Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Weekend

Happy Wednesday friends!

I have an extra fun post for you today! I had the amazing opportunity to stay at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando this past weekend it was the most amazing experience! I’m sharing a look at the rooms at both The Ritz-Carlton Orlando as well as the JW Marriott Orlando. I’m also sharing a look at some of their amazing restaurants and things to do at the hotels!

Friday morning I arrived and we immediately had breakfast at Highball & Harvest and it was amazing! Here’s a small look at the buffet with everything you could want and everything fresh! The fresh made donuts absolutely blew me away!

Next we shot some content at The Ritz! The capabilities they have are endless as you can see below. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion they can make that moment for you extra special! The rooms are beautiful and so fresh and clean and really are just the most luxurious!

The Spa at The Ritz is so tranquil and super enjoyable as I believe it is an adult only pool and super quiet! The landscaping itself is super stunning and gives you the ultimate vacation vibes! We enjoyed delicious smoothies and snacks while lounging and enjoying the beautiful weather!

Here are some of my favorite photos from my room at the hotel in addition to some photos I got from the Royal Suite and the attention to detail and colors in these rooms are probably some of my favorite things! I especially LOVED all the photos in the rooms and how crisp everything was!

Friday evening we went to the lounge before walking over to Knife & Spoon where I ate some of the best food I’ve ever had! Everything was cooked to perfection. The textures and colors were something of art and the taste of everything was unbelievable! My top three favorite things was the Bone-In Ribeye, Potato Puree, and the King Crab “Scampi”. It will be a meal you’ll never forget!

Saturday morning we attended breakfast at Citron, again amazing food with fresh ingredients and amazing flavors! The fresh biscuits with butter and guava jam were melt in your mouth along with everything else we got to eat!

We then headed to shoot more content at the JW Marriott as well as got to see their suite that you can see below which is amazing! All my interior design dreams in one place!

Lastly that night we went to Whisper Creek Farm: The Kitchen for drinks and enjoyed some amazing food there as well!

We then headed over to Primo for dinner, again, another amazing meal and I can’t recommend enough checking them out! The atmosphere is amazing and the food was impeccable! The desserts were out of this world, I can’t describe how heavenly these were!

Overall one of the most amazing weekends I’ve ever had and am so grateful I had this opportunity! I can’t recommend The Ritz-Carlton Orlando and JW Marriott Orlando enough!

2022-Making Plans & Setting Goals

Happy Wednesday friends!

I hope your new year has been off to a great start so far! We were sick during the holidays and are finally getting over it, as I was suffering from a sinus infection that kept lingering…ugh!

But enough of that, I wanted to share some updates and some goals I have for the new year with you! First off we are hoping and praying that this might be the year we get a house, now this is not for certain and hard to think about with the FL housing market booming and everyone moving here so we are keeping options open but that is something I would LOVE for us this year! As far as business goals, I’m hoping to double my income from last year and continue to serve my clients and help you all thrive on social media! If you need help building your social media let me know HERE!

A few personal goals include, I’m sure like most, to drink more water, move my body more and focus on my mental and physical health. Not for weight lose but to feel better!

I hope you have great success this year and would love to hear some of your goals for the year!

New Year, Same Look

Happy New Year friends!

I’m sharing a go to look from LC Lauren Conrad that is perfect if you are going back to the office or just need a good basic look for everyday.

If you don’t know already Lauren Conrad jeans are some of my favorite denim! They are a staple in my closet and a must have if you haven’t tried them. I paired it with a fun silk top from Lauren Conrad as well and some Vionic flats that are my go to.

Again such a great, affordable look for the office or pieces just to have in your closet!

30, Flirty, & Thriving

It’s my 30th birthday today!

AHHHH! How did that even happen?

I’ve learned a lot in my 30 years and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this new era in my life!

To commemorate this big birthday I want to share some of the biggest life lessons I’ve learned so far. As someone who feels like I’ve lived through several lives, lost people, loved, been hurt, made my dreams realities and everything in between there are a few big things I’ve learned so far!

Lesson 1: Love with all your heart.

Yes this could hurt you later on but loving with your whole self could be the best feeling in the world! I have the most amazing husband that I love with all my heart. I only found him after loving the wrong guys but I never felt like I didn’t try. As far as family, same thing. I never don’t tell my parents I love them, they are beyond the most special people to me. Always tell people that you love them!

Lesson 2: Be true to who you are.

I mostly understood this early on. I grew up ballroom dancing, living in a world that kids my age didn’t understand. Dancing was my first true love, something that was always true to who I am. As I’ve gotten older I’ve grown more to understand it’s ok to not like everything that everyone else likes and make the decisions that best serve you. Be you and do what you want to do!

