5 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO TO 

NEW ORLEANS


1. Mardi Gras off-season. Outside of their busiest time of year, New Orleans has a lot of different cultural things to experience such as the food, architecture, and parades. There are always parades year round. You may even catch a wedding parade in the French Quarter. So if you don not care for the wild crazy nights and the crowds of Mardi Gras you can still enjoy your time in New Orleans!

2. Mardi Gras on-season. Whenever people mention New Orleans the first thing that pops into mind is of course Mardi Gras...the main attraction. You can experience endless parades, great food, bead throwing and endless drinks and nightlife. Make sure you book early and plan your trip out in advanced though because it only last for a few weeks between January and February

3. Drink up! New Orleans has the most lenient drinking laws. You do not have to worry about finishing your drink before you move on to your next destination because most facilities offer to-go cups! Feel free to drink in public, have a stroll down Bourbon St. with a drink in hand. Also, there are no set regulations for the selling of alcohol so if you want a drink at 3am it wouldn't be hard to find a place, you might even see places open/serving alcohol 24/7!

4. French Quarter. The most touristy part of New Orleans. You won't find any locals roaming around this area! Enjoy live music, good food, lively architecture, piano bars, and much more! Don't worry about planning and making reservations at restaurants because there are plenty of small gems and food stands everywhere!

5. Be Aware. Make sure you be aware of your surroundings and this is no matter where your going! Even in a touristy area make sure you're using the buddy system! With liquor regulations being on the lenient side don't end up getting separated from your friends or getting lost and taken! It is okay to have fun but be safe! And always Uber/Lyft over drinking and driving!

1. Fact: Parsley ice cubes to soothe distressed skin If you’re get puffy eyed mornings or your skin is a little tired from a long night, this trick will sort you out in minutes. You can start by blending a handful of fresh parsley with a cup of water and pouring the mix into an ice cube tray, then freeze. After a long night simply just smooth an ice cube over your face to soothe and tighten your pores. Ice helps to rejuvenate, refresh and tones your skin while parsley is a natural diuretic, which helps to eliminate excess fluid build-up! 2. Fiction: You should wash your hair every day Washing your hair too much can strip it of the natural oils it needs to stay healthy and grow. This can cause your scalp tends to produce excess oil, which means you’re hair will get greasy roots more often. Washing your hair every other day (unless you’re excessively sweating from exercise) should be plenty. I wash my hair once a week. 3. Fact: Coconut oil as shaving cream We all hate get

It takes a creative type of women to layer and combine colors you wouldn't even think match but compliment each other very well!  I love love love wearing blazers, boots, hats, leg warmers, cardigans, jeans, leather leggings ugh I am drooling as I type this!!
