The Truth About My Chanel Splurge in Paris

The first Chanel hat boutique was located at 21 rue Cambon in Paris. I’ve known that fun little trivia fact since middle school. Back then I would use my allowance money to buy issues of Vogue magazine and dream of the day that I could own designer pieces. I’ve been to Paris a handful of times and I didn’t even bother to go to a store. Please, just save me the heartache and just drop me off at Target. But,...

Sleep Tight: One night at a capsule hotel in Tokyo

This post is real rich coming from me. I just wrote a post a few days complaining about budget hotels and here I am fresh out of one! It’s crazy because it was one of my top things to do here in Tokyo. I wanted to stayed in a capsule hotel and ride on bullet train! One down and one more to go. It’s weird because initially I didn’t even consider it a budget hotel. I just thought of it...

How to Eat Your Way Through Tokyo Disneyland

After a grueling sixteen hours of flying time, my first stop in Japan was at Disneyland! I am such a big kid at heart and I love Disney parks! There are six Disney resorts across our wonderful planet and Tokyo marks my fifth. I only have the Shanghai location left to visit! My experience at Tokyo Disneyland was amazing, not only was the ticket affordable ($62), but the food was also cheap and yummy too! I am one of those...

Hidden Gems in Idaho: What to See Besides Yellowstone

On my current quest to visit all fifty states, I did a roadtrip through Idaho and Montana. Both states, along with Wyoming is home to Yellowstone National Park. My overall knowledge of Idaho before my visit was potatoes and waterfalls. I was looking forward to long scenic drives and just being one with nature. And of course, stuffing my face with as many potatoes as I could find. My first stop in Idaho was at Shoshone Falls Park in Twin...

Is the Napa Valley Wine Train Really Worth Your Time and Money?

As the year ends, I look back over the numerous trips I’ve taken, and I’m really in awe! I didn’t travel as much as I typically do and only used my passport twice this year. However, I did take some big girl, grown woman trips. In June, I was fortunate to visit Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts and I just completed my Napa Valley journey. Both places are pretty expensive to travel to in the States, and I’m still so surprised...

An Epic Bucket List Adventure in Petra

If my favorite high school history teacher, Mr. Long, could see me now! Little ol’ me finally made it to the treasury in Petra, Jordan! Just even typing that is unbelievable! I’m from a small town in the very southern state of Alabama. Like really? It’s so fascinating when you have all these childhood dreams of places to go and then you finally get there. It’s such an amazing tingly feeling. Like I really did it! Ok, enough of my...

Lollapalooza 2024, VIP is always Better.

Yes, you’ve read the title correctly. And yes, your’s truly was living the good life during Lollapalooza this past weekend. I went from crappy general admission tickets, followed by VIP and ultimately ended up in Platinum. It’s crazy because just last month in July, I snuck my way up to the front row seats at Essence Festival! This time around I didn’t have to look over my shoulder every two minutes, scared that security was gonna kick me out! In...
