The Diplomat Beach Resort has done it again! Last weekend I got to experience the grand opening of their latest restaurant Monkitail, a Japanese concept by celeb chef Michael Schulson. Growing up in South Florida I’ve got to see the resort continue to transform & reinvent itself. The aesthetic and ambiance of the new lobby leading into the restaurant is definitely a wow-factor and makes you forget you’re dining at a resort. Their cocktails feature twists on classic cocktails along with…
At the beginning of the year, I shared how I wanted to transition to a more minimalistic lifestyle. How am I doing? I’ve made quite a bit of progress with my living space and just need to find the perfect accent pieces. However, I’m still not where I want to be for my capsule wardrobe goal. With the start of Spring, earlier this week, it’s the perfect time to re-visit the items I couldn’t let go and share some tips for some…

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…
Where has the year gone?! It’s crazy to believe we’re just two weeks away from Thanksgiving! Although a holiday mostly reserved for spending time with your family; myself like most others are equally grateful for their friends & colleagues. So how do you get the best of both worlds?
