It's time to tell you about my ultimate favorite stay in Puerto Vallarta. You guys know from my Instagram that Puerto Vallarta trip was one of my favorites this year, not only due to the people I met, the variety of activities we did, but also for the perfect hotel, where we stayed - Casa Velas. Casa Velas is an exclusive adults only all inclusive resort in Mexico's Pacific Riviera, awarded 4 stars by Forbes Travel Guide and a member of Small Luxury Hotel Group. It has been in the top 5 on Trip Advisor for Puerto Vallarta since 2010! It feels like you are living in a tropical oasis with onsite golf course, luxurious swimming pool and organic garden. The pool is never crowded, somehow it feels that that you are visiting family or friends. Dining on site is fantastic, and room service food is equally as incredible. But if all of the above is not enough luxury for you, you can head out to a private beach club which is located 2 minutes away from the hotel. It features a pool, a jacuzzi, full-bar service and fine dining restaurant.

It's been over three months since I came back from Bali, yet I am frequently going back to my epic trip in memories, and my mind takes me to Jimbaran in particular, which was the last stop of my Bali adventures. I am sure, it has a lot to do with the hotel, where I stayed - Kayumanis Private Estate and Spa. It’s a high end property with massive private villas and excellent customer service, that is beyond any other I have ever experienced. As mentioned, it was my last stop in Bali, so I was already pretty exhausted from moving around and having explored Canggu, Ubud, Seminyak and Gili Islands. I wanted a quiet place to relax and recharge before returning to my hectic lifestyle in the USA, and Kayumanis exceeded my expectations in that matter.

I stayed in a private 1 bedroom villa, that consisted of a separate bedroom with an outdoor bathroom (a dream!), open plan living and kitchen area, a separate personal spa room and a huge private pool. Beyond the excellent customer service, guests enjoy a personal 24 hour butler, daily high tea, a complimentary bike service,and a shuttle service to anywhere in Jimbaran/Nusa Dua area. Hotel stuff feel like old freinds, they have many stories to share and are always happy to assist. Every single one of your needs is met and exceeded to make sure you feel comfortable and welcome. 

I have always wanted to try out those magic Sneaky Vaunt push up bras everyone is raving about. I personally tried a few brands in the past, and wasn't too impressed. Sneaky Vaunt is different though. I love that their bra is thinner and feels so soft to touch, it sticks to the body so tight, that it looks perfect underneath the clothes. I also love that it amps up cleavage without making it look fake.
I have been dreaming to wear my tight body hugging velvet dress, but could never do it without a proper bra and shapewear (every girl could benefit from it when wearing a tight dress ;)). Sneaky Vaunt's shapewear feels particularly pleasing as the material is soft. It shaped my body perfectly without feeling too tight. It gave me so much confidence to wear that dress, that has been hanging in my closet for months. Can't wait to wear it more and more with all sorts of sexy looks I was hesitating to wear in the past!
