My little Beagle Max and I love to play outdoors. In our yard, at the dog park, and even on hiking trails, we have a great time exploring together.

But I always have the thought of “oh, we have to get home soon” on my mind when I’m out with Max, so I never feel truly relaxed. After talking about this with some dog-owning friends including Helen, founder of Hi5dog.com, my best friend, they suggested we all go on an overnight camping adventure… with our dogs!

And that is how Max and I ended up spending just over 30 hours at Malibu Creek State Park with some friends. Here’s what we did - and why I think you and your pup should try it, too!

I’ve always noticed that I love to have more accessories in the fall, and that is not limited to the obvious accessories like scarves and gloves as the weather cools down. Fall fashion dictates a need for add-ons like jewelry, hats, and of course: bags!

One of my favorite styles of bags to rock this season is a sling bag. I’m always on the go, and I love to be able to fit a lot into a bag and still be comfortable while using it. Sling bags for women work perfectly for this. They’re safe, secure, and can be surprisingly fashionable!

These are my 9 favorite sling bags this season. Check them out!

Once, my friend told me all about her weekend trip to Washington, DC and how much fun she had there. She couldn’t stop talking about the cupcakes she ate, and she still brings them up every single time we eat dessert.

As a California native, DC isn’t a place that I ever considered for a weekend trip. The flight takes more than five hours, after all. Usually, I stick closer to home for weekend trips.

Still, her story about her trip stuck in my mind, so I finally took the time to visit Washington, DC for a week. And it did not disappoint me!

My only goals were to see the sights and eat some delicious food! I made a rough itinerary, but I also left some time open to explore.

I’d love to tell you more about my trip, so I’m going to break down what I packed, what I ate, where I went, and how I prepared for this trip! If you have been thinking about visiting Washington, DC but haven’t made the trip yet, this is your chance to start planning!
