YouTube for Styling Tips – Here are my latest!

Do you use YouTube for styling tips? While I love my trips down the Pinterest rabbit hole – I am not always able to pull apart the how to. I love YouTube, and the ability to watch a video, pause it, and follow the steps!
I spent some time creating a few YouTube videos about some new styling tips that I love!

YouTube styling tips

This first video is me using a Lindsay Kimono and a skirt to create a wrap top! This look is super easy and versatile! What ways would you use this style in your wardrobe? I love that it can stand alone or be a part of a Capsule wardrobe. I am very cautious about not sharing styling tips I wouldn’t wear myself, and I am in love with this look!

This second video is One of my favorite ways to pack for a vacation! I use a capsule when I am going for one/two nights, and need to minimize my packing.You can use any three/four pieces you own that can work in this way! This is how people travel with just a carry on! I add sneakers, heels, boots, a bathing suit, jeans or shorts, a tank top, jewelry, toiletries, Headphones, chargers, and a good book! Super easy to Pack and go!

If you enjoy my videos, please subscribe to my YouTube channel to be sure you see them all!

Staycation – When I want to be a tourist

Have you ever Needed a staycation?
I have been back home from California for a week, but – I am feeling the need for some down time with the family!
Living in one of the best vacation destinations in the world (in my opinion!) means that sometimes we miss out on the paces and events that make our state special.
Sometimes it takes someone else showing us what we are missing for us to truly see it.
Every year my aunt and uncle travel from the middle of the country back to the Ocean State for a visit. This visit means that we get a chance to explore the Ocean State like we were tourists. With so much to explore in such a small state, the nice thing is you can decide each morning what you want to do!
There is  something about taking the day off, heading to the beach , and just enjoying time together that actually makes everything seem really amazing again. I love the fact that when they are  here we splurge on things like seafood and trips to Newport, and sometimes Maine. We take the time to pause, breathe,  look at the ocean and remember the reasons we live where we live.
I look forward to their visits every year. Having family that lives so far away is hard when the closest airport to them costs us about $1000 per person to visit, it seems out of reach. The fact that they are drawn to the Ocean, back home, and that we can see them and enjoy their company makes it worth so much more than any airfare could be. I live in a state where I am no more than 30 minutes from the Ocean no matter where I am, and I have not visited the beach yet this summer!! I long for their visits because I get to come home too, see the state I love, and be a part of their home coming too.
