24 Hours - Miami Open Trip

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to share our quick 24 trip to Miami for the Miami Open! If you plan on going next year or in the future here are some must see’s and eats!

As I mentioned we were only there for 24 hours. We drove from Sarasota to Miami in the morning and went right to the Hard Rock for the tennis matches that day, we took a break around 6pm to check into Aloft Aventura and grab some dinner. We of course had to get bartaco, which is conveniently located right downstairs. The hotel is in the perfect area surrounded by great shops and food options!

After dinner we went back to the tennis for the evening session and were there until about midnight. We grabbed a late night snack at the hotel. The next day we grabbed yummy breakfast at puravida and then we were on the road back home. If you can stay 3 days to try all the great restaurants around the hotel and enjoy the area!

I'm Back-Life Update!

Happy Wednesday!

I’ve missed you here! The start of 2024 didn’t go as planned so this week’s post is catching you up on the start of the year and my hopes for the rest of 2024.

At the start of the year we lost my sweet grandmother just shy of her 94th birthday and to say it shook me is an understatement. I’ve lost many important people in my life and they all hit me different but her passing was a shock to the system which made it worse. That being said my thoughts are with any of you grieving a loved one! Shorty after getting back home I unexpectedly needed to get a new car, another thing I was not prepared for. So I went through the car buying process myself for the first time and all while preparing for another move. Yes, we move A LOT. As I’m sure you all feel it rates continue to rise as a renter so we hopefully won’t be moving for a few years from our new place.

Travis started a new job that he loves. We also celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. To say 2024 has been a RIDE up until now is an understatement.

We have some fun trips coming up this year and I’m hoping to have a new website here in time for our 8th blog anniversary!

What do you want to see here on the blog? Let me know!

It's Officially SUMMER Baby!

Happy Wednesday friends and happy first day of summer!

I’m sharing some fun summer looks with y’all here today but I just wanted to chat about summer really quick and why I love it so much! Most FL locals hate summer because it gets so darn hot but let me tell you I love it! The snowbirds have finally gone home and it doesn’t take an hour to go a few miles anymore! I love the summer rain and fun beach days it’s something about summer that lights my soul on fire! It’s a time that feels magical, a summer daze if you will! Summer is a time for rest and relaxation, family BBQs, and fun! There’s just something about summer!

Do you like summer? What’s you’re favorite part? I would love to know!

Life Currently

Happy Wednesday friends!

It’s been a minute but I feel like I’m finally getting everything under control…SLOWLY haha

This post might be a little long and a bit of a ramble but here we go life updates and what’s been happening-

Around the last week of Jan this year I started on a health and wellness journey, and committing to it! Now almost 4 months in this is something I can never see changing. I hit the gym 4-5x a week and it has improved my mental and physical health immensely, I know that’s not surprising!

To add to that I promised myself that this year I would go back to dance, I’m back to West Coast Swing Classes and will be adding ballroom dance back in as well. This is a long story as to my whole experience in dance so that blog post will come at some point. I’m just so happy to be back to what I love the most! Dance is a HUGE part of who I am.

I’ve also committed to taking care of myself this year so self care is a real thing. I carve out time once a month to get a facial and beauty services to take care of my skin and make me feel my best! This has been huge for me as well! I’ve never viewed these things as a necessity but this is something I now can’t live without!

As for business I’ve been on the up and up this year and I’m so grateful for that! When I quit my 9-5 job in 2020 I didn’t know if I would ever be in this place where I’m not chasing the bag and trying to do more and make more. While I of course have goals I want to hit this year I’m prioritizing working with clients that see the value in my services and who I get along with, GAME CHANGER!

This year I’m really focused on doing me and what makes me happy, just these things alone have helped me greatly. I feel like me for the first time in a long time and it’s just getting better! My word of 2023 is CHANGE and there has been so much of it already and I can’t wait to see what’s next but my focus: My Health, My Wealth, and My Happiness :)

Celebrating Our 3 Year Wedding Anniversary!

Happy Wednesday friends!

Today is our 3 year wedding anniversary! I can’t even believe how quick the time has gone! Travis and I have been together over 11 years and 3 years married! We have been through a lot!

3 years married and we have moved three times, started new business ventures and made big goals for the future! I’m thankful to have a man that supports my dreams by my side! I’m grateful you’re my husband and best friend! Love you bunches baby!

