Martinis & Bikinis 6th Anniversary


I can't believe it's been 6 years since I started Martinis & Bikinis to talk about my life and share things I love. Never did I imagine meeting all of you amazing gals along the way.

Forgetful Me


I should probably be ashamed of some of the foolish/forgetful things I've done and/or continue to do. I will chock some of it up to being human but I often joke about having the memory of an 80+ year old and you'll probably think the same after reading this post.

Friendsgiving and Giving Thanks


The weekend was a great one. Lots of self care and pampering, a little online shopping/browsing for holiday gifts, and a fun Friendsgiving dinner to cap off the weekend.

Happy Halloween


Happy Halloween!

Fall Corn Maze Adventures


Super fun Saturday with friends and their kiddos getting lost in a corn maze. It only took me 34 years to finally experience this fun Fall tradition, and we had a blast navigating through the maze mostly with little Max leading the way.

Life Lately + Giveaway


Since the weekend was pretty uneventful (which I'm not complaining about), I thought I'd check in with a life lately update.

Party Supplies from the Dollar Store

I love party planning, often on a tight budget. If there's one thing I love about the Dollar Store is that they have a great selection of party supplies for every occasion.

Elephants For Strength: Gift Guide


I recently read an article about ancient lore and the symbolism of different animals. It said that the elephant came to Earth to teach us about true strength and loyalty. They are extremely strong animals but gentle nature, never using their power to harm others.

Solving Personal Hair Care Struggles + Giveaway


I was contacted by Formulate, a new personal care brand, to test their customized shampoo and conditioner formulas that are created by their chemists specifically for your hair type and needs. The company's concept is very unique and a new-to-me experience. I was all onboard since my hair is not as easy to maintain as it may look.
