While in Mexico this month we had the pleasure of exploring Sian Ka’an Biosphere reserve. The boat tour took us over cenotes to watch manatees play, thru crocodile infested mangroves, past partially submerged Mayan ruins and giant eagles nests perched on driftwood over the water, then to the beach and finally to a foot path that…
Lake Bled, Slovenia
Slovenia totally caught me off guard. If I am honest, Slovenia wasn’t anywhere near the top of my list of “places to visit”. In fact, I don’t think it was on my “list of places” to visit at all. I think that was because I didn’t realize the beauty she had within her until we decided…

What in the world am I?!?!??
I am sooo excited to share that I got my DNA results back last week!!! I not only found out about my ancestry but I also got my “vitality report”. A vitality report is a snapshot that explains the best diet plan for you, if you may be lactose or gluten intolerant, if you are…
Ancestry Travel
As many of you know, I am absolutely fascinated by genealogy. I started my own personal heritage research and journey around the world about 17 years ago. Though my obsession with my background began at a much younger age. I remember the first time I had to make a family tree in Jr high school…
Natural Beauty – At home AND On the go
I often get asked which brand of beauty and body care products I use and to be honest, I don’t really have a wildly elaborate beauty regime. Over time, I have tried different brands for different needs and if they work, I stick to them. I even enjoy making my own products using essential oils….
3 Places to visit where the US dollar will go far
Mexico Mexico has always been one of my favorite destinations and the fact that it is so inexpensive helps to make it a more realistic goal year after year. I know that most of my readers are American and lucky for us, we can fly to Mexico from pretty much anywhere in the USA for fairly…
