It all started with an Instagram post — well, for me at least. I remember specifically being in Riva’s (celebrating something?) and someone at the table mentioned Yacht Week. I felt dumb. Was this a reality show? Or….what? I am not used to being out of the loop on pop culture. The first picture was … Continue reading
Bathing suits, shorts and lightweight dresses, right — that’s all a girl needs on a beach vacation abroad, right? Sorta. For months (and months and months) my friends and I had planned our The Yacht Week adventure (read the recap post!), but packing was low on the radar of things I was worried about. Last fall, … Continue reading
If you’re friends with me on any form of social media, you’ll know that I have a not-so-secret crush on Croatia. Signing up for The Yacht Week and then spending an extra week in the country to explore has got to be one of my best travel decisions to date–and lawd knows I’ve done a … Continue reading
Planning a girls weekend getaway? Might we suggest Vegas, New Orleans, Austin, The Woodlands. If you’re skeptical, I hear you.

It’s reeeeeally important to not mess up Mother’s Day. It should, for most of you, be the most important day for your mom. At the very least, your mom carried your infant butt around for nine months and, to top that all of, raised you for another 18 YEARS! She deserves some major kudos on … Continue reading
After spending many weeks in many different towns in Germany (read adventures here!!) over the past few months, I’ve come to fully appreciate just how German Houston is. You might not realize it at first, but when you go abroad and then come back you notice just how international of a city we are and how … Continue reading
This past weekend I took a girl’s trip to the arguably the biggest bachelorette capital of the US–Nashville, Tennessee. Ironically, I wasn’t going for any wedding related activities and instead of donning matching “bride squad” t-shirts, I was accompanied by my mom for a spontaneous weekend trip to visit her sister. With a bit of … Continue reading
