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…
It feels so good to be back home after traveling the past few weeks! As some of you may know every year I make it a point to escape the city and embrace the island life. This year, thanks to a deal my friend & I discovered on Groupon brought us to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Getting There Short flights are my favorite and this one was no different being just 2 hours away from Miami! Although Puerto Plata…
It’s almost been a year since I decided to cut off all my hair for the 2nd time. After mistakenly going back to relaxers my hair became so weak. It started falling out from chemical & heat damage and it was time to get back to my curly roots. My hair has made some great progress, however, I struggle with moisture and caring for it in its natural state. Even though there are tons of natural bloggers, websites, and YouTube channels…
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…
