Hold Your Horses
So…who knew that Miami had horse races?! Last Sunday, Gulfstream Park invited us to spend a day at the track! We watched 11 horse races, ate lunch at their signature restaurant and had the best Sunday Funday ever!
Races are happening all the time, and you can enjoy the races having lunch at their signature restaurant, Ten Palms. The restaurant is on the second floor of the building, and has an incredible view of the track!
This is definitely something you want to do on any day, or like I did..SUNDAY FUNDAY! You can find your perfect day to go right here!

POP of Color
Summer is melting away so quickly. Before we know it, we’ll be counting down the days for Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Years! But before we get to the “most wonderful time of the year” there is one other season,that to me, might be in equal importance to the lechon on Christmas Eve -FALL!
This time (Miami version of course) is known for dark nail polish, pumpkin spice lattes, combat boots & the occasional 70 degree weather! It’s also the time to FINALLY bring back lots of black into our wardrobe! But it’s still Miami. And it’s still 90 degrees & very sunny. So we can’t lose all our color just yet…
POPS of color are key this season! Here are some examples of the perfect Miami outfit, for this time of the year, featuring Sophi’s Designs and Live Worldy!
SUP I’m Ready!
So I know you all can agree with me that running on a treadmill is worse than having sushi leftovers. There’s no fun in running and not going anywhere. And there’s definitely no fun in gyms or training rooms. This is exactly why I always try to find cool ways of working out that make you forget the fact that you’re sweating and burning off a ton of calories. Today’s lesson – paddle boarding!
Say goodbye to doing 100 sit-ups! Paddle boarding for just 30 minutes might actually be equivalent to doing 500 sit-ups! I know…. It’s amazing. And SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding) doesn’t just work out your abs! It’s an amazing full-body workout that works on your cardio, balance, and flexibility!
DISLCAIMER: I wouldn’t recommend paddle boarding in Gables by the Sea because…well… a crocodile bit two people the day after these pictures were taken… Yeah. So I recommend checking out Paddle Board Miami in Key Biscayne! They have classes, board rentals and boards for sale!
#MonthBunch goes to Elle Spa
So I decided to take advice from The Wordy Girl (well this is one of many) and made my own little version of a “Lunch Bunch”. Although we don’t have husbands or kids, my best friends and I have busy busy schedules, and it’s so hard to just catch up about all the important things going on in our lives.
I know you’re probably wondering what this crazy rhyming thing even is. But basically, once a month we will get together and catch up! Last month we had brunch at ICE BOX and spent the day in South Beach! This month we decided to treat ourselves on the last day of Summer by spending the day at Elle Spa in the Eden Roc Hotel.
We had the VIP treatment thanks to their amazing staff! We had our 50 minute massages, had an ocean side lunch at Cabana Beach Club and then spent the rest of our day lounging by the pool and using all the spa amenities.
Ready for the best part? You can spend your day at Elle Spa for just $99 with their Spa Month Special now until this Sunday! So hurry up and make your Labor Day weekend appointments here.
10 Dorm Room Essentials
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Kleenex and Walmart, but my love for their dorm style is all my own!
Oh fall season! Back to school. Time for tailgates, dark nail polish, pumpkin spice lattes and for all the new freshman… moving into the dorms. Here’s a quick guide to making your dorm the cutest on the floor. All of these can be found at your local Walmart!
1. Stackable Droors: To keep you organized in your small, compact areas.
2. Agenda: To make sure you’re on top of all your assignments and meet all your deadlines.
3. Laptop: Pulling all nighters are better in your dorm room than in the library.
4. Clorox wipes: Because your dorm doesn’t come with a cleaning lady!
5. Laundry bag: When you have weeks worth of laundry, we all know you can’t carry that in one trip!
6. Kleenex College Decor: We all need tissues…but now you can dress them up according to your style!
P.S. These cute Kleenex designs come in a ton of different colors! The chevron designs and fun colors of these Kleenex Expressions Oval Facial Tissue are the perfect addition to any dorm room!
7. Polaroid Camera: There’s nothing like capturing memories and being able to pin them on your board in 10 seconds!
8. Coffee Machine: After those all nighters, this will definitely come in handy.
9. Shower caddy: Worst part of the dorms…communal showers. This will be the only thing that will help you feel at home.
10. To do List Frame: Between tests, laundry and social outings, college can be extremely busy. Put your daily to-do list up on your wall so you don’t miss a thing!
Mini City Slickers: Back to School!
I’m so excited to be in third grade. I love my new book bag, lunchbox and pencil pouch from BEAD CHICS. They all come in a bunch of different patterns and very bright colors that you can also personalize with your name on them. You get to pick out the font for the letters, and you choose the color you want to match your pattern!!
If I didn’t have uniform, this is definitely the outfit I would’ve worn to my first day of school! These adorable shorts and tank are from ALEREN. The second I saw it, I was like “OMG It’s so cute!!”
Thank you again for all my stuff BEAD CHICS and ALEREN.

#NietosTrip in Panama
I know you all are dying to know all about my trip to Panama so here it is! First off, why did I go to Panama? Well the answer is that I have the best grandfather in the world. I really do. Abuelo wanted to take his five grandkids on a vacation just us and him. And after our family’s company has had so much business in Panama, it just seemed like the perfect place to pick.
We explored the BEAUTIFUL city, visited islands that surround it, spent a day with Kuno indians, watched the process of the unbelievably cool Panama canal and most importantly, spent an amazing week with my family. Here’s a look at our unforgettable week!
FYI – Panama is underrated. It’s absolutely amazing.
Thanks to Mark & everyone else at Trump Beach Club Hotel for the hospitality!
