About Me

Hi! I'm Samantha

I’m a travel and health writer, digital and brand consultant, breast cancer survivor, and supermum to two active boys! I keep it real and share stories of raising teenage boys, family life after a cancer diagnosis, and family travels around the world! Each story is shared with my dry, and sometimes naughty British sense of humor.

I took my two hot dates to an early screening of "The Flash" before its official release in theaters on June 16th ⚡️⚡️
.
Being a fan of the DC universe, the visuals are mind-blowing and the story-line is packed with twists and surprises. And let's not forget about the incredible cast! Ezra Miller is back as the charming Barry Allen, and we also get to see lots of other familiar faces😎⚡️
.
I promise, no spoilers here, but believe me when I say that "The Flash" is going to be an epic summer blockbuster that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
.
Mark your calendars, grab your popcorn, and get ready to experience the speed force like never before on June 16th⚡️

Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year

Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year as I joined the @tourdepier crew for the 7th year. Riding with @chrissyroth2 we were all united by a special mission: to raise money and awareness in the fight against cancer💕💕
🌸
Cancer affects so many taking away precious time from our loved ones.
🌸
Our ride was not just for ourselves, but for the countless others facing the challenges of cancer. Together, we can show our support and keep spreading awareness! Thank you to all those who generously donated💕

I was grateful to attend the opening night of SIX

I was grateful to attend the opening night of SIX at the Pantages Theatre, with my own QUEEN @romyraves, and we were blown away by the talent and energy on stage! 🔥🎭
.
The show tells the story of the six wives of Henry VIII, in the most creative, empowering, and fun way. The music, choreography, costumes, and the lighting were all top-notch, and the cast was simply phenomenal. Each of the queens brought her own unique voice and personality to the stage, and we couldn't help but cheer and root for every queen.
.
But what really made the night special was sharing it with Romy. She's not only a true blue but also a fellow theatre lover, and sharing these special evenings are moments that matter.
.
Thank you, @SixUSTour, for an incredible night of entertainment and female empowerment. And thank you, Romy, for being the best date and friend a girl could ask for. Can't wait for our next adventure! ❤️👑

Thank you, @MadisonReed, for making me feel so pampered and loved this Mother’s Day! This amazing gift box is filled with some of the most wonderful hair products and goodies I’ve ever used. 😍
.
As a mom, it’s often hard to find time to take care of myself, but these products make it so easy to have a great hair day every day. I’m especially loving the Frizz Away Shampoo and Conditioner and the Colorless Deep Conditioning Hair Mask that leaves my hair feeling so soft and healthy.
.
The gorgeous personalized bracelets from @littlewordsproject with my special words, ‘Mama’, ‘BadAss’, and ‘BoyMom’, could not have captured my personality more perfectly and I love that they’re stackable, so I can mix and match them with my other bracelets
.
And the @homesick candles are just heavenly! The “Mom” candle smells like fresh cut roses which is my absolute favorite scent in the world.
.
To all the amazing women who shower us with love, care, and guidance, whether you are a mom, stepmom, mother figure, longing to be mom, aunt, sister, or friend, your presence in our lives make a world of difference. Thank you for your unconditional love, support, and encouragement. We celebrate you and all the ways you make our lives brighter and better. ❤️

Summer break is just around the corner and we all

Summer break is just around the corner and we all know how hectic it can get for moms. Before the madness begins, why not grab your girlfriends and enjoy some fun in the sun at a beautiful pool? That’s where @swimply comes in - it’s a platform that allows you to rent private pools by the hour, so you can relax, unwind, and soak up the sun without having to worry about crowds or noise ☀️🍾💕
.
I recently tried out @swimply for the first time with my @themommybloggertribe and I have to say, it was amazing! We spent the afternoon lounging, swimming, and sipping on delicious drinks. It was the perfect escape and just what we needed to recharge before the summer craziness begins.☀️☀️
.
To add a personal touch to my poolside look, I wore my favorite hand-embroidered trucker hat from @Iam_mystorytees with my kids’ initials on it. And let’s not forget about my new favorite swimsuit from @magicswimsuit, which kept me feeling confident and stylish all day long.👙🧢☀️
.
I highly recommend checking out @swimply. Trust me, you won’t regret it! .

