For my 30th birthday, I wanted to travel to a place I've dreamt of my entire life. I grew up hearing about National Parks from my grandpa and knew Yosemite was one of the most majestic parks in our country. At this point, I had lived in California for SEVEN YEARS and had yet to make the 5 hour drive up to Yosemite. I was done staring at photos of my friend's camping trips and professional photographer's Instagram pages taken within the park. I WAS GOING...and bringing Brad with me!
August Destination: Seattle
Wednesday, September 26, 2018
For my 8th month of travel I chose to visit my good friend, Allyson, up in Seattle. She recently moved back home after living in Los Angeles for awhile. I missed her and always wanted to visit her hometown, so she set up a fabulous variety of things for me to see and do! I was only in town mid-week for 4 days and 3 nights. So, here is my long weekend Seattle Travel Guide recommendations.
July Destination: Camping at Two Habors, Catalina Island
Tuesday, August 14, 2018
I purposely dedicated my month of July travel destination to my boyfriend, Brad. I let him choose where he'd like to celebrate his birthday and counted it as my 7 month travel spot! Woohoo! I'm more than half way done with my New Years Resolutionnn! Wait. That means 2018 is like...half way over. WHAT!? This year is seriously flying by. It needs to stop. Now. Once by birthday comes and goes on September 10th the rest of the year ALWAYS flies by in the blink of an eye. Should I go ahead and wish you a Happy New Year now? Okay, I won't.

May Destination: Cabo San Lucas
Saturday, June 23, 2018
Five months strong for my New Year's Resolution! For my May destination I went abroad to Baja California! My teenage dreams came true vacationing in Cabo San Lucas just like the teenagers from one of my favorite reality shows, Laguna Beach. I watched their glamorous beachside lifestyles from my Indiana red brick home. I wished longingly to travel abroad for my Spring Break. So, here I am 10 years later finally making my dreams come true! So here are all the deets from our trip!
Dexcom G6 Review
Tuesday, June 5, 2018
I finally worked up the courage to try a CGM (constant glucose monitor) when I saw the brand spanking new Dexcom G6. I reached out to Dexcom and told them to put me on a list once the G6 was released and they added me to the Launch Program last minute. I was so honored to be part of the first 1,000 people to receive the G6, but also nervous at the same time. I was NOT given the Dexcom G6 for free nor asked to write a review - I just want to!
April Destination: Palm Springs
Tuesday, May 8, 2018
Here's to crossing another month off my "Travel More" New Year's Resolution. I recently discovered only 8% of people actually achieve their New Year's resolution! EIGHTY percent of them fail by February! Unreal. Reading that only made me more determined to stick to my goal of traveling outside of Los Angeles once a month. For the month of April I took a 3 day trip with my friend and co-worker, Alyssa to Palm Springs! I had only been there once to work and wedding and never left the venue, so I was excited to finally see what this town has to offer!
March Destination: Ojai, CA
Tuesday, April 17, 2018
My 2018 New Year's Resolution was to travel more! (At least get out of Los Angeles at least once every month). For the previous two months I traveled by plane, so I chose a budget-friendly day trip to Ojai, California for the month of March. My trip was inspired by the film, Easy A featuring one of my favorite actresses, Emma Stone. (She's my dream BFF).

February Destination: Mendocino County
Friday, March 9, 2018
I stuck with my "Travel More" New Years Resolution into the month of February. Woohoo! Two month streak. Conveniently, my boyfriend's dad, David, bought a oceanside house in Elk, California so Brad and I planned a visit! You may be thinking of Elk Grove. No, that's a suburb of Sacramento. This is a tiny hidden gem inside Mendocino County with a population of 250. If you blink, you'll miss it. So don't blink. Keep your eyes open. You don't want to miss the epic views, gorgeous redwoods, and quaint little towns.
My First Diaversary
Friday, February 23, 2018
Celebrating the day you were diagnosed with diabetes - your "diaversary" - may sound strange, but I recognize February 23rd as the day my life changed forever. We are not celebrating diabetes, but our fight against it and not letting it hold us back. I believe people should celebrate their anniversary of diagnosis because Type 1 Diabetes is hard. It's a full time job thinking like a pancreas. Managing this chronic disease is a huge accomplishment, especially during your first year. So, get yourself a cupcake.
(Yes, people living with T1D can eat cupcakes).
My diagnosis was devastating news, don't get me wrong, but so many incredible things have come from it. Here are just a few...
