Tips On Buying An Engagement Ring

If you've read my life update post, you know that I got engaged! I thought it would be fun to do some wedding related posts as I'm planning my wedding for next year.  I work in the industry so I have a lot of experience (bad and good) dealing with couples getting engagement and wedding rings. This one will be a "mini" post on, what I think, are the most important things to keep in mind when buying engagement ring.  I can't possibly put everything down in one post, so if you have any more questions about engagement and wedding rings, shoot me an email!

Paradisus Cancun Part II

Other than Bana, there are 8 other restaurants and 6 bars inside the resort. Even though the other restaurants, except for Tempo and La Palapa, were included in the all-inclusive rates we mostly ate at the buffet because we didn't want to make reservations. We also ate a lot of room service food!

Travel Essentials & Tips

I started travelling a lot with my parents when I was still in elementary school. We used to go on a family trip once or twice a year and I would depend on my parents to tell me what to pack. Now that I'm older and have travelled by myself a good number of times, I've determined what my must-have travel items are. Below are my top 5 travel essentials and some extra travel trips.

Paradisus Cancun Part I

As part of our prep for our wedding next year (click here for more details on the engagement and my ring), my fiance and I attended the My Dream Wedding Show in January. The grand prize draw for the show was a 4 nights/5 days trip to the all inclusive Paradisus Cancun, which was graciously provided by Marlin Travel. My fiance was lucky enough to win the grand prize! We've never won anything remotely close to this, so I couldn't believe it until I saw the email he received from one of the reps at Marlin Travel. 

We did have to pay for the flights and we decided to book them through Marlin Travel as well. After doing some research on weather and peak tourist months, we decided to go to Cancun in late April. I wanted to go during the last week of April for my birthday, but the dates I wanted weren't available. Apparently, we were quite lucky according to the doorman as it was raining the week before.
