Club 33
by Jennifer | Feb 26, 2018
I had the most memorable and best time celebrating my husbands Birthday at Club 33. It felt like a night right out of a magical Disney tale. If you are unfamiliar with Club 33, it is a private club inside Disney Land park. It is for members only and their guests. It was first started (in 1967) to be a place to entertain, wine and dine corporate sponsors, since Walt Disney did not want alcohol served in the park. And to this day Club 33 is still the only place in the Disney land park that still serves alcohol. Disney describes Club 33 in these words “High above the streets of New Orleans Square, hidden from public view and the bustle of a typical day at Disneyland, is a page out of the old New Orleans that even the Creole society might have chosen and cherished as its own.”
Dove and Winter Skincare Tips
by Jennifer | Jan 19, 2018
I am so excited to partner with Dove on todays blog post to share some of my skincare survival tips. When it comes to winter a warm blanket, bright cheery colors and smooth moisturized skin is a must in my book! One of my personal go to products is my Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant in Coconut Care; it keeps my underarms smooth and dry all day! It provided 48-hour odor and wetness protection, plus added skin care benefits for softer, smoother underarms. Plus I love the way coconuts smell! Now that you know what I care for my underarms with this winter, read on as I share some other winter skincare tips from Dr. Barba and me.

Cotarde is a skin care line dedicated to globetrotter and avid travelers. So I thought it would be a perfect feature this long weekend since so many people are traveling or have vacations coming up.

I travel a lot! And I have always been on the hunt for the perfect weekender bag. The bag you can use as a carry on for the plane, the bag for a girls weekend away or the bag to bring on a train ride into the city. But I have always wanted a bag that is personalized to me and was made with high quality real leather. Well ladies I think I have found that “it” bag.

Sacramento King’s New Arena Is A Winner
by Jennifer | Feb 06, 2017
This past Saturday night we were lucky enough to attend the Sacramento Kings basketball game against The Golden State Warriors. We were excited to watch two California teams face off but we were even more excited to see the team’s new arena. The Golden 1 Center opened this past September and is nothing less than fabulous and state of the art. The arena is located right in Downtown Sacramento and building of a new hotel and shops are ongoing to around the arena. Getting to the arena was super simple and the parking garage is directly across the street and a very short walk to the Golden 1 Center, which is a huge plus when you have little ones with you.

Most of them with ingredients that are farm to fork. Today I am going to write about my two favorite quick sweets and eats. After or in between all that wine tasting you always need to refuel.

In addition to these wild and some endangered animals there are over 3500 plant species.

In these enclosures you will get a great view of some magnificent animals and even get a chance to feed a giraffe!
Unlocking The Magic At The Disney Store
by Jennifer | Jan 26, 2017
Unknown to many each morning the first guest(s) at the Disney Store gets the privilege of turning the key to unlock the magic and the store! I have only heard about this semi secret honor but never actually witnessed it until this morning. Savvy, Grey and I were already heading to our local Disney Store to shop their Twice Upon A Year Sale, so I figured why not get there early before opening and give this free fun task a try. Luckily we were the first family there. We got there about twenty minutes before opening. The outside LCD monitor read “It’s almost time to unlock your imagination”. We peeked inside and could see the Disney store associates had already set up a giant keyhole attached to velvet ropes. We knew the legend was true and we were going to be able to unlock the magic together.
