Below I’ve highlighted the two places I visited which stand out for me and left me with nothing but good memories.
KASIIYA PAPAGAYO
This was our third stop after Arenal and it really is a little hidden gem! Having opened its doors last December, Kasiiya Papagayo, situated in one of the earth’s “blue zones” embodies everything I love about Costa Rica. An ecological, luxurious sanctuary nestled amongst 123 acres of wild land, this little hidden paradise is nothing short of exceptional!
There are only 5 tented suites on the property and each one is strategically placed to offer guests a sense of seclusion, luxury and immersion into the naturural beauty that surrounds it. It really did feel like we were far away from the madding crowd, with the sounds of monkeys waking us up at 5am. (The oddest kind of alarm clock!)
Luckily for the 3 days we stayed there, Jess, myself and another couple were the only ones on the property with a full team of staff catering to our every need and with communication being through a walkie-talkie, Jess and I couldn’t help but find it rather bizarre but we adapted quickly.
Our suited tent was stunning with access to the private beach, a huge open decking with a copper bath tub and shower outside.
As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, it’s time to transition your wardrobe from summer’s light fabrics to the warm, cozy layers of fall. A good coat is essential not only for keeping you warm but also for adding a touch of style to your autumn ensemble. Here’s a roundup of the top five coats you should consider adding to your collection this fall.
1. Classic Trench Coat
The trench coat is a timeless staple that effortlessly blends elegance with practicality. Made from water-resistant fabric, it features a belted waist and double-breasted design, making it perfect for unpredictable fall weather. Pair it with a sweater and jeans for a chic, laid-back look, or wear it over a dress for a more polished appearance.
2. Leather Jacket
No fall wardrobe is complete without a classic leather jacket. This edgy staple adds a touch of rebellion to any outfit. Whether you prefer a classic biker style or a sleek bomber, leather jackets come in various fits and finishes. Pair it with a floral dress for a chic contrast or throw it over a turtleneck and jeans for a laid-back vibe. Plus, it only gets better with age!
3. Houndstooth Wool Blazer
The houndstooth wool blazer adds a touch of sophistication and pattern to your fall wardrobe. Made from warm wool, this blazer features a classic houndstooth print that elevates any outfit. It’s versatile enough to be worn over a turtleneck for a smart casual look or layered under a coat for added warmth. Perfect for both office wear and evenings out, this blazer is a stylish addition to your fall collection.
4. Teddy Jacket
The teddy jacket is the ultimate in cozy fashion for fall. Made from soft, plush fabric, this jacket offers warmth and comfort without sacrificing style. Its relaxed fit and fluffy texture make it a great layering piece, perfect for wearing over casual outfits or even dressier ensembles. Available in various colors, it adds a touch of coziness and style to any autumn look.
5. Pile-Lined Jacket
The pile-lined jacket is another fantastic choice for staying warm this fall. Featuring a soft, fuzzy lining that traps heat, this jacket is perfect for chilly days. It often comes in a durable outer material, making it great for outdoor adventures. With its relaxed fit and comfortable feel, it pairs well with everything from jeans to skirts, ensuring you look stylish while staying cozy.
As you prepare for the fall season, investing in a stylish and functional coat is essential. Whether you prefer the classic sophistication of a trench, the rugged appeal of a wax jacket, or the ultra-cozy feel of a pile-lined jacket, there’s a perfect coat for everyone. Embrace the cooler weather with confidence and style, and enjoy the beautiful autumn days ahead!
I’m not gonna lie, this post is just so that I can gush over how amazing this fringe belt is. But I think I’d like to give yall a small list of statement belts that rock my socks and step things up several if not all of the notches.
I’m a huge fan of belts and topper accessories alike; i.e. harnesses, gun holsters, cropped vests, corsets, etc… (to which I own them all).
These are some of the easiest Hero-Pieces you’ll ever find, and in some case, that you’ll ever need. You’ll notice in the slideshow below; my tried & true/ first & foremost, is a spike or studded belt. And for my more bohemian or “softer” looks, I rock a multi-colored braided belt or an array of other outfit-toppers. I don’t have much documentation of all the corsets, harnesses, cinchers, holsters, etc… but that will all change soon enough. Keep an eye out for the next post.
