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!

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.

Language: English is the most commonly spoken language in New Zealand and almost the entire nation is either native or proficiently fluent as a second language. Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are the other two official languages of New Zealand.
Currency: The currency in New Zealand is the New Zealand Dollar (NZD).
1 USD is equivalent to about 1.54 NZD (2022). 1 EUR is equivalent to about 1.65 NZD (2022).
Additionally, it’s very common to use a credit card for most purchases, so cash won’t be needed as much. ATMs are also fairly common and accessible. That being said, debit cards aren’t always as readily accepted.
Gratuity: In general, tipping is not expected in New Zealand. Even in restaurants and bars. It’s fairly uncommon to tip unless you’ve received exceptional service, like a stellar concierge at your hotel. That being said, I don’t think anyone will be offended if you feel their service warranted some additional gratuity.
Travel Plug Adapter: In New Zealand the power plugs and sockets are of Type I. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the standard frequency is 50Hz.
Side of the Road: Left.
Safety: New Zealand is often rated one of the most peaceful, least corrupt nations in the world. Crime rates are extremely low and the little crime that does exist is mainly petty theft, like bag snatching. That being said, always be mindful of your surroundings, do your research about your destinations ahead of time, and always be prepared.
New Zealand
Overview
New Zealand is a great destination to visit because it truly feels like there is something for everyone. Especially if you love adventure traveling. From snow-capped mountains and smoking volcanoes to black sand beaches and Hobbiton, you will enjoy yourself exploring both the north and south islands. Just don’t forget to go Zorbing – it’s my favorite thing to do in New Zealand.
Māori culture is a rich and varied one and is an integral part of the tapestry of the New Zealand experience. A trip wouldn’t be complete without really honoring their traditions as they honor theirs by welcoming their guests and providing amazing hospitality.
New Zealand is the perfect location to visit for solo or group travel, and as a first-time traveler or a more seasoned traveler. The locals are nice, but a bit more on the quiet side. Follow the laws and you’ll be just fine. In general, the tourism industry is active and ready for your visit.
