“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.

A little over 3 years ago I caught the solo travel bug and ventured to California for Coachella.

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.…

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.

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…
