SEATTLE TRAVEL GUIDE

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I have wanted to visit Seattle ever since the first time I watched the movie “Sleepless In Seattle”. I’d heard so many great things about the city and it just seemed like a beautiful and romantic city. If you follow me, you can see I can’t stay in one place for long. I keep it moving, and sometimes I just need to leave LA whenever I start feeling uninspired, and traveling keeps me inspired. I find that when I am in a new surrounding or exploring someplace I’ve never been, I feel creative and think of new ideas and things to keep me motivated. I decided to leave LA last minute on Memorial Day weekend and book a quick trip to Seattle by myself. I have a few friends there so was just going to wing it and explore…what I do best! I wasn’t planning on filming a video while I was there, it was more of a vacation weekend for me, but decided to get some clips here and there in case I changed …

SINGAPORE

Published by Nicole Isaacs

Singapore had been on my list of places to visit in Asia ever since I saw a picture of the iconic infiniti pool on top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel. I got to give credit to Instagram, it really changed the game for so many industries, the travel industry being one of them. I have traveled and added so many more places on my travel bucket list because of pictures I’ve seen on social media. Although my stay in Singapore was short, the city is quite small so my two days felt like enough time to see all the main landmarks and get a good feel of the city and had a great experience. Singapore is a very cosmopolitan city and reminded me a lot of Las Vegas. It was the first place I visited in Asia that didn’t feel like Asia. The Singapore skyline was one of the most breathtaking cityscapes I’d ever seen. I was blown away by the architecture of the city. The shapes and structures of the buildings was like …

SEMINYAK, BALI

Published by Nicole Isaacs

Seminyak is Bali’s party scene. It’s a fun beach town buzzing with restaurants, boutiques, bars and beach clubs. If you want to experience the action, I definitely recommend visiting Seminyak. It has an entirely different feel from Ubud and it’s good to experience both. My Seminyak list includes these trendy spots: Potato Head Beach Club, Ku De Ta, Motel Mexicola, La Plancha Beach Bar, Sarong restaurant, and the W hotel. W RESORT & SPA SEMINYAK I stayed a few nights at the W Resort and Spa in the heart of Seminyak. Located right on the beach and next to the popular Potato Head Beach Club, the W has an exciting energy and is the perfect place to stay to be in the heart of all the action. It was a nice change of pace after relaxing in Ubud for a few days. I stayed there during the W’s 5-year anniversary party and danced under the stars and fireworks at the Woobar. I got my party fix in, but also had time to relax and enjoy …

BEAUTY OBSESSION: SALLY HANSEN AIRBRUSH LEGS

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I had a huge shoot recently for something really exciting. (Can’t wait to show you guys what its for!). I have been working really hard preparing for it and wanted to feel my best. I discovered the Priv app where you can book beauty services straight to your door which is super convenient for me because I hate driving around to a million appointments on the day of a photoshoot. I wanted to have a tan and glowy look for my shoot, so decided to try out the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs spray to give me an even golden glow. I booked someone to come to my house and airbrush my legs with the new Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs spray. I am obsessed with this product. It covers any imperfections such as bruises, veins, cellulite, scars, etc. and gives you a natural golden tan. It’s not sticky or thick either- it’s light and dries quickly leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth. It’s been hard to find body makeup products that match my exact skin tone, and …

AUSTRALIA

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I packed my bags for a 3 week trip out the country. First stop —> Australia. Australia had been on the top of my bucket list for a long time. One of my closest friends moved to Sydney for a few months for work, and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to visit. She finished her 3-month job when I came to visit, and from Sydney we both traveled to Bali together. I only stayed in Australia for 5 days, which wasn’t enough time, but had a great experience nonetheless. It is such a huge continent with so much beauty and places to see. I definitely want to go back and spend more time and visit other cities. I stayed in Sydney but flew to Cairns for a night to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef for a day which was an experience of a lifetime and I highly recommend it. My friend and I took a private helicopter ride over the reef and landed on a small platform in the middle of the ocean to …

FOUR SEASONS BALI EXPERIENCE

Published by Nicole Isaacs

FOUR SEASONS SAYAN I couldn’t leave Ubud without experiencing the Four Seasons Sayan. It came highly recommended and is another great choice when looking into luxury accommodations in Ubud. Also located in the middle of the rainforest and alongside the Ayung River, the Four Seasons exudes complete tranquility surrounded by the beauty of mother nature. It’s unique architecture was built from the inspiration of Ubud’s signature rice terraces, staying true to traditional Balinese design. The resort’s main entrance is breathtaking, with a vast circular lily pond on top of the main lobby, signifying the center of a large rice bowl. The lush property is surrounded by tropical palms, rice farms, lily ponds and scattered gardens of fruit trees, medicinal and spice plants, all of which are labeled by name. The Four Seasons put together a personalized itinerary of Sayan Signature Experiences which allowed me to really get the full resort experience. I practiced Power and Anti Gravity Yoga in the amazing open air bamboo studio overlooking their own rice terraces. Anti Gravity Yoga uses a …

BALI, INDONESIA | FIRST STOP: UBUD

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I am breaking up my Bali posts because there is just so much to write about! I am going to write a post for each resort I stayed at in Bali along with all the activities I did at each. I’m also going to share some information about Ubud in this post. My first stop in Bali was the Ritz Carlton Mandapa Reserve. UBUD The town of Ubud is an hour and a half drive from Bali’s international airport, Denpasar. Ubud represents traditional Bali, you can really feel the authentic Balinese culture. It’s in the uplands and surrounded by rainforest, rice terraces, Hindu temples and shrines– Bali’s most iconic landscapes. Ubud is also known for the center of Balinese crafts and dance. It feels very far removed from the hustle and bustle of the populated town of Kuta and Bali’s beach party scene in Seminyak. It is the ultimate place for serenity and relaxation, and the perfect place to practice yoga and mediation. If visiting a spiritual healer interests you (like the healer Ketut in …

WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT BRUNCH

Published by Nicole Isaacs

A few weeks ago I hosted a women’s empowerment brunch sponsored by Ciroc at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. I was truly honored to be recognized as a woman making power moves.  I think it’s really important for women to come together to support, inspire and motivate one another. I make sure to surround myself with hardworking, independent women that push me to be the best version of me. Everyone at the brunch were women that I look up to that inspire me in some way or another. “I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass”.-  Maya Angelou See the recap of the brunch below:
