days off - this is honestly the phrase that constantly runs through my mind every morning when I wake up. Although it is tempting to close my laptop to visit Downtown Disney (which is literally a 60 second walk from my hotel), I made it a personal choice to not neglect my blog or my audience. As a passionate blogger, I find that the best way to really enjoy your vacation is to find a balance. There needs to be a fine line between finding or making some downtime to work, but to also remember to live in the moment. A huge mistake that a lot of bloggers make is that they document their travels so often through Instagram and/or Snapchat. Like the commonly spoken phrase "you do you", I'm honestly okay with whatever people choose to do on vacation, but I do have to say that being on your phone constantly does take away from your entire vacation experience. For me, I tend to film a quick Snapchat or take a quick Instagram photo, but immediately put my phone in my purse to enjoy every other second.

It finally feels like summer in California and I couldn't be happier with this weather. With sunny days come decorative picnics, water park fun, beach days, and more. Because it's summer break for some of you guys, I've listed a few of my favorite California beaches to visit and hope that you all have a chance to check them out as well!
