Bucket List: Vietnam & my powerful Green Tea Scrub

Six Senses Con Dao

Next up on my bucket list of must-visit spa destinations is Vietnam. While there are many well-known spa resorts located around Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, I'm particularly interested in a little island called Con Dao. Never heard before? Yeah, me neither until I stumbled upon a travel magazine article that raves about its untouched beauty and lush tropical mangroves.

The Wellness Curator...

Yesterday these lyrics by the Rolling Stones popped up in my head and I sort of started meditating over it ever since. Do you get what you need instead of what you want right now? Think about it - once you embark on a journey of self-reflection you might just find new horizons opening up for you!

Bucket List: Bali & Nourishing Homemade Hair Mask

Como Shambhala Bali Estate

A little island that has been on my bucket list for many years now is Bali. Search for yoga & wellness retreats on the internet and you'll get at least 20 entries for this "heaven on earth" as yogis, surfers, hippies and world travelers call it. And it's such a shame I've never been there given how close I am (in a geographical and philosophical sense). Despite my meditational efforts, I often become jealous whenever friends or family brag about traveling there, participating in a cleansing yoga retreat, fun surf camp or re-enerizing spirit festival.
