Miami Recap!

Fashion•Lifestyle•Travel•U.S.

I thought it would be good to do a quick recap of my family trip to Miami! I was very fortunate to be able to join my parents and two sisters for a week-long family vacation (we haven’t had one in years).

When I made it...

Golden Gate Travels

Travel•U.S.

So this is my second post about traveling, my first was about my trip to visit my older sister in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, but from now on it will be about recent trips AND about places I’ve been in the past few years. I would love to travel somewhere new every week or every other week for that matter to share the joys of my travels and things  to do in these places, but it just isn’t in my budget right now (and since I just started my new job last August I don’t have a lot of...
