🛍️My first Round Top! The bestie @mellowyellowpa 🛍️My first Round Top! 
The bestie @mellowyellowpay invited me to spend a day shopping in Round Top. And even though she’s a shopaholic, I actually ended up spending way more money than her 🙃 I got some rings, a necklace, the cutest tee, and a fringe purse. Swipe to see my purchases from @marburgerfarm and @thearborsroundtop!

I spent a weekend celebrating Dia De Los Muertos in San Antonio and had such an incredible stay. The Monarch did NOT miss a detail! From the decor, the rooms, the service, the food, and the location, I kept saying I wanted to move in. 
You’re right in the center of all the festivities at La Villita, The Riverwalk, and Hemisfair. Plus you have incredible food right onsite at Oak & Amber, The Nectarie Café for coffee & breakfast and my favorite Aleteo, the rooftop with beautiful views of San Antonio. Add it to your Texas bucket list!

🧡🕊️ My very first Día de Muertos ofrenda @walmart 🧡🕊️ My very first Día de Muertos ofrenda @walmart #walmartpartner
Since I was starting completely from scratch this year, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to find everything I needed, but my local Walmart seriously had it all, from the vibrant decor and cempasuchil down to the fresh pan de muerto. 
Creating this with my parents has been such a beautiful, healing process. I learned so much about the tradition, like how October 27th welcomes back our pets, November 1st is for the children, los angelitos, and November 2nd is for the adults. Everything you need for your own ofrenda is at your local Walmart. 
💭 Who are you keeping close to your heart and remembering this year? 👇🏽

🌍As a travel content creator, it’s impossible to i 🌍As a travel content creator, it’s impossible to ignore reality: extreme weather is rapidly threatening the very landscapes we love. That’s why I’m starting a new series with @extremeweathersurvivors to bring awareness to what’s happening across our world. 
Our travels have shown us the warning signs firsthand:
📍 Uzbekistan: Central Asia is home to one of the world’s most severe environmental shifts, the near-total disappearance of the Aral Sea, paired with rapidly rising desert heat. I didn’t even know the extent of it until I started researching for this series.
📍 Mexico City: The crisis here isn’t just about breathing clean air. Severe pollution actually drives and worsens extreme weather patterns, creating a dangerous cycle.
📍 Japan: From record-breaking rainfall and devastating floods to unprecedented heatwaves, even the most infrastructure-ready places are being pushed to their limits.
It’s a heavy reminder that these beautiful corners of the Earth aren’t guaranteed to be here forever. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more about how extreme weather is actively changing the places we visit and how it affects all of us. 
Have you ever visited a place that made you feel this way? Let’s talk in the comments. 👇
