72 Hours in Tulum, Mexico!

Tulum wasn’t always on my radar as a must visit destination, but once I arrived, I instantly fell in love! Take a 90-minute ride from the Cancun airport and you will find yourself in Tulum, Quintana Roo, the stuff of bohemian dreams! Unlike Cancun, Tulum still manages to maintain some authentic charm. From the idyllic beach area with the boho-chic boutiques, to the eco-friendly hotels and a culinary experience like no another, this super chill destination, will leave you wanting more! I can’t say enough good things about this place so here I am recounting everything I did while I was there. I only had 72 hours so as soon my husband and I landed in Mexico we didn’t waste any time on our adventure! Day 1 We stayed at Elements Tulum, a small boutique hotel located in Tulum town. This was one of the newer hotels when we visited, but it was no less beautiful! It was perfect for our short trip because its central location made it easy for us to get around. We did have a rental car for our stay, but the hotel also offered bicycles for use as well. Arriving at around mid-afternoon, I would

My Fall/Winter Wish List 2019

Hi Friends! So I am super excited about writing this post as I’ve never done anything like this before. Fall is by far my favorite season for fashion and every year I’m always tempted to buy into every trend that’s out there. Unfortunately, with the way my bank account is set up, that’s just not possible, lol. I thought a Wish List would be a great way to stay focused and limit any impulsive purchases and today I am sharing some of my top picks for Fall/Winter. Aviator Jacket Nothing says effortlessly cool than an aviator jacket! From the relaxed masculine silhouette to the matte leather finish they are just so flattering on everyone wearing them. I’ve had my eye on this style since last year and now I am hoping that this year, I’ll finally be able to get my hands on one; for a good price of course! My color of choice is definitely the black on black like I have pinned below. View this post on Instagram Exploring overseas has never been easier thanks to @americanexpress Global Assist.

A Natural Glowy GRWM – 5 Minute Makeup No Foundation

I have a confession to make. Lately, I’ve started to wear less and go out more; less makeup that is! Yes you read that correctly. In the age of the instagram makeup or whatever we are calling it these days, I have been making a conscious effort to wear considerable less makeup and my skin has been loving me for it! And this is not to throw shade at my peeps that love a beat face because I too have an appreciation for full beat from time to time. Nowadays however, my lifestyle doesn’t really call for it and my personal style and preferences have had quite an evolution to the point where I much prefer a more natural look on myself.  These days it takes me about 5 minutes to do my face from start to finish and I forgo foundation all together. I always get a ton of questions about how I achieve my natural look and the products I use so I hope the video below answers some of your questions. If not, leave a comment below and I’ll get back to you! https://youtu.be/cg-tYbFBFFw Share on facebook Share on google Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on

My Top 5 Self-Care Habits for a Healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” – Anne Lamott No matter how vein or over indulgent the term self-care might sound, it’s actually very important to your overall well being. Working in the events industry, my days can sometimes be extremely stressful and draining! Be it dealing with demanding clients, long days, occasional working weekends, it’s good to have some habits/rituals to help you reset and get you back to a healthy space. There is no one size fit all type of deal when it come to self-care. For some it’s a long hot shower or even going full beast mode in the gym; or how about some retail therapy at your favorite online store? At the end of the day self-care should promote positive ideas about your self, boost your self esteem, and your confidence too. Life is short, so my number one goal is to make the most of living a fulfilling and happy one. Here are my top 5 self-care habits for a healthy mind, body and spirit. Going to the Gym -There’s nothing to me like getting my sweat on in the gym! Whenever I’m having a rough
