Naxos may not have been on your radar, but it should be! It wasn’t on mine, until I found it on some “best places to go in the Cyclades” lists. I knew I wanted to see Paros and Naxos seemed to be a convenient place to stay between Mykonos and Santorini. I honestly wish we […]

3 Nights of Santorini Sunsets
By Mercedes Santana on August 24, 2019
When I pictured Greece in my head I was picturing Santorini. And it totally lived up to my imagination. It’s just as picturesque as it is on Instagram and the landscape of the Caldera is like nothing I’ve seen before. It you’re going to Greece, go to Santorini, it’s worth the hype. Day 1 — […]

I finally got around to sitting at my crafting table to actually craft. Half the time I sit here to work from home, so it was nice to change it up. For whatever reason, I am an extremely slow scrapper. I print the photos and then I tend to take too long to choose a […]

By Mercedes Santana on March 24, 2019
How am I barely writing about Disneyland? If you know me personally, you know I am a huge Disney fan! I was a Disney annual passholder nearly all my life! I had my quinceañera (the Hispanic equivalent to a sweet sixteen) at Disneyland Hotel. I even worked for The Walt Disney Company as an intern […]
I can’t believe a year has flown by so quickly! It feels like yesterday that I was toying with the idea of finally taking the leap to blogging. Now I’m about to humble brag because I am really freakin proud of this site. I built this entire site myself. Customized the modules, wrote the content, […]

Past Papers: Real Simple Magazine Feature Scrapbook
By Mercedes Santana on February 10, 2019
I have a degree in journalism and always thought I would be a magazine writer, but times have changed. I still love magazine and maybe one day I will work full-time for a publication, but now I can write when and what I want and freelance when I can. As my blog is coming up […]
