    MORE BOUQUETS and cowboy boots, please

    by

    Last week I flew out to see one of my best girlfriends, Andee, who currently resides in Birmingham, Alabama. Andee moved to Birmingham from San Francisco roughly three years ago, since she was presented with an amazing work opportunity at Food & Wine (which I got to tour during my stay). Shortly after her move, […]

    2024 Vision board: What’s in and out

    by

    With 2024 in full-swing, I can’t help but look back at 2023 with gratitude and appreciation, with hopes 2024 will live up to expectations. Last year, Evan and I got married in our home town of South Lake Tahoe at Valhalla Tahoe. We missed a few friends, but were primarily surrounded by the ones who […]

    Boogie with the browns: 10.13.23 Wedding Bells

    by

    October 13, 2023, Evan and I said “I do” beneath the Valhalla Tahoe pine trees. We were surrounded by our loved ones who traveled near and far for our big day. And so, this has become our favorite day to date!   In an effort to prepare for this monument day, we assembled a dream […]

    Amanda’s last disco: A santa barbara BACHELORETTE

    by

    Roughly a month ago now, I traveled to Santa Barbara, CA for my Bachelorette party. After moving away from Santa Barbara a few years ago, it was really nice to return! The theme was Amanda’s Last Disco. Think 70s, retro, groovy, and disco vibes. We spent a total of three days by the beach, and […]

    You belong among the wyoming wildflowers??

    by

    For the Fourth of July weekend, Evan and I took a trip from Salt Lake City to Jackson, Wyoming. The drive was relatively short, so we were able to condense our trip to accommodate both our work schedules and allotted time-off. We began our trip on Friday, June 30th, and made the four to five […]

    https://youtu.be/dCcvXfF4y44 After a month of celebrating Thanksgiving and prepping for the upcoming holidays, I am finally getting around to writing my Tulum blog! That being said, Evan and I traveled to Tulum and Cancun, Mexico, October 30th – November 4th, during Día de Muertos. We had a solid three days in Tulum and day in […]

    https://youtu.be/jy1i8n_GyaM Aloha from Oahu, Hawaii! A week ago, my boyfriend and I were visiting the beautiful and lush Island of Oahu. We stayed at Aqua Aloha Surf Waikiki, which is located just a few short blocks from shopping and Waikiki Beach. The hotel was not the Ritz, but it certainly got the job done and […]

    Get Yo Pride On! DIY macrame Rainbow??

    by

    Happy Pride Month!! Pride is commemorated in June, since that was the month when the Stonewall Riots occurred. For those who aren’t as familiar, the Stonewall Riots were protests that took place in 1969 in the US, that helped ignite gay rights in America. The rainbow also has cultural significance in Hawaii, where Hawaii is […]

    Love my gals a brunch! Celebrating Galentines Day

    by
    I don’t know about you, but in my opinion, Galentines is one of the best holidays of the year! After all, what is better than gals celebrating gals? If Saturdays are for the boys, then Sunday brunch is reserved for the girls. That said, last Sunday I hosted my very first Galentines event. We came, […]

    I Don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 2022!

    by
    Another year has come and gone, and the world is still as unpredictable as ever. At this point not testing positive for Covid or one of its variants is like avoiding the ghosts coming at you in Pac-Man (okay now I’m really starting to show my age). 2021 was a lot of things – it […]

    Merry Christmas Eve Grinches! I hope you have been starting to feel that ho ho holiday magic! And if not, I know a little bit of Baileys helps me get by.  This year I’ve been dreaming of a white Christmas; and luckily, it looks like this manifestation will become my reality. It has been dumping snow in […]

    Utah in October – the season of fall foliage

    by
    Happy Halloween! Spooky season is currently upon us! As some of you may know, Evan, Comet, and I moved to Utah from California in June, as I was presented with a job opportunity at Utah Valley University advising first-year students. So far I have enjoyed what outdoor and event opportunities Utah has to offer. Of […]

    Last weekend, February 12-15th, my boyfriend and I were in Seattle, WA. We arrived late evening February 12th and departed the morning of February 15th. This meant we had all of Saturday and Sunday to adventure! I had booked our flight tickets in December as a Christmas gift for Evan. I figured we would travel […]

    A weekend at the coast: Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur

    by
    As a kid, I remember driving to places like Monterey, Morro Bay, and Pismo Beach with my parents and grandparents. Now that I’m an adult, I enjoy taking trips up to these places, as well as Carmel and Big Sur, because it allows me a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of […]

    How-To holiday DYI Ornaments: Eight Ornament Designs

    by
    This holiday season I decided to craft my own Christmas ornaments. I’ve always felt the best gifts are those that come from the heart. Meaning, Christmas is not about the quantity of the gift, but rather the quality of it. Does the gift mean anything to you or them? Did you put thought, time, or […]

    Colorado Vlog

    by
    A few weekends ago I visited Colorado with my two high school best friends. Ali had just gotten engaged, so of course we all needed to be together to celebrate! Ali currently lives just outside Denver, Colorado, while Sarah is in Tahoe and I reside in Santa Barbara. So it was nice that we could […]

    Happy Fall Y’all!

    by
    Can you believe it’s already October, aka spooky season? I know I can’t. Summer seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye, but I honestly don’t mind. In fact, fall is my favorite season of all! I know this year looks a little different with a global pandemic and the chaos that’s unfolded with […]

    Tahoe Vlog

    by
    I was born and raised in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Since I’ve moved, I typically come up to visit the lake one to two times per year. I enjoy Tahoe’s year-round seasons, mountainous and beach terrain, and tap water (that’s right, no filter necessary). It’s a great place to raise a family, and I feel […]

    Santa Barbara Vlog

    by
    Santa Barbara, CA, is my current place of residence. Many people from around the world come to enjoy our sandy beaches and mountainous ranges. It is a paradise for lovers, friends, families, and college students alike. It is definitely not idealistic for new home owners (it’s just very expensive), by that is a trade off […]
