Twillys are a fun way to customize and dress up your bags. So I wanted to share 8 ways to tie an Hermes Twilly on your bag handles to give you some inspiration. It's up to you if you want to tie a twilly on one or both handles of your bags. In my personal opinion, I think you either wrap a twilly around each handle or none at all. Having a twilly on your bag handles will protect the leather. Therefore, you will get inconsistent wear on your handles if they're not on both. But if you're just looking to get one twilly to decorate your bag with many of these ways to tie an Hermes twilly work great as any accessory to your bag. If you're not concerned about wear on your bag handles, I highly recommend giving these a try! And the beauty about these is you can always switch them up! They're super easy to do, and don't take much time, so on ... Read more...
Eat, Shop, Do: Avalon, Catalina Island

I'll start by saying that just like when we were in Canada renting certain baby items is totally the way to go. We ... Read more...
Whole30 Final Comparison and Thoughts
The 30 days are over and I'm feeling motivated to keep eating Whole30 as much as I can without letting it consume me. My last few days on the Whole30 were spent on vacation with my family and it was proving to be a little more difficult to eat out in an area that's not Santa Cruz. I was able to get by, but I was feeling very much OVER eggs and like some of my food requests/questions regarding how the food is prepared were not as well accepted as when I ordered out back home. After the Whole30 was over I did indulge a little because ... Read more...

Valentine's Day is right around the corner so I thought I'd start to share some outfit ideas with you. My theme this year for all my V-Day looks is pink and red.

It's also Justin's first week starting Santa Clara County's fire academy. So as you can imagine, I definitely will not be going out for Valentine's Day on Valentine's Day. But here's an adorable option for a date night dress if you are ... Read more...
