Reviews
Every hotel, restaurant, cruise, and experience we've reviewed, in one place — detailed, honest, and first-hand.
Life with little ones is busy and getting them from place to place can be challenging. Chris and I knew when we were looking for a stroller to accommodate our two boys, we needed something that was functional and high-quality, but still stylish and easy to travel with. This is really like our kids' little “car” for the next few years, so we wanted an investment that would be comfortable for them and practical for us. Enter the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 stroller – a stroller that can be used from infancy and can accommodate a busy toddler too. Just like car shopping, we started comparing strollers and visiting a few different shops to see what we liked. The differences really started to stand out. Some strollers are massive, some feel really cheap and like they wouldn’t stand up to toddlers and others seemed more focused on cute features that weren’t practical. For us, UPPAbaby was leagues above the rest. Their strollers have the function and durability we were looking for, along with a stylish and sleek look. The UPPAbaby Cruz V2 stroller was our pick for the best fit for our lifestyle. We needed something light and easy to travel with … no one wants to be that parent trying to juggle getting onto a train or plane with an unwieldy stroller and kids in tow! It also has the durability I wanted because this stroller needs to survive not only kids, but airport baggage handlers and all kinds of terrains and roads. And it also had to accommodate 2 kids. We’ve used other stroller brands in the past and found that UPPAbaby really stands apart from the rest with how effortlessly it combines practicality with sleekness. It’s the perfect stroller for our adventures – from getting groceries or heading to the park at home to loading it on a plane for a family vacation. It’s also a great fit for both our kids because it has the unique “piggyback” accessory that our oldest (he’s 3) just LOVES. The PiggyBack Ride-Along Board attaches to the back of the stroller for the “big kids” to stand on. He thinks it’s his own little skateboard and we love that it gives his feet a break while we are out exploring. This means no more lugging around multiple strollers or having to carry a heavy child, all which saves so much time, space and sanity!

It’s been 2.5 years since I last visited Dany, here in Amsterdam, and a lot has changed since then. Like a lot. I am now a mother of two, the world is still going through a global pandemic, travel has been put on a bit of a hold, but the biggest change - I am now so intentional with my time.
Truth be told, I thought the pandemic would make me more sociable. That I would come out of the rolling lockdowns like some sort of social butterfly, eager to do anything and say yes to all, but for now the opposite is happening and it’s okay. I have found a lot of peace from staying put for long periods of time and appreciating the city we live in more. I stopped taking visits with family for granted (we couldn't see them for almost 2 years thanks to covid) and I have learned to take the time to see what's actually around me. I’ve slowed down a bit…and I like it.
So like everything else in my world, I have become much more intentional with my skincare. I really am trying to focus on what works for me and not just what's the new hottest beauty product or trend. And like always, I am trying to simplify the beauty products I own and only keep what truly works and what I actually use (you know you have a dreaded beauty drawer filled with stuff you haven't seen in years too). So as soon as things started opening up a bit, I got in to go see Dany, to help revive my skin and help get me back on track with products I actually need.
