I don’t think there’s anything better than getting your hair refreshed while yapping & sipping on a cocktail.

I’ve always loved my hair lighter, but I wanted something a little more natural and easier to upkeep, and Bloom Salon absolutely nailed it.

The salon is directly behind Cabana Club and you can order cocktails from Cabana Club to sip on during your service. Truly my kind of salon experience.

I love my hair so much, I have teamed up with Salon Bloom for a fun giveaway. So stay tuned thats coming VERY soon!

Photo girlies, save this one for your next trip to New York.

I’ve always loved the magic of a photobooth, a few silly little photos that somehow become a memory you keep forever.

So of course I had to visit AUTOPHOTO while I was in NYC… and loved it enough to go back twice.

📍Autophoto
121 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002
Tuesday–Sunday | 12–10 PM
Most photobooths are $8

Definitely one to add to your NYC itinerary.

Looking for a unique summer activity near Austin?

Jaws on the Water is one of the coolest experiences. Spend the afternoon at Volente Beach Resort & Waterpark with themed food, drinks, body paint, and photo ops before floating in the water to watch Jaws after dark.

Only two dates left this season save this and tag who you’d bring!

It’s easy to believe love is missing when you’re focused on finding it from one source. Lately, I’ve been reminding myself to stop and appreciate the love that’s already in my life in the form of friendships, family, my community, little everyday moments, and nature. It only makes me more hopeful for what’s still to come.

One of my goal for 2026 was to host once a month. April’s theme: Conspiracy Theory Party 🛸

The Kool Aid was flowing, the tin foil hats were being crafted (for protection, obviously), and the themed food doubled as “evidence.” Safe to say… we had way too much fun!

This is your sign to get your friends together and host a conspiracy theory part. Because, life’s too short for boring gatherings!

In 2026, we’re doing things differently.
Everyone says we should start meeting people in person again… so I made this hat to remove any confusion.
