Double tap if this reminds you of Ube ice cream 💜✨
(a d) I played around with SO many different designs and color combinations. It was really fun to do! I love how mine came out!! I adore everything ube and purple is one of my favorite colors 😆. And how cute is the pink lining?! 😍
You can also customize the monogram for free! Plus, if you’re an over-packer like me, you’ll love the compression system.
With the monogram and customized colors, no one will mistake your luggage as theirs ever again!

Who would you take with you? ✨
Waikiki Beach is Hawaii’s most visited beach. Not only does it boast white sand beaches and turquoise waters, it also hosts numerous restaurants, hotels and designer shops (including Chanel, Gucci, Dior, Hermes and Louis Vuitton). Did you know that some of these designer shops sell goods that cost less than the mainland?! Plus tax is only 4.5%!
Happy Sunday!!

We’ve always known about Costco Travel (which is exclusively for Costco members), but never used it. When my sister found this deal in January we knew we couldn’t pass it up!
We also got approx $100 gift card per room and no resort fees! We flew from LAX direct to Honolulu with roundtrip and stayed at Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach. We booked a premier oceanfront king room and an ocean view room with 2 queen beds.
The package deal came with shared roundtrip transport, but we opted to upgrade to a rental car instead (which is included in the $5,300 final price we paid).
We’ve been to Oahu four times and absolutely love it there. I’ll be sharing more about our experiences so I hope you follow along!
Have you used Costco Travel in the past ❓

How to get to Boracay Island⤵️✨
✈️ point of entry is Caticlan Airport (about an hour from Manila)
🚐 travel a couple of minutes by car or etrike to Caticlan Jetty Port
💲 purchase ferry tickets and pay for jetty port terminal fee and environmental fee
⛴️ boat ride takes about 10 minutes to get to Boracay Island
🚐 take another car or etrike to get to your accommodation
Seems complicated because it is 😆. And the port gets very chaotic when crowded.
My husband made sure our experience was smooth and easy by booking a private van and a private boat round trip (for the 4 of us) via for less than $200. Private transportation can be booked separately.
Designated staff met us at every point and assisted with every step. Best decision ever!
Do you think $200 for 4 people is worth the private service?

Had the most amazing stay in San Marcos, California [hosted]. Only a short drive south of Los Angeles and north of San Diego, this family-friendly gem of a resort is the perfect getaway!
There are s’mores in each room to use on the property’s 3 fire pits, complimentary use of kayaks or SUPs an hour a day (per stay), two swimming pools and a whirlpool bath, and a championship golf course at St. Mark Gold Club!
Stay tuned for a reel in the coming days for more details and clips of the property!

This opera house gave me Beauty & the Beast vibes!!!
The entrance to the Grand Foyer in the last photo sits directly behind me in the first photo. This room will leave you in absolutely awe. The chandeliers are beyond stunning. Definitely one of my favorite places in Paris!!
Have I convinced you to see it yet?!
As a reminder, purchase tickets online ahead of time! Disclaimer: No editing/erasing of crowds required. It really was this empty because we were the first ones inside and upstairs at 10am 😁

LOVED our stay at this resort in Sacred Valley, Peru✨
In order to acclimate to the elevation and avoid altitude sickness, we stayed in Sacred Valley for a few days.
The rooms, the service, the property and the complimentary buffet breakfast were all impeccable. We couldn’t have chosen a better resort
