First hand travel tips, insight, and anecdotes for women travelers…
Idyllwild Vacation Cabins
What: San Jacinto Mountains
When: May 2013
Where: Two hours East of Los Angeles
Misty clouds creeping through the mountain tops, drops of rain dotting the pine deck, the remarkably refreshing stillness of an early morning… time for a coffee run!
Here’s a little taste of my few days in a quaint mountain town. A little rain, a little sunshine, amazing food, and great memories go a long way.
Now scrambling to pack for the East Coast! My red-eye leaves tonight…
I love their whimsical playful nature and brightly colored scenes. I’d really love to print and frame some of these for my office. Here’s a sampling of what I’ve been loving this week!

Hope you guys enjoy your weekend,

Can’t you picture yourself traipsing along the cobble stones of Versailles, peeking through a historic arch at St. Marks, or gazing at the natural splendor of Sund, Norway?
I’ve come across a few really striking and moody pics that I had to share with you.
What catches your eye?
My standpoint has always been rooted in creating a dialogue. Traveling, blogging, and social media are a two-way street. We all learn from our experiences & why not share them with one another to some degree.
I created my blog & continue to pour myself into it because I keep discovering things that I feel travelers need to know about. Be it a tip, link, or an easier way to do something, I share my varied content with all viewers as I would with a close friend – ‘You need to know about this…!’
I’ve decided to take this a step further and also create or repost content pertaining to blogging. I frequently come across templates, articles, industry news, or techniques that would be of interest to other bloggers – no matter what your niche is.

I had the pleasure of listening to a panel of beauty influencers discuss their experiences with social media at the Beauty Goes Social event on February 21st.
DigitalLA did a great job moderating the discussion and Q&A hosted at eSalon’s brand new headquarters in Culver City, CA.
For about an hour and a half, six female gurus openly discussed their experiences, stats, engagement, trends, tricks, popular apps, time invested, and results gained. Ultimately, everyone was in agreement that authenticity and relatability are the keys to success.

Late last week I was working away on my laptop and in a moment, my normal 20/20 seemed a bit off. Was it the laptop settings? Was there a glare coming in from the afternoon light? No, my eyes were just crossing all by themselves! Did it hurt? No. Did it freak my out? Yes. The whole experience of double vision lasted a few seconds, despite me actively trying to straighten my eyes & focus on something in the distance. Uggg… let the head games begin. Fortunately I kept my cool and it was over within moments, but it’s a lesson learned. It just goes to show how much I’m really on the computer and iPhone. Enough is enough… talk about a much-needed lifestyle change.

Having an amazing time on the East Coast!
Yesterday I was lucky enough to be taken for a motorcycle ride and explore a slice of Southern Maine. Quaint towns oozed charm. Fresh air and lush green grass are a far cry from Los Angeles.
Sometimes a destination is about work… at times it’s about pleasure… and at times it’s about fully decompressing and having a bit of an adventure.
