Mexico- Ixtapa Zihuatanejo
Mexico has some of the most beautiful places I’ve been to and because I live in southern California, Mexico is an easy trip for me. Not to mention, very affordable! My grandparents, mom’s side, actually live in Mexico in a small town that is adorable (will tell you about it later)- so I’ve traveled with…

Easy Eco Friendly Every Day Life Switches
Let’s go Green! Or at least try our best to. You all have been hearing the urgent calls for change in our lifestyle due to climate change and the huge negative impact all our [plastic] waste has caused on our planet. This conversation is heavy! So heavy I can’t spend too much time thinking or…

My Guac Recipe
Who doesn’t love guacamole? Especially during summer! It’s the perfect snack or side to complete your meal. Plus, pretty sure it’s the law in SoCal to love avocados and guacamole 😉 Give me a margarita & guac and I’m set! There’s really nothing fancy about my guac, but I am specific about two things: avocados…

Packing in a Carry On Only
When I first started traveling as an adult, I would over pack to another level. I mean for a 2 night trip I’d check in a bag and have a carry on. How could I not have options? And what if I wake up and not in the mood to wear my limited outfits? So…

Long Hair, Do Care
My entire life, my hair has been a big part of who I am. I’ve always had long hair, except for that one time in junior high where I thought it would be a good idea to chop my frizzy, curly hair to shoulder length, aka a bob…lesson learned. Overall, I’m blessed with my hair.…

72 Hours in Paris
In case you didn’t know, I live in California; so 72 hours in Paris was quite ambitious. But why tho? Well my very best friend had planned and taken an extended leave from work to travel the world. I was painfully jealous the entire time btw. Her first stop was France; she spent almost two…

Aerial Arts
It’s been 2.5 years since I first started Aerial. I had been planning to write about it for quite some time but now that I actually am, I’m not sure where to start. I guess I will start by saying I walked into my first aerial class with zero previous training of the sort, no…

Would you like a [plastic] bag for the rest of your items?

My answer is NO! I’ll start by saying I do not make grocery store trips often, especially to big chain grocery stores. I get two things from these big chains: coffee creamer and a probiotic my stomach can tolerate. I found myself in need of going to the grocery store- as always, I brought…

Falling in love with Hawaii
I’ve been going to Hawaii every year now for the last 5 years- last year even went twice! But the first time I visited was only 5 years ago. Sure I’d always heard how beautiful it was, blah blah blah. But all that was in my head was “overrated”. Umm how did I even know?…
