Consider this your lifestyle go-to blog!

Now, you're probably wondering who I am & why should you care? Well, let me break it down for you.....

 I am a married 20 something who owns a photography boutique (Allie Marion Photography based in SoCal), co-manages two independent artists and does A&R (you will see us at The Grammys one day!) with DNT Entertainment, is a wife to an amazing husband, and a mom to a furry baby named Charger.

My background is in photography, marketing, design, PR, product development, and entrepreneurism. I have operated my own boutique business since 2009, which encompasses photography, marketing, and branding design. I have worked on 3 book campaigns with acclaimed speaker/author, Terri Sjodin, I have worked in creative environments, and I have worked in corporate environments. I have done it all.

Additionally, my husband and I recently started fostering Golden Retrievers, and are in search of a new addition to the family. (Fingers crossed for us!) We love to hike, travel, go to the river, host parties for our friends & family at our home, wine tasting, and the list goes on!

For your reference, here's a pic of me & my family:

Healthy Tips for Travel

Image
A guide of what to get (and pack) for your upcoming trip... I love to travel. It is one of my favorite things to do. Ever. I recently took a trip to London and Paris ( see here for the trip recap ) and a few items really helped save the day. There are so many things to remember to pack (especially for a long flight) so I have broken down a few of my favorite items here for you... Neck Pillow for the plane . Flights can be long, and without proper neck support while you nap you could get there feeling not rested and sore. Yikes! Here is a neck pillow I recommend. Traveler tip...buy this in advance and not at the airport to save yourself some money.  Click here to see my favorite one. Snacks. These are always important. You could end up falling asleep and missing food delivery. I am a professional at this. Also, you never know what the meal on the plane will be like and if you have a layover timing could be tight and it might be a long while before you are a...

Combating Perfectionism + Its Affect On My Pregnancy

Image
Many people attribute Perfectionism as a positive trait, I however do NOT... Way back when, while I was in search of my career, I would boast in my interviews about an excellent trait I have -- my perfectionism. Now, I am older, wiser and know better.  Perfectionism defined: R efusal to accept any standard short of perfection. I always wanted to be perfect and I always wanted to have a plan. Guess what though? Life doesn't go according to plan and it has taken me many years and repetitive reading of books by Brene Brown to accept  imperfection.  As Brene would say:  I did not want this to be me anymore. And honestly, I could go IN DEPTH and count all of the ways in which perfectionism had run my life for so many years. For the sake of quick reading though, I am going to dedicate this post to how it links with my pregnancy and infertility struggles.  With being part of the TTC community for over 5+ y...

Ginger Creates :: Valentine's Day Love

Image
" The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. " - Audrey Hepburn I love Valentine's day. A lot. You might be wondering why?...Am I right? I know that many people label it a Hallmark holiday created for people to spend money, and while I understand that, I just don't care. For me, V-Day is a day to show love and gratitude for the special people in your life. In my opinion, you should show love and gratitude everyday, but some times that just doesn't happen. Life gets in the way. And it is understandable. A holiday such as Valentine's day gives you the opportunity to really showcase your feelings towards another. It's much like celebrating your birthday. Shouldn't people spoil and dote upon you all year long? Of course. But your loved ones extra spoil you on your special day. It's all the same. My husband and I (well, I take charge on this) send Valentine's day cards every year in lieu of sending Christmas/New Year's/Holiday...
