Oahu: Girl's Trip

October 1, 2016

For my 25th Birthday, I wanted to do something BIG. At my current job, I can rent one vacation rental a year for free as an employee perk. I decided on a place in Hawaii and recruited my college bestie to go with me who's birthday is also September 4. After planning the trip in only two months, we each invited one more person to round out the group to four. I invited my friend Meg from high school and Kendall recruited her past travel buddy, Marie. I wanted a go-with-the-flow group and this was it!

Book a Vacation Rental for Your Next Trip

February 22, 2016

Once you are out of school, family vacations change. You don't have scheduled breaks that determine your time off. With a job finding time for a family vacation can be difficult. My immediate family lives in four different cities. Coordinating a trip takes a lot of work and can cost a pretty penny. Plane tickets, meals and vacation activities, as well as a few hotel rooms to fit the whole family, can add up.

Four Motivating Lessons from a Rad #GirlBoss Conference

January 31, 2016

Create and Cultivate claims that it is a conference series and online platform for female entrepreneurs in the digital space. To me, it is so much more than that! It empowers women to take charge of their careers at any age. It is an uplifting and motivating experience chalk full of female empowerment.
