Fall Travel Diary

screen-shot-2017-02-28-at-11-28-30-am

Looking back on last fall, I feel pretty fortunate that I had a chance to travel to so many cities in one run with a career that I really enjoy. Growing up, I never traveled very extensively, but I always wanted a job that would not only take me to places, but allow me to see the cities that I was traveling to. When you’re thinking about a career before you even have one, you envision what your life might be like to have one of these jobs. Luckily, my busy travel season is just that – a season. Last year, I met someone who was previously a consultant and spent 4-5 days out of the week traveling for work. No, thank you. 🙂

This past fall, I spent nearly two and a half months “on the road” visiting Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Houston, and Boston (twice!) I have loved exploring America and I even found some hotels in downtown New Orleans
that I was going to visit. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to visit in the end but I would still love to go. Here are some of the photos I took from these trips; most of them just include the things that I ate, which as you can imagine…were a lot of carbs!

Philly was just the most darling. I really only got two days here, but I wish I could’ve stayed longer! What an incredibly beautiful city with so much charm to it.

Marshawn Lynch in Houston, Scotland

The events that occurred this weekend were deeply upsetting. We have a couple more posts tonight that aren’t as happy and chipper as we usually portray on Yow Yow! so before those happen, I’m leaving you with this: Marshawn Lynch being his best self in Houston, Scotland and with Skittles.

Yow Yow! In Houstin/Austin!

I thought I would give you all a heads-up… I’m headed to Houston/Austin this week! During the work week, I’ll be in Houston and then come Friday, my coworkers and I will be flying off to Austin for a weekend of non-stop eating, bar-hopping, shopping, and sun! There won’t be any posts while I’m gone, but I promise to write something up when I return so you can see all of the photos and see the places we went. I actually haven’t been excited about a trip like this in a long time. I’ve never been to Texas before or even the south for that matter. It’s always more fun when you can go somewhere new. Plus, one of my favorite college friends, Nicole, is currently living in Austin so it will be nice to see the city through her eyes. It’s her last week before she moves to Dallas. Have a great week y’all!!

P.S. you can follow all of my Texas adventures on my Instagram this week!

BHLDN Opens First Boutique in Houston

URBN Inc. opened up their first BHLDN boutique in Houston today and it is pretty much every girl’s dream come true. BHLDN was a new division of URBN Inc. that was created this year and designed to focus solely on weddings. In addition to providing bridal gowns, BHLDN offers dresses for various wedding occasions, decorations for the big day, and much more. The boutique is beautiful, but hopefully by the time I am expecting my own wedding, there will be another boutique located closer to me.

I LOVE THESE BRIDESMAID DRESSES!
