When we originally planned our road trip, we had planned to go straight from Savannah to Charleston. However, Manuel hadn’t ever been to the Atlantic Ocean before and wanted to stop on a beach somewhere along the way. Since we were so close, we knew we needed to make a quick stop at Hilton Head Island in order to do a bit of swimming and sun bathing. Since we only planned to spend half of a day there, I wanted to make sure that we found a great beach with a few shops and restaurants close by. After searching the…
30 Day Pure Barre Review
After moving back to the States from Germany, Manuel and I both struggled with staying healthy. We were no longer walking everywhere, fast food was at every corner and with all the hustle and bustle of moving we quickly gained weight. I knew that I needed to do something active but I had been struggling with back pain and I couldn’t find the motivation.

Des Moines Fashion Week
For four days at the beginning of October, Des Moines hosted an event that made the city seem like New York.

The space screamed street style, with a backdrop of the latest and greatest car lineup – which was showcased by the three designers of the night. I loved…
One Day in Atlanta Georgia
Arriving in Atlanta was a little intense. The interstate coming into the city is like 8 lanes on each side – making one of the widest roads I have ever experienced. Location: Atlanta, Georgia Where we stayed: Omni Hotel at CNN Center When: September 2nd – 3rd Favorite Meal: Prime Meridian Favorite Activity: Coca-Cola World Would I go back: Yes! I would love to have more time to explore the city! This was the one hotel on our trip that we decided to stay in the heart of downtown at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center. (Mainly because I got a…
