Want to hear a funny story about my first trip to Bali for an<br />
article inside? I went to this place called Balangan beach<br />
where the stretch of sand was vast and pristine. The waves<br />
were high and there was a surfing school nearby with surfers<br />
in the water. I spent approximately 5 minutes evaluating my<br />
surroundings to take as many pictures as I can before my guide<br />
called me back to the van.<br />
Don’t get me wrong, I had fun on my first trip to Bali but I am<br />
kind of sad that I didn’t even get to take a dip in their famous blue<br />
waters. However, I was amazed by many other things in Jimbaran,<br />
Bali that made me see a different perspective of the island and its<br />
people. Take a read on page 18.<br />
Beauty junkies that want to try out homegrown brands can<br />
check out our Beauty Kit: Local Travel Edition article on page 26<br />
where we reviewed and shot products from serums to body scrubs<br />
that are easy to travel with and are locally-made. #golocal<br />
If you are aiming for a beach holiday, now is the time as the<br />
monsoon season has passed, giving way to sunny weather for the<br />
next couple of months. This applies to destinations like Bali and<br />
the east coast of Malaysia. Redang Island anyone?<br />
