As you all know I’m all for maximizing weekends so about two weekends ago I hit New Orleans solo for 48 hours! While most think it’s solely great to visit for Mardi Gras there’s much more to make you visit year round. From the rich history, culture, and cuisine this magical city has stolen a piece of my heart. Where to Stay If you love being in the midst of the party opt for being in the French Quarter. However, since I…
Being in South Florida where it’s practically summer all year long staying hydrated is key. Yet drinking enough water is something I struggle with daily. So to help increase my daily intake and cut some sugar from my diet I’ve swapped soda for sparkling water. To avoid drink monotony I’ve partnered with Perrier to try their flavored line which includes Lime, Pink Grapefruit, Green Apple, Lemon, L’Orange, and new this summer Strawberry & Watermelon. I was definitely excited about the latest…
“You will always grow through, what you go through.” – Tyrese Gibson As humans, we only tend to share what’s good in our lives but become radio silent otherwise. We sweep all the bad phases, relationships, friendships, and losses under a rug as if nothing happened. Even though these very people/situations we attempt to sweep away actually make an impact (good or bad) in our present day life. Losing people whom you loved can either carry/release a lot of weight…
A little over 3 years ago I caught the solo travel bug and ventured to California for Coachella. There was some initial fear leading up to the trip, however, it ended being eye-opening and truly one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. Next week marks my 6th solo trip and to celebrate I’m sharing the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Lesson 1: You are the master of your destiny Solo travel is the ultimate indulgence. It…
Cheers to another Swim Week that has come and gone! Every year people flock to Miami Beach for a lineup of fashion shows and parties showcasing the upcoming Spring swim & resort wear collections. For me, this was my 4th official Swim Week but my 2nd attending as a blogger. Unlike previous, this year’s events spread throughout the city and even made it all the way to Brickell. I kicked off the week at MIAMI Magazine‘s 9th Annual Splashion at Nikki Beach.…
Summer in Miami equals bipolar weather vibes tied in with burns from your seatbelt buckle. Since going into hibernation until it’s “nice out again” isn’t an option here are 5 activities to keep you cool this season. The Beach Way to state the obvious right? However, it’s a luxury most of us don’t take advantage of throughout the year. If you’re looking to just layout and relax head over to Key Biscayne, North Beach, & Hollywood Beach for less touristy…
Even though you know 3 Ways to Travel like a Pro, sometimes ending up on a budget airline is inevitable. With such cost-effective fare, you lose the luxuries other airlines provide unless you’re willing to pay a hefty fee. I recently flew Spirit and the cost to take a carry-on roundtrip was damn near close to another flight! To make matters worse, they had just reduced the size of their free personal item to “18 x 14 x 8 inches (45 x…
Many of us wish to travel but often don’t do so because of the many costs associated. But what if I told you that you could take these trips by simply making these (3) slight adjustments to your current thought process & lifestyle. Let’s begin… 1. Be Flexible with your Dates & Destination If you asked me “Where to next?” I’d have no idea to be quite honest. Although I’ve shared a 365-day bucket list (here) earlier this year it solely…
Time sure does fly when you’re having fun. After a month long of traveling and festivities, one could definitely indulge in some self-care!

During this time locals and tourist alike can visit some of the best spas in Miami and indulge is treatments as low as $109. Here are (5) of my favorite spa month deals this year: 1. Lapis, the Spa…
Don’t want to deal with the hustle and bustle of Miami or Fort Lauderdale? Then head over to Gulfstream Park a beautiful open-air destination I frequent often. Whether you’re looking to take your chances in the casinos, watch the horses race, shop for unique pieces for your home and wardrobe, or simply dine & drink at one of the many restaurant/bars; there’s always something for everyone! Plus there’s even more on the way like a karaoke bar and movie theater…
