These are the beauty products I genuinely reach for again and again. From complexion favorites to lip products and skincare, this collection features trusted picks from brands like Danessa Myricks, Patrick Starrr, MAC Cosmetics, and more. If you’re looking for products that help create polished, everyday looks, these are the ones I personally enjoy using.

I’ve lived in Texas on and off since 2003 and have called San Antonio home for more than 13 years, so this collection is a mix of places I know, places I’ve enjoyed, and a few spots I think are worth checking out if you’re visiting or rediscovering the state for yourself. You’ll find San Antonio favorites, Texas parks, outdoor activities, restaurants, and a few recipes too. Some may already be familiar, others might be new to you, but the goal is simple: sharing places and experiences that feel worth the time.

Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been creating content for a while, these are the cameras and accessories I personally use for YouTube videos, product photography, Instagram Reels, TikToks, and everyday content creation. I prefer gear that’s beginner-friendly, reliable, and easy to use, so you can create professional-looking content without an overwhelming learning curve.

Some of these Wayfair fines are already in my own home, while others simply caught my eye for their style and function. I included pieces for the foyer, kitchen, game room, bathroom and bedroom that can make a space feel more comfortable, useful, and thoughtfully put together.

Growing up in North Carolina, amusement parks were part of those childhood memories you don’t really appreciate until you’re older. I remember going to Carowinds and Tweetsie Railroad as a child, so this list has a little nostalgia mixed in with the recommendations. Some of these places are big, all-day attractions, while others are perfect when you just want a few hours of fun with the family. Either way, they give visitors another side of North Carolina beyond the mountains, beaches and historic sites.

Affordable home essentials, luxury-inspired furniture, bedding, décor, kitchenware, storage solutions, rugs, lighting, outdoor pieces, and everyday home finds from Overstock and Bed Bath & Beyond. A great place to browse stylish pieces for the bedroom, living room, office, and more while creating a cozy, elevated home aesthetic.
