I was a destination wedding bride myself and got married in Mexico! It was the most incredible week of my life with 80 of our closest friends and family. Since we didn’t see our venue beforehand (and had to fly to our wedding), here are my favorite items that helped my planning be as smooth as possible!

As the proud owner of the handsomest (I don't make the rules) 4.5 year old Australian Shepherd, we were in the puppy trenches panicking about what we just did (aka get a dog)--fast forward a few years we have an incredibly well behaved, sweet, funny best friend. For any soon to be dog parents, these are our favorite items over the last almost 5 years. Congrats on the new family member!

Coming in at right around 100 books read in 2025, here are the ones that stood out for me!

From Rome to Florence and other areas in between, here are some of my favorite eats in Italy! Reservations strongly encouraged

As someone who has worked in the travel industry for 8 years, here are my favorite items you won't catch me without on my next trip
