We're sisters with a passion for travel and fashion. We love to share our tips on hidden gems and the latest fashion trends.
One thing we never leave without on any of our international trips is a personal portable WiFi hotspot. We almost always have an itinerary of things we want to see and do on our trips and having a personal WiFi makes a huge difference in our daily travel activities.
Read MoreBruges is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is such a charming and quaint town and you can walk to all the gorgeous locations the city is known for. We wanted to stay in a central location close to everything and Crowne Plaza Brugge was the perfect hotel.
Read MoreAmsterdam is known for all of its coffee shops and the Red Light District but we wanted to skip all that and explore this city in a different way. Amsterdam has many wonderful museums and so many great sites to see. So much so that we actually ran out of time and didn’t get to explore everything we wanted.
Read MoreWe were somewhat prepared for this hike to be a bit of a challenge, but we underestimated just how hard it was going to be for us. Mist Trail is one of the most popular hikes and is considered Yosemite’s signature hike so we definitely didn’t want to pass it up.
Read MoreWhen we travel, the one thing we always wish we could afford to do is to hire a personal photographer to take photos of us together. On our most recent trip to Amsterdam, we decided to hire a professional vacation photographer from Localgrapher. We wish we had known about this service sooner because our experience was amazing!
Read MoreWhen we booked our flights to Amsterdam we were pretty excited as we have been wanting to visit for quite some time now. Many of our friends who have been to Amsterdam rave about this city and have even made multiple visits because they just loved it that much. We decided to book our stay at the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam as it was rated as a top-notch hotel with excellent service and luxurious amenities.
Read MoreSometimes when we are traveling, we wonder if we are being rude by doing something that is completely fine in our own country but not in the one we are visiting. Since we grew up in two different cultures we get asked quite often some of the big differences we experienced living in Japan and the US.
Read MoreCrystal made a quick weekend getaway to Los Angeles, so we decided to go to CraftoberFest held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. It was a beautiful sunny day full of contests, entertainment by Festmiester Hans, and of course craft beer.
Read MoreThere are an array of travel products out there and we have definitely purchased items that seemed like a good idea at first, but then actually never ended up using it. We put together a list of products that we take with us on all our travels that are all under twenty dollars and you can get them all from Amazon!
Read MoreWe snagged a roomy Airbnb in Yosemite West at Yosemite National Park, which was perfect since we were traveling with a group of six people.
Read MoreWe are pretty new to the vegan dining scene (since we aren’t vegan) and after our experience at Gracias Madre, we wanted to dine at one of their sister restaurants called Gratitude Kitchen & Bar. They offer organic plant-based cuisine and are located right in the heart of Beverly Hills.
Read MoreWe looked into the weather for early September and it was definitely going to be a challenge packing for this trip. The temperatures from day to night fluctuated drastically (at least according to the average annual forecast), so we had to pack accordingly.
Read MoreTenaya Lodge is a gorgeous resort with a variety of lodging options from traditional hotel rooms, cabins, and cottages. We wanted to stay at their newest accommodations in the Explorer Cabins as it was a great fit for us since we were traveling with a group of six people.
Read MoreWe had a quick getaway to London in May, thanks to Norwegian Air, who started offering low-cost non-stop flights from Tampa, Florida to Gatwick, London. We tried to fit in as much as possible during the 3 days we were there and here are some of our favorite spots we enjoyed in London.
Read MoreI’ve been to the Florida Aquarium a few times before but I never really appreciated it until this year. I recently found out that the Florida Aquarium offered a penguin encounter tour and I knew I had to go back to experience this when Candy was back in town visiting.
Read MoreIf you’ve been keeping up with our blog posts lately, you’ll start to notice that we have a thing for IHG hotels like Kimpton Fitzroy and InterContinental Kyiv. We always have a fabulous stay at these hotels and knew that InterContinental Prague would be just as wonderful while visiting Prague.
Read MoreWe both pack quite a bit of similar items in our carry-on bag, but we also pack items that the other doesn’t. We thought we’d break down our items with our first list containing the essentials we both pack and then we’ll go into items that are unique to us individually.
Read MoreWe are huge fans of Pacsafe and discovered them back in 2017 while shopping at a local mom-and-pop travel store in San Diego. Since then, we have expanded our wardrobe and accessories with Pacsafe and it has become a staple for our travels.
Read MoreInterContinental hotels are always superb but InterContinental Kyiv blew me away. This hotel is gorgeous beyond belief and the entire staff was amazing. I was a little nervous about visiting Kiev because I didn’t really know much about the city but this hotel made me feel right at ease.
Read MoreEver since I heard about Chernobyl, I have been fascinated by the catastrophic event. I was prepared to come here solo because I knew I wouldn’t have very many friends or family that would want to come with me (understandably). While I was visiting Chernobyl, I had a lot of friends message me about the site. They all had the same question: Is it safe to visit?

I often get asked what women should wear in Turkey or if there is some sort of dress code for women. In general, you can pretty much wear whatever you want. The only places where you need to dress a certain way is at the mosques. To give you a better idea on what you should pack, here’s what I wore in Cappadocia, Antalya, Kas, Pamukkale, and Istanbul.
Have you seen those beautiful palm tree-lined streets in LA and ever wondered where the heck people took those photos? We drove around Beverly Hills and found the perfect spot and have the actual cross street names so you don’t get lost.
Crystal and I took the Citysafe CX Anti-theft Backpack and the Citysafe CX Anti-theft Convertible Backpack on our recent trip to Japan and they were just what we needed for our travels and exploring Tokyo. Here are our top 7 reasons why we love our sleek and city chic backpacks.
My visit to Chip and Joanna’s empire in Waco, Texas with Kuma. Magnolia Market at the Silos is humungous and often referred to as the Disneyland of Fixer Upper fans. I can understand why they call it that now.
