Did you know the first ever Cinnabon was located in Seattle, WA?!  It all started with a father-son duo that was on a mission to create the perfect homemade Cinnamon Roll.  I think it’s safe to say they succeeded.  I am a sucker for “firsts,” especially when it comes to food places as delicious as […]

The past two weeks I have been go-go-go.  From Chicago to Texas to Seattle to Portland, Oregon, my schedule was so jam-packed that I didn’t have time for any bumps in the road, never mind a bad hair day.  Thankfully, I traveled with my Bed Head Products this trip, which helped keep my hair intact […]

I’m not sure if there’s any other person in all of Greater Chicago area that is more excited than me that Norwegian Air is now operating flights to Europe out of Chicago O’Hare.  When I lived in Orlando, I ran the Oslo, Norway half marathon in 2015 and I had found an incredible deal on […]

I have been to Thailand a couple of times, but both trips were far before my days of travel blogging. In 2014 I spent 3 full weeks exploring Thailand and it is still one of my favorite travel experiences. At the time, I had never been to Southeast Asia, so everything about the trip was […]

Happy New Year babes!  Now that we are officially one week into the New Year, I thought I could start recapping some of 2017.  A lot happened in 2017, it was a learning and growing year for me for sure.

This adorableeee little Airbnb on the tiniest, quietest, street right off one of the main roads.  The exposed brick and stone really amplified the quaint, European feel of Old Quebec.  The home was so warm and cozy, while the weather outside was snowy and festive. My absolute favorite part of the house was the outdoorsy […]

I don’t know about you guys, but I had a stigma against White House Black Market for a while.  It’s my mom’s favorite store, so maybe that’s why I thought it wasn’t cool as a teenager/young adult.  But something has changed for me over the past few years.  Either 1) I started realizing my mom […]

I know I asked you guys a while back on my Instagram stories if you wanted to see more luxurious accommodations or affordable accommodations and 70% of you said you would like to see affordable.
