Barnie's Coffee and Tea - Do You Cold Brew?

When I actually have a free day I love to start it with Barnie's Coffee and Tea. Their Santa's White Christmas Blend is good year round and perfect for cold brew. It has hints of caramel, coconut and holiday spices. They were founded in 1980 and have become a global brand. Did you know that the first Barnie's started in Winter Park, Florida? Have a beautiful day 😄💆🏼☕️😍🏡 I received this product in exchange for a post. To brew it, take out one of the cold brew coffee pods

Orlando for the Holidays: Disney Springs

To continue my Disney Christmas tree expedition, my family and I headed over to Disney Springs. Formerly known as Downtown Disney, they have many additions and changes to their shops and restaurants. To avoid confusion with the one in California, they changed the name from Downtown Disney to Disney Springs. After walking around we finally went to go see The Last Jedi. We had been waiting to see it all together for Christmas. We saw the last one last year for Christmas and it

Christmas Holidays at Disney - Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Crawl

At Disney's Polynesian Resort. "Mele kalikimaka" means Merry Christmas in Hawaiian. I was transported to Hawaii when I was checking out the Christmas trees at Disney's Polynesian Resort. Their tree decorations tied in to their Hawaiian theme with beautiful tropical flowers. 🌺🎄🌼🌴🌊 At Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. They build a life size gingerbread house every year, and it takes them about four months to make it from start to finish. It was a magical day spent rediscove

The Nutcracker - Ballet vs. Movie

News of the upcoming Nutcracker and the Four Realms Disney movie reminded me of my ballerina days. Every year the Nutcracker is the biggest performance that draws in a full house for weeks. Months and months are spent in rehearsal, long Saturdays practicing your part with your group and teacher, and watching the other parts of the ballet rehearse. It is a simultaneously excruciating and wonderfully exhilarating experience. I was a student at the Orlando Ballet School for ten

30th Anniversary of the Jack Kerouac Project

Jack Kerouac was one of the great beatnik writers and he lived in a house in Winter Park, Florida for part of his career. This is where he penned The Dharma Bums. The house is now an area of historical significance and has been turned into the Writers in Residence Program, a foundation for contemporary writers today. For each season, a different writer lives in the house in exchange for working on a novel. #Orlando #Orlandoblogger #FloridaWriters #Orlandoinfluencer #OrlandoIn

Orlando Fashion Bloggers Photoshoot

Members of @orlandofashionbloggers came together for a photoshoot in the historic Winter Park area of Central Florida. There is so much talent in Orlando and it was amazing to see. Each of the bloggers paired off with a photographer to get a few good shots, and then we would all switch. This gave us the chance to work with almost everyone who went to the event. #Orlandofashionbloggers #otownbloggersquad #Photoshoot #Orlandophotoshoot #KatrinaBelle #KatrinaBelleBeauty #Orlando

Voluminous Hair Tutorial using Rootie the Rootlifter by VOLOOM

I was sent this awesome new product called Rootie the Rootlifter by Voloom to try and I was impressed by its results. It creates volume in the hair by teasing it out with a crimping effect and seals the shape with heat. As a certified stylist I can say that it definitely works and has an ingenious design. Normally to get this kind of effect you would have to tease out the hair with a comb and hairspray it for hold. With the Rootlifter I can just plug it in and get that effect

#ootd - stylish coat and boots

Styling this coat in downtown Orlando was a dreamy fashion photoshoot. We did a bunch of different outfits and this is one of my all time favorites. I worked with my friend Daniel Bastos, I used to tutor him and now he's going off to college to study photography! He did an excellent job on his first fashion blogger photoshoot. The coat is a classic by Banana Republic. It is so soft and shiny, I still own it but hardly wear it as I'm worried something will happen to it! So it

Music Video Cameo - The Adolescent Theory

I teamed up with local band The Adolescent Theory for the video for their song Memento Mori, which was released on New Years Eve. They are super talented, totally chill guys and they deserve all the success they have worked for and more. We connected over social media and the lead singer Johnny invited me to the taping of their music video. It was the first one I was involved in in front of the camera and it was a lot of fun once I started to get to know the guys and their fr

DRIP - live Orlando show on iDrive

The DRIP show in Orlando, Florida on Idrive is one of my favorite local performances. This show combines dance with art as they use materials such as paint and sand during the performance. It's a really beautiful and visually stunning show, completely unique with that art house look. The venue has that underground warehouse feel, and is at first harder to locate, as it is situated behind Senor Frogs. Check them out at ilovedrip. Heads up, it is a 21+ venue. General admission

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

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 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
