Our Incredible Iceland Vacation

July 14, 2016

I never thought Iceland would be a place that I’d visit.  However, when my husband told me a few months ago that he needed to go to Iceland for a business trip, I asked him if the whole family could tag along.  Of course he said yes and I’m so glad that he did!  The trip was AMAZING!  Our Iceland vacation memories will last a lifetime.

The flight to Iceland is fairly easy.  We flew from Dallas to New York, then New York to Iceland.  The flying time from New York is just over 5 hours.  Not too bad at all.  We were in Iceland in June when the sun shines nearly 24 hours a day.  It’s fun and different, but not something I think I’d get used to.  People literally go golfing and do outdoor activities at 11:00 pm!

I want to share a few pictures from our amazing vacation along with a vlog type video that my daughter filmed and put together from our time in Iceland.  It’s definitely an inside look at our family dynamics too… Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!!


 You really need to watch this video!  It’s so much fun!!

I was proud of my action shot here and my husband was proud of his accurate snowball shot!

They have beautiful and powerful waterfalls.

The people were so nice and hospitable everywhere we went.  I personally loved how everything seemed to be so organized there too.  There wasn’t any chaos or anything like in the tourist areas.  Everything was pretty laid back.

What do you think?  Is an Iceland vacation on your bucket list yet?  If not, I highly recommend that you consider it!!

I’m over here with no regrets on breaking all the I’m over here with no regrets on breaking all the old fashioned rules of “no long hair” nor “dark hair” on a mature woman.😎

It was fun doing highlights in my hair for a little while, but I was ready to get back to my roots. I’m thrilled with my summer hair because it looks so much healthier.🤩

I always go with what I like, not what society dictates when it comes to clothes, makeup, hairstyles and more because I think we should all do what makes us feel happy and confident in ourselves.

Are you a rule breaker too?😉

They were gifted to me from the latest Lysse New York summer collection and I’m in love! Can’t wait to share more from the brand!

There’s just something about a flowy caftan dress There’s just something about a flowy caftan dress that instantly makes me feel chic, comfortable, and vacation-ready. ☀️🌴 

I’ll be packing this beautiful tropical vacation dress for Mexico next week because it’s the perfect resort wear piece for everything from a casual daytime stroll to dinner under the stars. Lightweight, effortless, and easy to style, it’s exactly the kind of outfit I reach for when I want to look polished without sacrificing comfort.

Are you team caftan when you travel? ✈️

I used mostly “new to me” makeup products today and I didn’t use a single makeup brush for this fresh-faced, natural makeup look.

Curious about any of these products from a variety of brands? Let me know!

The yellow and white striped dress seemed to be ev The yellow and white striped dress seemed to be everyone’s favorite from my reel the other day. I think it’s because of the pop of color. It’s a nice light seersucker fabric and can be dressed up or down. AD

My personal favorite is the chambray blue tiered dress. Are you surprised? 

All of these outfits are perfect for everyday life during the summer months. I’d wear them for work, errands, appointments, lunches, dates, shopping and more.

They’re all budget friendly! Comment for the LINKS. ⬅️

Having a stylist curate a box of fashion items jus Having a stylist curate a box of fashion items just for me was one of my best decisions.💗 #wantable_partner 

I get a box with 9 fashion items (tops, dresses, pants, shoes, purses, jewelry and more) that I get to try on in the comfort of my own home. I keep what I want and send the rest back. 

I’ve filled in the gaps in my wardrobe with some really cute everyday stuff over the last few months.💖

Thanks @wantable for always having my back! 🥰
