Mahogany Bay Belize – Resort Review

My husband and I recently stayed in the Hilton Mahogany Bay Resort & Beach Club in San Pedro, Belize. The resort is amazing and, in our opinion, is probably the best place to stay in San Pedro. To get there, you need to fly into Belize City and then take either a 15-minute puddle jumper or 1.5 hour water taxi to get to the island of Ambergris Caye. Once on the island, you can rent a golf cart or have a resort driver pick you up at the airport. For more information about your trip to San Pedro, take a look at the Travel Guide.

7 Things That Transformed My Skin

This is a vulnerable post for me as my skin was my biggest insecurity for years. In high school, I would stand in front of the mirror, find one patch of clear skin, cover the rest of my face, and dream of what it would be like if all of my skin was clear.

My Heartfelt New Year Reflection

2022… wow. I’m not even going to be cheesy and ask “Can you believe it”?! Because I would bet that you can’t. I think the one thing that we can all agree on is that these past two years have been a whirlwind and a roller coaster of emotions. I don’t necessarily mean that in a bad way either. Although there have certainly been what seems like an extraordinary amount of uncertainty and fear, some of the best things have also come out of 2020 and 2021 and I don’t want to breeze past those either.

8 Packing Tips From A Serial Traveler

For someone who loves to travel as much as I do, I certainly do have a strong distaste for packing… and I know I’m not alone in this. Since it is 110% necessary to have a suitcase full of the things you want and need to have the kind of trip that you’re going on, you would think that, especially for the dream vacations, you could easily motivate yourself to check the box. However, it never seems to be that simple, does it?

6 Tips for Staying Warm at Work

I lived in Pennsylvania for the first 20 years of my life, so I know all about cold weather. Even here in North Carolina, although I’ve escaped most of the snow, it still can get pretty chilly during the winter. Regardless of the temperature outside, I’ve found that it almost doesn’t matter what season it is, the office always seems to be an icebox and I can never quite figure out how to stay warm at work.

Water Marble Your Nails in 10 Easy Steps

Right now, a ton of squiggly, bright designs are in for manis. While I always see those designs and wonder realistically how many nail salons can actually do them (and how much do they charge?!), I also acknowledge they wouldn’t be a walk in the park to do at home either- particularly on your non-dominant hand. So how do you get the trendy, pretty mani? Well, I pulled out one of my old middle school tricks… the water marble, to see if I could recreate the look myself.

8 Starbucks Drinks That You Must Try

Starbucks, for me as well as many people across the globe, is a tiny cup of happiness. It’s a quick way to recharge and break up the hours of sitting at a desk, starting at a screen. It’s something to look forward to. It’s a heartwarming treat to brighten your day. In honor of National Coffee Day, I wanted to share 8 Starbucks drinks you absolutely must try.

5 Dream Asheville, NC Itinerary Items

If you’ve never been to Asheville, NC, you should really add it to your list. It’s an unassuming little city tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a mix of an industrial, artsy vibe that is full of hidden treasures in the downtown and surrounding areas. After three and a half years of being told that I must make the two hour drive, my husband and I scheduled a weekend trip. It was a blast and we did a ton of cool stuff, but if I had it to do again, these are the five items that I would add to my trip to create my dream Asheville itinerary.

10 Ways to Reset When Working From Home

Nowadays, working from home is the new norm. Even companies that previously didn’t permit telework or swore it wasn’t possible have adapted and are making it happen. Teachers, as well as their elementary through college students, have, at least at some point, had to navigate the switch to virtual classrooms… and don’t even get me started on how much I empathize with those who are trying to work at home while taking care of a baby and/or ensuring their young child stays focused on their schoolwork.
