Honored to be a food judge at @iqgastronomic! Held at the beautiful @celebration_gardens in Winter Park, Florida, there were many local chefs, bakers and caterers and food trucks showcasing the amazing food that Orlando has to offer. A panel of local food bloggers judged the paella challenge between three amazing chefs. They were all so good it was hard to choose! There is a deep history to paella, it originates from Spain and is different from region to region and in each fa

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

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

I chose the Pink Petal and Rose Gold colors, they also have blue, purple and even green to choose from. It was amazingly easy to apply.

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 ๐ฑ๐ 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. Itโs a 4D interactive game where the cart moves you around to differ

Guide toย 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! Itโs 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

Makeup Party at Sephora Disney Springs
I went to a makeup class party at the Sephora at Disney Springs. The event was organized by Ireland Frost and it was awesome to finally meet her in person. A bunch of the @orlandofashionbloggers also showed up and we had a great time learning different techniques and trying some good products by brands like Tarte and Too Faced. I definitely learned how to layer eyeshadow better and do my brows in the more three dimensional brush strokes style, rather than having it look like

Riley Rose
Finally made it out to the Riley Rose store at the Altamonte Mall. If Instagram came alive as a makeup store that would be it. I tried a few of their products and tested them out for the evening. They had a lot of rare brands that I can usually only find online. Some of them had been recommended by YouTubers but are hard to find, so I was excited to see so many exotic makeup brands and products. The store is super cutesy and feminine, you'll feel like you're in a girls' parad

Bloggers Night Out: the Milk District of Downtown Orlando
Joan, Lyzmarie and I stumbled upon the Iron Cow in the Milk District downtown. The stage in the center of it caught our eye and inspired some creative ideas that we discussed amongst ourselves. Did you know that I'm musical? I was thinking of posting videos and photos of me playing piano and even singing. What do you think?

Kennedy Space Center: I Won An Annual Pass!
At a special premiere for the film First Man I won two annual passes to Kennedy Space Center! ๐๐ฑ๐๐ผ So my babe Garrett and I took a drive out to see the rockets. I hadnโt been since I was a kid and it was his first trip out there. Classic features like the rocket garden pictured here are still intact and new updates such as the space shuttle Atlantis exhibit were awe inspiring. Definitely worth the trip!
