There’s something so zen about walking around the mall. I love all kinds of malls, especially antique malls. It’s the absolute best feeling when you find something one of a kind. It’s practically real life treasure hunting. I love going to abandoned malls, or hanging out at the Westfield Mall is very nostalgic to me. Meeting up with friends at the mall or going to see a movie is just so classic. I really think it’s wild more current brands are not taking over malls again.

Doesn’t happen often but when it does I feel real. Also makes holidays feel real again.

When I was in my hometown for the holidays, my sister and I were very bored and very broke. So, we started just walking into random stores and just looking around. Just lallygagging. It was actually way more fulfilling and relaxing than actually buying anything. Because we couldn't get anything, there was way less pressure and we could just enjoy looking at things. We started noticing things that normally we would pass by, driven by the purpose of a purchase.
One day, we spent like 20 minutes smelling every single candle in the candle aisle at HomeGoods. Another day, we looked at the weird silverware and cups at TJ Maxx. We also frequented Half Price Books and skimmed old Microsoft Excel books from 2009 and Child Development books.
Don't limit yourself to Target.

I love the feeling of being sun kissed with a tan. This tanning oil really amplifies a golden tone to my skin and it’s just super classic, I feel like it was popular in the 80s or something. I love putting stickers on before I go lay out to give my self sun tattoos. It’s the perfect back country-playing in the river-being feral kind of tanning oil everyone’s missing in the warmer months.

Lala’s is one of my all time favorite dive bars in the South. It’s a year-round Christmas themed bar in Austin that makes the best Margaritas. It’s one of my places to hang out when I’m back home and shoot some pool.

I love historical places and seeing so many incredible places shut down and beautiful buildings over the last few years has been, honestly pretty devastating. I’ve heard rumors recently that The Queen Mary might be going away so I feel like it’s important to add this to my recommendations before they drop it into the middle of the ocean.Walking onto the ship you are just completely enamored by the gorgeous interiors, the history and the haunted essence it looms. Theres been so many concerts in the parking lot since forever and the ship itself is such all around a trip. I highly recommend stopping by for a cocktail at the Observation Bar and don’t miss scoping out the pool on your way out.
