Veiled


Like most people that are active on social media, I guess I am one of those normal ones that struggles with self-confidence. Yes, it is normal. I do not know however, if it is healthy to normalise this kind of thing. I became very reluctant to shoot videos of myself due to how much I hate my own voice and how I look. Very self conscious (not shy). I am much better now than how I was in the past because I keep posting photos on the blog and other channels, so if you do struggle with that you are definitely not alone. No matter how many followers do you have, nobody is immune to self-confidence struggles.

But who am I kidding, this is the internet, if people want to find the most embarrassing thing about you, they will definitely find it anyway. This kind of strongly reminded me of Sherlock Holmes from the American series 'Elementary' in which he stated that 'humiliation is the currency of hackers'. (Anyone watches that show too??) 

My awesome friend Farhan shot these photos of me on his film cameras. Although there are some where my face is actually more exposed I much prefer these where my face is more concealed so to speak. I think he managed to capture my tame side, which is cool! Do check out his website (my fav are the portraits, which he did mostly with films) and Instagram

100% Pampered at Unagi Spa

Happy New Year everyone! Holiday season was super intense with work and chores and I am so so happy to be able to have a day off just to be pampered. Unagi Spa has so kindly to let me try their 2-hour massage and it was heavenly, especially after the hectic season of deadlines!

When I entered I was greeted with wonderful smiles and I was just so ecstatic in anticipation of traditional Balinese massage. But... There was a menu! I had to choose which. Let me tell you that they all look enticing but I chose The Fruits Miracle massage.




I went with my awesome friend/housemate Yonni. The massage was so good, and I am not just saying it. When we were done with the full body massage we were treated to individual hot bath! 




BLISS.




What was included in the Spa Package:

  • Foot bath   (5 mins)
  • Balinese Massage (60 mins
  • Avocado & Kaffir lime Body Mask  (30 mins)
  • Flowers bath (30 mins)
  • Body moisturizer  (5 mins)
After the flower bath you can enter the aquatic pool. The water is a bit cold as I was just finishing up with a very blissful warm flower bath but I would totally recommend you to enter. Feels very nice and you will see when you exit the spa, your body feels renewed and lighter.

Massive thanks to Unagi Spa! I would 100% come back and I will bring my mother and other friends, they will surely love it here. Visit Unagi Spa's website here , and Instagram here.
