yogyakarta, java, indonesia After our stay in Malang and our excursion to Mount Bromo, we made a long train journey to Yogyakarta. Being one of th biggest cities in Java, We were never really bored with Yogyakarta. Maybe because our homestay had a swimming pool for us to cool off, or because there were a lot of restaurants i[...]
mount bromo, java, indonesia November 5, 2015 at 12:30am. We get into a tiny teal green Toyota-branded jeep, driven by a very nice man named Hary, for what will be a 3 hours journey up the side of a mountain at night. Hary looks us over as we settle ourselves in, glancing at my friend John's pantless legs, telling us[...]
ubud, bali, indonesia After Kuta and a day of temples, we finally made it to our next stay in Ubud. We stayed at Jangkrik Homestay run by a lovely family with two very adorable dogs. We stayed for about a week, which I think was just a bit too long in terms of finding new things to do in Ubud, but it was very relaxing. On our[...]
tanah lot, bali, indonesia Before we left out hotel in Kuta, John and I hired a driver to take us to our homestay in Ubud. Our initial intention was to go straight there and do a bunch of day trips to the surrounding temples, but our lovely driver--who I'm going to call Gus because I can't for the life of me remember t[...]
kuta, bali, indonesia After 20+ hours of air travel and layovers, I finally made it to Bali with my dear friend John. It was around 4pm on a Friday afternoon when we arrived and we were absolutely exhausted. Yet somehow the both of us managed to functionally stay awake until evening time (like about 9pm) so that we'd be able[...]
The start of my Southeast Asia 2015 trip is fast approaching and as I play the waiting game, I find myself being busier than expected. I have a lot of things that I should and/or have to complete before I leave and well, that doesn't leave much time for anything else. Before I go on a huge trip, I sort of like to become a vegetable, l[...]
Here are my second week art journal spreads for Get Messy Season of Words. I feel like my pages this week are pretty sparse, but that's only because I was sick for most of the week and really didn't have the energy to do anything. I'm surprised I still managed to get at least four spreads done, one for each of the prompts given to us.[...]
It's Get Messy Thursday! This is the day of the week where all the Get Messians share bits of their journals from the current season. These are just the pages that I've done so far in my Season of Words art journal. Most of the spreads were inspired by the journaling and art prompts from this week. I will say that journaling in thi[...]
I'm back with another art journal spread for my The Art of Journaling series here on the blog. With this one I took a more minimalist approach and tried to mimic that style where you use the white space but add hints of color here and there. I centered the entire spread around this die cut from the Inspire Project Life Value Kit, whic[...]
So, I recently joined Get Messy, an art journaling challenge that's also a community of amazing art journalers. I stumbled across it a couple of times in the past, but didn't really look into it until this past week when I kept seeing it everywhere while searching for art journal inspiration. It's a great community of ladies who com[...]
I have decided to create a little series around my art journaling in order to motivate me to creating something on a daily--or at least weekly--basis in my art journal. I've been using the hashtag #artofjournaling on Instagram to share my work, so I figured I'd call my mini series "The Art Of Journaling" and I hope you all enjoy and f[...]
Can you believe I'm going away to Southeast Asia in just 38 days? It's happening so fast now that I've got everything booked, I'm just glad I started preparing for it beforehand. One the things that I always find to be important to me when going on a trip is to have a good travel journal. On my last trip abroad, I documented my travel[...]