How many articles have you read that encourage you to have a closet clearout/wardrobe refresh every year?
(Weirdly I received yet another one in a newsletter I subscribe to while I was writing this post. Someone obviously heard my furious keyboard tapping coming from the shadow of my chairdrobe.)
Decluttering has been a big thing ever since Marie Kondo introduced us to the KonMari Method of decluttering and uttered those (now famous) words, “Does it spark joy?” – and to be honest, I’m a fan. I always feel better when I have a good clear out at home, and the results are worth every minute of decluttering, decisions and *ahem* dust. I’m even working towards Swedish death cleaning my house. (My progress is slow but steady; I’m aiming to finish by the age of 80. I figured 28 years should be enough time to get it done.)
So to address this uncluttered phenomenon: yes, I regularly go through my wardrobe and clear out clothes that I know I won’t wear anymore, for whatever reason. They get donated or put into the car boot sale/online selling pile (which reminds me, I have to get round to doing both of those things.)
[Reading time: 6 mins]
However, I’m not entirely comfortable with the advice that tells us that the way to declutter your wardrobe is to judge every item on whether it’s been worn in the last year. Or even more extreme, the last six months.
What the WHAT now?! If I haven’t worn something in the last six months I should just get rid of it?? Seriously?
Any Brit will know that items in their summer wardrobe don’t get much of an outing and, if you take this year as an example, warmer temperatures have only really started appearing in the last couple of weeks or so. (Don’t get me started on the fact that the shops are stocking Autumn-Winter lines already, WTF.) Therefore I have a ton of summer clothes (well, dresses) that I still love and of course haven’t worn since last year or maybe even the year before, because we just don’t get enough hot summer days to wear a different summer dress every day.
But more than that, I can’t fit into the majority of my wardrobe right now. I have SO many clothes that I absolutely ADORE – I mean I love them like you’d love a beautiful oil painting or a stunning sculpture you have as part of your home décor – but they don’t fit me. Still, here’s the rub (much like my thighs experience on a daily basis, little joke for you there): I want to wear them. But just because they don’t fit me now doesn’t mean they won’t fit me ever.
And the fact that I love these clothes so much is why purging the clothes that no longer fit will NOT make me feel better. In fact, it would make me far MORE miserable and sad to get rid of them than it does to have them in the wardrobe and not be able to wear them. And I don’t think it’s fair to be indirectly berated by these draconian decluttering articles that tell me my life would be SO much better if only I had a full-blown purge and tossed them out.
I’m telling you, I would PINE for them. Like a child who’s been told their cherished, threadbare muslin needs to be thrown out. Or a dog whose favourite toy is so old and chewed up that it’s barely recognisable as a rabbit (“A rabbit? I thought it was a platypus…”) – you can’t get rid of it, can you? It would break its heart. Older people often love their trinkets that are so old-fashioned that the temptation to say “Mum, are you sure you want to keep that horse ornament with the brass horseshoes on it?” is not a wise one to succumb to. Don’t go there. Leave the ornaments be.
In the same way, leave me and my wardrobe alone, you decluttering freaks.
I’m not disillusioned, oh no
Now, before anyone says “Oh but you should just accept your size and move on!” – can I just say that yes, I’m firmly in the body size acceptance camp. I have fully embraced the fact that at the age of 52, I’ll likely never be a size 8 again and nor do I want to be. My weight gain in recent years is not purely down to “just middle age”, perimenopause or anything age or metabolism-related. I’ve had a huge number of health problems lately, all of which have resulted in me being almost totally unable to walk around the house, let alone anything resembling (even gentle) exercise.
Sciatica pain is one of the most debilitating conditions to have when you’re a mostly healthy person, and as someone who enjoys their food it means I ended up being stressed, tired and lethargic – and gaining weight at a scary rate. It’s not a case of “Ugh I’ve put on 10lb/5kg” (oh, the poor sweet child who cries that)… I am 48lb/22kg/3.5 stone heavier than I was before all the pain started three years ago. (And I could be heavier than that, I haven’t weighed myself in a while.) So right now, even my previously bigger clothes are now way too small for me.
