All in Lifestyle
Fred and I were finally able to take a trip that we have been planning for a few years now. He was born and raised in Kenya but doesnât get many chances to go back and visit his home country. This was not only my first time to Kenya, but to the African continent. I am so excited to share the details of this trip because I know so many of you have also wanted to go on an African safari and check it off your bucket list as well.
One of my best friends got married in the Dominican Republic back in February and I wanted to share a few details of our trip. We flew into Puerto Plata (POP) on Wednesday and got settled into our resort - Iberostar Costa Dorada. Fred and I booked an ocean view room and it was perfect for our short stay.
Now that we are finally seeing light at the end of this extremely long pandemic tunnel travel has picked up significantly (domestic & international), I thought it would be fun share my must haves items that I never travel without. Sometimes I feel like Iâm Mary Poppins because of all the things I carry, but I will say my friends, family & fiancĂ© love me for it because I always have anything they might need while traveling.
Weâre married!! Fred and I tied the knot on February 18, 2022 in an intimate wedding in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was truly a magical day that we will cherish forever surrounded by our family and closest friends! I am so excited to share some of our wedding photos with you here on my blog. Looking back at these photos fills my heart with so much warmth and joy and I really hope you enjoy them.
Over the last few years Iâve tried to implement more sustainable items into my everyday life. These are some easy changes you can make that will not only save you money in the long run, but also help save our planet.
I wasnât sure that I wanted to make a post dedicated to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year but I had a few close girlfriends ask me about what I thought of this years sale. Although this post wonât be quite as detailed as last years I did want to share whatâs on my wish list that iâm hoping to purchase when I can shop the sale this Friday - July 16.
Summer is just around the corner so I thought now would be a perfect time to share with yâall my must have basic bodysuits. They are basically onesies for adults (especially if you get the snap bottom ones) but I love them because they are so versatile. Iâll show yâall several ways to style them whether you want a super casual look, or want to dress it up! I also wanted to let yâall know that both of the stores I will be sharing will be part of the LIKEtoKNOW.it sale that is happening this weekend.
Back in October I made a post about being furloughed as a flight attendant and what would come next for me so I wanted to take a moment to update you all with what has changed since then in my professional and personal life.
Motherâs Day is just around the corner - next Sunday, May 9th to be exact. Ive gotten a lot of great feedback from previous gift guides Iâve posted so I thought why not post one for Mom? Whether you just want to get her something small but sentimental like a birthstone necklace/bracelet or you want to really spoil her with all the cozy things like a new robe, slippers & comfy blanket Iâve got yâall covered!
The Sephora spring sale is officially here yâall! This sale only happens twice a year - in the Spring and around the winter holidays. Whether you just want to stock up on holy grail items you know you love and will continue to use or maybe splurge on a higher ticket item(like a new perfume) this is a great time to shop at a discounted price! If youâre not already a Sephora member you can sign up at checkout and receive 10% off your total purchase.
At the beginning of each year, we usually find ourselves making a list of resolutions or goals we want to accomplish - one of the most common goals being our physical health. Whether you put on unwanted pounds during the holidays or just want to feel better about your overall health/appearance, getting yourself on a consistent routine can sometimes be the hardest part. Even I am guilty of falling off track within a few weeks/months into the year. Something that has helped me feel more motivated are good staple athleisure items in my closet. As the saying goes âWhen you look good, you feel good and when you feel good you do good!â
First and foremost I would like to say Happy New Year, yâall!! Can you believe that 2020 is finally over? It was such a whirlwind of a year, am I right? Honestly, it is bizarre to me that the last year drag on but somehow flew by at the same time, however, I am happy to welcome 2021!
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all of your support during 2020. Whether you are a new subscriber, or have been here since the beginning, I truly appreciate all of you! When I originally began my blog back in 2019, I thought the majority of my content would be centered around travel, but obviously COVID had a severe impact on our travel plans last year. Although I wasnât able to put out as much travel content as I wouldâve liked, it was fun to post more style related posts as I have a true passion for fashion!
On my Instagram this week, I asked my followers to help me compile a list of their favorite small or local businesses that we could support this Holiday Season. Unlike major corporations, small businesses rely on purchases from every single customer to help keep them running. Since so many small businesses are hurting because of the Pandemic this year, I thought I could do a round up with the ones that I personally love, as well as the ones that were recommended by you guys!!
Hi friends!! I hope that you are all having a wonderful week thus far. Since this pandemic is still in full force I have a feeling there will be a lot more online shopping than in store this year, and also with all the shipping delays I thought this would be a good time to share with you all some gift guides that I put together & could be helpful for anyone who will be shopping the sales of Black Friday/Cyber Monday. However, if you wont be shopping quite yet, you can still use this post to refer to when you are ready to do any holiday shopping for your friends/loved ones (or even yourself).
If youâve ever stepped foot into my home thereâs about a 90% chance I had at least one candle burning at any given moment. I have been an avid candle lover for as long as I can remember. Not only do they make your space smell great, but they are inviting & cozy! With the winter months upon us I know most of us will be spending more time indoors so I thought this would be the perfect time to share some tips you may not already be doing to ensure you get the best life out of your candles.
Throughout the last few months I have noticed that my mental heath has been taking a toll on my overall mood and motivation. With all that is going on in the world amid this pandemic, being furloughed from my job, putting on a few extra pounds due to poor eating and not working out as often, I just havenât felt good about myself lately. I decided to put together a list that not only can help hold myself accountable, but will also hopefully help anyone else that may be struggling with their own mental health.
As some of you may already know, I am a flight attendant for a major US airline. The pandemic has had a severely negative impact on the aviation industry and during the first week of September I was informed that I will be furloughed from my job as of October 3rd. This news was devastating to me because this career has been my dream job since I was hired back in 2013.
Cue âIts the most wonderful time of the yearâ⊠Ok, maybe that is a little dramatic, however, this is one of the most anticipated sales of the year, because yâall - ITâS THAT GOOD! Although I have shopped this sale for years, this is the first year that Iâm doing a full in depth post here on my blog to help you navigate the sale, whether youâre a long time Nordstrom shopper, or this may be your first experience!
Hey guys!! I know itâs been awhile since youâve heard from me and to be honest, Iâve been wanting to post but have just been lacking the motivation. Itâs a weird time weâre all in right now amid this Coronavirus Pandemic. I hope you are all staying safe and healthy! I wanted to share some of the items Iâve been loving from Amazon that have made my life a little easier during the past few months of Quarantine.
In July this year I celebrated my 30th birthday. With the new decade upon us (2020), I wanted to reflect on what the previous decade of my life has taught me. I can honestly say that I have grown more in the last 10 years than I could have ever imagined, and truly believe that my 30âs will be the best decade yet! With that being said, here is a list of 30 things that my twenties taught me:
