My Spiritual Connection to Kanye West

With the growing success of Kanye West's Sunday Service and his upcoming Easter Sunday performance at Coachella, I decided it would be a great time to reshare this post, about why I find a spiritual connection to Kanye West. Original Post Date: March 14, 2018 I have never been a super religious person. I grew up Catholic attending church on Sundays with my family, I went through First Communion, I attended Bible camp and Bible studies, but I never felt a strong connection to

Peru Travel Diaries: Fallen Angel

If there's one thing about me you should know- its that I will rarely ever turn down the opportunity for a fun party. I have always been (and expect to always will be), a party girl at heart. I love dressing up and going out and dancing the night away- its seriously my favorite past time. One of the best parties I went to this year was in Cusco, Peru, at the fabulous boutique hotel Fallen Angel. Today's post continues my Peru Travel Diaries from the summer, with my experience

Peru Travel Diaries: Flavors of Cusco

It's #TravelTuesday, so you know what this means, friends- the next entry on my Peru Travel Diaries is here! Last week I wrote about the Color of Cusco, and today I'm bringing you the Flavors of Cusco, focused on the food and beverages. As you may have read in my last Peru post, we had a very limited time in Cusco with a packed schedule. We were constantly on the move and would eat on the go during our tours so this trip was not very focused on food as much as it was seeing t

Peru Travel Diaries: Colorful Cusco

Today I'm eager to share the continuation of my Peru Travel Diaries series with the colors of Cusco! While you may have seen my previous entries and read about how much I enjoyed Lima, Cusco was my favorite of the two. I loved the historic feel and colorful energy that surrounded the town. At the Plaza de Armas Our trip to Cusco was short- only three and a half days- and our main purpose for going was to see Machu Picchu and the Inti Raymi Festival of the Sun that only happen

Peru Travel Diaries: Machu Picchu

One of the best things on my trip to Peru in June was seeing Machu Picchu, one of the Wonders of the World. Visting Machu Picchu has been on my bucket list since I was a little girl in part due to my mom, who had a picture of the famous mountain in her office and had a serious interest in the Inca culture. I remember staring at the picture, thinking how green the landscape was while wondering about its history (its funny what we remember from childhood, isn't it?). Thanks to

Peru Travel Diaries: Comida y Bebida de Lima

Comida, bebida, y fiesta! Those are the three words you need to know when traveling to Peru. Why? Because everything revolves around food (comida), drinks (bebida), and parties (fiesta). This saying was made up during my trip to Lima, Peru with my dad and step-mother, and quickly became the theme of the trip. If there's one thing for certain, Peruvians definitely know their food and drinks and love to party, and love to show the ropes to visiting guests on their lifestyle. Du

Peru Travel Diaries: Triz y Juan Fotos Collab

It's #TravelTuesday, friends! You know what this means: another entry from my Peru Travel Diaries series! Today I'm excited to discuss the details from a surprise blog photo shoot that was planned as a birthday gift by my step-mother and dad during our recent travels in Lima. When I found out about the blog photo session I was so excited. While I planned on getting some good blog photos in Lima, nothing compares to professional photos so I was very happy I'd have these images

Peru Travel Diaries: Art of Lima

Hola amigos! Last week I returned from the most amazing trip to Peru. There is nothing like a trip abroad to open not only your eyes, but your heart as well, to the world. One of my favorite things about traveling is seeing how other people live. Immersing yourself in another culture is very special and I firmly believe it makes you grow as an individual. It's important for us to know there are other ways of doing things and living, and realizing this and respecting other cul
