Destination Pretty: The Ranch at Live Oak Fitness Camp

Ranch Malibu Photo 4

I have read about The Ranch at Live Oak for a few years. It’s a hard core, kick your butt, and sweat so hard fitness regime you go to bed thinking you are Rocky or what the hell did I get myself into. Of course after going to Rancho La Puerta a few years ago [...]

Destination Pretty: Carneros Inn and Spa – Napa Valley, California

Carneros Inn

I have Napa on the brain and weighing heavily on my mind. I recently had lunch with my friend Marty and she reinforced that we need to visit soon. I was watching the Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten) cook for her beloved Jeffrey in Napa Valley and San Francisco I got a little jealous. That needs [...]

Destination Pretty: Stephanie Johnson Travel Essentials

Stephanie Johnson Mini Pouches

I remember when travel was easy. Security was a breeze to pass through, you didn’t have to put your liquids in Ziploc bags, and the majority of people didn’t dress as if they just rolled out of bed. Times have changed. Travel today is hard, even I will admit that. But, there are ways to [...]

Destination Pretty: I’m Leading My First Beauty Tour of Paris

Arc de Triomphe

I fell in love with Paris the first time I visited. It was the long lunches, the extra long dinners with stimulating conversations, and the food. It’s the je ne sais quoi. It is hard to explain. You have to go to fully understand what no book, blog, or photo can truly show. I always [...]

Traveling_Brown_Girls_Badge

The web has many great perks for me. I have met amazing women online who have now become friends in real life. Take for example, my girl Tracey from One Brown Girl and the Passport Party Project. Tracey is equally obsessed with Paris, travels the world, loves her hubby, and is an all around good [...]

Destination Pretty: Claire Vivier Weekender

Clare Vivier Weekender

I haven’t met a weekender I didn’t like, but this Clare Vivier Weekender in Camel has my name written all over it. I am in love with the lightweight leather and the chic look of the bag. I can already see it sitting on top of my Tumi carry-on holding my beloved Kindle, MacAir, and [...]

Destination Pretty: Parisian Beauty Find – Bioderma Cleansing Water

Bioderma

It is no secret I love me some Paris. But, one of the things I love is finding all these amazing beauty products that I can’t find in the U.S. I read tons of magazines (domestic & international) and the one thing I always ask is “what is the beauty editor buying.” I have been [...]

Destination Pretty: In a Beauty-full Parisian State of Mind

Paris Collage

I made it from Paris to Provence in one beauty-full piece. I love traveling by train and when you are passing time in the French countryside with a magazine, Kindle, portable wine, and conversation the time passes quickly. I was asked before I left DC “Does Paris get old?” Never. It’s still magical to me. [...]

Destination Pretty: Beach Palace Resort ~ Cancun, Mexico ~ Girl Getaway Part One

beach palace

My girl getaways must involve a beach. This year’s girl getaway was a needed rest and relaxation. After a few trying and busy months it seemed as if the girls wanted nothing to do but fly away like Lenny Kravitz. That is what we did when we decided to book our trip this year at [...]

Destination Pretty: St. Maarten’s Sailing Takes Me Away

P1090820

I have always loved water. I seriously think I should have been born under the Pisces sign, but I’m a true Sagittarius. Although, I was born to a Pisces mom. There are times I even go to bed with the beach waves application on my phone because I just need to hear the waves, look [...]
