Chocolate Orange Madeleine Demo | Bite Sized Travel Treats!

You have got to try out this recipe for the upcoming holidays!

Whether you’re jetting off to the airport or embarking on a road trip, it’s always a welcome idea to tuck away a little comfort food and not always be at the mercy of the concession stands.  After all, traveling can be hectic and a little comfort goes a long way…especially during the holiday season.

When I think bite sized travel treats, this can be anything from bringing home sample sized foodie souvenirs, to picking up small nibbles for your hotel room, to tossing a goodie into your tote.  The options are endless… 

Are you familiar with Food52.com? Take a sec to explore – it’s a great community based/community created food website!  Stuck with a random ingredient you’re trying to use up?  

One of my favorite features is entering an ingredient into their search function, like “Pomegranate” and choosing “in recipes.”  Results pop up showing everything in their catalog that includes pomegranates in their recipes.  From there you can narrow it down to appetizers, salads, desserts, and so on to hone in on what type of dish you’re creating.

What’s In My Travel Toiletry Bag | Hair Edition

Necessity is the mother of invention… or so I’ve heard.

On a few recent trips, I’ve pulled together a go-to travel toiletry bag for various uses.  The one that I have to share with you first is what I use for my hair!  Events, destination weddings, business trips, or  what have you, take a peek into what I consider my hair essentials.  

Getting Started! Daily Vlogs (Oct 28 – Nov 1)

Hey Guys,

So I thought I’d try something new on my Candid Moments Vlog channel!

I’ve decided to give daily vlogging a try, so in the comment section below, let me know what you think.

I’ve vlogged a part of each day last week & condensed it all into one vlog for you guys.

The content is mainly focused on my progression, opportunities, & obstacles in carving out a sustainable career in the Tourism Industry.

Take a peek:

Morning Guys!

This is how I’m coping with Daylight Savings Time… 😜⏰

They’re fresh & hot out if the oven. Want one?

Now that I’m up super early I should tackle more editing. iMovie is amazing, but it’s been taking me ages to sort through all of the customization options & content is stacking up! Talk about a learning curve…

Hope you’re enjoying your weekend,

Meghan

Welcome To My Travel Channel!

In my pursuit to explore all things travel, I’ve delved into another platform… the world of YouTube!

My video content will be a mix of first hand footage and photos of my experiences. You can expect themes like: Beauty & Fashion Tips, Product & Service Reviews, Day Trip Suggestions, & Event Coverage.

I’m even toying with a second channel, Candid Moments, which will offer a more behind the scenes, impromptu, day-in-the-life vlog style content. More on this later…

Aquarium of the Pacific | Day Trip Travel Series

Photo Credit: Meghan Sexton

What: Aquarium of the Pacific

When: Fall 2013

Where: Long Beach, California

The buzz and chatter of the curious public greeted me as I entered the main lobby of the Aquarium of the Pacific. The Saturday swell of kids, volunteers, couples, and the like cued up to ohh and ahh over the marine life.

I think when you’re a local, you somehow tend to not take in what’s around you. For ages I’ve heard about the Aquarium of the Pacific, but have never managed to actually take an afternoon to explore what it has to offer.
