Easy Florida Winter Look

Hi Friends, happy Wednesday!

We are finally starting to get a little chilly here in the sunshine state and I wanted to share an easy put together winter look with y’all especially for Florida! However you can definitely wear tights or leggings under this look for warmth and throw a longer coat over it if you live somewhere with colder weather!

These pieces are staples in my closet and can be paired with so many other basics for different seasons, so worth having them in your closet for sure! The top is from Abercrombie, skirt is from Old Navy, jacket is from Liverpool Jeans and the boots are from Dolce Vita and I’m obsessed! Highly recommend you check them out if you are looking to add any of these pieces to your closet!

1  16 oz tub of old fashioned caramel dip

1  bag of heath bar bits 

2 bags of sliced apples 

Directions:

All you need to do is put the cream cheese in the middle of a serving platter to start. Then pour a good amount of the caramel dip on top of the cream cheese, enough to cover it. Next top the caramel dip with the heath bar bits. Finally places all the apple slices around the cheesecake dip! This is a great dessert and is awesome for any gluten free guest that might be attending the party as well!

1  jar of nutella

1  spice jar of cinnamon sugar

Roll out pie crust dough on cutting board and cut pizza style into about 14 slices. Next spread some nutella in the middle of each roll and roll like croissants.

I found this recipe on Pinterest years ago and its always a hit!

Summer Backyard Inspo with Wayfair

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’m so exited to share the second part of this collaboration with Wayfair! I’m so inspired by coastal vides and clean lines so this outdoor set and outdoor umbrella is the perfect combination! We will be adding more of the items from the mood board below as we go but we are so excited with how it looks in the space!

Wayfair: Are there any color palettes or trends that are really speaking to you right now?

I love classic and timeless colors. I love black and white stripe and palm prints for accents but as far as furniture you can see here I love the coastal vibes of white and the teak wood.

Wayfair: What is your advice for maximizing outdoor living space for those who may only have a smaller patio or balcony?

We’ve had both now, places with smaller outdoor living spaces and larger spaces and it’s all about not overwhelming the space. Don’t cram in bigger pieces if they can’t fit. For a smaller space I love an outdoor rug with a cute bistro set and some string lights.

Wayfair: Sunshine and blue skies have us daydreaming about outdoor dining! What are your favorite style tips for alfresco tablescapes and entertaining?

I love an umbrella if you are dining outside along with fresh flowers on the table and playing with colors to enhance your outdoor pieces. If you have space I love seeing a longer table and chairs for dining and maybe a few other areas with chairs or a bench for seating and some games as well!

Wayfair: Which pieces do you recommend investing in for your outdoor space? Which pieces do you change out to keep your oasis fresh and on-trend?

I would definitely recommend investing in a set as we did with plenty of seating available and this set is great to change up the configuration. I love to change out pillows and décor based on season and trends!

Why To Work With A Social Media Consultant

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

I wanted to touch base with all of my entrepreneurs and small business owners and ask what are you doing differently for your business in 2022?

Did you set goals and make commitments to do things differently this year? Are you changing up your social media? I would love to know your plans!

I’m currently taking on new clients that want to better show up for their audience this year on social media. Remember social media especially for your business isn’t just about slapping an image up and hoping it does well, it’s about speaking to your ideal client and engaging with them, really building a relationship with them.

This is only one of the things I help my clients with along with a list of other services. It’s so important to have someone in your corner that can assist with the social media as this is usually an activity that you don’t want to do or should be allocating to someone else anyone so that you can focus on money making activities.

If you’re interested in working together this year and want to know how I could assist you with growing your business click HERE!
