Travel: New Brunswick Staycation

Allie Beckwith July 2, 2020

Hi guys!! I am so excited to share this post with you guys! Most of my readers are New Brunswick based and we’ve created a Saint John New Brunswick staycation perfect for a weekend getaway! The beauty that New Brunswick has to offer is not something to be overlooked. We are SO close to the ocean, obviously my favourite, but we are home to some amazing local shops, restaurants, waterfalls, trails and unreal views. I’m happy to get to share some of my experiences with you from last weekend. Hopefully you make some time to check out these spots this summer.

HAWAII VIDEO

Allie Beckwith January 17, 2020

Hi guys! I promise more Hawaii content is coming! I’ve been so slack with getting it up here but to be honest, coming home with such an insane amount of photos and videos made me feel so overwhelmed. I’m going to categorize them and organize soon! In the meantime, check out this recap video! We just watched it back for the first time together tonight and it gave me a kick to just post it! We miss it so much. Wow

Travel: How we flew First Class to Hawaii & Stayed at The Ritz Carleton using Credit Card points

Allie Beckwith December 12, 2019

Ok! I am so happy to have this all in one place! I get questions about how we did this, daily. I needed Justin’s help to put it together because he did most of the research. Lol. Credit card companies frequently give out very valuable bonuses to entice you to sign up for one of their cards. Justin & I, (mainly Justin lol) have spent a lot of time going through the best deals and so far we have been very successful in getting a lot of value out of these, all without paying a single cent in interest!

Travel: A weekend in Downtown Vancouver

Allie Beckwith November 8, 2019

The end of 2019 has been filled with travelling to new and exciting places! It’s been a bit of a whirlwind of not knowing the day or time zone but I’ve loved every minute of it! Before Justin and I started our Hawaii vacation we decided to have a quick stopover in Vancouver since it was on the way and we had never been! We had an amazing 3 day 2 night stay and I can’t wait to share with you our fave Vancouver spots. I love love love Vancouver’s laid back coastal lifestyle mixed with the urban city life!

Travel: Tips for Packing only Carry-On Luggage

Allie Beckwith October 11, 2019

Hi guys! I write this as I am on a flight from Calgary to Chicago. Pretty crazy that there is WiFi this high in the sky. If you’ve been following along on Instagram you might have seen me go on and on about how I am too chicken to check a bag these days due to lost luggage, etc. After backpacking in Costa Rica a couple of years ago, I began to realize how little you actually need when traveling. For that trip, I had only a backpack for 2 weeks. Since then, I am pretty determined to only pack a carry on when possible. If you are traveling to warmer climates, it’s a lot easier to pack with only a carry-on. It’s when you start to run into fall and winter months that this gets a little tricky.

Allie Beckwith June 12, 2019

With the weather warming up and summer travel plans approaching, I thought I’d share with you guys some tips and tricks to traveling with a dog - especially a large one, lol. As most of you already know, I have a Bernedoodle named Mason. (@masonthebernedoodle) LOL. We LOVE to bring him along with us when we travel, but traveling with a dog is sometimes comes with it’s challenges.

Argus Audiology: Everything you need to know about your hearing!

When Argus Audiology reached out to me a while ago I was a little unsure about how we could partner. I’m young, why do I need to go get my hearing checked out, it really made no sense to me- at first. The more I started to think about it and as a few months went by I really started to mention to Justin more and more that I DID think I should get my hearing checked after all, (he IS always saying I'm never listening to him lol).

Home Series: Master Bathroom Reveal

IT’S HAPPENING! We are finally finished the shared master bathroom! I am so excited and we have been enjoying the finished product for about a week now, just putting together the final touches. If you remember from the original home tour when we moved in, the whole house had so much wood, and was just outdated. All of the rooms, bathroom included, were a great size and pretty good layout. They just needed a little refresh!

Art hacks

Through the many years of putting my thoughts and ideas on paper & canvas, I’ve grown long lasting relationships with supplies that allow me to create all my works that I know and love. Every artist out there knows the struggle of finding that perfect white paint that will remain faithful, or that one fine tip black pen that perfectly adds detail to their acrylics on canvas. Today I’m here to share my go-tos!

My sunless tanning routine

Hey guys!! This may be my most frequently asked question of all time, maybe tied with hair extensions (and that ones coming soon too!) Lol. I have been using this tanning foam for years and I absolutely love it. It makes you SO dark, immediately, and then develops even darker over the following few hours. The price is what seriously knocks it out of the park. It is the most affordable that I’ve ever found and no other ones even compare to it’s price.

Home Series: DIY Concrete Backsplash

Hi guys! SO excited to share this process with you. We were so stuck on what to do for our kitchen backsplash and I am so tired of seeing white subway tile in kitchens. LOL. I knew I wanted something solid coloured and that didn’t take away from anything else like our marble or butcher block.

My 3 Month Hair Growth Journey

Hi guys! Honestly I never thought I would ever be in a place to FINALLY talk about my hair growth. Lol. It has been such a struggle for me, for literally years. I could never understand it, my hair dressers could never understand it. People would always say it was probably because of my extensions, or because I would bleach it, or that it was growing. I never believed any of the above lol. My arguments were: As much as you see me with my extensions in, in photos or at events, is maybe 2 times per month. I do mainly all of my shooting in one day for Instagram & the blog. And I very rarely get ready and go anywheres Lol. I work from home every day barley brush my hair. So to think that my extensions were ruining my hair, just did not convince me. Bleaching it, of course dries your hair out, so I took 6+ month long breaks between getting my hair done for the past, almost 2 years, and still nothing. I did frequent hair treatments to make sure the moisture was locked in and that my ends were never getting to dry.
