PACK WITH ME: CARRY ON
All my life I was a dedicated ‘checked bag’ girl- its how I traveled every time my parents and I took a vacation. I guess you could say I inherited that from my Mom- I always appreciated having lots of outfit options, full size skincare products and realistically a lot of ‘“stuff” lol.
My 2022 READING LIST
As I’ve shared in previous blog posts, I like to keep annual lists of all the books I read throughout the year - part to keep track of so many good reads but also to inspire myself to read more each year.
REFLECTING ON 2022
I don’t know about you, but my Instagram feed has been flooded with 2022 reflection posts + reels which I love watching and, more than that, I’ve loved creating those year end highlight reels myself. It’s an amazing opportunity to look at all the fun, adventures + growth that has happened in just 365 days.

This gift guide was a lot of fun to put together because it is curated with an extra personal touch and joyful L O V E ! It also highlights some of my favorite things that I enjoy on a regular basis PLUS some of these gift guide items are either designed by or carried by some of my best girlfriends that own their own business- which you know I’m all about supporting!
I + M GIFT GUIDE: FOR HIM
I don’t know about you babes, but sometimes I’m on absolute FIRE with gift ideas for Matt and other times I’m absolutely stumped. Anyone else?

Well its no secret that I’m obsessed with my dogs (and pretty much all dogs).

TRAVEL GUIDE: PORTUGAL
If you didn’t already know, my husband is Portuguese. So being able to experience Portugal with him was always on my bucket list.
We decided to keep this trip short and sweet and just focus on one destination, Sao Miguel island in the Azores. It was beautiful!
TRAVEL GUIDE: SCOTTSDALE
You know what’s funny- just over a year ago I had never been to Arizona…. and as I write this I recently returned from my THIRD trip to Arizona in 365 days!
There’s something about Arizona that brings me a great deal of peace, joy + inspiration.

A BIRTHDAY LETTER TO MYSELF
What a year. Like a total dumpster fire of a year (for the most part). Sadly the painful parts of the year outweigh the shiny parts of the year. Normally you can rise up and not only see the big picture but also appreciate the highs and lows that are always full of lessons. This year was different.