But that’s perfectly okay. I’m not losing sleep over the clothes issue. But what I AM concerned about is my health. The weight gain does have to be addressed if I don’t want an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis (which my mother suffers from and my joints are pretty painful already) or any other weight-related issues that can have a severely detrimental effect on my health. My goal is, therefore, to improve my health and get back to a reasonable (i.e. healthy) weight, and the first stop has been physiotherapy. I’ve been having regular physio for several months and can now finally feel like I can move again without pain.
That goal should mean that I get fitter and trimmer and be able to do the things I love doing once more: running, hiking, weight training, dancing round the kitchen without collapsing before You Should Be Dancing by the Bee Gees has even finished. I was on a trampoline with my six-year-old great niece the other weekend and I could barely do more than a couple of bounces before my knee went Er, NOPE?! That needs to change; I’m intending to get back on that trampoline and bounce my middle-aged toosh into next week before the summer is over.
✷ ✷ ✷ ✷ ✷
I am not a minimalist and never will be
I’ve already purged the teeny-tiny size 8 clothes that I know I’ll never, ever get back into (or at least earmarked them for selling). The clothes I want to wear are the ones I was wearing just a couple of years ago, the ones I still love and adore and want to wear again. I also want to be able to wear my collection of vintage shirts and dresses.
So if I were to take the advice of some of these articles that tell you to purge your wardrobe of anything you haven’t worn in six months or a year, then to be honest I’d have nothing left that brings me joy. I am not a minimalist. I like to be organised and have everything incredibly tidy, spick and span – but a minimalist I am not.
It would break my heart to say goodbye to my flared trouser pink corduroy jumpsuit or my plunge neck terracotta jumpsuit. I’m not ready to let go of my pink-striped vintage DVF jumpsuit (over my dead body). In other words, I just want to wear all my jumpsuits again 😉 – if my house were burning down I’d 100% be going back in to save them. Them AND the dresses.
(Well maybe not really, but you get my point. Though I might go back for the vintage striped one… I mean, LOOK just how fabulous it is…)
I do know that decluttering is key
I’m not denying that decluttering has a therapeutic effect – it does. I know only too well that having a messy, cluttered home results in my own irritation and lack of productivity. I get angry with such small, trivial things when the house is a mess. My wardrobe is super-organised and tidy; even my socks and pants are rolled up beautifully in my drawers à la Marie Kondo… she’d be so impressed. (I’ve thought about DM-ing her a photo of my underwear drawer like a proud panties parent, but that might get me blocked.)
My wardrobe is just… fuller than it should be. It still has many, many items that I can’t wear, but want to. (I say “it” like it’s singular – I have three double wardrobes plus a rail for protected occasion wear and winter coats in the loft. I am not ashamed.) I love looking at these items and remembering the fabulous outfits they created. There are beautiful vintage pieces that I could NEVER part with. Why would I want to? They won’t date, they’re dated already as I like to say. And I have items that are 10, 12, heck, even 15 years old that I’m going to hang on to because good lord, I made some great purchasing decisions back in the day. Go 30 and 40-something me.
But I DO keep these too-small-but-dearly-loved items separate and slightly to one side, knowing that they’re there and waiting for my fitness levels to return. Because I can do both: the decluttering of everyday stuff that’s worn out/not doing me any favours/not getting me excited PLUS the keeping of certain, beautiful pieces that I fully intend to fit into at some point.
In my eyes, if I give up on those pieces then I’ve given up on looking after my body. And if I do get fit and my body shape doesn’t change, then so be it… but I’ll be healthy. I’ll be strong. Strong enough to build a giant glass-fronted cabinet (like the V&A costume collection, oh yeah) for those treasured pieces. They can be displayed and gazed at from time to time without ever being worn ever again. Just watch me.
Do you think we should purge our wardrobes every 6-12 months and get rid of anything we haven’t worn in that time, without exception? Or are you like me and far too fond of certain pieces to just let them go even if they haven’t been worn? Share with me in the comments below!

