Black & Grey

November 30, 2014
This past week my brother Shawn and I headed downtown Palo Alto to grab some dinner at Sam’s Chowder House.

It was our first time seeing the Christmas tree and it put us in quite the holiday spirit – like we went home, watched elf and baked three dozen Christmas cookies.

I wore this LBD  and added some polka dot tights and this boxy sweater from F21 since it’s starting to get a little chilly. I should also add that this dress is super stretchy, which comes in handy if you plan to eat your body weight in oysters and fried food. Just saying.

I hope you all had a fabulous thanksgiving.

Experiences > Things If you want to travel more Experiences > Things 

If you want to travel more in 2024, now is a great time to start. Shift the holiday focus from gifts under the tree and prioritize experiences that allow you to create new memories together 

Experience based gifts have always been important to us. We’ve been traveling together for 6+ years and experiencing things together is by far our favorite way to spend time together. Together we’ve explored ~14 countries and grown both individually and as a couple 

Finding ways to save where we can is huge. We don’t have  the desire to buy new things all the time. I also take advantage of credit cards, travel deals, and stack rewards (ex: a majority of our flights are booked with points). I have a free guide packed with lots of info to help you travel more for less 

Which do you value more, experiences or things? 💭

✨ Comment GUIDE and i’ll DM you my free travel guide that’s packed with the tips i’ve learned over the years to make travel more affordable

I can’t be the only one like this… If you me I can’t be the only one like this… 

If you mention going on a trip around me, you better be ready to follow through 

📍What’s the most spontaneous trip you’ve ever booked? 

Story time: Last week my friend called me and said she had to spend $150 on United if she wanted to hit status for 2024. That reminded me that I had $400 in credit to use by the end of the year, so I jokingly said “should we meet up somewhere?” 

Long story short, by the end of the day we had hotel, flights, and dinner reservations booked and now i’m in Vegas for my last (spontaneous) trip of 2023 💃

Friends who book the flights are my favorite 🫶🏼