But we need to make sure he's looking his best for the big day and all those photos I'm going to make him take. That's where @meetmaree comes in!
.
We're prepping today with marine collagen eye gels and pimple patches! The eye gels are infused with marine collagen to reduce puffiness and dark circles, to help recover from his last week of parties. Plus, they're all natural and cruelty-free, which is a huge plus.
.
Thanks to @meetmaree, we're photo-ready and feeling confident for graduation day.

With Mother's Day around the corner, I wanted to share this gorgeous hand embroidered sweatshirt and trucker hat personalized with the boys' initials - they are the PERFECT personalized gift for any occasion!💕
.
The @iam_mystorytees custom embroidery is top-notch and they have so many options to choose from, so each shirt is as unique as the person wearing it. I LOVE their their muscle tank with California icon printing at the neckline, sharing my love for our beach each time I wear it.☀️💕
.
So go ahead and nudge your loved ones towards @iam_mystorytees for the perfect Mother's Day gift from this female owned small business! 💕

Just spent the most amazing time celebrating our 2

Just spent the most amazing time celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at @haciendaencantadaresort in Cabo San Lucas! The scenery, the food, and the poolside drinks were all fantastic. But what really made the trip special was being able to rock my favorite beach essentials. 🍹☀️🇲🇽
.
First of all, my @cabanalife cover-up was an absolute lifesaver. Founded by a skin cancer survivor, Cabana Life delivers stylish sun protection that you’ll actually want to wear. Not only did it keep me protected from the sun, but it also looked super cute too.💕
.
My @rayban sunglasses from @sunglasshut also kept me stylish while shielding my eyes from the bright Mexican sun. I never knew how much I needed polarized lenses until this trip!🕶️
.
And of course, I can’t forget about my @miraclesuitswim swimwear. The extra support and slimming effect made me feel confident and comfortable while lounging on the beach.☀️👙
.
My @replenix Hydrating Antioxidant Sunscreen SPF 50+ kept my skin safe from the sun’s harmful rays while also providing nourishing hydration. It’s a game-changer for anyone who wants to keep their skin looking young and healthy.☀️☀️
.
Here’s to many more years of love and adventure! ❤️❤️❤️

I’m four months into my @InBrace journey and I’m honestly AH-Mazed at how quickly my teeth are shifting to create my dream smile on autopilot.
.
A HUGE benefit for me is that I can eat and drink normally whenever I feel like it. There are no embarrassing messy aligners to remove in front of people... also there are no monthly tightenings or tray changes involved. My Smartwire® sits discreetly behind my teeth, and people have no idea that I’m in treatment. I feel as though I’m on the homestretch now and I’m dying to see the finished results.

8 years cancer free and counting! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

8 years cancer free and counting! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Maybe my body is finally realizing that we’re in this together and it should stop failing me. (NEW POST - LINK IN BIO)
.
It feels like both a lifetime and a blink of an eye all at once since I heard those dreaded words “I’m afraid it’s cancer”. 🌸
.
It was a wild ride, and not the good kind… more like a runaway train with no brakes going downhill. Today, I'm filled with gratitude for every moment I get to spend with my beautiful boys - the reason I fought so hard to beat cancer. I am overwhelmed with emotion as I reflect on how far we've come, and how much we've been through together. To all those who showed me love and support - I am beyond grateful you are in my corner. 🌸❤️🌸
.
Early detection saves lives... if something doesn't feel or look right... get it checked. I'm here today because of an annual preventative care visit. Please don't blow off yours.
.
Let's keep spreading hope and positivity to those fighting their own battles. Life is a gift, and I intend to make the most of it. ❤️
