How to Pack from Bed

- Collaborators, Lifestyle

I travel a lot.  In the last five months alone I’ve been to four different countries and 15 different cities around the world.  One thing I’ve learned, is that planning ahead can make a huge difference between a good trip and a great trip, and this includes packing correctly.  But who has time to itemize their suitcase?  Not only do I travel, but I still have a full-time job and my blog is an official LLC so I’m a business…

Gone Fishing at MGM National Harbor

- Lifestyle

This year I really struggled with what I wanted to do to bring in the new year. It was a toss between celebrating and sleeping and up until 9:00 that morning, sleeping was in the lead.

Fish was having a New Year’s Eve Gala with five courses, live music, fireworks and a champagne toast…

Let me start by saying she didn’t ask…

The Magic of Mykonos – What to See, Where to Eat, and Instagram Photo Spots

- Lifestyle

Mykonos was the first of the Cyclades islands we visited when we went to Greece and it was definitely unique by comparison.  Think, quiet but glamorous fishing village by day and Pleasure Island from Pinocchio by night.  During the on-season, this town is known for it’s partying 25 hours a day, 8 days a week.  Since we went during off-season, we didn’t have to step over any drunk party-goers in the street or fight for a table to admire the…

10 Things To Know Before You Go to Greece

- Lifestyle

My Mom and I just got back from our Mother-Daughter Greece trip and it was definitely one we’ll both remember forever.  Not only because Greece is actual paradise, but also because we went just the two of us.  We went during non-tourist season when the weather is still beautiful but we aren’t so overwhelmed with crowds and crazy hot temperatures to be able to enjoy it.

Genesis G80 Sport – Style Beyond Your Closet

- Collaborators, Lifestyle

When I was first approached to try out the 2018 Genesis G80 Sport I already knew this was going to be a really fun collaboration.  The holidays made it the perfect time of year to travel and visit family, plus my two-door car doesn’t have much space for holiday shopping. What I didn’t know, was just how stylish this car really was until it was delivered.  I’m not a car salesman.  I couldn’t tell you the difference between powertrain technology…