We don’t always take road trips to escape. Sometimes, we take them to feel more present, to discover hidden gems, and to make unforgettable memories. As writer Angela N. Blount once said, “Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.”
In rural Philippines, where every curve in the road may reveal a mountain, a scenic cliff, or a coastline, road trips are more than a way to travel; they’re a chance to reconnect with nature, with friends, or even with yourself. This is the kind of thrill that only a road trip can offer — an adventure that will stay with you for a long time.
And with PLDT Home’s One Mega Giveaway (OMG) promo, your next adventure could come with a brand-new Toyota Fortuner, ₱1 million in cash, or free fiber internet for life.
Before we tell you how, let’s talk about where to go. Here are four road trips from Manila that are scenic, soul-stirring, and full of moments that you’ll never forget.
1. SCTEX and Halsema Highway: Baguio and beyond
Also known as the Baguio-Bontoc Road or Mountain Trail, the Halsema Highway climbs steadily from the lowlands of La Trinidad, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of urban life. Once dubbed the “death highway,” Halsema is now a stunning route through the Cordillera mountains.
The journey begins on the outskirts of Baguio City. As your Toyota Fortuner navigates the winding ascent, you’ll see the landscape transforming: terraced mountainsides sculpted by indigenous hands over centuries cascade down. During planting season, these terraces mirror the sky in pools of water; during harvest, they turn golden in celebration of abundance.
Stop at Atok, Benguet’s Highest Point marker. On clear days, Mt. Pulag, the country’s third-highest peak, looms in the distance, its summit often haloed with a sea of clouds that locals call the “playground of the gods.”
The true magic of the Halsema Highway isn’t just in its breathtaking vistas, but in the intimate glimpses of mountain life it offers. Indigenous Igorot communities continue their ways alongside the modern road, women in traditional garb carry baskets of produce on their heads.
By the time you reach Sagada or Bontoc, you’ve traversed not just a highway but a living museum of Philippine highland culture, where the past and present coexist in balance.
SCTEX Highway Central Luzon
2. SCTEX to Clark: A short but satisfying drive
You can also make a quick escape to Central Luzon’s rich culture with a trip to Clark, Pampanga.. Take Skyway 3, then North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), continue on to SCTEX, and exit at Clark North for a smooth two-hour drive depending on traffic.
After exploring golf courses, high-end integrated resorts, and shopping malls in Clark, indulge in Pampanga’s cultural and natural attractions, including famous Kapampangan restaurants — artist and chef Claude Tayag’s Bale Dutung, which now has a walk-in restaurant in addition to the private dining, reservations-only section. Then check out where Claude took Anthony Bourdain to introduce him to Kapampangan cuisine: Aling Lucing (for sisig) and ARlyns Carinderia (for papaitan).
3. The Tanay-Infanta Road: The Sierra Madre’s secret pass
Some of the most rewarding journeys are those less traveled, and the road from Tanay, Rizal, to Infanta, Quezon, remains one of Luzon’s best-kept secrets. This route cuts through the heart of the Sierra Madre mountain range, the longest in the Philippines– offering a breathtaking transition from the outskirts of Metro Manila to the wild Pacific coast.
The adventure begins in the rolling hills of Tanay, where weekend motorcyclists gather at viewpoints overlooking the Laguna de Bay. As you continue, Manila’s sprawl disappears behind you, replaced by increasingly dense forests, and the air grows noticeably cooler and fresher.
Indigenous Dumagat communities, who have called these mountains home for centuries, maintain small settlements along the route where traditional crafts and mountain foods can sometimes be purchased from roadside stands.
The true drama of this journey comes at Bantakay Falls and the series of hairpin turns known locally as “Magnetic Hill.” As you descend toward Infanta, Quezon, the view gives way to coconut plantations, and eventually, the vast Pacific Ocean.
Mayon Volcano
4. Pan-Philippine Highway: Bicolandia’s coastal escape
A road trip through the Bicol region offers more than just the perfect view of Mayon Volcano—it’s a slow-burning adventure that builds with every kilometer. In Legazpi City, the iconic cone-shaped volcano looms dramatically in the backdrop. If you want to go further, follow the Pan-Philippine Highway south through lush coconut plantations and sleepy fishing towns toward the province of Sorsogon.
