Christmas in Sarasota

I spent the holidays with my mom, boyfriend and his family in lovely Sarasota, Florida. We had a cookout on the beach and it was still a beautiful day in the Florida winter and it was a great beach for finding shells. I have a glass covered coffee table filled with shells I and my family have collected over the years, it is truly unique and beautiful, and serves as a keepsake of all the family trips to the beach, and this year I added some new shells with my boyfriend. My boy

Dine with an Astronaut

My boyfriend and I went to Kennedy Space Center's "Lunch with an Astronaut" and it was an enriching experience where you get to hear first hand accounts of space missions. It is in a group setting where the food is buffet style and the astronaut gives a presentation up on stage about their experiences. He had been on quite a few missions and was very insightful. The food menu includes arugula and carrot salad with lemon vinaigrette, chipotle roasted cod, southern fried chicke

First Time Surfing : Surf Lessons with Vast Oceans Surf and SUP School in Daytona

I had an amazing time in my first ever surf lesson with @ragansurfs! In the morning on the beach in front of the beautiful @shoresresort we went over safety, technique and style, and practiced the surfer pop-up technique to stand up on the board. When we went out into the water he helped me catch a lot of waves, and gave helpful feedback each time on how to improve even more. I even stood all the way up on the board a few times! He was dedicated to making me feel confident on

The Escape Game on IDrive Orlando

Had fun at @theescapegameorlando! Teams of up to eight people join forces for an hour of non stop puzzles, finding clues and solving them! There are a few different scenarios to choose from, such as the Gold Rush or a Mars Mission. Our scenario was the Heist, where we had to find a priceless Monet painting that had been stolen! We were down to the wire but we solved it and won the game! I don’t want to give too many spoilers away, but everyone contributed and it was a lot of

Metro Diner's Amazing Food at their New Florida Location

Had such a good time at @metrodiner yesterday!! I got the Pulled Pork Mac Stack, which is half a pound of pulled pork over homestyle mac and cheese on a cornbread batter waffle with maple butter. Best thing ever. They were also really good at catering to food allergies and my mom found something she could eat in the chicken and fries with some veggies. The salad was fresh and flavorful with plenty of dressing, and the onion rings were crispy without any grease. For drinks we

Dunkin's New Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew

Enjoying the new Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew from @dunkin! The rich chocolatey flavor meshes well with the cherry and enhances the deep flavor of the cold brew. The slow cold brewing process takes twelve hours in small batches, and enhances the flavor of the coffee like a fine wine. Even better, right now a medium is only $2 from 2-6pm! Now is the perfect time to add Dunkin’s new Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew to your afternoon lifestyle. Definitely enjoying this coffee happy hour

Experience Japanese & Hawaiian Fusion at Hi-5 Poke and Sushi near IDrive

Had an amazing time at @hi5pokeandsushi! A one of a kind family owned place that combines Japanese and Hawaiian style and cuisine, they are conveniently located in the IDrive district of Orlando. The Korean BBQ wings are one of their most popular dishes and I can see why, with its incredible flavor and spices. They have a really unique take on nachos with tuna, avocado and spicy sauce over wonton chips, which gave it a signature salty flavor. The tonkotsu ramen is a classic t

Don Julio's Authentic Mexican Food

The food at @donjuliosmexican is phenomenal! Sitting outside gave such a nice atmosphere. The Mexican street corn was full of flavourful spices, cut by the creamy sauce poured over it, and served grilled and sizzling. The shrimp stuffed avocado was both healthy and delicious, I could eat that every day. In contrast, the fried ice cream was drool worthy and an amazing indulgent treat. Overall, would go again!

Captain Marvel Opens on International Women's Day!

Captain Marvel opens today! I was invited to a special pre-release screening in IMAX, and it definitely exceeded expectations! I don't want to give away any spoilers, but Marvel fans will be pleased with this movie. At first I was a little worried that such a strong female character would be portrayed as a caricature, or be sexualized, or have some kind of makeover montage scene, but it was none of the above. Carol Danvers is a three dimensional American girl, with a matter o

Guide to Disney After Hours: Hollywood Studios

More fun at Disney After Hours, this time at Hollywood Studios! It was my first time visiting Toy Story Land, because every time I had checked the Disney Parks app the wait time had been at least 80 minutes! At After Hours it was only 5 minutes 😱😍 It was so much fun! The classic Slinky Dog Dash roller coaster, the Alien Swirling Saucers, and a ride I had never seen on a blog or vlog called Toy Story Mania. It’s a 4D interactive game where the cart moves you around to differ

Guide to Disney After Hours: Animal Kingdom

Thank you so much to Disney for inviting me to Disney After Hours as media! The first event was at Animal Kingdom and there was only a 5 minute wait for Pandora! When we got to the park before it closed for regular hours there was a 160 minute wait for the Pandora ride Flight of Passage. My boyfriend and I rode it twice! It’s so beautiful how the Tree of Life in the center of the park lights up at night, and the Rivers of Light show was as beautiful as ever! Everything was ma
