There are very few times I leave the house without my “essentials” stocked in my bag.  My fiancé always says it’s like I’m packing for a zombie apocalypse, but what can I say, I like to be prepared! Yes, some items may be a liiitle bit excessive (i.e., first-aid kit) but everything has a purpose and has been needed at … Read More

As you may have seen on the ‘gram, I went to Miraval in Arizona this past weekend for a little getaway! It’s been a busy couple of months and I was craving a vacation to relax, unwind, and unplug (sort of). Miraval was just the place I had in mind. Beyond its breathtaking views and unbelievable accommodations, Miraval is truly … Read More

I can’t believe July 4th is almost here! The 4th is always so bittersweet because, on one hand, it is the kickoff to summer, but on the other hand, summer goes by so quickly once it’s over!  That being said, it’s one of my absolute favorite holidays.

It still feels like yesterday (although my body doesn’t feel the same). This time around, I wanted to see the sites I never got to see in 2008: the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer … Read More

Summer is quickly approaching…T-13 days, to be exact! Every year, right around this time, I get this urge (no doubt due to the countless headlines I scroll through every day) to “get summer ready.” It’s like, for some reason, health, wellness, and self-care suddenly become mainstream and top of everyone’s mind. And, although I try to keep all of these … Read More
