Spending 48 Hours At The Happiest Place On Earth

Spending 48 hours at Disneyland earlier this week was definitely the quick getaway I needed to loosen up a bit from the stressful week I previously had. With both my older sister and photographer friend (both named Sharon, LOL) , we set sight on enjoying every single minute we had at The Happiest Place On Earth. After relaxing a bit and soaking in the positive vibes around me, this weekend served as the perfect break to start my week off strong. If you want to find out what hotel I stayed at, restaurants I dined at, and what went down at Disneyland, keep scrolling down for fun visuals and a detailed hotel recap!

Meeting Instagram Friends In The Windy City

All it took was one trip to The Windy City to blow me away - literally. However, enduring through Chicago's 20-degree weather and powerful winds on a daily basis happened to be one of the last things on my mind when exploring this new city. Why is that, you ask? Well, let's rewind back a bit.

My First NYFW Experience: Mimi Prober

NYFW, or New York Fashion Week, is a semi-annual series of events that showcases future collections of various fashion brands that haven't been released to the public eye yet. Attending NYFW shows is recognized as a prestigious honor in the blogging community, as guests must receive an exclusive invitation by the brands themselves in order to attend. During this prime time, my Instagram newsfeed blew up with countless photos of established fashion bloggers posing in the streets of New York and professionally captured runway shots. Throughout my seven days in New York City (see previous blog post here), I was given the special opportunity to attend Mimi Prober's runway show and wanted to personally share my first time experience attending New York Fashion Week with you guys.

NYC's Hottest Restaurants

When it comes to the exceptional food quality, artistic presentation, and freshly incorporated ingredients, New York City tops the list as my number one favorite city to dine at. Flying into New York City for seven days with absolutely no knowledge of the raving food scene, I felt completely mind blown to learn just how delicious their food really was. If you ever plan on visiting New York City, I've compiled just the list for you to turn those taste buds on ;)

Exploring New York City For The Very First Time

Reflecting back on my previous trip to New York City, I was both surprised and intrigued to see just how drastically different the lifestyle and culture was in New York City compared to back at home in sunny Orange County. At every crowded intersection, pedestrians crossed the street at lightning speed with a purpose and destination in mind. Not only did the fast-paced lifestyle help me accomplish my list of to-do's in a shorter amount of time, but I also learned how to navigate through all of New York through various methods of public transportation. As a suburban Orange County resident, I'll admit that the first few days felt like a bit of a struggle, as I eventually learned how to pick up the pace and adapt to the city lifestyle. My daily schedule of transferring from bus to train to a second train became a breeze by the time I had to wave New York goodbye. However, a little birdie told me that somebody may be returning to New York City in September 2017 so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see ;)

Family Time at The Riviera Palm Springs

Although the month of December was a busy month booked with non-stop traveling and sightseeing, I couldn’t be more grateful to call this world my office. After all, I get an adrenaline rush whenever I pencil in a new destination into my planner. By being able to blog from any city in the world while making a positive impact on people’s lives, it makes doing what I love worth every single second of my life.
