Picture Show: Eiffel tower

DaniBP’s upcoming trip to Paris has me nostalgic for my own vacation last year. I thought it would be fun to revisit some of my favorite photos of the city.

As I went through my old pics today my favorites list got longer and longer, this post will be a mutli-parter lol. You really can’t take [...]

QOTD: Vegas baby

Allison asks:
Hi! I just read your excellent packing suggestions for Paris, and I hope you can help me. I’m going to Vegas for a girl’s weekend in March. I’m not really a Vegas girl, but I’ve heard the shopping is great! I’m 33, and I don’t want to look like I’m trying too hard. [...]

QOTD: What to pack for a vacation in Paris

Today’s question comes from DaniBP. She asks:

Repetto Paris and shopping

Hello all, I am finally home! Our vacation in Europe was only two weeks but it seems like it’s been a month at least since I saw my comfy bed, warm bath, and tidy closet lol. It was a wonderful but exhausting trip, heavy on sight seeing and very light on lounging or relaxing.

During our [...]
