I have been dying to see Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks but I didn't want to drive (I get tired easily if I drive too long), so back in August, I booked a bus tour through Tours 4 Fun for $439 for 4 days, which also included hotels! The company also had 4/5 star [...]

I thought I'd do a giveaway to one of my favorite online women's fashion retailers based in LA (and in my opinion, the best online retailer), Revolve.com!
