Over our really long snow-cation this month, I tried out a new product. Shady Sun Tanning and OMG guys....I have never loved a sunless tanner this much. It's organic, cruelty free, customizable, and never orange. I've used a lot of sunless tanners in my day and this one is by far the best one. The … Continue reading Shady Sun

Downtown Strolls
Over Christmas Mom and I took a stroll down Main Street. I love seeing all the decorations in town plus there was some live music playing at Sundial Books. Most people don't realize the amount of local events that go on here. We have a lot of fun, even this time of year. My mom … Continue reading Downtown Strolls
Sunrises in Paradise
I LOVE that the beach is just a few miles outside my door. There is nothing better than the ocean. A few weeks back, my aunt Jamie and family were here visiting for Thanksgiving. We were fortunate enough to have them here for a nice long stay. I feel like we never get to … Continue reading Sunrises in Paradise

The Chincoteague Cultural Alliance hosted a fun drinking sunset cruise this past weekend. Free drinks and food with the purchase of your ticket. The boat took us (almost) around the whole island.

Sometimes though we can't help but stress over the little things, especially when it's summer and bikini season. Here are some things we all worry about (when I say we, … Continue reading Things You Shouldn’t Be Self Conscious About…
Sanderling Resort
We visited Sanderling Resort this past weekend. When I say we, I mean myself and 11 other girls. My best friend, Hope, is getting married in 2 weeks so we had a last hurrah for her. Sanderling is a beautiful resort and spa in the Outer Banks. We spent so much time beaching it up … Continue reading Sanderling Resort
Packing process
I'll be going to the Outer Banks this weekend. Surprisingly, for the FIRST time! I don't live that far way from the OBX. It's weird though..... living at the beach and going to another beach...isn't it? I absolutely LOATH packing. I never know what to pack, what everyone else is packing, what if the weather … Continue reading Packing process

Finally sharing what I use and why! Hint...cause these products are the BEST. Most of these you are supposed … Continue reading Kate Somerville
