Take It Easy | Joshua Tree Airbnb

I recently stayed at the Cactus Moon Retreat in Yucca Valley, which is just outside of Joshua Tree National Park. The decor was so cute and the epitome of boho California cool. You can see a tour of the rest of the house here. It's seriously the perfect Joshua Tree Airbnb if you're traveling with a group! Photos by Ariel Rae Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there!!

The Cactus Moon Retreat in Yucca Valley

Yucca Valley, CA

I am so excited today about giving y'all a massive tour of the Cactus Moon Retreat! I stayed here with Taylor & Ariel last week in Yucca Valley, CA (right outside of Joshua Tree National Park) and it was so magical (watch Tay's vlog from the trip HERE). Lately, I've realized that there's something so serene and captivating about the desert, which is why I keep going back. I hadn't been to Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree in almost a year and a half and was very excited to be back and explore more! Cactus Moon Retreat is a "mid-century jewel with a privat[...]

Boho Maxi Dress + Trusting God in the Chaos

Yucca Valley, CA

Last week I ventured out to Joshua Tree with two friends, Taylor Love & Ariel Rae. We stayed at the Cactus Moon Retreat (check out more posts from my stay here), and I was prepared to do just that--retreat (besides when we were taking pictures). Life has been a little crazy lately, so I was excited to intentionally take time to escape "real life" a little bit... but that definitely didn't happen. Two weeks ago, my friend asked me to step up to lead our life group, which I was honestly terrified to do, but knew I had to. One week later was our first week ba[...]

Palm Print Top

Last week I ventured down to San Diego for the day with my friend @taylor_lovee to meet up with @worldwidestylista to go to the Carlsbad Flower Fields and Holy Matcha (as seen below). I had seen this place all over Instagram, and with its palm print wallpaper and pink & gold decor, I instantly new I had to visit. Forget the fact that I'm not a big fan of matcha, I just wanted to get some snaps for the IG (#doitforthegram). This place was serious interior goals and basically what my dream home/bedroom would look like. I bought this cute palm print top to we[...]

My Cinco de Mayo Fiesta!

For the past few years, I've wanted to host a Cinco de Mayo fiesta, but just never got around to it. I finally decided that I was going to make it happen this year, and it ended up being so much fun! For the most of the party/entertaining posts I've done here on AGU, I didn't actually have the party. So this year I decided to invite a few of my best friends over to partake in the festivities! We had so much fun being silly while taking pictures and sipping margaritas. The menu consisted of tacos, chips and guac, and margaritas. I forgot to warm up the cor[...]