The drive itself is a visual feast: rice paddies that stretch endlessly on one side, while glimpses of the Pacific Ocean peek out from winding coastal roads. Stop by Bacon District for panoramic sea cliffs, then detour to the quaint town of Donsol, where you can swim with whale sharks (butanding) during peak season. Cap off your journey in Matnog, where pink sand beaches and crystal-clear waters await.
It’s a soul-soothing escape deep into the heart of southern Luzon, where every stop is a reminder that sometimes, the best trips are the ones less hyped.

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Jo Malone London is on fire at the moment – another launch arrived last week and this time it’s Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense. My goodness, it’s moody! I’m not so much of an oud fan but there is something about this note arrangement that is really rather sumptuous and enticing. I’m always a sucker for someone wearing Amber Lavender – that floral kick is irresistible in a masculine setting but Amber Labdanum is a level up with bitter orange and vanilla wrapping the amber labdanum.
I’m genuinely not familiar with the roasted oakwood note – I’m not sure I can even pull it out of the line up – but there is a roundedness to this fragrance that makes it so smooth, warm and remarkably sensual. Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense is indeed intense with a rush of everything all at once in the beginning and a lighter and brighter reveal as the wear goes on.
I find it leaning heavily towards traditional masculine fragrances and to be honest, I’d probably find myself heavily leaning into a neck doused in this. You know that somehow almost all men look sexy in black tie? Well, I think we can say that Amber Labdanum is the olfactory tuxedo that will universally super-charge our menfolk and that’s not something to dismiss. A little goes a very long way with Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense – I used the tiniest spray in the crook of my arm and found it lasted the entire day. Not cheap at £164, and in fact, it’s a Harrods exclusive HERE, but as I say, you don’t need much because it’s here for a good time and a long time 🙂
Nothing beats the feeling of fresh, bouncy, smooth hair that moves like it has its own attitude. I’m talking blowout hair. That swish you see in hair commercials? Yeah, that. And the best part? You can totally get that look at home without booking a salon appointment.
So, What’s a Blowout Anyway?
A blowout is when you use a blow dryer and a brush to stretch, smooth, and shape your hair. No flat iron. No curling wand. Just your hands, some heat, and the right technique. When done right, it gives you body and shine, —even if you’re in your third day of dry shampoo and haven’t washed your hair since… let’s not talk about it.
Why Bother With a Blowout?
Because it makes your hair look amazing. Period. You get instant volume, a sleek finish, and it can last for days—like, 3 to 5 if you sleep cute and don’t get caught in the rain. It works for all hair types too. Straight, wavy, frizzy—there’s a blowout version for all of us. If you’re tired of your hair falling flat five minutes after styling it, this is your new secret weapon.
What You’ll Need to Blowout Hair
Tools I Swear By:
- A round brush (for volume) or a paddle brush (for smoothness).
- A blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle. The nozzle’s not optional. It helps you focus the airflow and cut down on frizz.
- Sectioning clips.
- You could also throw in some rollers if you’re feeling fancy or want more shape.
Products That Actually Do Something:
- Heat protectant. Non-negotiable. Your ends will thank you later.
- Volumizing mousse or something with a little grit.
- A texture spray or hairspray to lock everything in place once you’re done.
Okay, Let’s Do This – Step-by-Step
1. Start Clean-ish
Wash and condition your hair. Nothing too heavy. Towel-dry, then go in with your heat protectant and whatever styling product you’re using. I like leave in conditioner with a heat protectant because it conditions while protecting my hair.
2. Rough Dry
Blast your hair with the dryer until it’s about 80% dry. No brush yet. This isn’t about technique—it’s just about getting most of the water out fast. Bonus: it gives your roots a natural lift.
3. Section Like a Pro (or Try To)
Split your hair into 4 to 6 sections depending on how thick it is. Clip everything up and work one section at a time. This is how you avoid that half-curly-half-wet mess I used to end up with when I rushed things.
4. Pull, Roll, Repeat
Take your brush and start from root to ends, pulling the hair tight and rolling it under at the bottom if you want a little curl or bounce. Aim the dryer down the hair shaft. Always. That’s how you get shine and not fluff.
