Things To Do in Galveston, Texas + Where to Eat and Stay

Glaveston, TX

My husband and I took a short trip to Galveston, Texas at the end of July to getaway before I started a new job and soak in some sun and ocean air. I had heard from many Texas-natives that it isn't that great and there's not many things to do in Galveston. BUT, it seems like they've been fixing it up a bit and adding new and trendy places to the little beach town! I'd say it's a great place for Texans to go for a beach fix. Like I mentioned, we were only there for a short time (Wednesday afternoon to Friday midday), so we didn't get to do everything that we wa[...]

Instagrammable Places in Dallas, Texas

Dallas, TX

When people think of Dallas, TX they probably don't immediately think of it as a super cute and instagrammable city. But they would be wrong! My husband and I moved to the Dallas area in June 2021 and started visiting a year before then, and over time I've realized just how fun, beautiful, and artsy this city really is. With so many people moving here, it seems like they're really developing and redeveloping Dallas and its surrounding areas, so there's always new spots popping up! Being said, in this post I'm sharing all the Instagrammable places in Dallas that I[...]

Wedding Wednesday: Palm Springs Bachelorette Weekend

Since we're currently in one of the peak engagement and wedding planning seasons, I thought I would finally share my Palm Springs bachelorette weekend details! In April last year, my maid of honor, 2 close friends and I went to Palm Springs, CA and stayed at The Saguaro Hotel for one night. I've been to that hotel many many times for events or just photos, but had never actually stayed there until then so I was super excited. The Saguaro is one of the most Instagrammable places in Palm Springs, so it was perfect for me :) My maid of honor, Jordan, organized[...]

Summer Adventures with Viakix Sandals

It's officially summer, which means it's time for adventure! I always love summer road trips, camping trips, and just getting outside, even if it's just the nature preserve next to where we live. With that, it's important to have the right shoes for exploring. I recently got a pair of Viakix sandals and in all honesty, they are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn! I may end up wearing them even just when running errands 🙈 I'm wearing the Siena style in blue and I love the geometric print on the bands (which have stretch btw!) Not only does Viaki[...]

Instagrammable Places In Austin, TX

Austin, TX

My husband and I drove down to Austin this past weekend as a little pre-birthday getaway! This was my first time actually visiting Austin, besides when my friend and I checked out South Congress for a few hours a few months ago. I love visiting new places, and have had some Instagrammable places in Austin saved on Instagram for quite a while now, so I was super excited to go! Below are some of the spots we hit up, including the hotel we stayed at which was so cute! Since Austin is only about 3.5 hours away from us, I'm hoping to head down there every few month[...]
