I have a lot of book reviews to share with you today! Six months’ worth of reviews. If you haven’t heard, in May of 2024 I decided to take a full-time position with Her Campus Media and my life has looked a little different since then when it comes to work and what I want […]
March felt like a blink and I think it has a lot to do with a trip on the front end and back end of the month. It’s also worth noting that both were road trips and I spent a lot of time in the car. Which is why I have a whole section devoted […]
Have you ever wondered how people keep track of their lives or wanted to create a “hub” for your life? Imagine everything that your brain is holding onto in a visual format for you to see easily from anywhere. Well, to me this sounded like a thing of dreams. I wanted to be able to […]
Happy May and happy spring! I couldn’t be more excited to share all the fun things I read last month along with my growing TBR pile. But before I dive into all of that, I want to share a few fun bookish things. If you are interested in joining the SLC, Literary League book club […]
I saw this kind of blog post on Carly’s blog and thought it was such a fun way to share some updates as well as a great way to combat writer’s block because we have all been there. I am working on this post at the end of an extremely crazy Monday and I am […]
At the end of March Instagram did something that users had been begging for for years (no I am not exaggerating). They re-introduced the chronological feed. If you remember when Instagram started, the chronological feed was the only feed. You saw posts from people you followed in the order they posted it and could scroll […]
A new month has arrived which means it’s time for me to share everything I read last month. I was really struggling the first two months of 2022 to read and have it be “fun.” It was feeling a little like a chore. Not sure what shifted in March, but I was cruising through books […]
I bet you didn’t think you’d see another new travel guide so soon! I spent last week with my Mom in La Jolla, CA and it was a dream. We hadn’t been to La Jolla since 2019 and it was normally a place we visited together almost yearly. Needless to say, we were both extremely […]
I am so thrilled to be writing a new travel guide! If you’ve been around here for a while, then you know travel is the reason I started Beautiful Detour. Travel got me out of feeling stuck and made my mind say “wouldn’t it be crazy if…?” (just like my mom taught me to do). […]
This year is flying by and we are already in March! I know I say this every month but it truly feels like this year is FLYING by. I had ambitious plans to read a whole lot in February but between some travel and getting a stomach bug, I didn’t quite read as much as […]
As a small business owner, we know that our time is at a premium, but we also are wearing many hats. You are likely the CEO, graphic designer, email specialist, website manager, and on top of that … you are the marketing director. I wanted to share some “hacks” for creating content when you are […]
