THE SEARCH FOR THE 16X14X12
As I talked about previously, my one new irritation with Spirit Airlines is the carry-on policy.

For the first time EVER, I OVER PACKED! That’s right, you read right…I over packed! I bought all these cutesy Hawaii type outfits to end up wearing nothing, but my Reebox Fit Sneakers (which I love and adore), tank tops, and shorts.

Maui is Definitely WOWIE….yes, I can be that lame!

Whats In Your Travel Bag?
I have always loved the blogs based on this, especially the makeup ones, so I couldn’t wait to do it myself. I am a kind of a voyeur when it comes to what other people take with them. I will plan for weeks what goes into my bag and although I always plan to just [...]

Planning for San Francisco (minus the Pea)…le sigh!
Okay so I know this is not a “girl-getaway”, but it is my first getaway with my gentlemen suitor, so I thought what the hell, I will blog about it anyway and I have never been to San Francisco. I will adjust accordingly to the girls! As some of you know, the fun for [...]
