I actually cannot believe I am sitting in my dining room finally on the other side of our nearly 4 year engagement. It still feels a bit surreal but so incredibly satisfying to think back to our big day. For those of you who might be new here check out my Wedding section for the […]
Happy Week of my Wedding!!! JK, it was supposed to be on Saturday (RIP) but my actual wedding is a year away…it’s the strangest feeling I can’t even describe. I realized my last update here on all things #OnceUponACline was way back in May (!!!) which means I have quite a few updates to share! […]
It’s no surprise to most that I love Halloween (and a good theme). The decorations, the scary(ish) movies, and of course dressing up for a night of fun. About 10 years ago I found 3 Wishes and it has continued to be my go-to for sexy, playful costumes. At the time I was hunting for […]
If you know me you probably know how much I adore being on the water. A lake…the ocean…in a pool. I live for warm afternoons floating on a boat with the sun shining down. The love of the water runs deep…my grandpa and my uncle also have this deep affinity for it as well. Growing […]
I have been nominated as a 2021 Woman of the Year candidate by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! So, what exactly does that mean? Great question! The Man & Woman of the Year competition is a 10 week philanthropic challenge to raise money for blood cancer research, therapies, and treatments. That same research doesn’t just […]
Wow, it’s been a while. My last wedding update was 4 months ago and after a second lock down, venue hunting, and countless moments of feeling like I would never be able to write this post here goes: WE HAVE A NEW VENUE!!! As you may remember, our wedding and original date were cancelled back […]
I am literally sitting on my front porch, looking at the ocean as I write this post. That isn’t meant to be a braggy comment but more of a kick off to this post about how much I am in love with life in Santa Barbara. It’s been almost 2 months since the move and […]
For months all I have heard from friends and family as I expressed my ever present concern over my Fall 2021 wedding was: “Don’t worry, that’s so far away!” “Your wedding will be fine, but the poor people getting married in 2020!” “Why are you so worried? That’s so far away!” (PS, never say things […]
I will be the first to admit that the idea of traveling during a global pandemic was not my idea of fun but sometimes life has some unexpected plans. In early July I found myself having to make a trip to Santa Barbara for a few days and immediately started researching. Over the course of […]
Picture an idyllic city full of white stucco buildings, red tile roofs, the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. There are palm trees and bougainvillea everywhere you turn and the ocean breeze keeps the Summer temps mild. Sounds like heaven, right? That is probably because for so many Santa Barbara IS heaven…a sanctuary from […]
