Cinque Terre is a stunningly beautiful place, filled with colorful homes, crooked stairs, and startlingly aqua waters. I’ve focused this post on a few of our favorite photos, but also included a few tips at the end in case some of them are helpful!

As some of you may already know, we moved to New York City! After years of considering the move, we finally took the plunge and moved earlier this year. A lot of people have asked us why, after 6 years of living in and loving SF, we’re moving, so here are our top 5 reasons.

When M and I first started thinking about going to Italy, my first thought—before which cities we should visit, how many dishes of pasta we’d have to try, or what sundresses to bring—was that we’d have to try to get a reservation at Osteria Francescana.

The City of Canals is so unique, with docks that serve as entrances, and water busses as the most common form of public transportation. Given the volume of people and goods moving through the city, it’s easy to see how Venice became one of the wealthiest cities in Europe during the Renaissance.

If you’re looking to take a trip to Italy, you’re probably debating where to go and how to spend your time. Well, we have some thoughts! Here is an ordered list of the cities we visited, with a few local tips and our recommendations for how long to spend in each place.

I just got back from a life-changing trip to Italy (photos to come!), and realized that there are some things I just can’t leave home without. So I wanted to compile this list in case it helps you travel, too!

On a recent trip to Civana Wellness Resort and Spa, the back strap of my beloved bikini top broke, leaving me in desperate need of a new swimsuit. This is my review of 12 Amazon-only swimsuits I tried on based on my research of top rated, stylish swimsuits.

Planning a destination wedding without visiting the destination is quite the adventure, and we knew we'd need at least a week before our wedding to get everything ready to go before our big day.

There is a seemingly endless stream of articles on the internet on how to plan a wedding, from where to start to making checklists, so I wanted to write a post on how to plan the most memorable wedding without losing sight of what's actually important: your relationship and your future marriage.

People often joke that the easy way is never enough for us. So it should come as no surprise that we ended up planning a wedding 6,000 miles away, with a wedding planner we’d never met, in a venue we’d never seen, on a 3-month timeline.

Michia likes to surprise me for Valentine’s Day, so I never get to know where we’re going until we’re on our way, sometimes not until we get there. But between a surprise car and a surprise destination, he made sure it was a day I wouldn’t soon forget.

On our recent trip to Mexico, Michia wanted to do something really special: taking hot air balloons up over the ancient Teotihuacan pyramids special. I was initially hesitant, but ultimately decided that we should just go for it. And I’m so glad we did.