What's Coming in 2023!

Hi Friends!

It’s been a while but I wanted to catch you up and give you some life updates! The holidays were extremely busy and we had quit a few life changes mixed into the last month of 2022 so I took a step back from social to focus on business.

In December Travis was let go from his job in mortgage, if you’re in that industry you get it, he’s making some career changes and helping me while I’m building my business A LOT! So needless to say we are working a lot right now building something that will provide us a lot of freedoms in the future!

Fast forward to the new year, my word for the year is CHANGE as there are many changes I’m hoping to make and see come to fruition this year! I’m focused strongly on my business and creating a healthier and more balanced lifestyle!

As we start to head into February already, wow! I’ll be bringing you all more lifestyle and fashion content along with some business tips and strategies that I’m loving!

Cheers to the new year friends!

New Office Look with Wayfair

Happy Wednesday friends!

I had the pleasure of working with Wayfair again on a new and updated at home office space for myself. I’ve been loving the light wood and white for that coastal feel! I’m still working on the artwork and the accessories but I absolutely love the desk, wardrobe rack, and the chair perfect for my blogging and working from home.

Y’all know I love all the options Wayfair offers and the prices can’t be beat! I needed very specific items and they had exactly what I was looking for! Everything came well packaged and easy to assemble and I absolutely love my work space!

Thanksgiving Outfit Inspo

Happy Wednesday friends!

I can’t believe next week is Thanksgiving, that’s crazy!

I’m sharing some outfit inspo for you this week whether you are going more casual or dressing up these are some of my favorite options for the Thanksgiving holiday! I’m a casual dress kind of girl for Thanksgiving, something comfortable and casual just a little put together.

Instantly Brightening Your Space with Wayfair

Happy Wednesday friends!

It’s been a minute by I’m back with something fun to share with you! I’m teaming up with Wayfair on this post today! *Sponsored

I’m sure you all can relate but I love to refresh my space and we recently moved a few months ago and wanted to brighten up our living room without immediately investing in new furniture. Our quick and easy solution…a new rug!

Our new place doesn’t have any carpet in any of the rooms so we had already grabbed a rug from Wayfair for our bedroom so when we determined our living room was looking so dark we thought again to find a new rug on Wayfair to brighten the space up. We are beyond impressed with the quality of the rug and happy with the outcome and how it immediately lightened up the space! You can find the exact rug HERE it is exactly as pictured and will not disappoint! If you are looking for a quick less expensive way to brighten up your space paint and a new rug will really do the trick!

You can check out the before and after photos below!

Fall Michigan Trip Recap

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’m finally back in action after our fall trip we both came back under the weather so I’ve been recovering but finally almost 100% again so I wanted to share a break down of what we did on our fall getaway in Michigan. I’m sharing where we ate and what we did for any of you looking for a fall trip this is it!

---

Friday was a travel day for us, we didn’t get into town until late evening but we had to stop at Meijer for all our essentials before getting to our Airbnb.

Saturday we did a lot around South Haven, MI. We went shopping downtown and stopped at some of our favorite local shops. We also grabbed lunch at Taste which is one of our favorites while we’re in town. We visited my grandmother for a little bit then drove down to the pier to see some of the beautiful leaves and soak in all the views. From there we went to Waypost Brewing so Travis could try some new beers and again the views were everything. This is a great spot if you like breweries and a super chill vibe. To finish off our day we grabbed some food at The Southerner which did not disappoint!

On Sunday we spent time explored Douglas/Saugatuck MI. We grabbed some photos on the patio in the morning because it was so nice out. From there we checked out Saugatuck Brewing Co before we ventured into town and wondered around the shops there. We then grabbed pizza from Maria’s in South Haven to visit again with my grandmother and then finished the night with Sherman’s Ice Cream, a must no matter the season!

Monday was our last day in town before we left that evening. We woke up early to take some couples photos (coming soon to the blog) before we had an early lunch at the Farmhouse Deli in Douglas. I can’t recommend taking all the photos on vacation, capture those memories! From there we spent more time in South Haven, grabbed a drink and walked around before we headed to the airport!

Overall it was an amazing trip, too short before so amazing and fun and great to finally see fall foliage!
