My Travel Journey & The Lessons I’ve Learned Along the Way

You know how people say someone was born to do something? Oh, she was born to be a star. They were born to be a singer. Well me? I can't hold a tune in a bucket and as far as being a star, in middle school, I used to put on a skit for my parents called the Young & the Cluessless. It was quite a hit, but that was the extent of my stardom. I wasn't born to do those things. But, what I was born to do was explore. To journey. To wander...

Date Night Cooking Class at Big Green Egg

Date Night Cooking Class with Big Green Egg

As the weather begins to change, the temps begin to drop, and the days become shorter, it's so easy to fall into that routine of languid listlessness, where all you want to do is curl up on the sofa, with a comfy blanket, a box of pizza, and have a good Netflix and chill sesh with bae. Right? Right. But, that does not have to be your life for the next how many ever weeks until warm weather blesses us again. Atlanta is too much of a vibrant city for you to spend your nights...

Road Tripping to Myrtle Beach in the Mazda3

You guys know I love a good road trip, so when my brother asked if I wanted to hit the highway and drive up to Myrtle Beach for the weekend, I was all game! Naturally, I was excited about the beach, but I was also super stoked to partner with one of my favorite companies and test out the new 2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring. Before I go on and on about my obsession with this car, because hatchback, let me just give you a little back story. Though my brother and I used to travel with...

Friend’s Weekend Getaway in the North Georgia Mountains with Mazda

Friend's Weekend Getaway in the North Georgia Mountains with Mazda6

I often joke that I can take a trip down the street and around the corner and I would be happy. I absolutely love car rides and road trips. No matter how near or far. I was that kid that any time I heard keys jingle I'd come half running, half hopping while hurriedly putting on my shoes, asking where are we going? We could have been on the highway to Hell-o; it didn't matter, as long as I was along for the ride. So, two of the best things that ever could have happened...

This post is in collaboration with Mazda & DriveShop I'm pretty sure we've all had that ONE thing that we wanted more than anything else in the world as a kid. That thing that may have been a little ostentatious; yet, we begged and pleaded with our parents and would almost give life and limb for it, if that's what it required. Maybe for you it was a treehouse, or pony, or the entire Mighty Morphing Power Rangers collection (because let's be honest, who didn't want to be a Power Ranger?). For me, it was a...

What’s in My Bag? The 5th Co. Essential

What's in My Bag? The 5th Co. Essential

I have been known to be a notorious overpacker, and when it has come to my everyday bag it's been no different. My parents used to teasingly ask, "What do you have in that suitcase?" (referring to my purse/bag), and to that I would respond, "My life, duh." I like being prepared. I mean, you just never know when you might need those pair of socks in your purse to double as gloves because it's the dead of winter and you forgot your real gloves at home. You were running late, didn't have time to let...
