Anytime can be the best time for a vacation if you plan accordingly . So I've decided to compile a list of my own personal "do's and don'ts" to make sure your travel plans go accordingly! Hope these help out and make planning less stressful and more exciting! DO'S Pick a destination (domestic or international, tropical or desert...just find somewhere!) Make sure you have all your travel documents; passports and or visas, check the dates and make sure they are not about to expire and have enough pages left Look far out enough. Give yourself 3-5 months to prepare for domestic trips and 6-9 months for international. This gives you enough time to find hotel and flights at a decent price! Make sure you price match and use multiple different sources and check daily because prices fluctuate! Research to find out what's included with your hotel, is breakfast complimentary? Is there a shuttle service available? Is there a restaurant and bar on site? Is the

Unfortunately the stigma of the "perfect" 0-2 size body types is still among-st  us; while anything above a 4-6 is considered plus size in the model world. BUT brands and stores including Forever 21, Lane Bryant, J. Crew, Asos, Bissy Swim and of course Fashionnova have began to slowly break barriers of the "one size fits all" bathing suits! And not just the one piece solid color no flavor type of bathing suits but a different variety of styles, colors and patterns. Whether your a size 2 or 22 you should be able to feel sexy and OWN IT ! Self love is the best love. It is time to show off those curves instead of trying to hide them! Images provided by Pinterest

Life is unpredictable. You have this expectation of how your life should be, a road map to your goals, dreams and accomplishments, timelines for major events such as college, wedding, kids. But sometimes how you envision your life, is not how it turns out. Maybe your timeline is different from the one that is destined for you. Sometimes what is destined for you may be even better and bigger for what you had in mind for yourself! There will be bumps and potholes in the road and although it may be a rocky road; it is just preparing you to become the person you need to be in order to achieve all that you want out of life. Sometimes you might want to give up, you think that things will never get better but be patient, have faith and believe in yourself. Things will only get better. Everything in life happens for a reason, every situation, downfall, failed relationship, "No's", let downs etc....all have a purpose. Embrace It.  If you have a dream then go for it! The worst thi
