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.

Oceania is home to the smallest continent, Australia, but is not the least populated continent with many thanks to the uninhabited Antarctica. Here are some fun facts about Oceania:
Regions: Oceania is geographically divided into four regions: Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia that cover over 100 million square kilometers (or approximately 39 million square miles) of the Pacific Ocean.
Countries: There are 14 official countries of Oceania, including Nauru which, interestingly enough, does not currently have a capital (2022).
Population: Almost 44 million people (2022) live within Oceania which means approximately 0.5% of the world’s population calls Oceania home. Australia is the most populated country in Oceania.
Language: If we’re talking numbers, English is the majority language spoken in Oceania (due to colonization), but that being said Oceania is home to so many beautiful indigenous languages thought to exceed over 5000 languages within Australasia and Melanesia alone.
Religion: The majority of Oceania follows Christianity (in part due to colonization and European influence, as well as a concerted missionary effort). Formerly, traditional religions predominated.
Geography: Australia is the largest country in Oceania (and is also a continent), while Nauru is the smallest. Australia is the biggest island in Oceania followed by a far distant New Guinea. Kati Thanda-Eyre is the lowest point in Oceania while Puncak Jaya is the tallest peak (and the tallest island mountain on Earth). Kiribati is the only country in the world situated in all four hemispheres. The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system. Ulura in the largest rock monolith in the world.
Oceania
Overview
Oceania includes the smallest continent based on landmass, but that doesn’t mean it has any less to offer than any other region we’re discussing. Due to its relative isolation, you’ll find unique wildlife in Oceania that isn’t natively found anywhere else. This is mainly because Oceania is the only world region not connected by land to another region.
As mentioned, Oceania is home to unique wildlife. It not only has the world’s highest concentration of marsupials, such as wombats, kangaroos and koalas, but it’s also home to monotremes. They are the only mammal in the world that lays eggs. There are five living species of monotremes and they all live in Australia and New Guinea.
From the Great Barrier Reef and Puncak Jaya on the Island of New Guinea to the massive Ulura and the Sydney Opera House, from Hobbiton and Mount Yasur to the pink Lake Hillier and the Jellyfish Lake – wherever you find yourself across this unique region, you will be fascinated and ready to explore.
