5 Things All Dreamers Need To Know Today
All dreamers NEED a creative outlet. This is why I have been creating different business ideas since I was seven years old. In school, I used to get in trouble for doodling during class, but drawing pictures helped me focus. On the playground, I would sketch and create the next great clothing line that I could sell with my friends. I know that there are many of you like me. Thinking of your next non-profit that you would like to start in order to help people in the world. Staying up late and writing songs, planning for the day when you will get to sing to millions of people. Collaborating…

Advice When Booking an Airbnb You Need Today
I like to go on a lot of trips every year, so I can’t afford staying at expensive hotels. And I don’t like to stay at sketchy ones just to save money. Instead, I always try booking an Airbnb wherever I’m visiting. Most of the time, you can find an Airbnb at a reasonable price and still in great locations. It’s also a fun way to experience the new city from a local’s perspective since you’re living at a home, rather than crashing at a hotel. However, when you’re booking an Airbnb, you need to look for some VERY important things so you have an enjoyable experience. Here are 5…

Road Trip Travel Tips in Croatia
We recently had a wedding in Croatia, which was an AMAZING location for a wedding. Before the ceremony, we had a road trip to get to Dubrovnik, as we landed in Zagreb–the nation’s capital. I have been to many places in Europe and would describe this as the country that combines everything Europe has to offer. I’d never heard of Croatia before, but thanks to Game of Thrones, this has become the new travel destination. It has literally EVERYTHING you would want to see including islands, European history, mountains, beautiful landscapes, and cheap beer. If you are like me, and are not afraid to rent a car in a foreign…

Why You Should Travel in the Off Season
The first time I realized the awesomeness of traveling in the off-season, I was sitting in one of our favorite restaurants in Florence and started perusing the menu. I had been to this restaurant multiple times a week for 5 months, but this time I was thrown off. The prices were higher and the options were fewer. I also noticed that my free wine didn’t flow as freely, and the owner didn’t have time to stop by to say hello. Tourist season had officially begun. I love to travel, and especially love when my travel comes at a discount, so that I can travel more. I almost always travel in…

When to Start Wearing Shapewear
I don’t think the age old question is when should you start wearing shapewear, but it’s definitely up there. When I think of shapewear, I think of looking thinner. Which is how I came to own my first pair of Spanx. After coming home from Italy 30lbs heavier, I thought the shapewear would help wiggle me back into my size 4 pants (Instead, I looked like a beach whale laying on my bed almost in tears when none of my clothes fit). I returned the shorts and have never picked up a pair since. As you may have read in the Benefits of Being in the Buff or Building Body Confidence,…
