2. Ibiza: More Than Just Nightclubs,
Parties and Drugs
September 30th, 2016
Ibiza is the world’s best example of a ‘yingyang destination’. For every sweaty dancefloor, there’s a
pristine beach. For every party starting at 3am, there’s a yoga class beginning at 6am. For every pill
of ecstacy, there’s an organic smoothie with your name on it.
Sure most people know Ibiza as a party island (and rightfully so), but there’s a completely different
side to Ibiza that makes it one of the most beautiful and spiritual destinations I’ve ever visited.
Although I don’t think I could ever visit Ibiza without dancing till dawn at Amnesia, it would also be
equally as hard for me to visit Ibiza without indulging in “the other side” of the island.
Here’s my list of reasons why Ibiza is much more than just a party:
It’s foodie heaven
From sushi to Italian, Ibiza is home to some incredibly authentic restaurants that will dazzle your
tastebuds with fresh ingredients. Talents chefs from all over the world open restaurants in Ibiza, which
is really no surprise... because who wouldn’t want to live on this island? Of course the local Spanish
food is not to be overlooked either, with plenty of restaurants serving mouthwatering paella and tapas.
4. How To Look Hot In Your Passport Picture
July 17th, 2016
When Kim Kardashian’s passport picture hit the internet last year it left me wondering whether this
was reality or not. It looked more like a supermodel headshot from a casting call than a passport
picture. But this is when reality hit me: there’s nothing stopping any of us from looking hot in our
passport pictures.
Just because you can’t smile doesn’t mean we have to show up for our photos looking like we just
rolled out of bed with a miserable look on our faces. If we treated ‘passport photo day’ like an
important event and took the time for semiprofessional athome make up application, than we’d have
passport pics worth flaunting on social media too.
To come up with a foolproof plan for even the most cosmeticallychallenged woman to follow, I called
on my past experience as a makeup artist for Lancome, Dior and Clarins. I’ve been to countless
training schools and I’ve learned first hand what kind of makeup looks best in photographs.
I’ve also had to take my share of passport pictures in the last few years working as a freelance travel
writer. Between passport renewals, international drivers licenses and visas, I understand exactly what
it takes to get a great looking passport photo! So here are my tips for looking hot in your passport
