    Keeping Your Loved Ones Close After Death

    April 12, 2023 /

    The idea of losing someone you love dearly is never nice, but unfortunately, it is something that everyone will go through – and more than once for most of us. For some, it is the loss of siblings and parents; for others, it is grandparents, best friends or pets.  One of the things that people like to do and often struggle with is how they can celebrate the life of their loved one – and how they can keep them close.  In the early weeks, it can be a difficult thing to think about, as often denial, upset, and worry will be prevalent at the start. Over time, and when…

    Explore Chacchoben Ruins and Blue Lagoon in Costa Maya, Mexico

    April 4, 2023 /

    Photos, story by Cassie Hepler When I was planning which cruise to take with Princess Cruises, I was obsessed with the 10 day cruise from Galveston, Texas because it included the Cayman Islands and Belize. As part of the press trip package, we were limited to 7 days so I chose the one that included Costa Maya which borders Belize and shares the same reef territory, great for snorkeling and diving. Costa Maya is also free from high rise chain hotels leaving its lagoons, archaeological gems and coastline free from clutter. And the 7 day cruise still stopped to see Roatan, Honduras so most bucket list items were checked off.…

    Why You Should Go Hiking

    March 16, 2023 /

    Image source: Pexels When it comes to fitness you might be asking yourself whether or not walking is worth it. Firstly, walking is absolutely worth it if you are trying to become fitter and healthier, but hiking takes walking to another elevated level. Hiking is one of those activities where you can rest, relax and exercise all at the same time. You’re resting away from your home or office, you are relaxing because you are in nature, and you’re exercising because the movement that you are doing will help to tone and keep your muscles fit.  When it comes to exercise, if you don’t want to join a gym, you…

    5 Herbal Medicines To Help You Beat Stress

    March 16, 2023 /

    Pexels. CCO Licensed. Looking for a way to relieve stress? There are many herbal medicines with stress-relieving properties that could be worth trying. Below are five prime examples.  CBD CBD comes from the hemp plant. It is essentially the ingredient within cannabis that makes you relaxed, but without the high. Studies have found CBD to be very effective at reducing cortisol levels (the hormone that makes you stressed). On top of this, it can improve sleep quality and even provide pain relief. There are a few different ways to consume CBD including as an oil from a tincture, as a pill, as a vape liquid or even as a gummy…

    Cruising from Galveston, Texas with Princess Cruises

    March 10, 2023 /

    Story, photos by Cassie Hepler We had been discussing this press trip for well over a year, deep into the peak of the pandemic where cruise ships were still requiring masks and proof of vaccine before boarding. I am unvaxxed (and DGAF if you are or not, your body your choice) and thought it odd to not just test everyone before boarding as well as the staff on board at each port. To me that seemed like the best way to screen folks – and still does to be honest. So when they lifted all the restrictions, I was ready and raring to go – especially with this very oddly…

    Escape to a Slice of Heaven in Catalina Island, California

    February 5, 2023 /

    Story, photos by Cassie Hepler (unless otherwise noted), I’ve officially dubbed Santa Catalina Island California’s mini Hawaii, minus the natives and hefty price tag. It has that same laid back, relaxing yet magical vibe. Situated 22 miles southwest from Los Angeles, CA, it feels like another world away as it is only accessible by boat. Our transportation choice was the Catalina Express, which offers three ports to choose from: San Pedro, Long Beach and Dana Point. Long Beach was closest for me driving in the day before from Phoenix but others are just as well. With up to 30 departures a day, it’s a no brainer to take this vessel…
