There are so many trends on social media. Reels, stories, posts, TikTok, and then there are the challenges, the in with this and out with that trending sounds. It's a lot to keep up with…

I love a good fairytale. Not so much for the woman swooning over a man who saves her from grave danger, but more for the beauty surrounding them. They stand as a testament to times long gone. One's of queens and kings, fancy dinners, and things we could only dream of…

Every year, I make a spectacle of reviewing the year past. What happened, what accomplishments did I have, what joys did I experience, and what pains did I endure? This year is no different. In true form, it is December 31, and I'm unpacking the baggage of 2024…

You know the holiday movie classic, "Christmas with the Kranks?" The premise is that the husband and wife pull out all the stops for Christmas every year, from multiple ornate gifts to donations to specific organizations to hosting a massive Christmas party. It's tradition, and they never break tradition…

I don't have the time, money, or ability to travel right now. Those are phrases I hear so often. In fact, I used to be one of those people saying that exact phrase. You know, an overworked woman with a little one at home with all the demands, and honestly, the cash flow wasn't enough to support some random excursion just because the things I needed to do were hard enough…

What is it with women’s clothes? There are trends, styles, and shoes that are meant to go with this one specific pair of pants that only look right with this one shirt that literally goes with nothing else, but you needed it for an event, so here we are....

Imagine this:

This was incredible. I am still coming down from my Disney Magic High. As the Disney Adult I am, I had to share my incredible experience at this year's D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Buckle up...

So you're a Disney Fan. You may like the movies or a couple of the shows. Perhaps you're like me and have a full-on identity as a Disney Adult, but have you heard of the D23 Fan Expo? Have you stood in a room with thousands of people cheering at the latest announcement? Have you given Bob Iger a standing ovation...

…I'm not that girl, though. This isn't about excuses but embracing renewal, spring, and the promise of a brighter future. It's about moving forward in the sunshine, undeterred by the rain storms of yesterday.

We all want to accomplish things in life - learn a new skill, read more books, travel to a new country, finally organize that closet, and so on. Getting around to doing those things can be tricky. Life has a way of getting in the way of doing anything. You know that phrase, life is just a series of obstacles preventing me from reading my book. Yup, so true…

February brings all the thoughts of love. We celebrate Valentine's Day, Black History Month, and Ash Wednesday this month. Each has its own title and purpose, but the echo of love runs deep. In the dance of daily life, we find solace and joy in the moments we share together. Yet, there's pure magic beyond the routine discovered in our journeys together…

What city is authentic, the birthplace of Motown, and was the beginning of the automobile industry as we know it? None other than Detroit. Detroit, Michigan, is a city that showcases the resilience of its people, and this exhibition transcends the boundaries of art and cinema. The Ruth E. Carter Exhibit at the Wright Museum is not just a visual feast…

At the start of the new year, wellness is top of mind. However, my definition of wellness goes beyond the societally imposed physical and emotional transformation expectations. Wellness, to me, is about doing what feels good to you…

Disney always pulls me in for the story. The time I spent wrapped in the universe created for me on screen, the expression and lessons learned through loveable characters, leaves me entranced, waiting to see what would come next. Even now, as an adult…

"Nothing against you, but why in the world would I hire a travel agent?" Truthfully, it feels like a big slap in the face to the future I want to carve for myself. Even more so, it feels like the world is against me and what I am incredibly passionate about doing. Envision that angel or devil on your shoulder scenario; that's how it feels in a nutshell…

Let me tell you, winter is a time. It's a party going from October through December. You have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all the festivities associated with their respective holidays. Costume contests, trick or treating, fall festivals, Thanksgiving dinner, and then, of course, the big one, CHRISTMAS; family and friends surround you, and no matter who you are, you are busy and unbelievably consistently active. It's worth it, though; you're making memories, right?

Years ago, I stumbled across the Danish idea of Hygge, the coziness and comfortable friendliness that gives rise to a feeling of contentment as defined in the dictionary. In lamens terms, it means engaging in cozy activities that allow for purposeful time away from the daily hustle and bustle to enjoy the people you care about while relaxing and genuinely focusing on life's simple pleasures. In a world where everyone is telling you how to live your best life, why not take some influence from people who are genuinely doing that?

Our fall holiday trip to Hamilton County, Indiana, was one of those little weekend getaways that are good for your soul. New tastes, new sights, history to be a part of, sometimes that little drive to a new area does wonders for the hole you might feel stuck in at home. Ok, but I'm getting away from myself here….

When visiting anywhere, I want to eat the best they offer. To experience what all the rave is about. So naturally, when visiting Universal Orlando, I had to try the award-winning Mythos restaurant. Located in Islands of Adventure…
