Drop a 🤦‍♀️ if you’re never the emergency contact either !

I kind of love this… I’m going to do makeup, styling and outfits next!!!

Here’s the 7 must haves I swear by for products…
@amika - love their hair conditioning mask! 👯

@paulmitchell - You know that super skinny serum smell, everyone knows it!!! It’s SO good, and I’m not apologizing for still using it! 🛍️

@sexyhair - IYKYK. I’d want this in my hair if I were starring in Bridgerton, that spray will LAST! And it gets it up high 😉

@bondisands - obsessed. Always have it on. Yes sometimes my neck is ten shades lighter than my face. It’s my problem not yours boo 👻

@vaselinebrand - I mean she’s a keeper in every situation… she’d be my Wilson 🏀

@freshbeauty - Because she smells delicious and brightens up my face after the sun! 🌞

@ponds - we all need a little nostalgia when stranded… don’t come for me @epicutis_missy 😂😂😂 I loved your cleanser but I gotta try her out for a minute 😂

✨ What else do we need? And yes, sunscreen is like included automatically 😂

✨ Next series … 7 self care products, 7 clothing items, 7 makeup products etc!

Europe from NYC/BOS is not “far.” It’s one red-eye and a decent sleep mask away. Here are 6 of the shortest routes — with a 🔥 Hot tip: for each 👇

🇮🇸 Reykjavik, Iceland (~5–6 hrs)
Glaciers, waterfalls, geothermal everything.
🔥 Hot tip: Go straight from the airport to a lagoon, shower, reset your clock, and push through the first day. Do not nap.

🇵🇹 Azores (~5 hrs from Boston)
Crater lakes, thermal springs, dramatic cliffs.
🔥 Hot tip: Rent the car. The best viewpoints and hidden hot springs are not tour-bus accessible.

🇮🇪 Dublin (~5.5–6 hrs from Boston)
Walkable, friendly, easy Europe entry point.
🔥 Hot tip: Take the DART train to Howth for a coastal cliff walk — 30 minutes and it feels completely different from the city.

🇬🇧 Edinburgh (~6 hrs seasonal)
Castles, cobblestones, Highlands energy.
🔥 Hot tip: Book one small-group Highlands tour early in your trip. The scenery is the real showstopper.

🇵🇹 Lisbon (~6 hrs from Boston)
Tiles, trams, rooftop wine.
🔥 Hot tip: Stay slightly outside the busiest tourist blocks (Alfama/Principe Real). You’ll sleep better and still walk everywhere.

🇫🇷 Paris (~6–6.5 hrs from NYC)
Cafés, museums, long Seine walks.
🔥 Hot tip: Choose one arrondissement per day and linger. Paris rewards slow mornings, not packed itineraries.

Europe is closer than we make it.
If you had 72 hours, which one are you booking first? ✈️

If you’re already packing for 3–4 nights somewhere warm… you could just keep flying!

Lisbon instead of Miami.
Porto instead of Naples.
Barcelona instead of Orlando.
Dublin instead of Key West.
Azores instead of Marco Island.

All direct from the Northeast. ✈️ All completely doable for a 3–4 night long weekend if you leave Thursday night and come back Monday. And they’ll be less expensive than Florida, I guarantee you!

✨These aren’t “two-week Europe trips.” They’re strategic escapes. Shoulder season wins. Little moments to revive yourself… with 3 euro wine and 90 dollar hotels!

✨Florida will still be there next year. But a long weekend in Portugal? That hits differently.

Which one are you booking first? ✈️

If you’re down with these swaps, drop what else you want from me in the comments! Thank y’all !!! 😘😘😘😘

If I had 5 PTO days in 2026, here’s exactly how I’d spend them in the Northeast 👇

Memorial Day – Block Island 🌊
Go: Saturday–Tuesday, May 23–26, 2026
PTO: 1 day (Tuesday)
Opening weekend is wild 🎉 Do it once. Stay through Tuesday when it suddenly feels like your island again.

Early Summer – Fire Island ☀️
Go: Friday night–Tuesday, June 5–9, 2026
PTO: 2 days (Monday, Tuesday)
Long beach days 🏖️ Bikes everywhere 🚲 No cars, no chaos.
Fire Island is my happy place and I will not be elaborating.

July 4th – Water’s Edge Resort & Spa 🎆
Go: Friday–Sunday, July 3–5, 2026
PTO: 0 days
Already a long weekend. Waterfront views 🌅 Fireworks at night ✨ Less crazy than the islands, still feels like a getaway.

Late Summer Weekend – Lake Sunapee 🚤
Go: Friday–Sunday, August 21–23, 2026
PTO: 0 days
Quiet lake energy 🌲 Swim. Paddle. Early dinners. Minimal chaos.

Labor Day – Acadia National Park 🍂
Go: Thursday–Monday, September 3–7, 2026
PTO: 2 days (Thursday, Friday)
Crisp mornings 🌅 Softer crowds. The best way to close out summer.

Total PTO used: 5 days ✅
Summer fully optimized.

