PACK YER BAGS
We’re on a bit of an all-inclusive kick, even without drinking. It’s for when you just want easy, not adventure. Eyeing this really cute place run by sisters called Cedar Lakes Estate in the Hudson Valley, New York, but seems more geared toward events than small groups or a couple traveling.
Also because we’re gaming points currently. UR (Chase) is doing a +65% transfer bonus to Marriott through 6/30, so currently checking out what Marriott has to offer for all-inclusives.
While we will probably always stay at Balanza Vineyard Guest House while wine tasting in Willamette, this is a new-to-me (and at one year old, pretty new to the world) must-visit on our next trip: Ambar Estate.
BUY ALLLL THE THINGS
We love big art, and odd shapes (hello Austin pano, looking at you). So I love this post on using an IKEA frame and fabric printer to get a beautiful, big piece of art on the relative cheap. Faux celeb life!
Do we think EMF-combatting jewelry works? Or rebalancing energy jewelry? What is the difference? Which do I need more? Because I’ll try it?
I LOVE THIS DRESS. It is $525 and completely unrealistic for purchasing but I love love love it. Very on-trend tie front, pockets, breezy lace, embroidery … somehow trendy and classic at the same time.

MAKE ‘EM
Pretty sure I have charms floating around and could make these? I’ve also seen somewhere people adding charms to their old sperry boat shoes and I LOVE that (long ago I edited down my previously vast sperry boat shoe collection from about ten pair to just TWO, my first: classic white and blue, and my rainbow serape print pair). Could truly be trying this one.
