What I’m Packing for Our Summer Road Trip: Denver, Colorado

Fashion•Travel•U.S.

Today is the day! My fiancé Joe, Emma and I are taking off on a road trip tonight and traveling to Denver Colorado. First of all, let me just say how excited I am – I have never been to Colorado and I feel like I’m missing out based on raving reviews I’ve heard from several friends and family members! There’s nothing more exciting to me than discovering and exploring a new place. I don’t have to be doing anything particularly that exciting to be happy – just exploring a new place, whether a local brewery or talking to...

Why Traveling Is Important To Me

Fashion•Outfits•Travel

Traveling is one of the most important things to me in this world. That’s why I set a travel budget for myself every year, and feel very anxious if I don’t have my next trip planned. From a very young age, my sisters and I traveled to many places across the United States with my parents. I quickly learned the value of travel and what I could learn from it. Traveling is important to me because it changed me. It permanently changed me, and I will never be the same. I get this indescribable feeling when I’m somewhere new....

When in Texas…

Fashion•Shopping•Travel•U.S.

Hi ya’ll! (I’m allowed to say that after this weekend). This past weekend, I flew to Dallas and joined four other ladies to surprise my best friend! She just got married in July and moved to Texas in June. She had to cancel the bacelorette party we were planning to have at a cabin in Wisconsin, so we wanted to try to surprise her for a girl’s weekend/post-wedding bachelorette party. All I can say is SUCCESS. Here is a bit about our weekend… We flew in late Friday night, and Robin’s husband picked us up from the airport to...

Career•Lifestyle•Travel•U.S.

Well we are already into month eight of 2015, which means I’m a little bit behind in checking in on my 2015 goals, but still important to do! That’s why I wanted to share today – perhaps a little selfish on my end to document my goals publicly so that I feel a bit more pressure to keep up with them. {Move Out of My Comfort Zone More Often} I tell you what – this one has been hard for me to keep track of. I think moving into a new role at a new company has been the biggest...

Kansas City Weekend

Fashion•Food•Lifestyle•Travel•U.S.

This weekend I was so lucky to be able to go visit my little sister in Kansas City. She is there for the summer for her internship, so I had to take advantage of visiting her while she was there. I haven’t seen her since April for Easter, which is a long time for the two of us to go without seeing each other, so I was beyond excited to see her! I decided to fly because I hate driving by myself now (I used to love making road trips by myself), but with over six hours of driving...
