    Rawa, a Rustic Island Paradise in Malaysia

    I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a princess when it comes to holidays and accommodation. I just love fancy hotels with room service and gorgeous decor. I’m a five-star kind of girl. When someone uses the word “rustic” in the description of their holiday, I tend to discount...
  • Scene Shang

    Oriental Design with Modern Flair – Scene Shang

    The Arab Street area of Singapore is a quaint and lovely destination for tourists as well as locals. It used to be known as the textile centre, but in recent years it has also become the haunt for good Middle Eastern food, funky cafés (like The Hangar) and a...
  • Ciao for Now NYC

    Ciao for Now! A farewell NYC Brunch

    Farewell to New York City (NYC)! My last article about my all-too-brief trip to NYC will be on food…specifically breakfast! I love breakfasts and brunches out. So our farewell to NYC brunch was something I had to write about. I’m not one of those “ladies who lunch”. I’m more of a...
  • A Manhattan Bridge Walk

    I think most of us who have visited New York City (NYC) may have done the iconic Brooklyn Bridge walk. We even made the kids do it with us one time (we weren’t too popular that day). It was similar to the day we made them walk across another iconic bridge, the...
  • Brooklyn Bridge

    Brooklyn Wanders

    Whenever I think of Brooklyn, I think of Kate Spade, you know “Cobble Hill’, “Cedar St”, “Cameron St” … or maybe, it’s because I’m slightly obsessed with handbags (and shoes). However, whilst I’ve heard of these places by living my life vicariously through handbags – interesting idea – I’ve...

    DDS in NYC – A Trip Out to Woodbury Common

    What do you do on your first day in New York City (NYC)? Shop of course! Okay, really we had an excuse. We had flown into NYC on Sunday during the day and had to stay awake until bedtime so we spent the rest of the day walking and walking and walking....
  • NYC Empire State

    DDS Goes to New York City (NYC)!

    Last year Misses 12 and 10 (then 11 and 9) went on a school ski trip to Courmayeur, Italy. It was an 8-day trip so they were away from home for eight days, EIGHT days, that’s VIII days. BOTH of them together. This means NO KIDS for EIGHT whole days....
  • About Steaming Onsens and Baring it all at 42

    Shy ladies (and gentlemen), this post may not be for you. It’s about the beautiful Yunomori Onsen & Spa, turning 42 and getting naked. Yes, people, this is about my very first foray into public nudity at an onsen. So, if you’re a tad shy about these things (like I was) and...
  • Katamama Bali suite living area

    Bali’s Uber Chic, Artisan Made, Boutique Hotel – Katamama

    As if Bali didn’t already have enough achingly hip places to be seen, the founders of Potato Head Beach Club have just thrown open the doors to their newest family member, the Katamama Hotel. The all suite luxury property is situated next to the hipsters paradise on the shoreline...
