  • #ad Have you traveled solo/alone before? Did you 💕 it? I'll be honest - it's my favorite way to travel (sh - don’t tell my husband!) Less noise, more bed & I can change my mind as often as I want 😂 - what more could you ask for? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think we can all agree that life is full of, well, life. You never know what tomorrow, or even today, will bring. Whether it be hectic, joyous, disappointing, exciting, stressful or satisfying - I'm always looking for more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ More what? More experiences. More food. More laughter. More discoveries. More life. 🙋🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But funny enough, recently this has also led me on a search for less. Less technology. Less stress. Less noise. 😖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I decided to take some time to explore more of my own "back yard" and take a me-cation. I chose Santa Barbara for my #solotravel trip and with so much to do, see and eat, I really appreciated having the @Expedia Mobile App to help me decide on where to stay and fun things to do on my little solo getaway. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Two days in Santa Barbara is definitely not enough time. I'm pretty certain a second (and probably third) me-cation is in order to complete my tour of Santa Barbara 🤗, but in the meantime, check out my stories withe say swipe up link for some of my favorite discoveries and tips. #Expediapic ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏼 https://www.surfandsunshine.com/the-perfect-solo-getaway-to-santa-barbara/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❓What do you like about solo travel? What destinations have you traveled to alone?

  • I have left my ❤️ in so many ports. #PortoPortugal certainly tops the list. Next time I visit, a stop at this restaurant with a view 😍 is definitely in order! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📍#Ribiera Porto, Portugal #MyVikingStory @VikingCruises

  • #Sponsored I recently took the plunge and committed to a beautiful deep cherry 🍒 red #haircolor - but honestly wasn’t prepared for the amount of after care #redhair needs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sadly vibrant red hair fades fast, but you can help keep it looking great for as long as possible if you know a few #haircare tips: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ Use color-safe, sulfate-free products like Love Beauty And Planet Murumuru Butter & Rose Blooming Color Shampoo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ Try not to wash 🚿 your hair every day. Red dye molecules are the largest so they wash out the easiest/fastest! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3️⃣ Use cold water 💦! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4️⃣ Keep your hair soft and shiny by using products with Organic Coconut 🥥 Oil. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5️⃣ Red hair bleeds when it’s wet. Every. time. So use a black towel to dry your hair and don’t go to bed with it wet. And don’t wear a white shirt in the rain 🌧, unless you want a pink one! 😂 (Yes, this happened to me!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ International #SelfCare Day is coming up on July 24. Show yourself a little self-love and try Love Beauty and Planet hair care products at CVS. I especially 💕 that they are vegan, cruelty-free and have 100% recyclable packaging. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟Spend $20 get $10 Extra Bucks WITH CARD on select Love Beauty and Planet hair care products (valid 7/21 - 7/27). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #CVSHairSelfCare #redhairdontcare #redhairdye

  • #CruiseLife on the Douro River... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s funny how you usually need a day or two to decompress after a vacation. Yeah - that “vacation from your vacation”. Dealing with crowds and lines, over scheduling sight seeing, staying within your budget, trying to figure out your next meal, being constantly on-the-go, not having enough time to explore or rest, or even just adjusting to jet-lag - these are just a few travel stresses that often take away from our vacation experience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is one of the things I love about River Cruising with @vikingcruises. It’s a much more laid back style of travel with many of your typical stressors eliminated and more importantly, plenty of relaxing down-time without missing out on anything! It’s a true “floating hotel” experience that I don’t feel drained from once I get home. 💕 #MyVikingStory

  • “Never stop doing things for the first time." — Anonymous ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My first time in Spain, and all I can do is walk around with this goofy grin on my face. Happiness is ... Exploring new destinations. A huge thanks to @VikingCruises for making this smile possible 🤗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📍Salamanca, Spain #MyVikingStory #VisitSpain #SalamancaSpain
