction to do the task - itโ€™s not a huge lift in the morning and no matter where we are we usually always have time for it. Bolting them together has also meant we get 3 for the price of 1!

There have been so many benefits weโ€™ve experienced from doing this - from mental clarity to general happiness and wellbeing. Itโ€™s also brought us much closer together as a couple.

Do you have any daily routines you would recommend?

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ You may have noticed weโ€™ve been MIA for a while! 2023 for us has been a big year. We moved back to the UK for Mackโ€™s job at the end of 2022, relocating to Brighton. We visited Bali to experience van life, and had 5 weddings which took us from Bali to Lancashire, Shropshire, Lanouaille and Tel Aviv. We then got engaged ourselves in Puglia in September! We used the year to really focus on recentering ourselves, work, and seeing as much of our friends and family as we could.

Honestly, our socials have been less important to us in 2023. We wanted to take the year to lean in to every part of being home in the UK and this meant less posting in favour of being present and in the moment. A choice like this will always come with a side dish of guilt, but we accepted it and weโ€™re really happy with what itโ€™s done for us mentally. Because as well as seeing friends and family, we also have been focusing on improving our work life balance and our mental health.

Weโ€™ve set new routines, processes and boundaries and as we take a keen step into 2024 weโ€™re really excited to not only come out of the gates hot, but be more consistent, and more balanced in general.

We have missed you all truth be told! And weโ€™re looking forward to sharing our journey in 2024 with you.

Itโ€™s funny because Iโ€™ve always saidโ€ฆ itโ€™ll be easy to surprise me โ€” because we always do cute & unique experiences when we travel (and of course we always document it too!)

As the sun was setting Mack said โ€œooh, letโ€™s try some standing ones!โ€ Little did I know, he had already been practicing his kneeling (last slide haha!) And there, he got down on one knee and proposed ๐Ÿฅน

Whilst visiting our beloved Singapore, our stay at was absolutely charming!

Right in the heart of the Civic And Cultural District, we were spoilt with five star luxury throughout our stay. ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ

From the warm welcome, exceptional service, beautiful heritage building & gorgeous roomsโ€ฆ to the incredible breakfast buffet. Itโ€™s safe to say we were well & truly looked after.

If youโ€™re visiting Singapore, The Capitol Kempinski is a must from us! ๐Ÿค

We had the best 3D2N Stay during our (short but sweet) visit back to the little red dot a couple of weeks ago! ๐Ÿ”ด

Perfectly situated in the heart of the city, we had views of the Singapore river, the sun was shining for us ๐ŸŒž during some much needed pool time, and the amazing buffet breakfast (the Nasi lemak station made Tessa VERY happy!) set us up for our busy weekend reconnecting with friends ๐Ÿฅฐ

The & workshop were so much fun too โ€” and both take place in-house (go check out their packages for more details!)

We canโ€™t wait to visit again soon ๐Ÿฅน

Itโ€™s funny how many other couples weโ€™ve met that have a similar storyโ€ฆ I guess we all have our reasons for leaving home, but we definitely found it in each other. I (Tessa) literally clapped when I heard Mackโ€™s Northern accent (he thought I was a bit weirdโ€ฆ until I started speaking too!)

We legit bonded over cups of tea, โ€˜hot dinnersโ€™, and he sealed the deal by baking me a cheese pie! ๐Ÿฅง

The best way to explore Pulau Ubin is definitely by renting a bicycle (there are plenty of rental shops as you arrive!)

Taking a step back into kampong life, we rode around the little island island, exploring the different trails, view points and spotting monkeys & wild boar along the wayโ€ฆ all before ending with a well earned fresh coconut stop ๐Ÿฅฅ๐ŸŒด

Donโ€™t quite know why it took us so long of living in Singapore to make it over to Pulau Ubin โ€” but we finally visited a few months before we relocated last year!

Just a short 15 minute bumboat ride away from Changi Point, it feels like a proper little getaway and is definitely a day trip worth taking!

Have you been to Pulau Ubin before?

Thoughts, Affirmations & Practices that have helped us be more positive, grounded and kind to ourselves during this year of change โœจ โ€”โ€” Save for later.

Donโ€™t forget, not everything you see on the internet is as perfect as it seems. We all have our down days, and days we question our purpose and pathโ€ฆ we are all learning & growing ๐ŸŒฑ itโ€™s all part of the process!

Sending lots of love,

Honestly, we completely fell in love with Sri Lanka โ€˜the teardrop in the seaโ€™ on this trip.

We still canโ€™t believe how much we squeezed into 2 weeks โ€” but we made sure we ended with a few completely unplanned & schedule free days by the coast. Seriously, this country is so varied & has so much to offer itโ€™s unreal.

Weโ€™d come back just for the beaches tbh, and that says a lot ๐Ÿค
