That was one of the most memorable meals I've ever had
- Come back, come back, come back!
- It's running down my back!
- Dada, come, come!
Birthday!
- I saw this idea on the Beckham documentary
David Beckham has a clothing rack
where he organises his outfits for the week
and I thought it was such a good idea
So I put it into practice... some weeks when things are busier
and I'm finding it especially useful right now while I'm packing
so that I don't overpack
This is for one of our nice dinners
Just got to figure out the underwear situation
with some big earrings and strappy heels
And I think either this brown bag or this black bag
I'll wear this to the pool, do a white basket bag
and then maybe these sunglasses
and I'll just bring a white t shirt to wear it to lunch
or inside the kid's playroom or whatever
This is another option
I think it's too much
I like being a little bit too much on vacation
because it's a time where I feel more relaxed I like being a little bit too much on vacation
because it's a time where I feel more relaxed
and confident and adventurous
So I like to try new things and get out of my comfort zone
and experiment with my style
I also feel like I'm not going to run into anyone I know
so even if it's a complete mess, it doesn't matter
But, um... I don't feel confident walking around in this
I feel like there's two types of people on vacation
People like me who like to experiment
and make it almost like a fashion show
and then people like my husband
who like to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible
So he packs pretty much all comfy clothes...
sweatpants, his Crocs
He wants to do as little as possible
where I want to do the most
We are heading to Bali
We're doing a weekend family trip for Levi's second birthday
and it's gonna be my very first time there
I'm bringing the outfits
This is going to be my carry on bag
I've got this card
We started a tradition last year
where we write a birthday card
on the night of Levi's birthday every year
And then when he's 18
we're gonna give him all his cards that we wrote
Got a portable light
this is me without it
this is my skin with it
It makes a huge difference
especially when you're doing shoots when it's darker
I'm bringing an iPad for Levi's inflight entertainment
and also for our entertainment at night
because we're sleeping in one room
So we will all go to bed at 8pm
And then Tom and I will probably sneak out to the balcony
and watch a TV series or a movie or something like that
On that note, another thing
that I have meticulously prepared
is protection for myself online
and access to the shows that we want
All thanks to ExpressVPN
an app that has been a big part of my life
for the past two years
ExpressVPN keeps my online data safe and secure
which is especially important when I'm travelling
because my passwords, credit card details
and personal information are all at risk
since I'm using public Wi Fi at airports,
hotels and random cafes
I just keep ExpressVPN turned on
and I have a major peace of mind
knowing that my data is 100% protected
by one of their secure servers
ExpressVPN also lets me change my online location
so I can get access to thousands of additional geolocked titles
on streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+
For example The Office which is my go-to feel good series
after a long day is not available in Hong Kong or Indonesia
But with a click of a button, we are off to Argentina

Okay, now
- (laughing)
- Welcome to Bali! - Thank you!
- It's our first time in Bali - First time in Bali? - Yeah
- Wahhh! - Blue! - Levi!
and roses! OMG!
Master Levi!
(laughing)
- We made it to Bali, it is hot here!
So far really good impression
I did the dumbest thing
I dropped my passport in the middle of the airport
didn't even notice, so I kept walking out
and someone came running and gave it back to me
Someone's watching over me because...
like that could have been so bad
I would have been at the Canadian Embassy
and not been able to fly back
and our whole trip would have been ruined
But! Got my passport
Thanks to a very kind man
We're at Four Seasons
I chose this hotel because it has really great kids' programmes
It has a kids' playground
It has activities every hour all day
The room layout is super nice
Every villa has its own private pool
Can't wait to witness a sunset here
I want to eat this dessert
- Now I want to stay ten days
- Yeah, can we extend?
Mmm! I have no idea what's inside of this
This is so good
Oh! Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, first things first, remove all the breakables
Okay, let's unpack!
- We can shower outside too. - Oh, yeah,
It's good for after the pool, to rinse off the chlorine
- It's like you're closer to the nature
- Oh my gosh! They have a sterilising machine
so I can put Levi's sippy cups and stuff inside
Perfect!
- Happy Birthday, Levi! - Cheers, cheers! - Happy Birthday!
