HELLO FROM HONOLULU

Life has been pretty busy with travel in 2019, and it’s the reason I’ve been a little MIA. The good news is, with my absence comes a lot of new content and today it’s from my home away from home, Hawaii! It took me a couple of weeks to finally get through all of the footage from the islands. It’s always so hard for me to pick and choose what to eliminate! Ahhhh! But it’s finally complete.

72 HOURS IN DUBAI

This city is more than I could have ever dreamed! It is by far one of the largest and most impressive works of art in terms of buildings, city scapes, manicured gardens, cleanliness and respect.

NEW YEAR, NEW SECRET RESOLUTIONS REVEALED

I had no intention of writing a post about all of my goals for this year, but something came over me while watching ‘The Bachelor’ last night (maybe because I wanted to escape the awkwardness of Colton’s first one-on-one date! Was anyone else cringing?
