I decided to write this article on my picks for the 5 best beach holiday destinations in the world because I’m often asked what my favorite beach in the world …

An Overview of St. John

Ahhh, the Virgin Islands. Just the name sounds seductive and alluring. The postcard-like beaches have always drawn me in and I knew they were at the top of my “Caribbean …

Cozy fireside coffee with river and mountain views? Yes please! @skamanialodge has perfected the PNW vibes. #skamanialodge

What a wonderful couple days exploring the waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge and relaxing in the newest of the beautiful tree houses at @skamanialodge in Stevenson, Washington [gifted]. It was definitely the little getaway I needed, with the ultimate social distancing. #skamanialodge

As much of the world goes back into lockdown again

As much of the world goes back into lockdown again, I’m reminiscing about past experiences around the world. Grateful for those and hopeful for more in the future. We really have changed as a world. Our generation hasn’t experienced anything like this before. It kind of blows my mind the way there are humans we depend on to make the world right again. Like scientists, doctors, and leaders both locally and globally. Not many of us will be individually responsible for “fixing” a global pandemic or other catastrophe, but my appreciation for those who do sure makes me want to play any small part I can in making the world a better place.

Happy Friday! We woke up to over 6 inches of snow

Happy Friday! We woke up to over 6 inches of snow and it’s still coming down like crazy! I love it! Summer and lake life is my favorite, but a snowy winter wonderland makes me the happiest ever.

For as long as I’ve traveled, I’ve known I wan

For as long as I’ve traveled, I’ve known I wanted a unique and beautiful bathroom in a home someday. One that felt like a sanctuary with elements from around the world where I’d fallen in love with the aesthetics: places like Bali, Morocco, and Greece. I feel like I was able to capture that here. The perfect focal piece for the bathroom is the Kokoro Asian style light above the tub by @troylighting. I’m beyond grateful to be partnering with them to share some of their stunning lights throughout the house. A full house tour and blog is coming soon! #troylighting #gifted #homedecor

I know it can be said that one person doesn’t make all the difference, but when that one man has the power to make decisions involving climate, war, how we respond to a pandemic, who a person can marry, and whether or not a person feels safe in their own skin, then that one person does matter. I try not to get political on here. But we need to hold our leaders to a high standard of character. They are representing us on a global stage. How we’ve allowed a delusional man with a narcissistic personality disorder to become the representative of the free world, is beyond baffling. And how someone can vote for him a second time after witnessing this 4-year-long train wreck is even more baffling. That’s all. I just had to get that off my chest.

Also, if you’re from another country, I’m humbled by your concern, interest, and knowledge of US politics. Please share your views of the US election if you have one (which I know you do).

Such a fun weekend of cooking, eating, and yes...decorating my Christmas tree 🎄😜(don’t hate). I tried @greenchef for the first time and was so impressed!

So healthy, fun and easy for literally anyone because it comes with all the ingredients pre-measured and prepped delivered to your door contact-free.

If there’s ever a day I can get away with posting something ludicrous, it’s today. Happy Halloween! I hope we’re all able to find a way to responsibly celebrate in some capacity.

It’s not everyday you find a man willing to be a pumpkin-head with you. Thanks @chris_cottrell for [usually] going along with my bizarre ideas 🤣

I’m starting a series of pumpkin themed photos until Halloween. Aside from this one, the rest are ridiculous and hilarious. I despise carving pumpkins, but this year it was worth the effort. Hope you enjoy!

You may have caught my stories from a recent road

You may have caught my stories from a recent road trip through 4 states. I’m a major sucker for anything historic, so this quirky little gold mining “ghost” town from the 1860’s in Montana totally enthralled me. And despite being a “ghost town,” people do live there and tourists stroll the streets in the summer. I just want to time travel! Anyone else? What era would you want to go to the most?

Note: I’m well aware of the fact that the word “gypsy” is not PC and I don’t use or support the use of the word.
