So we all know I am terrible at blogging, but for some reason after any Hope Taylor event I blog Recap it within two weeks…which is a pretty big deal for me. That alone should set the tone for how amazing this week in Charleston was with these babes!

This may just be one of the blog posts I am most excited to write! My sister and I have dreamed of visiting NOLA since we were little girls. I had visited once before to assist Karena Dixon with a wedding, but didn’t really have time to explore. SO, Laura and I decided to take a leap and travel together for our first ever sisters trip!

Let me just start by saying, writing this blog post is giving me all the feels. I want to begin by publicly thanking Fit Queen Irene for every single thing she has done in my life. She has moved mountains for me and opened doors to things I would have never believed were accessible! When she offered me the opportunity to follow her to Mexico last year for a week I was over the moon, and then things just got better when she invited me back again this year, but for two weeks! And there may or may not already be plans for a reunion next year.

Yes, you totally read that right! What started as a casual day trip to Philly in order to celebrate Emma’s birthday, turned into our public television debut! As I am sure you know, I am a huge shopaholic. Clothes, shoes, food, whatever you name I have way too much of. So it was only fitting that we started the celebrations shopping at Anthropologie in Philadelphia, PA! After money had been spent we walked outside just in time to see a pretty fancy camera crew walk by obviously in search of something.
