After another week away from this series (honestly, I forgot I was doing this “How I Became Me” series last week after working a 1-9pm shift and, as I often do, whipping off a zero-effort post to keep my daily post streak alive instead of doing something a bit more in-depth and time-consuming.) Anyhow, […]
Reapply SunscreenI’m really bad for putting sunscreen on in the morning then forgetting to put it on again, at least until my skin starts to radiate heat outwards. 🙁 Stay HydratedRelated to that last one, there are a lot of things that can make you feel ill on a tropical holiday. When people get an […]
Okay, let’s resume the series I started before we left for Mexico where I write about some of the major things that have impacted the person I am today. The first four were my parents, my friends, books and travel (I won’t link to them here as I’ll probably do a master list at the […]
Officially, most all-inclusive resorts have a “no tipping” policy.

Last Things First! Usually this would be the end of my review but let’s get it out of the way right off the bat: Hyatt Ziva Cancun is the best resort we’ve ever stayed at! I mean, based on Ziva’s overall Trip Advisor rating (#6 out of ~200 Cancun hotels when I booked the trip, […]
Sasha and I visited her classroom earlier this week to share a bit about some of the animals we saw during our Mexico vacation.
One of the best parts of any trip is the funny moments that happen. Here’s a few from our recent trip: Hearing Justin Bieber’s popular Christmas song, “Mistletoe” on the van’s radio as we’re shuttled from the airport to our hotel. (It’s important to note that our trip was in late February, not December, […]
Back from a one week all-inclusive holiday (even from blogging if you can believe it!) but lots to start catching up on – a review of our resort for sure (last year, it took me three weeks to cobble together a review of our resort – I wonder if I’ll be quicker this year?) Also […]
