I just had an epic girls getaway at the Atlantis Resort in The Bahamas! We spent a fun-packed weekend lounging by the pool, snorkeling around The Cove, and wining and dining on amazing cuisine.

To get ready for the trip, I wanted to try out a travel nails style that was loosely inspired by the tropical vibes of The Bahamas!

If you’re looking for some tropical inspiration, I highly recommend an ombre style. I chose three different shades of teal, and was pleasantly surprised how well the look turned out!

My favorite polish is Zoya Nail Polish because it is the longest wearing, natural nail polish available. All the colors are toluene, formaldehyde, DBP and Camphor Free- can’t ask for anything better!

      Wow, beautiful nails!! I don’t like using nasty chemicals either so will have to check out this range of polish!
      Your swimmers are so cute too, will you share those details on the blog too?

    #EGAmbassador Wondering where to plan next year’s adventures? 🗺️

    If you’re looking for a different kind of vacation destination, one that’s not all over your feed or overrun with tourists, then @expedia’s got you covered!

    Expedia just launched Unpack ’26, their definitive guide to emerging travel trends for the year ahead, powered by first-party data from Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, and enriched by global insights, Unpack is designed to help travelers explore more consciously and creatively.

    Some of these were a HUGE surprise, but I wasn’t shocked to see The Cotswolds made the cut! I traveled there last fall and fell in LOVE! So much so that I’m planning a month-long stay with Ollie so he can enjoy all of the cute lambs and cozy cottages too!

    The Cotswolds are a region in the UK compromising of over 100 villages and 300 towns! There’s so much to be discovered here, but these are the 7 villages you have to visit if you’re planning a trip to The Cotswolds this fall and beyond:

    •Castle Combe
    •Bourton-on-the-Water
    •The Slaughters
    •Stowe-on-the-Wold
    •Broadway
    •Snowshill
    •Bibury

    For more amazing, best-kept travel secrets, check out @expedia’s Unpack ‘26 list (in my stories) and hurry to book your travels before these less-explored gems become part of the beaten path!

    Have you been to The Cotswolds? Which were your favorite villages?

    Here’s how we spent a weekend in Philadelphia #MarriottHotelsPartner
    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
    We were lucky enough to stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, located right in the heart of the city! From there, we made sure to see the best the city had to offer families:

    🥞 Breakfast at The Pantry (inside the Marriott!)
    🖐️ Please Touch Museum
    🔔 The Liberty Bell + Independence Hall
    🍲 Lunch at Reading Terminal Market
    💦 Splash time at Sister Cities Park
    🧬 Visit the Franklin Institute
    🏮 Chinese Lantern Festival in Franklin Square (annual summer event)

    There’s so much for families to do in Philadelphia and being a Marriott Bonvoy member makes it so much more accessible.

    From the location to having toddler amenities on-hand and staff who actually understand what traveling with a toddler is like — it’s those small comforts that make a huge difference on family trips.

    Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!
