Well, ladies & gents look no further and purchase them a unique wood watch by JORD. But why wood?

Recently while doing laundry and cleaning my room I learned two things; the first being if I try to put anything else in my closet the rod would break, and the second being I’m a bit of a hoarder. After sharing how to become a better you in my last post 3 Ways to Succeed at New Year, New Me, I definitely had to get my own life together! With the number of goals, I’ve set for this year having a clutter-free living space is a perfect start…
At the close of every year you always hear the infamous “New Year, New Me”; however for the majority of us it often pans out to a continuous cycle of trying again next year. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure you’ve come up with an awesome game plan, have either completed some DIY Pinterest project, or purchased a number of items to help attain your goal (Trust me I’ve been right there with you!) but for some reason none of it seems to keep you on track. An industry friend posted the below on his social media pages and aside…
With Art Basel being one of the busiest times of year in South Florida a few days (or a week in my case) of R&R are much needed to recover! Here’s a mini-recap of my week along with some tips so you too can Basel like the pros.

This is one of my favorite holidays especially since over the years a friend of mine & her mom would host…
Despite the scare of Hurricane Matthew causing a shift of events, this year’s Carnival was definitely one for the books! Machel Montano’s “Waiting on the Stage” (song in recap video) was a huge hit for a majority of the mas bands this year as they displayed their vibrant costumes to the judges in hopes of securing Band of the Year with One Island Mas Band taking home the title again. Between all the performances, great food, and vibes you’ll want to make sure to join in…
Congrats, you’ve made it through the brutal summer heat! Even though in South Florida it’s only about 3 degrees cooler than before, it’s time to bring out the Pumpkin flavored everything and maybe have a legit attempt to order a hot beverage from Starbucks as we prepare for the infamous Florida winter (it was like 61 last year, don’t judge us). With the change of weather, it’s time for all the single ladies & gents to face cuffing season yet again. Personally, I’ve only been through it once and epically failed so I’m grateful that it…
