Big Wheel Keep On Turning- Steamboat Natchez #NOLA

June 4, 2013 by Maria

New Orleans is one of those cities that you must come to visit at least once in your life. I find that once you visit, you will always have a sweet spot for the city and return whenever possible. One thing that I love about living right outside the New Orleans area is that my family gets the best of both worlds. We live in a small town (actually, outside "town limits") but live just a short drive away from everything that New Orleans can offer so many tourist. Memorial Day weekend, my Continue Reading

Brandcation Swag Sponsors #InDestin

May 20, 2013 by Maria

Aside from the event sponsors of our brandcation trip to Destin, Florida we also had some amazing swag sponsors that I wanted to spotlight. Many of these brands I was already a fan of and very familiar with but I was introduced to a few that were new to me and most probably to you as well. I will be spotlighting them as I am more familiar with their product and if I think it may be of use to my readers. I'm sure you will want to stay tunes because almost all of them as amazing in their own Continue Reading

What’s Cooking? Enjoy a Virtual Food Crawl #InDestin

May 19, 2013 by Maria

I have to admit that one of my favorite parts about traveling is the food. Not only am I excited that I don't have to cook for my loved ones but that I can enjoy local cuisine not available in my own hometown. For me, one of the highlights to staying at The Emerald Grande at HarborWalk Village in Destin, Florida is that they have a full array of restaurants just steps from the nearest elevator. During my recent stay not only did I get to enjoy some amazing food, but the scenery is priceless. Continue Reading

When traveling with friends or family sometimes you find a resort that is truly a gem. What I found this weekend is not just a gem, but an Emerald. The Emerald Grande in Destin Florida. Nothing beats the beach in the summer, especially when it is the Emerald Coast. Living in the New Orleans area I have Continue Reading

Emerald Grande at Harborwalk Village Destin, Florida #Brandcation

May 9, 2013 by Maria

It's been quite on the site lately but not because I have nothing to say, but because I have been traveling. I returned from Bentonville, Arkansas a few days ago and now I'm off to Destin, Florida. It has been cold and wet in New Orleans recently so some fun in the sun is exactly what I needed. Fun is one word that can describe the location I am staying in. The Emerald Grande at Harborwalk Village in Destin, Florida is the prime location for a family or couple looking to enjoy the white sand Continue Reading

Road Tripping through Northwest Arkansas #SoFabCon

May 6, 2013 by Maria

I recently returned from a Social Shopper Media Conference called SoFabCon in Bentonville, Arkansas. Since I am about 10 hours away from Bentonville, Arkansas we decided driving from the New Orleans area would be cost efficient. Traveling to Arkansas we encountered heavy rain, wind and the probability of snow so we truly couldn't enjoy it's beauty. But when returning to New Orleans, we saw Arkansas through a whole new light. Isn't the location beautiful? I wish we would have had an Continue Reading

Connect With Family Using the textPlus App #llblog

April 29, 2013 by Maria

This post is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influenced. They say "Home is where the heart is" but sometimes being at home isn't always a possible. Being a blogger, I sometimes have to travel out of state without my family. Naturally I can connect with family on social media, but sometimes you want to hear your loved ones voice or have a private quick conversation as time permits. As connected as I may be to my mobile device, my entire family isn't as connected do Continue Reading
