'Tis the Season

It's officially the holidays - my absolute favorite time of the year! From the decorations to Christmas shopping and the holiday parties, 'tis the season for laughter and cheer. I created a bucket list of all the things I want to do this December, so feel free to join me for some holiday fun!

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sales

I've actually never been to Black Friday because I've learned quickly that it’s best done at home, in bed, and online. So, I’ve put together a list of the best (and my favorite) online sales going on today and some through the weekend. Happy Shopping!

The idea of comfort is always best on the weekends.

Jackets, boots, and scarves...I'm seriously excited just thinking about it.

Getaway to Catalina Island

It's the Catalina Wine Mixer! It's been years since I've last visited Catalina Island, and to my surprise, I actually loved every bit of it! Catalina Island is one of Southern California's best-kept secret - and the best part: it's just an hour boat ride off the coast from Los Angeles.

7 Days of Happiness

It's really easy to get caught up and often forget what's important in the world. We can all get complacent, take things for granted, and become less motivated through work, fitness or even relationships. Lately, I've been in a little rut, and realized that the easiest way to reach your own happiness is to simply take a moment to breathe and to be thankful. During the week, dedicate some time to creating your own happiness...
