I'm always struggling to find a pillow that helps me get a good night's rest. I deal with acid reflux and that means I often can't sleep for more than an hour at a time. This style pillow advertised it would help with my acid reflux symptoms... and it has! I'm able to sleep more and in longer periods.

My little family has our own family bucket list that includes all the things, travel-related, that we want to do together.
One item on that list: visiting all of the geographical regions.
Our last region we need to visit together is the Middle East. We're planning a 2024 trip, most likely.
Comment with some of your bucket list travel must sees!

Interested in my assistance? Schedule a consultation first and we'll get started on this partnership. 🙂

My Mother's Day weekend was absolutely perfect and I'm grateful for this little one who made me a mama. And to her sibling who we sadly weren't able to bring into this world, I miss you and I'm grateful for you, too.
Photo by my amazing husband who enjoys watching our shenanigans.
To all the mamas, people who took on the role of mom, and to the mamas who are waiting on their baby, the mamas who lost their baby, or perhaps your baby never came... I love you and I see you.
I'm working on some blogs about my time in Antarctica and I'd love to know what you guys want to read about. Do you have questions about the itinerary I chose? Or perhaps you want to know what I recommend packinging? I also know photography gear is really challenging to fine tune, so would it be helpful to see what I brought? Perhaps you have other questions or concerns I can address?
Let me know in the comments.
Folks have been asking me about where I get my hair done, so I put together a quick video for you. @geeksgetglam does my hair in Austin, TX. She is an award-winning vivids specialist, and she is also such an awesome person.
For maintenance in between visits to see Danielle, i use @overtonecolor. I also limit how much I wet wash my hair. Additionally, I almost always let my hair air dry.
It has always been a dream of mine to set foot on all the continents. At a young age, I made this bucket list that seemed impossible. It included all of these things I wanted to do before I was 40.
The sad truth, though, is I didn't think I'd make it to 40. I created a list of things to accomplish with this understanding that was all the time I had. My mother attempted suicide multiple times before she was 40, and I also had that hopelessness in me. I wasn't sure I'd have the strength to overcome it.
These dreams are part of what has fueled my healing journey. Dreams of travel. Dreams of partnership. Dreams of family.
I used to dream to escape reality, but little by little, as these dreams have come true, I now dream to manifest my future.
Here's to dreaming...and here's to living.
New nails by @pretty_nail_gang. I asked for spoopy Scream, and she delivered. These are extra long, sculpted stilettos. She did encapsulation, hand painting, and sculpted multiple 3D elements, including the Ghostface Kitty and the small gummy bears.

While Europe is a fairly small continent, it still has a wide variety of cultural heritage, scenery, and cuisines. Here are some fun facts about Europe:
Regions: Europe is generally divided into five regions: Northern, Southern, Central, Eastern, and Western. I’m basing this on geographical sub-divisions, and not geopolitical or linguistic regions. To read more about those regions, head to my All About Regions In Europe blog.
Countries: Well, that depends on who you ask. Generally accepted, Europe has 50 countries, but only 44 of those countries have their capital city on the European continent. That being said, almost 100 UN member states recognize Kosovo as a country, so some people say Europe has 51 countries. Only 27 countries belong to the European Union as of 2022.
Population: More than 748 million people (2022) live on the continent of Europe which means approximately 10% of the world’s population calls Europe home. Depending on who you ask, there are around 87 distinct “peoples of Europe”.
Language: In Europe, around 94% of their population speaks an Indo-European language, including Russian, French, Italian, German, and English. Russian is the most spoken native language in Europe.
Religion: In Europe, they primarily practice Christianity.
Geography: Russia is the largest transcontinental country in Europe, while Vatican City is the smallest. Ukraine is the largest non-transcontinental country. Sognefjord is the largest fjord and Mount Elbrus is the tallest mountain. Lake Ladoga is the biggest lake and Vinnufossen is the tallest waterfall.
Europe
Overview
Europe attracts more tourists than any of the other continents, with an estimated 600 million international visitors per year. This is no surprise when you think of how tourist ready Europe is, with the fairly efficient and well-maintained transportation infrastructure they have across the continent (like the Eurail). But also, millennia after millennia of cultural heritage.
Its wealth of attractions in a relatively small and well-connected space is likely its biggest draw. Europe is the second smallest continent but has the highest continental population density (based on the number of people per square mile or kilometer). Despite its population density, it still has such stunning and iconic natural scenery, as well. And while small, it retains a tremendous amount of visual and cultural diversity.
From the iconic Eiffel Towel and Stonehenge to Gulfoss Falls and the Cliffs of Moher, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa and over to Canals of Bruge to Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Neuschwanstein Castle – wherever you find yourself on this birthplace of Western Civilization, you will be awestruck and ready to explore.
