When I lived in Bangkok for 6 months, one of my favourite goals was to work my way through the city’s best luxury seafood buffets. Bangkok is seriously spoiled when it comes to extravagant hotel buffets, from fresh oysters and king crab to lobster, prawns, sushi and beautifully prepared seafood. I put together places that stood out to me most, focusing on high-end hotels, beautiful settings, premium seafood and buffets that are actually worth dressing up and going out for. Whether you’re looking for a romantic riverside dinner, a special occasion meal or simply want to treat yourself to the best seafood buffet Bangkok has to offer, these are the places I’d put at the top of my list.

Blonde hair and tropical travel can be a dangerous combination. Between intense sun, humidity, salty ocean water, chlorine, heat, and constant beach days, my hair can go from soft and shiny to dry, tangled, brassy, and completely unmanageable surprisingly fast. As a digital nomad who spends a lot of time travelling to tropical destinations, I’ve learned that keeping blonde hair looking healthy takes a little extra effort. This is my blonde hair rescue edit — the products I recommend for protecting, repairing, hydrating, detangling, and keeping blonde hair looking fresh while travelling. Think nourishing hair masks, bond-repair treatments, purple products for unwanted brassiness, leave-in protection, heat protection, and everything else that helps rescue blonde hair after too much sun, sea, and pool time. If you’re a blonde who loves beach holidays, tropical destinations, swimming, sunshine, and travelling, this is the haircare checklist worth having in your suitcase. Because tropical hair may be inevitable, but damaged, dull blonde hair doesn’t have to be.

Discover my favorite face sunscreens for wearing under and over makeup, including tinted SPF, lightweight non-greasy sunscreen, mattifying sunscreen, SPF primers, sunscreen powders and SPF setting sprays. These beauty favorites are perfect for creating a fresh, pretty complexion without the heavy, oily or shiny sunscreen feeling. I especially love these makeup-friendly sunscreens for everyday wear, holidays, beach days and tropical travel, with options that help your makeup look smooth while keeping your skin protected.
