18 months late, but my NEW Charleston Travel Guide 18 months late, but my NEW Charleston Travel Guide is LIVE 💙☀️ & thankfully I’m just as obsessed with these photos now as I was in September 2021!

Every corner of Charleston is picture perfect, but this spot was one of my favorites from this trip 😍

Also I promise to never let this happen again for future trips 🤪 (Folly Beach & Salem coming soon!)

The temperatures were dropping this weekend so @breakfastatetiffany @simplybysimone and I headed up to Foxwoods for a Winter Girls Getaway to escape the cold ❄️

When we visited last Summer we kept saying we COULDN’T WAIT to come back in the Winter because everything you need for the perfect girls weekend - restaurants, bars, fun activities, THE SPA - are all under one roof and you don’t need to step foot outside! So we packed up and headed to Connecticut for the first cold weekend of 2023 and it didn’t disappoint!

My perfect favorites from the weekend were…
🧖🏼‍♀️Massages at @gspaatfoxwoods
🏮Dinner at @redlanternct
⛸️Ice Skating at the Winter Terrace

…but everything we did was so much fun and as always I can’t wait to go back! PS if you’re looking to book a trip NOW is the time! Book your hotel stay by March 10th to receive 20% off deluxe hotel room stays now through April 30 OR 30% off between May 1 and July 31!!

2013 Resolutions

Lets be serious whoever’s resolution is “Exercise more,” “Lose weight,” blah blah blah will more than likely by February 1st turn to the dark side and forget they even made a resolution. This year I want to concentrate on the little things I know I can stick with rather than these broad goals that I’m sure I’ll forget.
All my Instagram followers got to see these already ((another reason why you should me following me there!)), but here they are my 2013 Resolutions! & I’ll be sure to keep you updated throughout the year on how well I’m sticking to them!

Resolution #1: Wear red lipstick more often!
Currently wearing mark.’s Make It Rich Lip Crayon in Hot Sauce!
I love the way red lipstick looks on other people, but when I put it on myself I often wipe it off before I even leave the house. These red lips deserve to see more than just the inside of my house!
Resolution #1: Wear red lipstick more often! Currently wearing @mark_girl Make It Rich Lip Crayon in Hot Sauce!
Resolution #2: Bring lunch to work from home instead of going out or ordering!
I used to NEVER bring lunch from home, literally never & I have no excuse! I guess I can say it was because I was always running late in the morning and I was just trying to get ready & get out the door as fast as possible. But I wasted SO much money going out to get lunch pretty much everyday! This is a resolution I need to stick to!! I could be going on a full blown vacation with all the money I can save doing this!
Resolution #2: Bring lunch to work from home instead of going out or ordering!
Resolution #3: Take better care of my skin. 
I’m not only talking about the skin on my face, I’m talking about my whole body. I often neglect moisturizing my body in the winter because I lets face it I’m lazy & I know no one is going to see my legs, but its the time of the year when my skin needs it the most! Products I’m currently loving: Udderly Smooth Udder Cream (I’ve received a lot of questions about this! Its actually for cow udders but they sell it in most drugstores. I can use it on super dry skin like my feet, elbows & knees especially in the winter), mark. For Goodness Face Antioxidant Skin Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30, Garnier Skin Renew Radiance Moisture Cream, mark. Hand It Over Super Moisture Hand Cream in Lemon Sugar (I literally don’t leave home without this in my bag) & Glam Glow Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask.
Resolution #3: Take better care of my skin.Sticking with my New Year's Resolution to take better care of my skin by using this Glam Glow Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask!
Resolution #4: Care more about what I’m eating.
I’m lactose intolerant, I have a gluten sensitivity & I just found out I have acid reflux, so my “do not eat” list is a mile long! I’m usually really careful and aware of what I eat, but I let things slip a little more than I’d like to admit over the holidays. I just need to get back on track. ((Caffeine I’ll miss you!))
Resolution #4: Care more about what I'm eating. I'm lactose intolerant, I have a gluten sensitivity & I just found out I have acid reflux, so my "do not eat" list is huge!! I'm usually really careful about what I eat but I let things slip a little more th

    I think those are some good resolutions you can really stick to!
    I love wearing red lips, but usually only do so in the fall/winter. My old lip exotics in fever is my go-to. Such a nice opaque gloss!

    I know the feeling…I sat down to redo my budget for 2013. Forget lunch, that harmless, or so I thought, daily coffee of $1.64 is costing me $430 a year…. Almost a pair of Jimmy Choos.

After 3 long years I finally made it back to the West Coast & of course couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stay in @theramblermotel in Chula Vista, CA. 

And I’m a sucker for colorful, kitschy hotel with a really good coffee shop in the lobby (that happens to be an arcade) so staying here was a no brainer for me 🌈
