My Top Moments of 2016

Good morning everyone! With the year coming to an end, I thought I would share my top moments of 2016. I had to scroll through my blog and Instagram to remember everything I did and I could just cry at how wonderful of a year I had. I feel so blessed to be in a position where I can be creative, travel the world for work and still have plenty of time to visit with friends and spend time with family. For my top moments, I’m going to start from the beginning of the year and work my way down to December.

I usually never attend those two-week-long vacations with my family, but two weeks with my family can sometimes feel like two weeks too long! LOL However, when they mentioned they were heading to the Dominican Republic, I jumped at the opportunity. See the full post here—>Dominican Republic Vacation Review

I’m not going to lie…Key West was hot. Like really hot! Like I’m not sure if I’ve ever officially cooled down from that trip! Haha! However, it was quite the trip to remember from missing our first flight because we had too much luggage and seeing the smallest airport in the world to trying key lime on a stick and eating fish tacos for every meal. It was the first time Krystal (A Pinch of Lovely) and I had ever been on our together in a place that we’ve never been so we learned a lot that trip and I’ll never forget it!

Getting to show Blake around my favorite city definitely sits at the top of my list! I love NYC so much and go multiple times a year so it was so fun getting to share one of my favorite places with him. Oh and we booked tickets to Italy and Greece this summer so I have a feeling that our upcoming travels together will hit the top of my 2017 list.

Palm Springs Trip Instagram Round Up

Good Morning everyone, I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend. Today, I’m finally sharing a recap of my recent Palm Springs trip for a friend’s bachelorette trip. We stayed in the cutest 70s style home with our own pool and hot tub that comfortably fit all 10 of us. See the house here–> From Palm Springs With Love

My only complaint about the house is that you aren’t allowed to play music outside or the neighbors would complain. Apparently, this isn’t the house rentals that bans outdoor music so make sure you clarify that with the home owner or agency that you book with in Palm Springs!

We stopped by the Saguaro Hotel for drinks and the pool view far exceeded our expectations with its perfectly placed palm trees, colorful state rooms and mountains that sat up against the bluest sky we ever saw! You think I’m exaggerating, but I’m serious. Everything looked and felt so perfect that we almost felt like we were on The Truman Show.  We also went out to the Ace Hotel & Swim Club after dinner one night. Both the Ace and the Saguaro were less than a mile from our house.
