There is so much to see and do at the LA County Fair. From the beautiful gardens to the miniature trains, there is something for everyone. Two weeks ago we visited the LA County Fair. First we started out in the farm section to see all of the animals. The fair has drastically improved the farm /animal section. In the past I remember that horrible farm smell. Well not anymore!

EXPERIENCES vs. THINGS
Since deciding to become more minimal we have been putting our time and money into experiences rather than things. I feel it is very easy to be tempted by a brand new car or the latest phone, but lately I have been making a conscience effort to avoid buying new things and instead trying to get out and do more. An experience stays with you forever and makes you grow as a person in ways that "things" just can't. Of course there are times when we have to buy something, but for me … [Read more...] about EXPERIENCES vs. THINGS
Minimalist Packing for a Maui Trip
Here I am, a minimalist packing for a Maui trip! This is how I pack as a minimalist. When we packed for our vacation to Maui I did everything I could to pack like a minimalist. I put all of our clothes out in piles and carefully thought about what we would wear and what we didn't need. I took things out that I know we just wouldn't wear, and even after all of that thought I still brought stuff we didn't end up wearing. Watch below minimalist packing for a Maui trip … [Read more...] about Minimalist Packing for a Maui Trip

NEW ZEALAND 2018 PART 3
We had one really fun night out on the town. The funny story about this night was when I was trying to get ready! It was 100% humidity (and I am not joking) and I took a hot shower! Why did I do this? I got out of the shower and I could not stop sweating. It took me forever to get ready because its impossible to put makeup on when your face is wet with sweat. This actually made us late to the party we were going to. We had the best time out! After the first party we met … [Read more...] about NEW ZEALAND 2018 PART 3
