the frequent flyer edit: flight & travel essentials
my non-negotiable carry-on holy grails. everything here is TSA-approved, packed with purpose, and tested to ensure you land looking and feeling ready to take on your destination
I love this cover up because the bottoms are low coverage, so I could cover-up, but still function in the water
Stella Mini Skirt
perfect for a boat day in Puerto Rico
Stella String Top
This carry-on has seen so many cities and countries. I love the bright blue because it's easy to spot (and my sorority colors!)
BÉIS 'The Carry-On Roller' in Cobalt Blue
a staple in my travel morning routine. after long days of exploring and even longer nights out, these instantly de-puff and bring my skin back to life so I actually look refreshed. I let these marinate while I sip my morning coffee, eat breakfast, an...

puerto rico princess: san juan edit
Such an enganging class! Bring a sweater if you get cold. A great introduction if you're interested in mixology/bartending. Would definitely do it again just for the vibes.
Mixology Class at Casa BACARDÍ in Puerto Rico - Viator
This was our first restaurant in San Juan and it was delicious!!!! Beautiful views, near the beach, delicious food (and strong drinks.) Would recommend for a casual dinner in Puerto Rico

proof that you should always trust local recommendations! our photographer suggested Condado Beach for our sunset photoshoot and hit the nail on the head. you get sweeping, wide-open views of the sunset over the water and plenty of room to spread out...
Condado Beach
trendy tourist midtown NYC guide
the vibe: it's earthy, lush, and high-energy. as a Capricorn, I absolutely loved the grounding, green aesthetic (think Say Less from Love Island USA S8).
why go: great place, even better DJ playing back-to-back hits, and an amazing staff. they were super attentive with refills and keeping our hookah fresh all night.
Do NOT skip the fries. Whatever sauce they serve with them completely elevated the dish!

Pergola
the vibe: upscale Mediterranean atmosphere with a great evening flow. my Pisces Venus was in absolute heaven with the lush, dreamy coastal mood.
why go: it's a close second to Pergola if you want a polished lounge experience with incredible drinks and an effortless romantic energy. the cucumber cocktail was hands down one of the most refreshing, perfectly balanced drinks I’ve had in NYC!

Mira Mediterranean & Hookah Lounge
the vibe: fast-casual, trendy, and constantly buzzing.
why go: don't let the simplicity fool you; it lived up to the hype without an unreasonable markup. even with a crowd, the line moved impressively fast.
I kept it classic with a toasted butter bagel. the dough texture is elite!

Apollo Bagels
the vibe: boutique chic in an prime Midtown location.
why go: I personally prefer boutique hotels, and this one didn't disappoint! It’s just a couple of blocks from the NYPL (for my fellow bookworms) with super easy subway access right through Bryant Park and endless dining options nearby.
room tip: rooms are on the smaller side, but the storage design is impressive. drawers and smart spaces to neatly stash your shoes, bags, and everyday toiletries.

The Draper New York, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
san antonio staycations
this is perfect staycation moment for on-the-go creatives who need a fast battery recharge. snagging a pool day pass here gave me all the luxury resort energy without the overnight price tag. The space is spotless, the service is quick and attentive,...
