the lazy girls’ guide to @RueBaRue
As we get older — and, we’d like to think, wiser — we’ve learned to prioritize when it comes to travel-planning. Then, an app like @RueBaRue comes along and changes our minds. Previously, our planning went a bit like this. Once we settle on a destination, we spend our pre-trip time wisely. We find the perfect hotel (or villa or chalet or château, we’re not picky). We pick out a dream destination-specific wardrobe that we probably can’t afford. And then, we figure out what and where to eat and drink our days away. Us in Paris, not climbing the steps…

le château de la napoule // a photo tour
After our incredible stay in Cannes at Le Majestic, my body physically rejected leaving — seriously. Somewhere along the way, probably at one of the beachfront restaurants, both the hubs and I contracted food poisoning. When I was finally back on my feet, I was aching for an adventure. In the end, a tour of the nearby Le Château de La Napoule perfectly fit the bill. Backing up a bit, let me feel sorry for myself. Once the food poisoning hit, I spent the first official day of my 30s cooped up in a hotel room. And not even a…

baby travel packing // #lazybaby on the go with little peanut on the go
Like all first-time parents, I spent the week before our first trip with Margot asking a lot of questions. How the hell would we even conquer baby travel packing? We’re not even good at ADULT packing. And how were we going to function in France without everything we’re used to having on hand?! I’d wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, shaking over what we would do without our changing table and nappy bin and bassinet and boppy and THIS SERENITY STAR?! I kid. Mostly. That Serenity Star is awesome. Luckily, Le Majestic made our lives…

because we cannes // lazy baby at le majestic
We made it! We took our 8 week old on a plane, flew to another country, spent a week on the French Riviera, and here we are: back on the other side. Older, wiser, and a little more confident as parents. I obviously have plenty to share about the logistics of our first trip as a family of three. But first! I must sing the praises of the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic. No, seriously. This place might just be our most favorite hotel… ever.

foodie break // california love at salt’s cure
One of the best perks of my “real life” job is that I occasionally get to travel. Back in February, when the east coast cold had me feeling blue, I was happy to escape to Los Angeles for a long weekend. With work events on both Friday and Saturday, I didn’t have too much down-time to enjoy LA. But when traveling for work, I always try to squeeze in at least one or two moments of “me” time. I try to explore my surrounding area, or if I’m lucky, enjoy a nice meal. This time, I had the honor of…
