welcome to

If you're here, you're probably someone who believes life is too short for "average."
(Same, babe. Same.)
I'm here sharing all the good stuff—the kind of experiences that make you belly laugh and fill your cup with that unmistakable joie de vivre. There's a whole lot of food (steak frites in Paris and the dirtiest of martinis everywhere else), travel guides for those bucket list trips, style finds mixing vintage treasures with affordable trends, and everyday life in-between.

Let's do all the things.

Why I Used a Travel Advisor

When the hubs finally agreed to finally go on our honeymoon, he actually said we could go to Paris. Which of course, meant to me, we would go to France… and possibly make a few stops on the way, because, well, when in Rome Europe…But at one point I was ready to cancel the whole […]

I'm a discerning foodie, forever Francophile, audiobook junkie, and lover of travel. Life should feel a little... extra, don't you think? There's always room for another glass around here. Cheers, babe!

One of my earliest memories as a child is dancing around my living room to Beauty and the Beast. At the time, I didn’t realize there were so many European influences (French, in particular, stuck with me the most) but the seed was planted for me to fall in love with the romance of the European continent.

Mercury is in retrograde. I should go slowly. But…  But do ya ever wake up from *the* nap (you know… After a long hot day in the sun… late in the afternoon under the perfectly soft and warm but not smothering blankets, with no alarm clock to interrupt? Yeeeah, that’s *the* nap) and feel like […]

With the Memorial Day Weekend, we had planned to head North in order to personally welcome the mosquitoes back to the land of 10,000. But alas, the stars didn’t align so we stayed back […]

Let me start by telling you this is not an April Fool’s joke! It is, however, the first post of a new section that includes my favorite things–specifically ones I’m often heard saying I’m “obsessed” with. Et, viola! CBD. The Healers Podcast (I’ll rave about this podcast in another post!) recently released an episode about […]
