St. Patrick’s Day is almost here and since visiting Ireland back in 2015, I have a new found appreciation for this holiday. I figured to get us hyped for St. Patty’s Day, a throwback travel post would be perfect. Let’s reminisce together on the time I crossed off the most anticipated item on my travel bucket list: Visit The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland! Enjoy my 6 favorite photos of the infamous Cliffs, and maybe we can plan a trip back!
I am super excited to announce that I have partnered with Uptown Art, a premier painting studio in Chandler where you can meet, drink and paint happy!
Trust me when I say that this place needs to be added to your bucket list especially if you don’t quite consider yourself an artist. By the end of the class, you will be calling yourself a Young Picasso 😉
This month I’ve partnered with The Brush Bar, a paint and wine bar in Scottsdale that offers instruction for adults and serves beer, wine and cocktails. This partnership came to be because I’ve gotten so many requests from friends and Enthusiastic readers to try out something like this. And the verdict is in: a drinking and painting class needs to be on your bucket list!
Thank you to The Brush Bar for hosting me and letting me experience all of the magic that goes on inside the studio! My friend Wendy and I seriously had such a blast.
A few weeks ago, I visited Chicago for the first time ever to visit my college friend Erica and oh my goodness y’all, I LOVED IT. One of my fave parts of my trip was visiting the infamous Willis Tower!
The views of Chicago from the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower) were beyond breathtaking and it was really awesome to be able to finally visit a place that I’ve known about since childhood. I’ve given you all phone wallpapers from Puerto Rico, and I didn’t want your laptops or computers to feel left out, so here you go! I hope you enjoy these 6 wallpapers from the top of the Willis Tower!
If you are an avid hiker in Arizona, then February 1st was probably the most stressful day of your life. BECAUSE RESERVATIONS FOR HAVASUPAI FALLS OPENED UP THAT DAY AND NOBODY WOULD ANSWER THE PHONES!!!
Okay, I’m done yelling but seriously, my cousin and I spent all day trying to call Havasupai Falls (one of the most beautiful hiking areas in Arizona) to try to reserve a spot and nobody answered 🙁 and then miraculously we found that a website had been launched and we were able to reserve. And we got through! So I’m super excited to be crossing off that major bucket list item this year, especially since it was one of the bucket list items to cross off in 2017.
Sleepless in Seattle, Phoneless in Phoenix, Stylish in Chicago!
If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and/or Twitter you will know that I am in Chicago, but you may also be wondering why the serious lack of pictures on social media. Well, my cell phone broke Thursday night before my super early morning flight to Chicago. 🙁
I honestly could not have planned this partnership with JORD at a better time. This month, I’ve partnered with JORD, a company that creates luxury, one-of-a-kind wooden watches and luckily for me, I was wearing this watch when my phone broke. So I knew how much time I had before Verizon closed, I knew how much time I had before the phone repair shop closed. and I was also able to arrive at the airport on time!
Seriously, sometimes it feels like the universe is watching my back. So thanks Jord, you are a lifesaver!
While in Puerto Rico a few weeks ago, I kept looking up at the sky and my surroundings and thinking to myself ‘wow what a wallpaper-y view’. And what I meant by that, is that everything I was seeing was so beautiful and deserving of being the first thing I looked at when grabbing my phone. What I enjoy the most about these following 6 photos/wallpapers, is that they show the true diversity of Puerto Rico. There are photos/wallpapers in the rain forest to the beach to a sunflower farm, and the list goes on.
Check out 6 of my favorite photos/wallpapers from Puerto Rico and let me know your favorite! I’m currently using #2 as my phone’s wallpaper 😉

I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve talked about food (and omg it has, the last food post was back in October!)…so let’s remedy that and let’s talk Mexican Food! A couple of weeks ago I went to happy hour with work friends and I was asked which Mexican restaurant in Phoenix was my favorite. And like a lot of people, when put on the spot in front of a large group of people, I kind of panicked and forgot every single Mexican restaurant I had ever been to. I told my friend (who was the one who asked me) that I would make sure to think carefully about his question and give him a good answer. So, Geoff, this is for you.
Here are 5 Mexican restaurants in Phoenix that you need to add to your food bucket list ASAP! Enjoy!
Glacier National Park was beyond breathtaking, and although I had the worst morning of my life here (seriously it was horrible, read about my embarrassing experience here), I would go back in a heart beat. Check out photos to inspire you to visit Glacier National Park as well as more photos from hiking Avalanche Trail and let me know if you are convinced to book a trip! Enjoy!

Happy 2017! We finally got to 2017 and there are so many New Year’s resolutions going around. Most people want to be healthier, spend less, travel more, and my personal favorite (get outside more often). If any of the above resolutions apply to you, then this blog post is going to be your best friend. Hiking is a great way to be healthier, spend less money (most hikes are free), travel more (some hikes require a small roadtrip), and you will most definitely be outside.
