Being born and raised in the Poconos of Pennsylvania, I thought it was only fitting for me to write up a blog about one of my favorite spots to visit when I make trips home. I live in Pittsburgh full time, but I love coming home to the Poconos to see my family and catch a break from city living. Skytop Lodge is a luxury family resort in this neck of the woods. Since the lodge is pretty close to my hometown, I've never booked a room or stayed the night, but I can vouch for a ton of other perks this place has to offer. SOOOO let me tell ya about my visits!! This is the front of the lodge across from the parking lot. The building is already spectacular from the front, but just wait........for the back. When you walk in, you'll immediately be in the most aesthetic lobby. Inside the grand sitting area, there is a fireplace off to the left, a coffee shop in the center, and a dining room to the right. I find this floor to be luxury, but also super cozy at the same time.  Every year f...

Hey all!!! I am so looking forward to sharing this brand with you because of its unique story. Pre-COVID, the company was going to be a CBD oil start up. When COVID hit, the company switched gears to start selling COVID supplies. Dealing with trying to safe during these times became a lot easier when greensupply.com sent me a package full of their products! You can use discount code: Val10 for 10% off your order on greensupply.com ! Infrared Forehead Thermometer : OKAYYYY I love the fact that this thermometer doesn't even have to touch your forehead SO that means it can be used to take other temperatures without having to spread germs even further. The thermometers that sit under your tongue are terrifying to me because I'd never want another soul to use it besides me. Additionally, it should be sanitized each time since you're fully submerging it in your mouth. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU CAN USE THIS ONE FROM GREENSUPPLY.COM IN NO TOUCH MODE?!?  Hand Sanitizer Spray :...

 Calling all my beauty queens OR those who just need to be better organized in the beauty department (me lol). I am absolutely obsessed with these bags for not just traveling, but also just to use every day. I want to start by introducing the bag I received with my first collab I did with Ellis James Designs back in June.  If you are an OG follower on Instagram or have followed along since June, you've probably seen this post about the Tall Cosmetic Bag in black. When I received this bag, I IMMEDIATELY was feeling like I needed to be out with the old and bring in the new! My previous make up bag was from high school and was really beat up and stained. This new bag was a game changer and I could tell it was already better quality than my last one even brand new. I used this Tall Cosmetic Bag to travel a bit and of course, my bronzer cracks and powder is all over the bag. Does anyone else literally bust every single bronzer they get??? Anyways, I was freaking out because the ins...
