Off to a swanky lunch in Malibu.

Time to have a little celebration for my gal’s birthday!

I had a nice, big trip planned last year for Grant’s 40th birthday.

Unfortunately, Covid-19 had other plans for us, along with everyone, that involved cancelling.

So, this April {fully vaccinated and all} we were particularly looking forward to celebrating not only my birthday {April 17th} but an early birthday for Grant {May 4th} and what better place than our favorite place: Cabo!

While we have traveled to Mexico quite a bit, we’ve never stayed at the beloved, cult-favorite, One&Only Palmilla.

As people who love to travel, this hotel has been on our radar {and bucket list} for quite some time. And boy oh boy did it live up to the expectations. Here are a few of my favorite moments. Cheers to 38!

We spent a lot of the weekend relaxing by the beach. It’s so rare to be staying right on a swimmable beach in Cabo, so we definitely took in every second of that.

When we weren’t at the beach, we were by the pool eating the warm chocolate chip cookies. Not to be dramatic, but they changed my life. I also got the nachos poolside at least 3 times over the weekend. Also, life-changing. And again, not being dramatic.

I think my most favorite part of the trip had to have been the private cabana at the hotel {a close second was the outdoor “couples” massage Catt and I got}. They provide food, drinks, sunscreen – pretty much all the necessities to your very own poolside escape. Talk about luxury. I would highly recommend booking this if you’re with a small group of people.

Whether you’re traveling or still working up your post-Covid bucket list, Cabo is always a good idea, and I can now confirm the Palmilla is as well.

If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go? And let me know if you have any questions about this trip in the comments below!

If I were going out instead of staying in on a Friday night…

I can still pretend though!

White cardigan on a white tee and I’m not even angry that they aren’t perfectly matching.

We all know that nothing is perfect.

The truth is, you can’t put on a pretty dress with a pretty filter in a pretty location to cover up the sadness.

This year is so hard, for everyone. We have good days and bad days. We have moments of optimism and then moments that kick us back down. Every time I feel like I am coming up for air, we receive new awful and tragic news that knocks us back down again.

While it is a nice outlet to share our highlights with you all, it is also vital for us to share our heartache, sorrow and sadness too. I can’t always share the tragic and incredibly sad experiences we have for the privacy of others, but it’s here… behind closed doors.

I am writing this to let you know that you are not alone. We are all in this world together. It is the only thing that brings me true peace.

Fall? Is that you?

Either way I’m here for a plaid jacket {or shall I say, shacket} moment.

Who else is having a hard time getting motivated this week?

I’m really trying to be still in this moment and offer myself compassion. It’s ok to not want to do anything but sit home and be present with loved ones. In fact, it’s better than ok… it’s straight up AMAZING.

I didn’t get dressed today so here’s an old photo of a cute dress I forgot to publish
