Weekend reset, Palm Springs style 🌴✨

Booked myself a last-minute stay at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas — because sometimes even travel advisors need a mini escape 😉

This one came with an upgrade and complimentary breakfast (the icing on the cake to celebrate my niece’s birthday 🎂🎊).

When you’re ready to hit pause on life’s chaos and trade your to-do list for pool views, send me a message! I’ll help plan your perfect quick escape — perks included. ✨

Meet Jason, my new crush 🐴 tall, dark, handsome… and totally into carrots 🥕☺️

My impromptu staycation at brought me poolside luxury and pony-side cuteness at the Equestrian Center located right on site.

I’m so grateful to live in SoCal because it means these kinds of spontaneous escapes are just a quick drive (and a few horse nuzzles) away.

Swipe to see us chillin’ like we’ve known each other forever. 😎🐎

Let me help you plan your next impromptu getaway, DM to get started!

Happy Cambodian New Year! 🇰🇭✨

Cambodian New Year has me feeling nostalgic today. I love that we have a multicultural family and we get to celebrate new beginnings each spring.

Fun fact: Right now families across Cambodia are playing traditional games like Chol Chhoung (throwing scarves), Bos Angkunh (tossing nuts), and Teaghn Prot (tug-of-war but make it festive)!

The new year festivities last for three days where you splash water on each other for good luck and cleansing, and visit wat (temples) with offerings. 💦

Meanwhile I’m here scrolling through old photos of our wedding where I was a Cambodian princess for the day and that epic trip to Cambodia 14 years ago. 👑

Anyone else celebrating today? Soursday Chnam Thmey, friends!

You guys! I'm so excited to share that my family will be sailing on the brand-new Carnival Firenze this summer! 🚢🇮🇹

She took her inaugural sailing last month and is based on the West Coast with year-round sailings to Mexico. I have a few clients sailing on Firenze this year and can't wait for them to experience all its amenities - there's something for the entire family:

🍝 Over a dozen restaurants and eateries
🍸 Another half dozen lounges
💦 Three waterslides and a splash park for your younger sailors
⛳ An outdoor SportSquare™ featuring mini golf, a ropes course, foosball, and basketball to name a few
🎭 Live show productions, interactive games, and movies at the pool (super excited for this!)
🧖🏻‍♀️ Serenity Adults-only Retreat to relax
🪅 Kids Clubs and activities for all ages (it's going to be so fun for my 9 yr old!)

If anyone is interested in sailing with me this summer before school's back in session, please message me! It's always more fun with friends! 🚢
