Though most are not traveling at this very second. I can imagine that most are super excited for their next adventure. Once the dust settles, and we're back to our daily norm traveling will be back the therapy that it is for some. It's a way to see and try new things... it's a way to live beyond your wildest dreams for that very second. It's a way to crush fears and doughts...

When my son and I went on our cruise back in January. We had an amazing time, I wanted to record a "pack with me" video to share all of my must-haves. It's so easy to forget what to bring with you while being out and about. I know these videos are really helpful for me, and I wanted to share with you guys my must-haves and what I'm typically traveling with. 

What are some of your travel essentials?

I had the amazing opportunity to stay at the Sheraton Hotel in Arlington Texas. I truly loved everything about this hotel. It was just a short drive to many shops and restaurants.

Room
My room was super spacious and it came with a refrigerator and complimentary bottled water.

Lobby
I was really surprised at how much seating was offered at this hotel. Tons of seating was offered. Whether you just wanted to take a seat or get some work done on your laptop prior to taking your flight.

Location
I love that this hotel is in close proximity to DFW airport.

Amenities
I love that this hotel offered a Gym, complimentary shuttles to DFW, and a stunning pool. I’m so amazed at how stunning the pool was. It really felt as if I was at the restart in another country.

Hotel
I’m honestly not sure if I’ve stayed at a Sheraton hotel before. However, It won’t be my last. This hotel was simply stunning! From the lobby to my room.

Happy Tuesday! It still feels weird writing 2017 down on paper and actually saying it too... Getting in the swing of my new daily routines... During 2016 I tried some amazing products. However, it was really hard to compile a list of about ten products that I plan to purchase again in 2017. I've already started trying new products in 2017 that I know that I will love. I couldn't allow another year to go by without sharing the products I absolutely loved in 2016.

Products Mentioned

EOS Lip Balm
Chanel No. 5
Jimmy Choo
MAC Concealer
NYC Pallet
Cetaphil Face Cleanser
Trader Joes Nourish
Mizani 25 Miracle Milk

We're officially a full week into September. I thought I might as well share my August favorites before we're well into October, LOL. Hope you enjoy!

Not sure why July was so in a rush... However, I would like to give a warm welcome to August!. This is so bittersweet to me because I actually really love the warm weather, and living in New England you can never predict what the weather is going to be like in the Fall, Winter or Spring. One year we got snow in October (insert side eye).

Anywho

, I could not allow the month to go by without sharing my favorites. I have a combination of Home + Beauty items. Please feel free to show me some love and subscribe to my channel.

Trust me, I know. You could easily spend $50 on two natural hair products. Well, I’m here today to assist you with how you could save while still purchasing the products you love. Check the clearance rack My local Target and periodically has natural hair items on sale from 10%-70% off. Don’t count Target out. Check the aisles during your regular shopping trip. You never know what you might find. Also, if you watch the video below. You will see how I scored some natural hair products that were regular price $20 and I was able to purchase them for $5. Yup! You read right.

Natural Hair Product Swap There are tons of local natural hair meet-ups/events. See if the event allows swapping. Trust me, I’ve scored some great products while swapping products. As a natural, it really doesn’t benefit you to keep products that just don’t work for you. That’s when swaps come in handy. You might even be able to find products you’ve wanted to try.

Sign up

for email newsletters I signed up for Sally’s and many other newsletters and you would be surprised at what great coupon offers they have if you just take moment to read the email. You should also take a moment to look at the bottom of your receipts. Often stores will offer discounts if you complete a survey. Sales Learn when your favorite stores/company have their regular sales. Trust me, it really sucks to purchase a product online a day before the sale starts. Many companies will mention on social media when they are having their next sale. Don’t hesitate to ask them to if they plan on having any upcoming sales and/or promotions.

Ibotta often has $5 off a $25 purchase at Sally Beauty Supply.

If you follow me on Snapchat, I'm typically at my local Dollar Tree way too often. During my last visit. I was able to pickup some great finds. I love finding items that you typically will not find at the Dollar Tree. I found some great ones during this shopping trip :).

Anywho, check out the video :).

What's your favorite Dollar Tree find?

Happy Monday!

Sharing some "Back to School" items I was able to snag during the summer sale at H&M. I'm not sure why it's so hard to "ball on a budget" while shopping for boys. However, I try my best to know when all of my favorite stores have sales. Since my little guy entered middle school last year, we had to sadly stop shopping at GYMBOREE. Even though he could still fit the clothing. I didn't want him to get teased (kids can be so mean no days)... Last year I had to re-introduce myself to H&M. To be honest, the transition to H&M has been awesome.. He loves the clothing and I love the prices. Anywho, check out my haul!

I can't believe we are midway in September (yikes) I could not let this month go by without sharing my August favorites. I hope you guys enjoy the video... This was my second time creating a video on my iMac and let's just say I had no idea what I was doing. In the past, I usually use my iPhone or iPad. However, I really thought I was doing something by using the Mister's T3i camera. E~~ven though we have no idea of where the remote is...~~ Anywho, check out the video and the products that were mentioned.

Red Lobster Biscuit Mix here
Tropical Traditions coconut oil here
Pixi Nail Polish here (not the same color, just to give you an idea of the brand)
Victoria Secret Vixen Perfume here
Downy Unstopables here
Avocado Oil here (brand I use)
Simply Natural Caesar Vinaigrette here (my Bj's sells them individually)

Hey, Everyone. I hope you enjoy my first beauty vlog. I’m sharing my four favorite beauty products. Most of these items can be found at your local Target. Unfortunately, the items from Victoria Secret I believe have been discontinued. I will try to find a similar item.

I hope you enjoy the video!
