Pregnancy Must-Haves

Pregnancy Must-Haves

I’m writing this about 4 months postpartum and thought it would be helpful to share some of my things that helped me survive my pregnancy. Those 9 months really restricted my travels but were obviously completely worth it. 😊 Full disclosure: I had an incredibly easy pregnancy, with the worst being some mild sciatica pain and swelling. However, there were definitely favorite outfit pieces and goodies that made it even more comfortable. My overall favorite site for buying pregnancy related…

Best Beauty Products to Travel With!

Best Beauty Products to Travel With!

Updated: 12/12/2019: I typically wear a full face of make-up but when I’m traveling, I don’t want to spend my time putting on make-up and some climates are not very conducive to make-up (think hot, sandy beaches). However, I still need to feel like I don’t look like a hot mess when I take a million selfies with my husband. So below are my personal favorites for quickish, all weather, minimal tools, easy to apply make-up. Foundation: 1. Milani Conceal…

Italy 2 Week Itinerary

Italy 2 Week Itinerary

Italy. I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful country. This (approximately) 2-week itinerary is my best curated trip to date! It had just enough planning to make sure we had a place to stay most nights but enough spontaneity to let us be flexible as we traveled about the country. I always want to be spontaneous on trips and decide when we get to a location how long we will stay but I also always want to make…

Cinque Terre Best Things to Do

Cinque Terre Best Things to Do

Cinque Terre is actually the name of the cluster of 5 northern sea coastal towns in Italy. In March 2018, we visited all 5 of these towns on our 2-week Italian adventure. Visiting these towns at this time of year was almost perfect, weather wise it was a little chilly but there were virtually NO tourists. I will take crappier weather over crowded streets any day! The five towns that make up the Cinque Terre are: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza,…

NYC First Timer’s To Do List

NYC First Timer’s To Do List

New York City Favorites Things To Eat, Drink, and Do for First Timers! NYC is one of our favorite big cities, definitely our favorite in America! We did stay with friends who live a bit outside of Manhattan so we don’t have any hotel recommendations unfortunately. However, we did get VERY familiar with the train system commuting from my friend’s apartment to the City. New York City has so many options that you probably can’t go wrong no matter where…

Charleston, SC Must – Dos!

Charleston, SC Must – Dos!

Charleston, South Carolina…there are not enough words to describe how amazing this city is. And I experienced this one solo (first ever solo trip)! The people in Charleston and the south in general really are the nicest humans. I came alone but was not alone for most of the trip. I will preface that I didn’t have a car on this adventure, so keep in mind that there are many things to do within a 30 minute drive which I…

Must have travel items

Must have travel items

Besides the obvious clothing and toiletries, I’ve found in my years of traveling some items that are automatically in my backpack (more about that later). You have probably thought of some of these but in my experience, they are so crucial I had to share my must have travel items! Makeup wipes: Anytime you can reduce the amount of liquid you bring on a trip, the better. Even if you are checking your bag, less liquids mean less chance of…

Rome 4 Day Itinerary

Rome 4 Day Itinerary

Rome has been a city that was at the top of my bucket list for most of my adult life; the history, the beauty, the architecture, the religion, and all the things this city has to offer now. Everyone has their opinions about Rome. I’ve heard it is the most dangerous, pick-pocketey city, the food is not good and it is overrated. I disagree with all of those things!! I had a place to stay in Rome for the first…
