If you’re like me, you are always looking for ways to make your gift stand out and radiate just how well you know your gift receiver. This year, I wanted to wrap my gifts a little differently than years previous — I’m tired of the same old Happy Birthday paper and cheapo...

Ah, February 14th: dreaded every year by single folks and forgetful partners the world over. Heading into pretty much any grocery or drugstore in the United States for a month leading up to this holiday, you're met with a profusion of red and pink, chocolates and candles, and of course, dozens and dozens of deep red roses...

The word "hostel" doesn't necessarily evoke thoughts of adorable mini-hotels, thanks in part to a certain terrible movie, but also just the fact that it's usually so much easier to just grab a well known hotel/motel while you're traveling and call it a day.

Wanderlust strikes us all from time to time, and especially in the gloomier months of the year, it's hard to resist popping open Expedia to see what escapes they're currently offering. I decided to round up some pictures of places far and near to share with you all - places that are beautiful, haunting, exciting, and everything a sufferer of wanderlust needs to get through their Friday!
