Hurricane Irma - The Preparation

As I write this for my blog I am by candlelight because of Hurricane Irma. We are without electricity in most of Orlando, and I hear the methodical plinking of water into a round glass from one small leak in the window. It has been a few years since Florida has had a strong hurricane, this storm is the size of the whole state. I wanted to do a shoot before the storm changed everything, and I found this amazing spot nearby. A basketball court and tennis court were overgrown ne

iHeart Radio - the signed pillar

Back when I was doing behind the scenes at photoshoots and before I was a blonde, I had the privilege of doing makeup for a staff photoshoot at the offices of iHeart Radio. The photographer, Carlos Navarro, asked me to do some test shots for him, and was generous in sending me the headshots afterwards. He was a popular radio show host in Orlando before he went on to have a reoccurring role on The Walking Dead. So many bands have signed this pillar in one of the waiting rooms

Orlando Florida Bloggers meetup - #otownbloggersquad

I started the Orlando Bloggers group a few months ago and it has blossomed past my wildest imaginings. I contacted everyone in the group to see if they were interested in forming a bloggers group so that we could all grow and support each other. I am so lucky to have so many awesome young women bloggers living in the same city, filled with creativity and drive, and felt that we should all get to know each other. I am so fortunate to have all of you in my life now. Geo organiz

Downtown Orlando Photoshoot

I had a shoot recently with my friend Alex in downtown Orlando, it was our first shoot together. I met her at the Meet + Muse event the month before at the Orlando Museum of Art. I'll do a post about that event soon, it was excellent to browse their collections and meet some local instagrammers and photographers. At first I was kind of nervous because I'm used to shooting by myself with a timer or with family. She, Michelle and I shot together and explored more of downtown Or

Birthday at Magic Kingdom - Part 2

The fireworks show was spectacular and I want to go back again and again. It was so packed there were people staking out spots for the fireworks hours in advance. The food at the theme parks is one of the best parts. A crowd of people saw me eating a turkey leg and rushed in to get one. Getting a Mickey shaped ice cream is one of the hallmarks of spending a day at the park. It has vanilla ice cream enveloped in rich dark chocolate. It started to melt from the heat as I was lo

Birthday at Magic Kingdom - Part 1

#flashbackfriday to my birthday at Magic Kingdom last summer. What I wanted most for my birthday was to go back to Disney. I'm a native to Orlando but it had been a few years since I had been to Disney. I tend to rotate which theme parks I have a pass to, and it was time to go back to Disney! Even just the drive up to the gate brings up a sense of excitement and anticipation. They were already decorated for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at the end of August. Kind of a

orlando food - Sus Hi Eat Station

I got to try Su Shi Eatstation, one of the most popular Orlando cafes in the area of the University of Central Florida, and the food was fantastic. It turns the tradition of sushi into a modern quick service form. The ingredients are fresh and you can make your selections to mix and match and create your own unique creations in either a bowl, a traditional roll or in a wrap. I chose a wrap with shrimp, spicy mayo, cheese, cucumber, avocado, and other tasty ingredients and got

Orlando Foodie Event - Taste! Central Florida Fundraiser

Had a fantastic time at the Taste Central Florida event this weekend with celebritychef4u. The event is organized to help end childhood hunger in Central Florida, where one in four kids are unsure of their next meal. The event is in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida. I received a ticket to the event in exchange for posting on my blog and working for celebritychef4u. 🥘🌮🥗🍢 💄🙋🏼🌟 There were

Tired of getting most of your makeup stuck in your makeup blender? Trouble no more with the silicone blender from @wearebasebeauty. It's cruelty free and more hygienic than a standard blender because it washes completely clear! It's firm but also squishy and really gentle to use.

Orlando Food Event - Hawkers Asian Fare Summer Share

The food at Hawkers in downtown Orlando, Florida was amazing and was a culinary trip around Asia. Named after the street vendors that populate the streets of Asia, Hawkers serves authentic and appetizing street food from countries such as Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and China. The evening at Hawkers started with roti canai, a South Indian style dish, followed by a tiger salad, topped with octopus with hints of sesame. The crispy chicken skewers were like a chicken bacon, fol

Jord Watches - Wood and Rose Gold

My watch from Jord Watches is perfect for a girl with feminine style. It's beautiful, comfortable, fits like a glove and feels light as a feather. You can watch it working through the cutaway on the timepiece, which is so fascinating. I chose the watch in wood and Rose Gold. I love unique pieces and this wood watch was the one for me. ⌚️🌺🌞🌸💐 I received a watch in exchange for social media posts. If you make a purchase through my affiliate link then I will receive a small

Blue Bunny Ice Cream Truck

One of my favorite parts of the summer is the Blue Bunny ice cream truck. It's a quick sweet treat that you can customize to make your own. You can choose what kind of cookies you want as well as the ice cream flavors, and you can have a cookie of one flavor paired with a cookie of another. This one features a peanut butter cookie, and chocolate chip cookie, vanilla ice cream and rainbow sprinkles. It is so delicious and flavorful. I can't wait till it comes around again! "Th

Bloggers Katrina and Lulu hit Citywalk Orlando

I went with my friend @lulu_monty to Universal Citywalk Orlando. It's one of my favorite places to go and walk around and eat. I had been wanting to try more of the specialty milkshakes at the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium and she had never tried them before. They have a variety of different flavors and we both chose the marshmallow one. #KatrinaBelleBeauty #UniversalOrlando #ToothsomeChocolateEmporium #UniversalCitywalk #KatrinaBelle #Orlando #Fashion #Food

#ootd - Red Romper with Black Hat

Gazing at one of my favorite paintings, Inner Lhamo Waterfall, by Pat Steir. It is "in reference to the sacred Tibetan lake, Lahmo Latso." I love art with a spiritual meaning. I like to utilize a dripping, pouring and splattering technique in my own paintings and feel that that is also why I am drawn to this one. Have a beautiful day! 😄💙💎💧🔥❤️🎨 #KatrinaBelle #KatrinaBelleBeauty #Orlandofashionblogger #Orlando #Fashion #Art #OrlandoMuseumofArt #Red #Hats #Travel #Travel

the start of a new era

I'm so excited to make progress with developing my brand over the past year. This started with just me taking photos with a timer on the camera outside of my house, and it has grown into so much more. I've made connections with fans, bloggers and brands and my images have been seen by hundreds of thousands of people. For the past year I've been focusing on my Facebook Page and my Instagram account. Now my goal is to focus on my website. I want to connect with others, not just
