California, Hotels, Travel

I first heard about the Alila Ventana Big Sur from another travel blogger who reviewed it almost a year and a half ago. After reading the review, I rushed over to the Hyatt website and booked the hotel for two nights on points. I wanted to stay here because I’ve never stayed at an Alila property before, but also mainly because this was an all-inclusive hotel in California! I’ve only seen all-inclusive hotels in Mexico

San Diego

California, Hotels, Travel

Today, I'm going to give you my Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas review from my most recent vacation. Staying here was a very last minute decision I made for Memorial Day Weekend. I had a Hyatt Category 7 Free Night Certificate that I needed to use by the middle of June and had originally booked it at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands. I booked it there because we were already going to be up in Big

Palm Springs

California, Hotels, Travel

Using my points to stay at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells was probably the best hotel deal decision I have ever made. Around the same time last year, I got an email saying that Coachella would be coming back and presales were going to happen soon. So, in my mind, I rushed over to Hyatt's website to see if there were any hotels that I could book on points. I knew that the Hyatt Regency

I'm excited to be hosting my first live shopping event this coming Monday, November 1st at the Gucci Outlet! As some of you may know, I have already done some personal shopping for some of you if you already had a certain bag or item in mind. This time around, I thought I would post on my Instagram stories of what is currently at the Gucci Outlet. On top of that, if you see something

The Valentino Outlet is a smaller store than what you would see at Gucci or Prada, but I feel like that's what makes it a little bit more manageable. Now that I think about it, all the Valentino stores that I've been to have never been very big so it would make sense that the outlet probably wouldn't be that large either. They have everything shoes, purses, ready-to-wear, and accessories. During my research, the best

First, let me start out by saying that we went to the Prada Outlet three times in one day so I got pretty familiar with it! Luckily, we went on a weekday so there wasn't any line and it was easy to get in and out. The story behind this is that my friend recently got her purse stolen while we were having dinner in Downtown Los Angeles. We were sitting on the patio and

Burberry, California, Designer Goods, Fashion

This was my first time at the Burberry Outlet at the Desert Premium Hills Outlet in Cabazon and I was surprised by how big the store was. You walk in and there are a million things to check out. They have a wide selection of purses and a lot of their famous trench coats available as well. If you are from out of town and are looking for good outerwear, I would definitely check this

Palm Springs

California, Food & Wine

I'm excited to share with you three great Palm Springs happy hours that we went to during our 4th of July trip. We actually went to four happy hours across two days, but one of them didn't really live up to the expectation which I'll further explain below. As always, all the restaurants listed below are places that I've actually been to. I never list or copy and paste from other websites. I want everyone

The Saint Laurent Outlet is one of the stores that I always stop by when we go down to the Desert Hills Premium Outlets. There's never a long line so you can easily go in and do a quick browse, unlike Gucci where you might be waiting for two hours. I didn't buy anything on this trip but I did buy a pair of these Saint Laurent high-top sneakers the last time I was here.