5. Seal It With Cool
When each section is dry, blast it with the cool shot. It sets the shape and makes everything smoother. Don’t skip it. It actually makes a difference.
Want Your Blowout to Look Salon-Level? Try These Tips
- Smaller sections = better results. I know, it takes longer. But it’s worth it.
- Play with your dryer’s settings. Ionic on for sleekness. Off if you want more volume.
- Clip each section in pin curls after you dry it and let it cool. It sets the shape better. Think of it like baking—let it rest.
What Could Go Wrong? (And How to Save It)
- Frizz? Try using a narrower nozzle or go down a notch on heat.
- Roots flat? Flip your head while drying and lift the hair with your brush.
- Still damp after 20 minutes? You skipped rough drying. Keeping It Cute for Days
Want that blowout to survive your sleep habits? Here’s what I do:
- Sleep with your hair in a loose high pony or bun using a silk scrunchie.
- Use a satin pillowcase or bonnet. Regular cotton? Nah. It’ll suck the moisture out and kill your vibe.
- Dry shampoo and a quick fluff with the dryer can bring it back to life by day three.
Also, I go into more detail in my night hair care post, if you need sleep-proofing tips that don’t involve sleeping like a statue.
Switch It Up
Want smooth and straight? Paddle brush it. Want bounce and movement? Use a round brush. You can even finish the look with a curling wand or rollers if you’re going for that blowout-meets-glam vibe. I do that when I want to fake a “professional” blowout for date night.
Is It Bad for My Hair?
Only if you’re doing it all the time with no heat protection. Be smart. Use good products. Don’t crank your dryer to the highest setting every single time. Deep condition in between and your hair will be fine.
Speaking of which, if you’re into hair health (which, let’s be honest, you should be), you might like my post on healthy hair care for natural or relaxed hair.
Quick Q&A Time
How long does a blowout last?
Three to five days, depending on how you treat it and your hair type. If you’re oily or live in a humid place, keep that dry shampoo handy.
Can I blowout wet hair?
Not straight out of the shower, no. Let it air dry a bit or rough dry it until it’s almost dry before you go in with the brush.
Round vs. paddle brush—what’s better?
Depends what you want. Round gives you body and shape. Paddle gives you that sleek, straight finish. I honestly switch depending on my mood.

Aku tidak akan pernah lupa saat aku menjadi perempuan “seutuhnya”, I think you ladies know what I’m talking about right? Yes betul, tak akan terlupakan saat dimana si bulan datang untuk pertama kalinya dan badan kita melalui banyak sekali perubahan. Perbincangan dengan Ibu yang tadinya hanya membahas PR sekolah mulai tersirat pesan untuk bekal merawat dan menjaga diri sebagai seorang perempuan. Lucunya walau zaman sudah modern, Ibu masih menerapkan ritual kewanitaan yang diturunkan oleh Nenekku salah satunya adalah membasuh area V dengan air sirih. Saat itu aku berpikir kok jadi perempuan ribet banget ya, sampe harus godok daun sirih lah, minum jamu lah haduh sebagai remaja itu memakan waktu sangat banyak. Ibu selalu cerewet untuk aku melakukan ritual ini dan berulang kali mengingatkan bahwa menjaga kebersihan area sensitive kita hukumnya wajib! Bahkan kalo ketauan aku males-malesan beliau bisa marah, jadi ya mau gak mau selama aku tinggal dibawah atapnya dia aku harus melakukan ritual kewanitaan yang diwajibkan.
Seiring berjalannya waktu, tahun ke tahun umurku pun bertambah dan sekarang aku makin menyadari betapa pentingnya merawat diri sebagai wanita dewasa. Semakin aktif beraktifitas, maka semakin lembap area kewanitaan. Akibatnya? Infeksi, jamur, gatal, keputihan dan pastinya bau yang tidak sedap.
Maka dari itu dengan jadwalku yang padat, aku butuh ritual yang sama efektifnya dengan metode ala tradisional Ibu, namun dengan waktu yang ringkas.