Lesson 3: Follow your dreams, make them a reality!

Within the last few years I’ve really understood what it’s like to turn your dreams in reality. I’m living a life I never thought possible. I never thought I could work for myself and live a life I created, but here we are a little over a year into and I could never go back! I took a leap and it paid off! Make your dreams a reality, anything is possible!

Just some food for thought! Now I’m off to celebrate this day!

Holiday Home Décor

Happy almost Christmas friends!

Just wanted to share some fun photos of our tree and ornaments with y’all!

One of our traditions is we pick out a new ornament every year and add it to our collection. Our tree is a few years old from Walmart and has held up amazing! I love that it is flocked and pre-lite! As far as some of the other things pictured, our stockings are both from Pottery Barn with personalization. We also always put some fun gift boxes under the tree this are from HomeGoods and they come in handy for wrapping storage!

I also wanted to share some of my holiday go to pieces with you as well from LC Lauren Conrad! I love denim and chunky sweaters for the holidays and these are so comfy and I love the vibrant color of this sweater!

Hope y’all have a great holiday! Enjoy time with your friends and family!

Christmas Cocktails & Dessert

Happy Wednesday friends!

Last week we did a fun event for our community and I wanted to share some of it with you! Inspire you for any parties or events you have coming up this holiday season!

We did Christmas Cocktails including hot chocolate, eggnog, and champagne . We had an assortment of things people could spike their drinks with as well as hot chocolate toppings, garnish and all the fun, festive things! We also of course had desserts to go with the fun drinks!

You can check out a reel I did of the whole set up over on my Instagram!

The Perfect Thanksgiving Dress

Happy almost turkey day friends!

I have the perfect Thanksgiving dress for you! This faux wrap dress from LC Lauren Conrad is great for any occasion but especially for being comfortable and cute for Thanksgiving! This dress is easy to dress up with heels or wedges or keep it casual with some sneakers and a jacket. So no matter the look you are going for this dress is a great option! I also love that it isn’t form fitting so it’s super comfortable to wear while eating Thanksgiving meal!

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow and enjoy great food, friends and family!

Black Friday Shopping

Happy Wednesday friends!

First I want to share this outfit with y’all really quick! The whole look is Liverpool Jeans and I’m obsessed with their pieces and the quality! Super high-end and classic pieces to have in your closet all year long. I can’t recommend them enough!

Now let’s talk sales! As I’m sure you’ve noticed sales have started even earlier this year so I’m sure most of you have already started shopping. I wanted to touch base on some amazing sales and deals right now and the stores I focus on. My husband needs new clothes and I always grab the best stuff at Old Navy for him, right now their sale is 40% almost everything but that usually goes up for Black Friday! My mom requested some beauty items and loungewear and I can’t recommend Tula enough and right now they are offering their best deal yet and you can use my code LARAMIE15 for 25% and this includes their already discounted holiday sets! I’m also looking at Aerie for loungewear for her, their deal right now is really good, the more items you purchase the more the discount is. As for my stepdad, he’s into tech stuff and I usually find great things for him on Amazon.

As for my most of what I’m asking for this year is the same as my mother. Beauty and skincare items are high on that list as well as a new blender for my morning smoothies and a few other items.

What are you excited to grab during the sales?

New Fall & Winter Inspired Fashion

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’m so excited to share this look from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s with y’all today because it’s a good one!

Lauren Conrad’s jeans are some of my favorites and the top I have in a ton of other prints and colors and am obsessed with it! The material is so comfortable and great for everyday! Now the jacket is a must have investment piece, with the zippers and the suede material it’s a perfect finishing touch on a look and this deep blue color is EVERYTHING! I paired the look with these super comfortable black booties and am ready to jet off to a fall festival and enjoy some cooler weather, anyone else?

Check out the look below and let me know what plans you have coming up this month!

All Treats No Tricks

Happy Wednesday friends!

With Halloween this weekend I wanted to share some ideas if you are hosting a party or just want some themed snacks for the day!

We hosted a All Treats No Tricks party for our apartment complex and it was a hit and I loved how it came together and want to share the snacks we did. We had a candy board with treat bags for goodies for later. We also had a pumpkin board with cheese and crackers and all that yummy stuff and used blackberries to make the face of the pumpkin. Along with a caramel apple bar (nacho style) so that they were easier to eat with all the toppings so everyone could customize their apples! Top that off with fudge, cupcakes, cookies and all the TREATS! We also had some awesome games too for everyone to enjoy, check those out below! I’m sharing some photos below as well as a reel over on my IG if you want to see how it all turned out!

I hope y’all have a great Halloween and stay safe!
