Travel Tips
The Basics of Flying With Food
It’s October and I’ve already flown nearly 90,000 miles aboard 75+ flights – and the travel isn’t letting up anytime soon. When I’m on the road that much, eating out every meal really isn’t sustainable. It’s hard to guesstimate my macros and my sodium intake soars. Traveling with my own food from home has become…
Must-have Camera Accessories for Travel
I’m still in awe of the trip we were fortunate enough to spend three weeks in Africa for our honeymoon. Capturing every moment while we were there, not knowing when or if we’d get to go again, was so important to us. But, we had to deal with a HUGE weight constraint. 30 pounds a…
Saving on a Dream Safari in Africa

Over the years, I’ve found a few…

Life has been hectic, y’all. I feel like I’m almost never at home these days. Still, when the chance arose to escape with some girlfriends to go glamping, I jumped on it. Nothing like a little time away from it all to reset yourself and gear up for another busy few months! This wasn’t your old…
Road Trip Snacks
We’re Tulsa bound this weekend, and everyone knows road trips require snacks. Gas stations and fast food restaurants are full of temptation, so I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite make-at-home snacks to help me hit my macros on the road and stay away from those fat-packed, super sugary, pre-packaged options. All of these can be mixed…
