It's no secret I love a good monogram, especially when it's on my luggage or travel accessories. The Daily Edited (the brand who also makes my painted phone case) recently just launched their Black Suitcase. And best of all? It can be personalized with your name or monogram. ...
If you are like me, you love all things organization. Maybe it's because I was a teacher for 6 years or I just love the idea of things all having a place — either way, I get excited to be organized. Now that doesn't mean I'm always organized per se, but I like to have the tools when needed.
I posted this makeup case on Instagram last month and got an overwhelming response of organizers seeking more tips and tricks when it came to this area. Several of you (528 to be exact) also bought one of these for yourself and mentioned how you wanted more ideas for affordable travel organizers to store makeup, skincare and makeup brushes. ...
Hello from Palm Springs! Austin and I are here on a little babymoon/last Valentine's Day before the baby. It has been super chill and very relaxing, to say the least, which is everything we wanted in a babymoon. We are also getting to see my family next week in Orange County, which will be a nice addition to the trip as well. ...
Hello from sunny California! Austin and I left on Wednesday to head to Orange County to spend some time with our family and take a mini-vacation. Many of you know that I actually lived here until I was 10 and many of our family members still live in the area. We always try to make a point to get out here a couple times a year and spend time with them. ...
Travel, in general, can be a stressful thing. Sure, we get excited about the destination or the vacation spot, but usually, there are some crazy moments involved. To keep my skin in check, I always travel with products focused on helping keep my skin hydrated and blemish free. Which we all know can be a feat traveling or not. ...
The weather is cooling down and what better way to celebrate the new season like a weekend getaway? Whether you're jet setting up north or taking a road trip outside of town, it's nice to take some time and enjoy fall. ...
This may surprise you, but I love packing. There's just something about organizing and planning my outfits that gives me a sense of relief and helps me stay sane during the stress of traveling. Austin, on the other hand, takes more of a "last minute" approach. Opposites attract, right? This Christmas, Austin and I are heading to stay with his family on Christmas Eve, then going to stay with my family for Christmas dinner. Next week, my side of the family are heading to California to surprise my Grandfather for his birthday. He is turning 80 (!) and we are so excited to fly out and celebrate him. ...
When Austin and I traveled to Charleston a few weeks ago (you can read our travel guide here), we stayed at The Mills House. It was a beautiful hotel and the perfect location to walk around the city. While we were there, I got several emails and comments asking if I would share my packing essentials and suggestions. I personally, love to read "in my bag" types of posts so I am excited to share one with all of you! ...
Lately, one of the questions I've been getting asked most is "What are you favorite flats for traveling?". If you saw my snapchat in London, you may remember the Q&A I did with Austin. Like him, I also like to do my research before purchasing products for trips! With being a little tight on packing space, I wanted to make sure I got the most bang for my buck when it came to shoes.
During our trip, we walked everywhere. As much as I wanted to bring my heels and wedges, those had to stay home (the cobblestone in Europe is no joke). I rotated these shoes throughout our trip and found them to be practical, comfortable and very easy to wear with different outfits. Here are the shoes I packed for our European vacation: ...
As promised here is a peek into my travel beauty bag. I shared a few snapchats (username: theteacherdiva) of my products during our recent trip to Europe (travel details coming soon!), but wanted to include a full post going into detail on each product. A few of you were curious about my skin care routine and miscellaneous beauty items so I was sure to go into detail on each of those. ...
