5 National Park Alternatives in Southern Utah
The five national parks in Southern Utah are: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches and all are well-marketed and well-traveled. Looking for something different? Utah still has plenty of under-explored places tucked in and around the major parks. Here are five to check out on your next trip: Red Canyon If you have been to Bryce Canyon before, then you probably drove right through Red Canyon on your way. Highway 12 cuts right through the rock of Red Canyon, creating natural bridges that go up and over the road. It doesn’t have the dramatic flair of Bryce Canyon, but if you are looking for red rock trails without…

Walmart Beauty Haul (Birthday Edition)
My birthday was about three weeks ago, and I received a gift card for Walmart, so I decided to treat myself to a few makeup products that I have been wanting to try. Now, I have been using these products every day for three weeks, so here is my haul and my thoughts on each of the products I purchased: For The Face: My original plan was to purchase e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter, but this is completely sold out, so I decided to buy Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Perfector 4-In-1 Glow Makeup (in the shade “Light” $9.98.

Wanderlust Wednesday: California’s Spectacular 17-Mile Drive
Just the mention of California’s coastal 17-Mile Drive is guaranteed to bring gasps and huge smiles from anyone who’s experienced it (myself included since I am originally from the Bay Area). As one of America’s most scenic drives, the route meanders along the Monterey Peninsula passing through an area commonly known as Pebble Beach. Much of this idyllic wind-sculpted forested community hugs the stunning Pacific coastline with its rugged cliffs dotted with ocean-sprayed outcroppings. Though there are five entrance gates (Pacific Grove Gate, Country Club Gate, S.F.B Morse Gate, Highway 1 Gate & Carmel Gate), coming in from either the Pacific Grove or Carmel sides is highly recommended for the…

A Change Is Coming To Glam Budget Beauty
When I decided to start a beauty blog in March 2016, I knew absolutely nothing about blogging, blogging platforms, webhosts, designing a website, choosing a name for the blog, obtaining a domain name, etc. After some research and learning some blogging basics, Glam Budget Beauty was born using Blogger, a free blogging platform from Google. As I continued blogging throughout 2016, I learned about the WordPress blogging platform and I switched to the free version until I learned that my blog posts were not mine and WordPress (as well as Blogger) could remove any of my blog posts at any time, so I researched webhosts and found Blue Host, moved…
