Do you still use books to research travel or do you solely use the internet? I have to confess. I still love a good travel book. I’m headed to Sri Lanka soon, and picked up this one up to cram a little before my trip. I’ve listed some of my favorite travel books, and also a few of my favorite maxi skirts below.

Happy Monday! Not trying to brag, but I worked out three times last week! I know it’s not a lot, but it’s a big step up from doing nothing. Just a little reminder to celebrate the small wins, progress is progress. Starting small still counts… at least that’s what I like to tell myself! My goal this week is to keep it up! 🤞 #mondaymood #mondaymotivation #momlifebelike #littlewins

Slowly, adding spooky touches all around the home

This is seriously the best massager ever. It sticks right onto your skin, vibrates and heats. It’s been a lifesaver on our tuk tuk journey around Sri Lanka.

My new toy for my upcoming trip to Sri Lanka! So excited to share my 360 footage!!

#LTKTravel

This is an easy and fun way to add a little witchy vibe to any room. I figure I’m already using my essential oil diffuser. Why not make it spooky!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFallSale #LTKHome

I’m definitely taking this with me on my upcoming trip to Sri Lanka, since I’ll probably be in the sun daily! I have a link below and it’s under $25!!

Twinning is winning with sweatshirts this cute! My daughter had this first, and I thought it was so cute that I had to get one for myself as well.

Turn ordinary Dollar tree skulls into elaborate sugar skulls with these great acrylic markers that I found

I am so excited for our Halloween tunnel this year. It won’t be a spooky as other years, but will sure be festive and fun. #halloweendecor

‘tis the season for apple crisp! It’s so delicious and incredibly easy to make. I’ve linked a bunch of cute fall, baking dishes that this crisp would look scrumptious in.

This was an easy and inexpensive way to really give our side patio some new life. We did this a couple months ago and it still is holding up great. We used Behr’s masonry and stucco paint from Home Depot. I have the full set of instructions at stayingblonde.com.

I am so happy I was able to make this vision a reality - the best part is that it was not hard at all. I have the full set of directions at stayingblonde.com.

This hanging wisteria in my daughter’s room is one of my favorite DIY projects. It turned out so sweet and wasn’t that hard to make. Just a sidenote, make sure you grab a feather duster to dust it about once a week.

I love my smoothies! I’ve been wearing these patches at night and they have smoothed out all my fine lines and wrinkles. They come in all shapes and sizes for all areas of the face. I have them all linked below. #smoothies #smoothiesskin @smoothiesskin

#sponsored Smoothies work! I can’t believe I saw a difference after only one night of wear. I’ve been wearing them every night since and I can definitely tell that my wrinkles and fine lines have been reduced. @smoothiesskin #smoothies #smoothiesskin

I love my Plumeria plants. I get a cutting every time I go to Hawaii and I love watching my little sticks Bloom.

Here is how we make our Halloween tunnel. Every year is a new theme. We’re still trying to nail down what we’re doing this Halloween. I have the instructions and the full supply list at Stayingblonde.com.

#LTKHome #LTKParties #LTKSeasonal

Believe it or not, this tunnel is incredibly easy and inexpensive to build. The bones are built with pvc piping and rebar. I have the supplies linked below and the full set of instructions are at stayingblonde.com

I just highlighted my hair at home and I couldn’t be happier. Save myself $300 at the salon!

#LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBeauty

I use L’Oreal Frost and Design, and I think it turned out great. It’s actually made for longer hair I have it linked below.

Who else is ready for cozy evenings by the fire watching movies? I have my screen, projector and firepit linked below

Nothing beats a good linen skirt on a hot humid day

Home again, home again, jiggety jig. Slowly blending back into daily life after the trip of a lifetime. Thanks for indulging all my Japan content... it’s been such a joy to create, and honestly, a welcome distraction from the fact that both my kids started high school this week. 😭 Yep… we now have a senior and a freshman in the house, and I’m feeling ALL the feels.

Speaking of Japan… had to show off my new Onitsuka Tigers I scored in Tokyo. I LOVE them and seriously wish I bought more (don’t even get me started on how much we brought home, let’s just say two extra duffle bags were involved ).

This pink tunic, however, is not from Japan, it’s a recent online find that I’m smitten with. What do you think?Is it a keeper? I’ve linked it on my LTK and it comes in all the colors.

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50

Obsessed with this new tunic outfit. It’s just so unique and fun. Better yet the shorts have pockets! 🤩

#LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50

An umbrella on a sunny day? Yep! Especially in Japan in the summer! This little umbrella saved me from the heat. It’s the best. It’s compact, lightweight, and folds up super tiny to fit into your backpack.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKTravel

If you are headed to Japan during the summer months, definitely get one of these! Our UV umbrellas saved us. They really cut down on the intense summer heat from the sun. These are super compact, lightweight, and fold up really small to fit into your backpack. They are perfect. #summertravel

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKTravel

The shoes that got me through Japan - 25,000 steps a day for 10 days, and no blisters! Seriously, these are the best

#LTKActive #LTKTravel #LTKFindsUnder100

this is everything I'm taking to Japan for 12 days. What do you think? Too much? Too little? What am I missing? #travel #packing #summertravel #japan

#LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel

I was influenced. I had to get this adult tanning pool and I love it!! If you need me this summer, this is where you’ll find me

#LTKSwim #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKSeasonal

Can’t wait to fill this cute cooler up with drinks for the 4th!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKParties

Happy Summer! I feel like I wait all year long to come alive these next few months. I love wearing my whites, my linens, and now my new favorite - crinkle gauze! I love this crinkly gauze material because it gives you the look and breathability of linen, but doesn’t wrinkle like linen does. I wore this outfit on the plane and I looked just as refreshed after a six hour flight as I did before I left.

#LTKTravel #LTKSummerEdit #LTKStyleTip

I love this new brow pen by L’Oreal. It draws fine little hair is on that looks so realistic and good.

Summer has started early in our backyard.

These are our travel must-haves and essentials for every trip. Most of these come in handy for international travel, especially when traveling with only a carry-on.

Such a fun, eclectic dress for spring and summer
