My husband and I love going out and about…but, don't really enjoy large crowds, difficult parking, long lines, etc. So, here's a currated list of places we enjoy that avoid the hassles of being too “peoply.”

The Laurel Highlands in southwestern Pennsylvania includes Fayette, Somerset, and Westmoreland Counties. Located about 55 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, the area is centered on Laurel Hill and Chestnut Ridge in the Allegheny Mountains. These mountains are the tallest in the state, with Mount Davis in Somerset County, Pennsylvania's highest point at 3,213 feet. The region features several homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, including his most famous, Fallingwater. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to the Laurel Highlands for camping, hiking, mountain biking, hunting, whitewater kayaking, trout fishing, wildlife watching, downhill and cross-country skiing, and golfing.

I’m big on natural makeup and like to own products that work for every occasion. These are my new(ish) holy grail makeup and priming products that I can’t get enough of and that I’m definitely taking into 2026. New discoveries only.

My favorite Maine and Coastal inspired products that will dress up your space or be a perfect gift for other Coastal lovers in your life. Featuring home goods, cute pet finds, beach and camping essentials.

If you agree that lips can make or break your look, you’ve come to the right person. I’ve tried so many different lip products in my mission to perfect my lip combo while also having it last, and I’ve discovered many different lip products that I not only love but last me all day! I love all of these products for their consistency, performance, colour, or all of the above and highly recommend!

I've been living in Thailand for more than one year and have visited Bangkok at least 5 times now! This guide includes some of the best places I've stayed, best restaurants I've visited and some of my favourite things to do!

It is easy to start learning or improving your watercolor with a lot of great artists on Youtube offering free tutorials to try. Here is a list of artists whose tutorials I have tried (examples are my paintings following the tutorials) and loved.

Western wear with a lot of summer mixed in! Lots of vintage styles and good quality recommendations.

Every dinner party used to leave me hiding in the kitchen, stressed about timing, running out of plates, and forgetting someone's drink. If you're the person who hosts out of obligation but secretly hates every second of prep — this is the exact lineup that turned me into someone who actually looks forward to having people over. Took me two years of awkward gatherings to nail this down so you don't have to.

Hey there, future film mogul! My go-to guide has some of the best websites, blogs, and online resources to help you get started on your film journey.

Regular travel blogs kept recommending the same touristy dumpling spots — meanwhile the real stuff was hidden down alleys I walked past twice before noticing. This is for anyone planning a China trip who wants to eat what locals actually eat, not what gets posted on Instagram. Took me three separate trips and a lot of pointing at menus I couldn't read to put this together.

These are my go-to retailers. I have noted any sales (will update frequently to keep up!) and why I shop there. If you have any questions about anything, drop me a comment.

Curated for readers who love emotional, character-driven small town love stories with strong themes of home, healing, and second chances. Each pick echoes the road-trip, found-family, or runaway vibes that make The Runaways: A Small Town Romance Series so engaging.

Football fashion without being too frilly. I love a football jerseys, but I prefer to be comfortable and have something I can style a little bit.

The best new arrivals in curve and plus right now Curve, and Universal Standard. Wrap dresses that fit like they were made for you, satin maxis that show up to the occasion, linen pieces for the heat, and jeans that sit exactly where they should. Sizes across the board, no compromises, all the kind of thing you keep in rotation for months.

As a family we try to vacation at least once a year even if its just for a weekend getaway. Here are some places we have found that we love and would go back to over and over if we get the chance…Some are must see adventures with some incredible views and scenery and others are fun for the kiddos.

Not every place needs to be 5 or even 4 stars. It’s all about cleanliness and comfort!

My opinions and rankings for the 2025 Met Gala looks. There were a lot of good outfits this year, I thought the theme was kinda weird though. It was about Black Dandyism, which doesn't have the best origins. Black celebrities did a great job but for everyone else, it was kind of awkward for the theme and people just did suits or were off-theme. I think it was a very empowering theme, I liked it.

Iceland is on my (and lots of people's!) bucket list, not only to visit during the fall/winter/spring to view the magnificent Northern Lights, but to hike/trek the beautiful landscapes of the ‘land of fire and ice’.

As a teacher, I spend most of my summer off with my kids. This year, we won't be traveling as much so I want to make sure our yard is the perfect place for us to relax and have fun! These have been some of our favorite products so far.

Just a little something to help you get into a silly goofy mood. You'll miss me with reality TV or crazy intense or dramatic shows. These are in no particular order

Fall baby? Don’t fret. Our little pumpkin is turning one. Celebrate in the most festive way. Collect your pumpkins, add your cider, make the crafts and enjoy your pumpkin spice. I can smell the crisp air coming 🍂 I’ve been dreaming of an October baby my whole life, and here she is. 🫶🏼

Beautiful small city vibes close to the beach. Also included some of my favorite food places to check out while in the area.

I worked as a supporting artist/extra on set for many major feature films, TV series and commercials in London for many years before deciding to advance in my career as an actor. These are tips and tricks I wish I knew sooner!

A curated stack of funny, emotionally chaotic romances centered on difficult men, messy women, and over-the-top situations. Ideal if you love sharp banter, found family drama, and high-heat, high-feelings romantic comedies.

Content Creators need the essentials. Whether you are making videos for yourself and for fun or if you are doing it for a business. Here are a few things that I use daily and I highly recommend them.

I LIVE for all types of storage! Big storage, little storage, convenient storage, food storage, clothing storage, etc! If I can make extra space or clean up the space I already have, I’m going to do just that! If a product will make my life a little bit easier, sign me up!

Started with one pair of silver hoops and somehow ended up here — my whole wardrobe, apartment, and gift-giving strategy revolves around silver now. If you're the person who gravitates toward cool tones and metallic shimmer but your collection still feels scattered, this is the lineup that finally made everything click. Took me two years of impulse buys to narrow it down so you don't have to.

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!
