I wish I was one of those women who didn't wear makeup, who grew out of wearing winged eyeliner, and didn't desire to sport a red lipstick on a Saturday night. Unfortunately, I'll be the first to admit that even a traveling schedule can't shake my hardcore beauty obsession. Now that my current makeup collection consists of more travel-sized products, I became more selective with what I carry with me on my trips. Currently, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale beauty items have amazing discounts, and I ...
The Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Items for the Stylish Jetsetter
Thank you to Lili Alessandra for sponsoring the giveaway included in this post. To be completely honest, my love for shopping has dwindled every year since I started blogging. As much as I love fashion, the thought of splurging on a new pair of shoes doesn't satisfy me as much as a trip to Tulum. The increasing influence of choosing experiences over material items has drastically changed on the amount of times I shop in a year. However, when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins, I ...
The Inside Look of Royal Sonesta Houston
This blog post is in sponsorship with Royal Sonesta Houston. All opinions are my own. The secret to "living large" in Houston is to stay at a fancy schmancy hotel, they say. Sounds simple, right?

With sites like Yelp and Trip Advisor, online food reviews have made the internet become the forefront source of whether customers are willing to come to the door. Now that there's a plethora of new ...
The Quick Solo Travel Guide to Anaheim, CA
When you first hear about Anaheim, you're probably thinking about Disneyland and the millions of crowded young families walking across W Katella Ave. This was what I experienced firsthand when I stayed in Anaheim the first few days during my time in California. I remembered vulnerably sharing on my Instagram Stories how much I felt out of place from the children and parents around me as I was dining out in the evenings and walking alone from my hotel. While there's nothing wrong with traveling ...
The Pretty Spots From Venice to Santa Monica: Travel Guide
A trip to Los Angeles will never leave you empty handed when it comes to the endless adventures from each neighborhood; it surely did not disappoint when I arrived in Venice. The small, boho beach town that's along the west coast of LA is nothing short of beautiful the moment I checked-in at my hotel, and I was excited to finally explore the far west side of Los Angeles. Away from the "Hollywood" glitz and glamour scene, Venice contrasted the ideals of LA with my initial impressions of it being ...
