So, next time you're hosting a girl's night, dinner, or event at your place and you're looking for a delicious cheese plate and a one-stop-shop (Trader Joe's) to do your grocery shopping, look no further. It also impress everyone and make you feel like you’re a little chef in the making! Plus, it’s fun to just throw crushed nuts on the board, add color where you think is fitting, and get creative.

So, with Hotel Contessa's tagline being "Luxury Suites on the Riverwalk", my attention was caught. And they truly live by their slogan - gorgeous views of the Riverwalk right out my window and easy access to explore the city. Each evening during our stay, Michael and I would end the evening on the patio facing the Riverwalk. We would watch all the people take boats, walk along the river, and even saw a couple get married! It was quite the experience.

Although we no longer live in this sweet little home under Lookout Mountain, I still wanted to share all the TLC I put into this house. Plus, it was the first house we ever truly owned, and we had so many great memories there! Besides, most the furniture we kept, and if we didn’t, it wasn’t because I didn’t love, it’s just when ya move to the city a girl has to downsize.

Well, here I am at the ripe age of 26 and I found myself smelling way too much of that Fierce cologne trying to find the perfect pair of high-waisted denim shorts for our trip to Mexico. I had seen another blogger wearing these super cute shorts and when I found out they were from Abercrombie, I was like, “eww”, then I realized I need to stop being so prematurely judgy and just try them out. When you need shorts in a pinch, you do what you gotta do.

If you’ve been thinking about traveling to Tulum, then you know that the hardest part about planning this gorgeous getaway is finding the perfect spot to stay. I think I spent two weeks going through Airbnb listings before settling on Nahouse. Also, things go quick, so waiting too many weeks to book your stay isn’t recommended!

The Maldives is one of those few places that blow your expectations out of the water.  One couldn't possibly dream up a paradise as gorgeous as these 1,100+ islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The amazing teal colored water, palm trees perfectly placed on gorgeous islands, fresh fish caught daily, and sunshine 365 days of the year -- it's pure bliss.

Chefchaouen, the Blue Pearl of Morocco, has topped my list of places to see for quite some time now.  I've been mesmerized by the beautiful blue buildings, small streets, and colorful culture that Chefchaouen provides.  As a photographer, it's one of those dream places that you really cannot take too many photos of.  Walking through the blue streets, I had to stop myself and soak it all in from time to time.  It's truly one of the most gorgeous cities I've seen in person.
