Travel Essentials

Ok, elephant in the room. It's been a WAY too long since I've posted! I truly think about posting every day, but life has become pretty interesting; with wedding planning, trying to get promoted at work, and Spanish class (Jon insists I take a class to learn Spanish. It's really improved my Italian...more on that later), finding time to post has become far and few between. No more excuses! I've missed you and I'm glad you are still here!
Let's talk about fashion, traveling and how to merge the two. Since I'll be traveling to Europe for my wedding/honeymoon/vacation, I would be lying if I didn't say that I wasn't worried about what I will be packing. Let's hope that Jon is the amazing fiancé that I know he is, and will let me use at least 3/4 of his suitcase for my overflow. I have been on a serious hunt for some new items that I have considered a must-have for our trip. I am sure the list will grow, but for now, I hope these items become your travel essentials as well.

I'm obsessed withe this fedora. Perfect for at the beach or in the city.

These polarized Ray-Ban's are my go to.

I need a cute pair of sneakers for getting lost in Italian cities.

This passport case is easy to find in my giant carry-on tote.

The perfect little camera bag that doesn't look like one.

This tripod allows us to take our own photos instead of asking random people.

Superbowl Bites

Even though I played sports in high school and I like to watch sporting events, I don't follow sports teams too closely. However, I have many fond memories growing up watching football games on Sunday and Monday nights in front of a crackling fire and snacking on mom's appetizers. So to me, watching the Superbowl is about being with friends, eating some comfort food, and yelling at the guys who get paid millions of dollars a year to catch a pigskin. My sister is hosting a Superbowl party this year and in order to keep her sanity, it's potluck style. Here are some of the bites I'm thinking about bringing. Mini Pretzel Dogs Parmesan Wasabi Edamame Zucchini Ricotta Fritters Oreo Truffle Cookies

#stayhome

I look at this photo and it seems ages ago. I took it while laying in the sun on a hotel rooftop in Miami. In reality, it was only taken 3 weeks ago today almost to the minute. Since then, a pandemic has taken this world by storm. Mother Nature is shouting from the rooftops and people are being forced to listen. We are being told to stay home, don't leave the house unless necessary, and practice social distancing. Such a funny term: social distancing. What will this do to human connection? To human culture? Behavior? Our future perspective in this world is about to go through a massive shift. "Are you ready for this," Mother Nature asks? I sure wasn't. I have been learning so much about myself in the past 2 weeks. How does one react in vastly unknown and uncertain times? I am no longer in a rush to do things. It's strange, I never felt that hurried before but now there is ample time to focus on things I didn't spend that much time on before. Connectin...

The Game of Life

Christmas day games What the heck is going on?! I’m posting once a month?! (insert bug eyes and crazy eyebrows here) To all of those still checking and looking for my posts, I thank you for staying with me through some really busy times. Here is what’s going on…. Jon and I bought a condo! Yay!!! It all happened so fast (we closed a month after we initially saw the place) and then we went to Utah for Thanksgiving and then the holiday season began full force. Normally, I would be sharing photos, DIY projects that we are working on, and even updates throughout the space. Sadly, none of those things are happening because we haven’t done any. I’m lucky I got a Christmas tree up! As much as I LOVE the Christmas season, I am also looking forward for it to be over so I can paint, drill, make, repaint, etc. Even though the place isn’t how we are dreaming it to be one day, it’s a lovely space for Jon and I. It has a real wood burning fi...
