Studies show vacation can break habits
Writer: Tawney
I just got back from three days in big sur (post to come) and my friend and I spent a lot of time discussing how new space can create new habits, how trips can be so refreshing and inspiring. What if we always focused on leaving a habit behind when going on vacation? Read more
It’s not about travel, it’s about LIVING
Writer: Tawney
Part of me wishes I could say Kayla and I have been off roaming South Africa or Alaska, but that’s not the case. We’ve been taking on all life has to offer, trying to squeeze the good out of the not so good. It’s always something, you know? Health, jobs, money, relationship issues… Waiting for all of those things to be perfect could result in a serious waste of time. With that said, it’s not about just accepting “life is tough” it’s about the way we’re LIVING and what’s holding our sense of importance. Read more

Vegas for all your bachelorette needs
Writer: Tawney B
I just returned from a few days in Vegas for a dear friends bachelorette party. I haven’t been to Vegas in a couple of years. To be honest, it’s not my cup of tea or I guess I should say bucket of pina colada. I’m happy to report I had a BLAST and of course had to share a few ideas for making the most of this landlocked cruise ship. Read more
It’s the Longest Day of the Year. Are you doing what you love?
Writer: Tawney
All we’re trying to say around here is, do the things that make you happy. Don’t let that voice of reason come in with CANTS and SHOULDNTS. You have enough hours in your day (especially today) to make time for something that makes the sides of your mouth turn up. We have all these things we “HAVE” to do, tricking us into believing we don’t have time for happiness. Read more
LLYOV Tip: Get a massage
Possibly the most important thing us (overworked unhealthy stressed out Americans 
can learn from the Asian culture is that massage is not a luxury it’s a necessity. Imagine how different things would be if your crazy boss, high-strung mother, or YOU treated yourself to an hour of relaxation every couple of weeks? Now, I’m well aware of the costs of an hour at the spa, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s GOOD FOR US and Read more

The Best Of Australia (East Coast)
Writer: Tawney
Must Sees:
Sydney Opera House (Sydney)
Just stepping foot in this amazing work of art feels like an honor. I’m not a big architecture buff, but this place made me jump for joy. I guess anything with a shell inspired shape would (although some say it’s an orange?). The Sydney harbor bridge makes a perfect next-door neighbor and together they make a dynamic duo, making Sydney one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been.

It took 2 near death experiences for me to realize how bad I needed change
Writer: Tawney
So, I’m off to Australia. I booked my ticket a week ago. I’ve been considering some sort of trip for the last month, but there were so many factors determining my availability to travel that weren’t in line until a week ago. I can’t believe I pulled it together. Here’s what inspired the trip:
