We are officially in one of my favorite reading times of the year! There are so many amazing books that have been or are just about to be released for summer reading. Honestly, I am a little overwhelmed trying to decide what to read next. The month of May included a lot of beach reads […]
Instagram Stories have been around since 2016 and this is not the first time we are chatting about them here on the blog! Check out some of my past posts here and here. A lot about the Instagram landscape has drastically changed in the past year, not to mention the past seven years since stories […]
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 […]
I want to start by saying that there is no one perfect morning routine. I have written about mine in the past, and you can bet I’ve read every “What successful women do before they start their day” article out there. There is never going to be a morning routine that works every day (even […]
It’s the first book roundup of the year and I am so excited to keep this tradition going. This year I am going to be doing some fun things to keep track of my reading and I want to share them with you. I will be digitally tracking current and to be read books in […]
