Big Hair, Don't Care

It's no secret that I LOVE volume in my hair. When I was younger, I thought that volume in my hair only happened if I did a crap ton of teasing/back combing. Little did I know that using the right products can help aid in getting GREAT body and texture in my hair.

Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018

Last night, Roberto and I went to a coffee shop where we talked about our goals for the upcoming year.

Here are some accomplishments and best moments of 2017, as well as the top post you guys have liked in my short four months of blogging.

Holiday Outfit Ideas + Accessories

Who doesn't love a great outfit for Christmas? I usually tend to dress up for Christmas Eve then go a bit more casual for Christmas day.

Winter Weekend Getaway: Niagara Falls

  Last weekend Roberto and I decided to do a semi-spontaneous trip to Niagara Falls. We left Friday evening, and arrived to Ontario around 7:30pm that evening. Now anyone that knows Roberto and I, knows that Roberto is usually the one to plan our trips since he is much more well traveled than I am. However, this time -- I planned the trip. Well, kind of. Ha!

I was afraid. Wait, let me rephrase that -- I was terrified my first time I went abroad.

Why you ask? Well for starters it was something new for me -- going abroad that is. New things scare

The Proposal

It's every girl's dream -- wondering who, when, how, and what their engagement will look like. I remember being younger thinking of all the possibilities and thinking that my fiancé could literally be anywhere in the world.
