Hey there. Long time, no talk. It’s been 3 years since I’ve posted anything for B.E Publishing, so I wanted to give you an update.
February is the month that NEDA has deemed Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

The reopening of Cuba not only provided an exciting destination for US tourists but encouraged many of our creative friends to journey south and beautifully document the country. Photographers, stylists, writers all journeyed to see and experience—most if not all, for the first time.
It’s no secret that I’m going stir-crazy. The thought of travel has consumed my mind and after being stuck inside due to an ice storm (read: cabin fever with a toddler is on another level of nutty). So in honor of needing an escape—which I am certain you need as well, I am rounding up my five favorite virtual travels for you. Turn your phone on do not disturb, and dive right in.
What could be more romantic than touring the Amalfi Coast with your love? After being gone for nine months, Hannah and her boyfriend chose to travel the Amalfi Coast by rental car.
I moved to Vienna in January to find her charms buried in hibernation. I’ve watched with eager anticipation, her awakening. After a long winter’s sleep, Vienna comes alive in the spring. Quaint street markets open with tulips in every color, as the first sunshine peeks through late winter clouds.
We loved every inch that we were able to explore in Prague. From the main attractions such as Old Town Square, walking along the Charles Bridge, St. Vitus Cathedral, and Prague Castle to the unending and timeliness cobblestone streets and alleyways. This is a city you’re able to 'get lost' and enjoy every second of it. Prague has this unique charming and nostalgic quality that leaves you breathless.
Our adventure began in Paris, where we filled our days wandering through the quiet streets of Montmartre and Marais and ended them admiring the Eiffel Tower, sparkling in all her glory, over banana nutella crepes.
There were a lot of lessons I learned from Italian culture during my trip. Not saying Italy or Europe is perfect – it’s easy to over-romanticize that part of the world. But there was one concept that stuck in my mind the whole time I was there and looking back, I am going to call it: “More Better.”
First impressions last a lifetime, or so they say, but should first impressions outweigh one’s collective experience? On a recent trip to France, Stephanie and Stephen found themselves at odds with some preconceived notions of French culture. Would the people be kind to them? Would they feel unwelcome? Or worse, would they be denied their fair share of French crêpes?
For many years, I was especially enamored by the ethereal beauty of autumn in the east coast, which soon became an item on my bucket list. My husband and I thus spent one of the mornings walking through Central Park, taking in the changing foliage.
From culturally rich historical sites to lush landscapes, cuisine both artfully presented and deliciously crafted, Japan is a travel destination I find myself drawn to repeatedly, discovering new inspiration with each visit.

At the end of February, when the world began spiraling into unfathomable chaos and confusion, I found myself on vacation in a silent city, one that ordinarily buzzes with life. What now feels like a lifetime ago, I was wandering the quiet streets of Venice in awe. The seriousness of the pandemic was admittedly an afterthought and I selfishly raptured in classic Venetian scenes that would typically be overrun with tourists.
Picture your favorite moment of the entire trip. If you were to take me there, what would I see, hear, smell, feel, and taste?
Hands down my absolute favorite moment of our trip was hiking to Makalawena Beach. You have to travel over a rocky terrain of lava rocks but once you get to the secluded beach you are blessed with the most beautiful view. Because it's so remote, there was no one else around and all we could hear was the peaceful sound of the crashing waves from the crystal clear blue water and smell the saltwater in the air.
Ready to forgo a wedding and elope in NYC? These five spots are romantic, quirky, and ideal for social distancing.
In Southeast Oklahoma lies an expanse of blue water punctuated by mountains, wildlife reserves, wooded forests, and even a swamp. McCurtain County, Oklahoma is home to Broken Bow Lake, The Oachita National Forest and Mountains, and the swamps and wetlands of Little River. I traveled to McCurtain County for a day-long trip to explore the area and bring you the best scenery, photoshoot locations, accommodations, and spots to eat.
What is the best way to treat your guests when it comes to a destination wedding? A welcome party, of course! Especially when the destination wedding takes place in the queen of Dodecanese Islands— I am talking about Rhodes Island of course, which is one of the hottest Greek destinations in recent years.
Combining beautiful spaces, the breathtaking geography of Le Marche, Italy, a divine food spread, wedding inspiration, and crisp fashion into one impeccable shoot, how could we not be inspired?

In these challenging times, I hope these photographs serve as a reminder of what a great privilege it is to be able to roam our outstandingly varied planet.
Traveling alone, while it can most certainly have its challenges, can also be one of the most fulfilling experiences of our lives. In our busy world, time is a luxury that, as women, we never seem to give ourselves permission to take. When was the last time that you spent an entire day alone with your thoughts, and without the constant distractions of modern life? When you travel alone, every single day is an opportunity to grow and better yourself -
While we are at home with our loved ones, stressed about our health, income, and the future, let us focus on the moments spent doing what we love. Let us focus on the time spent with the people we love because this time is also fleeting; It will pass. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if instead of ruminating on the chaos, we remembered it for the beautiful, quiet moments instead?
The Adelante House is a boutique guest house situated in the historic hidden gem of Javea, Spain—home to vineyards, plenty of outdoor activities, and over 20km of sandy beaches and secluded coves accented with turquoise waters. With three distinct parts of the town, one can get three vastly different experiences in one trip. Explore the ancient streets in Old Town, enjoy tapas and paella on an outdoor patio in the Port of Javea, or see what the nightlife is all about at famed club Achill in the Beach of Javea.
Here are a few inexpensive things to do in Paris :
- Walk around the Jardin de Luxembourg (the largest public park in Paris), buy a crêpe or ice cream from one of the food stands, and choose a bench for some people-watching.
- Explore Montmartre & visit Sacré-Cœur. I didn’t stop at Sacré-Cœur on this particular trip, but it’s a wonderful choice and one of my favorite places! Walking up all those stairs is so worth it for the view you get of the city. Montmartre is the area of Paris where the film Amélie was shot. It is very quaint, full of small shops and restaurants, and wasn’t very crowded on the rainy Sunday afternoon I was there.
New York City : an urban mecca for architecture, fashion, art, and food beckoning to be photographed. You’re not much for tourist traps, so Time’s Square and The Statue of Liberty are out of the question for your first trip to NYC. Not to worry, whether you’re seeking skyline views, or street-style fashion snapshots, these five neighborhoods have an array of photographic opportunities for first-time visitors sans touristy vibes.

It is important to shop small and support local all the time, but especially in 2020. Small businesses are in danger, and if you think that sounds like an exaggeration, it’s not. You would be hard-pressed to find a small business that has not been affected by COVID-19. So now, more than ever, please consider supporting small businesses.

Most people harbor the knowledge that stuff is just stuff, and love and family are what matters, but not everyone has such an extreme experience to underline that sentiment. As draining and traumatic as losing all your possessions is, Molly and Tyler seem settled by knowing that all that grand talk is actually true. Who they were before the fire wouldn’t have hoped for it to happen at all, but who they are after is relieved to know that great tragedy is accompanied by great knowledge. Knowledge of how loved they are and how even when they lost everything, people rushed in to replace it and offer help of any kind.

When I made this cake, I wanted it to be a centerpiece but not overly elaborate. Not only is it delicious but it is also filled with all kinds of nutrients. Mixed in are beets, zucchini, and carrots, which add a lot of richness. This is my go-to cake recipe because it’s not too sweet but brings just enough sweetness to my day whenever it’s enjoyed.
