Travel: The Bubble, Iceland
Iceland was already on my travel bucket list but after seeing Brandi Cyrus’post on my Instagram the other week (which then for obvious reasons, made it onto my Saved page) – The Bubble in the Golden Circle ticks all the wilderness boxes. The 5 Million Star Hotel, where their motto is ‘let your childhood dream of sleeping in nature become reality.’Perhaps Santa will put some travel money under the tree this year…
Book: Michelle Obama – Becoming
Michelle Obama who is a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, starting her career in the legal area then the Chicago Mayor’s office had her own accomplishments before becoming the First Lady of the US in 2009. Michelle speaks on a deeply-personal level in Becomingabout how being the First Family sometimes came with unusual challenges and privileges and of course, about Barack running for Presidency. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s the power of using your voice. I tried as often as I could to speak the truth and shed light on the stories of people who are often brushed aside.”
