Iceland Packing List: For Her
Disclosure: Thank you to Backcountry and ShopStyle for sponsoring today’s post. No, I’m still not done reliving our Iceland adventures. If only I could be back there right now standing in front of a waterfall drinking whiskey in my coffee, oh the stuff dreams are made of. If you recall in my complete Iceland guide post,…
Your Complete Iceland Travel Guide [What to do, where to eat, what to wear]
Oh, Iceland. What started out as a simple note in a gift bag tucked under the Christmas tree last year turned out to be one of the best vacations that Shawn and I have ever been on together! We are typically beach people [pass the pina colada, please] so when we decided to venture off…
Planning Our Trip to Iceland
We’re Headed to Iceland… Every once in awhile that husband of mine gets a wild hair in him and does something very unexecuted and out of the blue. Insert Christmas of 2017. As I opened my last gift, I unfolded a piece of paper that showed pictures of Iceland. I was so confused. Iceland? What’s…
Packing Tips For Your Next Vacation
I’m that girl when packing – the kind that waltzes her way into the bedroom and believes that it’s only going to take approximately 20 minutes to throw some things in a suitcase and then be on her merry way. Except then reality hits about 5 minutes in and I’m laying on the floor begging for…
Warm Weather Outfits For Your Next Vacation
It’s no secret that I love nothing more than a good ole tropical vacation – hand me a pina colada poolside with a book in my hand and absolutely nothing on the agenda other than a beachside dinner and I’m 100% in my element. Then again, who isn’t in their element when they are responsible…
48 Hours in Austin, TX [What to Eat, What to Do, What to Wear]
Last weekend my family and I ventured off for an adults only trip to Austin, TX for a short but fun filled 48 hours. After a canceled flight on the way out [really cool, fog] we got in late on Friday night and departed Monday afternoon which meant one thing – we had 8 meals…
WHAT TO PACK FOR YOUR NEXT VACATION
Current situation: sitting here in a cozy cardigan, long sleeve tee, leggings, slippers, socks and a fresh cup of coffee in hopes of not freezing my head off. Outside it’s snowy and icy [fun!] and 100% grey skies. The mere mention of a vacation makes me want to spin in circles, throw on a bikini…
Chicago Girls Getaway Weekend – Where To Stay, What To Do, Where To Eat, Etc
A weekend or two ago, myself and four of the loveliest little ladies ventured off to Chicago for a complete girls weekend getaway. It all happened because of our recent 200,000 Facebook follower giveaway where the idea was to pick one winner and a person of their choice to join us [the LIY team] for a…

![What a week 💐 Work was c-r-a-z-y, I turned another year older [oh hey 3️⃣3️⃣], I celebrated with cocktails, I slept, I read [When Life Hands You Lululemons and yes, I totally recommend] and I was filmed for an interview sometime in between all of that. The final question of the interview was “what do you want to leave behind as your legacy?” The question was intended to be from a business perspective but the first thing that came to my mind were my precious little nieces and nephews and what I want those kids to remember me as and what I hope to instill in their lives. Needless to say, my eyes immediately filled with tears and I sat there silent not wanting to answer because I knew the floodgates would open. It was a question that struck me and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. As for work? I truly hope that because of this space, a woman [or three] spirit has felt lighter after visiting LIY, that I can help curate a community that allows individuals to not feel alone and that when you have a date night, a high school reunion or a Saturday soccer game to attend that we played a small part in helping you feel confident and beautiful in whatever it is you are wearing.
