Noteable 4th of July Sales

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. The emails for 4th July sales have been flooding in so these are a few of the deals I found from some of my favorite retailers. On an adulting note, we did have to bite the bullet over the weekend and buy a new washer and dryer from Home Depot while the sales last.

Interesting Finds: The Girly Edition

Happy Friday!

The work days this week seemed to drag on. Just when my body clock thought it was 4pm, the real clock said "Nope! we're only just approaching 2pm". Needless to say, I'm welcoming the weekend and hoping the weather plays nice so we can enjoy some outdoor fun. 

Gifts for the Bride on Her Wedding Day

I have a few weddings coming up this year so I've been shopping for the Brides-to-be and used some inspiration from my own wedding like this beautiful wedding dress hanger I found on Amazon.

World Cup Weekend

Who knew I would enjoy watching football (soccer) so much? I don't have a favorite team nor did I watch every game this weekend but the ones I did watch were intense, enthralling, and full of surprises.

So about the weekend...

Bubble Away The Impurities

I was lucky to be introduced to the belif Pore Cleaner Bubble Foam which was a new-to-me skincare line and product. What I love about this gel-to-foam wash-off mask is that works for any skin type whether you have oily, dry or combination skin.

Lido Key Beach: Anniversary #8

Wishing the weekend was longer so we could have celebrated our wedding anniversary for more than one night at the beautiful Lido Beach Resort.

Last Minute Gift Ideas for Father's Day

It's pretty tricky coming up with a Father's Day Gift Guide that is relevant for all the Dads out there because they're not clones of each other....thankfully! They have different interests, hobbies, clothing likes, and an overall lifestyle which makes them unique.

Weekend Recap

If getting lots of rest and sleeping in on the weekend is your idea of fun then I had a blast! It was relaxing all around with some ventures out to a new restaurant/bar in our area on Saturday and then lounging by the pool of Sunday.

Cute Summer Gift Ideas

Summer is on my mind since it's hit 100 degrees in Florida this past week. I wish Spring would have lasted longer than what felt like two days but we're in the heat of Summer. I'm always browsing and shopping for cute gifts for my girl friends and since warmer weather lasts longer in Florida, these are some gift ideas that are practical and perfect for summer!

The Havana Panoramic Tour

Touring Havana was an experience of a lifetime. Before visiting, I initially thought that Havana was full of dilapidated buildings, while yes that is the case in some parts of Old Havana, other parts of the city have some impeccable buildings and monuments with so much history behind them.

Touring Key West

The view of the port in Key West from the cruise ship.

Even with the overcast weather, Key West was a blast to explore. We had no excursions or tours booked. All we knew is that we wanted to visit Duval Street, grab some local seafood for lunch, and then make our way to the Southernmost Point. The typical tourist things.

Cruising - Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas

The Royal Caribbean cruise we recently went on left from Tampa and stopped in Key West and then Cuba before heading back to Florida. The Majesty of the Seas is not one of the fancier ships but it has a great pool area for lounging and enough amenities to enjoy while on board.

Long Weekend Rain and Some Shine

Since our return from the Cuba cruise on Wednesday last week, we were in need of a low key weekend to relax and get stuff done around the house. Plus with the weather forecasted to be rainy all weekend, we kept our plans at minimum.

30 Random Facts About Me

Happy Friday!

I'm back from our cruise and recovering from vacation mode. That's a thing right? Needing a vacation after your vacation? At least the weekend is near and will give me some time get back into my routine and also get all my photos from the trip organized. I got some great shots in Cuba and can't wait to share.

Still Weekending

From Orlando to Tampa on Saturday, cruising to Key West on Sunday, and arriving in Cuba this morning for a full day of new adventures.

I'm still weekending over here with limited access to internet. Feels good to unplug and relax.

Cruising Outfit Inspiration: Key West and Cuba

Our cruise to Cuba is finally on the horizon after being cancelled due to Hurricane Irma back in September last year. The weather forecast isn't looking great but I'm praying it's not accurate as it's been the past few weekends.  These are some outfit ideas for the trip to hopefully prevent me from over-packing but I can't make any promises there.

10 Essentials For Your Work Desk

Of course organization is key when it comes to setting up your workspace so I'm sure some of these desk essentials are obvious but there are still a few things always needed depending on your work environment.

Mother's Day Weekend

After a long day of work on Friday, I came home to some fresh Lilies and a card from Lola for Mother's Day. Such a sweet surprise.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all my Mama friends!

Enjoy your day!
