Travel Guide: Sacred Valley Day Trips
From Heels to Hills: 4 Foot Products to Have on Your Radar
During my trip to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley I traded my heels for sneakers and non-stop hiked. And now that it’s summer, that’s all I want to do! If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that a night on the town (in six inch heels) and a 3 hour hike have one thing in common: foot pain. So I brought along some of my trusted friends to help soften the experience and from heels to hills these are 4 products to have on your radar!
Peru Hotel Review: Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba, Peru
A few days into our trip through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu we headed about 10 minutes away from the town center of Urubamba, went up an unassuming dirt road and arrived at the Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba hotel. Traveling through some local farms and ranches, the hotel is located in a secluded nook of the Peruvian highlands, with postcard views all around. Being that the hotel itself is so new and the area so private, it was hard for our cab driver to figure out where it was. I see that as a great feature and luckily, I printed out step by step directions.
Maybelline SuperStay BetterSkin Foundation and Concealer
Foundations make a lot of claims nowadays. Everything from removing redness and evening skin-tone to protecting from the sun.

Avon Launches New Site Beauty for a Purpose
As some of you know, I have a long rooted history with Avon. Well, maybe not that long rooted when you consider the company has been around since 1886 when founded by David H. McConnell. While I was never an Avon representative, I did work for the brand in marketing for over a year in their Mark. division. And as you can imagine it was incredibly inspiring. Their commitment to women and all that they have done to create financial independence at a time when women didn’t have many options was truly impressive. And it’s that commitment that reigns them the title of largest global network on earth (on earth people!). Beauty has helped Avon empower more than 6 million women globally, which is how large their network of representatives is!