✨hey y’all - Let me influence you that you can have an incredible European vacation in just 3 PTO days (or less!) ✈️

✨ Check out my other carousels for other spots (5-6 hour flights) but these are a little further (what’s one more hour for the south of France!) 🇫🇷 so let’s start!

Here are 5 direct flights from BOS/NYC I’d actually book this spring:

☀️ Athens, Greece
Sun and acropolis sunsets …. Island ferry on Monday when the crowds thin. Ancient drama + beach energy. All the Greek men 😘

🌊 Barcelona, Spain
Beach + Gaudí + tapas in one walkable city. For me, it’s the rooftop bars and the inexpensive shopping & hotels.

🌋 Azores (Ponta Delgada)
5 hours from Boston. Waterfalls, crater lakes, hot springs. Wild nature, minimal jet lag. If you’ve been to Iceland, this is next on your list!

🇫🇷 Nice, France
Mediterranean light hits different. Promenade walks, day trip to Èze, rosé by the water…. Maybe a day trip to Monaco?! 🇲🇨

🇩🇰 Copenhagen, Denmark
Clean Nordic spring energy. Bikes, bakeries, harbor swims. Calm, polished, easy. Plenty of English speakers. ✨

How to structure it: Landing day for coffee, happy hour and spas if you are planning any relaxation times.
One big activity.
One tour.
The rest = wandering + eating.

Just remember - No naps. Push through.
Adrenaline of being in Europe + espresso will carry you, I promise!

✨ Share this with that bestie you’re always meaning to go away with! You know who they are! 😘😘😘

No summer break? Me neither!
Here’s exactly what I’d book if I had 5 PTO days this summer — and where I’d stay.

✨ Memorial Day – Block Island
🗓 May 23–26 (1 PTO day)

First time? Book the classic @blockislandbeachhouse near town. It’s a rite of passage.Been before or want more quiet? Skip the center and grab a group Airbnb further out.

🌊Laze on the cliffs. Do a proper mudslide hop…. by Monday lunch time you’ll be able to wander to those untouched stretches of beach where you won’t see anyone for hours. It’s unreal here.

✨ Fire Island – midweek magic
🗓 June 21–23 (2 PTO days)

✨ If you’ve never been to Fire Island, just go. You’ll get it the moment you arrive on that wide open beach.

✨Places are small and pricey, I would stay in Ocean Bay Area, skip over to the pines and cherry grove for some fun nights!

✨ FYI, if you didn’t know, Fire Island is is the iconic summer getaway for LGBTQIA communities. It’s super family friendly, and the different areas go from wild day dance parties to wading pools and full family energy! 🌊

🌊Open ocean. No cars. Boardwalk mornings.
It feels like you left to paradise.

✨ July 4th – Westbrook, CT
🗓 July 3–5 (0 PTO days)

Stay at @watersedgeresortandspa - I’ve stayed here on repeat and once you get a waterfront villa… there’s no going back!

✨ Late August – Lake Placid
🗓 August 21–23 (0 PTO days)

Stay at @bluebirdhotels Lake Placid

One-minute walk downtown. Quiet. Gorgeous renovation. That air is healing. ❤️‍🩹

✨ Labor Day – Acadia Maine
🗓 September 3–7 (2 PTO days)

Stay at Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park.

Waterfront. Super heated pool + hot tub.
Almost to have that resort energy for Maine — and I love it.
Crisp air. Incredible hiking.
🥾 Sunset over sunrise at Cadillac mountain - just drive down a little and enjoy the gorgeous sunset rather than from the summit where it is more blocked (summit is for sunrise!)

Total PTO used: 5 days, 5 weekends. All planned out!

✨ Comment more if you want alternate options, save and share with someone who has decision fatigue! 🤦‍♀️

✨y’all , photography is about a few principles and a lot of practice! You’re taking the photos anyway so might as well step it up and try to take them with classic photography principles in mind!
✨ Today’s lesson, all about the subject. Identify a subject, put it in one of the four intersecting corners of your grid, and give it room to breathe.
✨ Next up, perspective, leading lines and framing !!

✨ Find this helpful? Let me know what else you like!
😘 d

If you’re going to gorgeous places and your photos still feel… meh 😅 it’s not your phone.

Your phone is wildly capable. You just need a few tips! ✨

3 things I always start with:

✨ Composition — decide what the subject is and remove distractions. Move your feet. Simplify the background. If it feels chaotic, it probably is.

✨ Rule of thirds — turn your grid on 📱 and stop centering everything by default. Slightly off-center almost always feels more elevated!

✨ Place your subject in the bottom two thirds — especially for travel shots 🌎 Give the sky, mountains, or architecture space above them. That negative space creates scale and makes the scene feel expansive.

✨ take a 30 second pause next time you take a photo, think through what the subject is, put it in one of the bottom 2/3 corners and see how those look!
✨ Next time, leading lines, framing and perspective!
And tell me — are you a centered shooter or an off-center one? 👀

Work fit!