Mmmm, yummy!
Breakfast has arrived
Oh my goodness! That's the acai bowl!
The acai bowl is inside of the coconut
Look at this fruit plate, oh
This is their Japanese breakfast
We just came down to the pool/beach area
after playing in their kids playhouse which was so nice
They have this outdoor pool, outdoor slide
and then they have all these indoor activities
and the staff there really come and play with the kids
and to have fun with them
We just came here to go for a little swim
order some lunch
Coconut! - Dada!
- and take in the view
Hi! - Hi! - Hello!
- Should he sit here?
- Good job!
- Yummy? - Yummy? Not sure yet
Oh, it's good!
Oh, it's lemongrass!
Wow, so flavourful!
- (singing) Happy birthday to you!
- Woooo! (clapping)
- Come back, come back, come back!
- Good morning!
Birthday boy!
The stories this boy has now
This age is so fun
They're so full of imagination and curiosity
Love it
Just woke up
Slept pretty good
Levi woke up a couple of times from 5:30 onwards
and now at seven
but he went to bed at 8 and we went to bed at 9:30
So early... it was raining but it was so comforting
because the rain was hitting the roof and you could hear it
Coffee!
- Mama! - Yeah! - Mama! - Yeah! - Jump!
- And then?
- That one! Get it
Mama, jump!
- Right here? - Puddle!
Feet
- Okay... here?
- Right there
- Dada, Levi and Mama feet?
- More puddle!
- One, two, three!
Today is Levi's actual birthday
although we've been celebrating it
for the past three days now
We woke up, had breakfast
did a little swim in our room
Oh, last night's dinner
I want to recap about that
because that was one of the most
memorable meals I've ever had
We were on the way back in the buggy
and Levi was passing out so we had to quickly
get him cleaned up, get him to bed
There was a group of women cooking for us
in this open kitchen so you could go up
you could look at ingredients
you could touch them, you could ask questions
they tell you all about their food
and what they're doing and where it's sourced from
It's such an amazing experience for all of the senses
Balinese food is unreal
it's herby, it's slightly spicy, it's very savoury
it's creamy because there's a lot of coconut used
The herbs and spices are so powerful
but they're not spicy
They're like, complicated
My mouth feels like it's having fun
Everything's so interesting
and the atmosphere was so nice and cosy
It felt like home
The girls would come and take Levi around
It was storming, we were having a glass of wine
It's just an unreal night
Now we're gonna head down to the kids' play house
They have a painting class
and then we're gonna go to the beach
So the beach is a little dirty right now
I'm guessing it's because it was raining season
so a lot of the trash and stuff came in
and they're still transitioning into
their actual busy dry season
Going to go for a little swim, grab lunch
probably get some coconuts
and just enjoy the sunny afternoon
We finally have a sunny day!
Lunch is here!
Mediterranean pizza
Charcoal chicken again, we love that
This is their salmon bowl
This is the kids' bento box
Levi's having chicken fried rice with chicken satay
- Chicken! Yummy! - Yeah, you love that!
- Mama, sit! Mama, sit!
- OK! - Mama dooooo, mamamama...
- Okay, mama coming!
- Photo? - Uhhh, sure!
- Maamaaaamaaa!!!
- Cheers!
- Dada! Come, come!
Birthday!
Dada, come, come!
- Happy birthday to Levi!
- Yay!
Just got ready for dinner
This is the look
I'm rocking a slicked back bun this whole trip
because I've been swimming
and having the best time ever
and I just haven't wanted to do my hair at all
so this is the easiest thing
All I need to do is throw on some bold earrings
and some red lipstick and I'm ready to go
Let's go to dinner!
It's running down my back!
- Step! - Step!
Okay! Let's go!
- How are you today? - Good, very good!
- Ahh, bad weather - Yeah... - Just like yesterday
- Could I please order breakfast?
Yes, um, one Japanese breakfast
and then the eggs any style...
could I please do poached eggs
Could I get a side of some tomato and avocado slices
Also a side of your chicken sausage please
Okay, should we put that one in this pouch? Okay
Go on fei gei? (plane in Cantonese) Go on fei gei!
The airport is madness today!
