Resort Review: Paradisus Grand Cana – Punta Cana

A couple weeks ago, my husband and I traveled to Punta Cana and stayed at one of our favorite all inclusive resorts, the Paradisus Grand Cana! It was the first vacation we’ve been able to take just the two of us since we got married back in November 2019, so we counted it as our *very* delayed honeymoon 🙂 I even gave him a break from his “Instagram husband” duties for the week, which he appreciated 😉 This was actually...

Home Office Refresh

This post is in partnership with Christmas Tree Shops andThat! As always, all opinions are my own. As someone who works from home, I spend a lot of time in my home office.

Splurge vs Save: June Finds

I’m back with another Splurge vs. Save round up, and this is a good one!! These braided sandals are the shoe of the summer, and I found a nearly identical pair on Amazon for way less!

I also bought these studded sandals a while back, and love...
