An itinerary from our first time in Vegas! There is so many things to do, and only a so little time in a long weekend but this is most of what we were able to fit into our trip! Of course you will also walk The Strip and stop into several casinos, but here are some additional things I would recommend making time for! 🌟

My handy-dandy beauty and makeup list of tried and trues for the ultimate emo/alt look!

Every summer cookout turned into a buffet for mosquitoes, and my legs were always the main course. Sprays wore off in twenty minutes, candles did nothing, and I was tired of scratching welts for a week straight. This is everything I actually wore, sprayed, and set up around my patio that finally let me sit outside past 7pm without donating blood. Grab what you need before peak mosquito season hits.

I love a good staycation in my new city, and these are the stays that actually let me switch off. Coming to China can be overwhelming - this is where I've actually recharged, so you know where to book when you need the same.

I just moved to Hickory, NC from Western Kentucky and it is the cutest small town! Think of a real life Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls.. I’m rounding up the best things to do, see, and eat in the Hickory and surrounding areas. Ranging from local businesses to sporting events and more, I've got your trip to Hickory covered!

A collection of the workout equipment, supplements, and electrolytes I use every day!

After summer, fall is my favorite time of year....pretty red, gold orange foliage surround me, sweater weather, pumpkins, apple cider, fires in the fireplace.....it just sounds enticing, although, in reality, it is a bit more romanticized

I’ve recently realized that I’ve watched ALOT of shows… probably more than your average bear 😅 I watch them while I’m folding laundry, cooking dinner, setting up for my live shows, etc. and I don’t like boring shows, lifetime series aren’t really my thing. I tend to be drawn towards the chaos, the down and dirty, semi realistic, comedy, thrill, drama, crime, suspense type of shows Buckle up because it’s a little unpredictable lol

Beauty & makeup for the busy mom with limited time to get ready!

Skip the lines and the postcard crowds — this is the Italy you find when you keep driving past the famous stop. Cave cities carved into rock, whitewashed hill towns, a ghost village under a five-fingered cliff, secret Sardinian and Calabrian coastlines, and the food and gear to do it right. I've already built the Florence, Venice, and Tuscany lists, and I review travel gear for a living — this one is for the traveler who wants the version of Italy the tour buses miss.

As someone who has struggled with acne and acne-prone skin for many years, I’ve tried out so many different makeup products to figure out what doesn’t break out or irritate my skin. Through many trials and errors, I’ve compiled a list of some of my absolute favorite makeup products that make my skin look and feel great!

This list contains providers of services I use and trust in NorthWest Arkansas or SouthWest Missouri, which is saying a lot because I don’t trust easily. 😆 From esthetics to our favorite dentist, I’ve shared authentic reviews based on people I know and trust.

Franklin County will always hold my heart as my home town. 🖤 Check out some local faves & take in the rolling hills of farm land & Blue Ridge Mountains.

Fall is coming up! My favorite season, with the weather getting cooler and there are so many activities to do. What to do in the fall in the New Jersey/ New York area!

If you have mature skin and struggle with finding makeup products that don't dry you out or just look bad, then these are tried and true products that I have used on many of my clients that are 50+.

As one of my mom’s caregivers, I wanted to create a list of the ALS caregiving products, mobility aids, respiratory equipment, comfort items, and daily living tools that have genuinely helped her. These recommendations come from her physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, doctors, and our own experience caring for her at home. We have tried many products that did not work for her, so I am only including items she has actually used and found helpful. ALS is a progressive disease, and a person’s needs can change over time, so not every item will be appropriate for every stage or every patient. However, everything included on this list made a meaningful difference for my mom at some point in her ALS journey. Sending lots of love to all persons with ALS and caregivers of people with ALS. I am hopeful that there will be a cure one day. ***As with anything on Benable, I earn a very small royalty from purchases made here, but I wouldn't recommend anything I haven't bought for my own mom. This platform just seemed like a great method for sharing recommendations! Any money I earn here goes right back into supporting my mom***

Back to college dorm & school supplies list 📚 everything from tech to dorm organization to the best school supplies to keep you on track this semester and every one after!

My comfort shows are things I enjoy watching over and over again. I always have the tv on in the background while I'm getting ready, working, doing school work, cooking, doing my nails, anything! I enjoy something playing I've already seen before and know I like, and it always helps to pass the time. There are some things I watch specifically to brighten up my mood and just have a good laugh.

Move-in day is the one shopping trip where forgetting something small costs you a whole afternoon, so this is the short version of the dorm cart — seventeen things that actually get used, not a hundred that get returned. I kept it deliberately tight and organized it in the order you pack. Dorm Essentials is the bedding that makes a plastic twin mattress survivable, including a sherpa fleece blanket big enough to overhang the sides and a weighted blanket for the first few weeks of sleeping in a room with someone else in it. Tech and Study Setup is the four things a dorm room genuinely needs plugged in: a 10,000mAh power bank for days with no outlet between classes, an Echo Dot as the alarm clock and speaker in one, AirTags in a four-pack because dorm keys and a backpack will get left somewhere, and the TI-84 Plus CE, which is still the calculator most syllabi ask for by name. Backpacks and Totes keeps it to a basic black backpack that holds a laptop without costing a textbook. Hydration and Snacks is the Stanley Quencher, the Owala FreeSip, and Liquid I.V. for the week everyone in the hall gets sick. Study Tools is notebooks and highlighters, the cheapest section and the one that gets restocked twice a semester. Self-Care is CeraVe and Mighty Patch, the two things every shared bathroom shelf ends up with. And Storage and Lunch is a leak-proof bento box for eating somewhere other than the dining hall and compression packing cubes that make the trip home for a long weekend take one bag instead of three. Prices run from a few dollars for highlighters up to the calculator and the tech, so you can fill in a gap or build the whole cart in one order. Made for first-year students, parents doing a move-in run, grandparents who want to send something useful, and anyone restocking at the start of a semester. Save it now so it is ready the week before move-in instead of the night before.

If you've ever wondered where I get inspiration for my home, this is it. I love relaxed coastal spaces that feel bright, cozy, and timeless (not overly beachy or full of seashells). Before I decorate or buy anything, I always start with these websites, creators, and resources to gather ideas and create a vision for my space. I love saving ideas that bring in natural textures, soft colors, and that relaxed “summer by the ocean” feeling.

I’ve lived in Amsterdam all my life, and these spots keep me coming back as a local! Also trust me, I know Amsterdam can be a bit expensive so most of these fall into a lower range.
