With springtime upon us, it's almost time to breakout your fav swimwear. If you have followed me long at all, you know swimwear is my obsession. I bring alteast 1 swimsuit for each day of my vacation. A girl needs options!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some tips to make the most out of your next pool or beach day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Don't let sun protection kill the vibe of your poolside photo shoot. Traditional sunscreen leaves a white cast over your face, and thats not a good look. I use Ultra Sun Protector Lotion in SPF 50. I've been using it for a few years and I'm in love. I use it everyday whether at the pool or not, but it's super-power is revealed everytime I take it to the water. It is totally invisible and doesn't show in pictures. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Switch up your swimwear each day so you don't have crazy tan lines after your vacay. Wear the more risqué swimwear first, and then proceed until you have worn each one, saving the most coverage for your last day of vacay.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Switch up your seating. Don't sit in the same spot by the pool or beach each day. I know it can be tempting to always sit in the chair closest to the bar, but you will thank me when you don't go home burnt. You can also change the position you sit in throughout the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you normally hide from the sun or bathe in it?

I have to force myself not to give all of my money. If you have been following me I'm sure you have seen them in my stories a million times. Their food and service is phenomenal. With the amount of times I've been there I certainly would have had a bad waiter by now.... 👀. But I don't think they have one.

The menu is exquisite! I like sweets but on my healthy days, they still have something sexy on the menu. From eggs, pancakes, burritos, and everything in between.

What brunch spot would be complete without a drink?!?! Well, they didn't leave that out either. They have an array of drinks also. You can pick a Bloody Mary, Mimosa, coffee, or a signature cocktail.

If you are not in Dallas don't worry. They have locations in 8 states in the USA, so there's probably one nearby.

What's your favorite brunch food?

Tips on traveling with a toddler:
1. Bring snacks- If you are on an airplane you definetely want your child eating or drinking during ascent/descent to help with the air pressure. Nothing worse than starting a flight with a crying child because their ears hurt. It is also a known fact that children are happier when they are eating. Don't feel guilty for letting them eat 3 hours straight, it's airplane survival.
2. Go to the Dollar Store, or a cheap alternative beforehand and buy something to occupy them. I found this Magic Water Marker that was clutch. You add water to the marker and color in the booklet on the spots that are empty. It's genius!!! Water evaporates, so you can use it over and over. Also, you don't have to worry about them drawing on the seat because it's just water. I also got a small etch a sketch that kept her busy.

The key is to buy something small and light that can fit in your personal item. If it can't fit on their lap it will be falling on the floor constantly. You also want something they can do independently.

3. Bring a bag that is open at the top to carry on the plane. It's helpful not to have to unzip your bag when you need to urgently clean little hands. You have to be quick on your feet with little ones. 😉

Our Spring Break was mixed with leasure and family. Since I was born and raised in Miami, a visit is never actually a vacation. This time I took a different approach and did both. The private beach was the perfect place for us to meet up with my cousins while still feeling like tourists.

Do you normally spend holidays with family or being a tourist?

The Coffee Club in Koh Samui had a wonderful view out back to compliment the food. I wanted a taste of home that day, so these coconut infused pancakes with caramelized bananas were perfect. I also wanted to try a take on the Thailand dessert, Mango sticky rice. Many people opt for authentic food when they travel. I am not into getting food poisoning, so street food is not for me. On top of that, I was breastfeeding. So if I was sick, my baby would have gotten sick. I would rather have a boogie, inauthentic resort version of the local dishes. Feel free to judge me. 😜

~~Swipe for the Mango sticky rice.

Are you down for street food when you travel?

Every city has its staple restaurants that you hear about before you even arrive. I'd heard of Cheddar's for years so I was excited to try their food. I was not disappointed. I love having options, and the menu had a lot of great choices. The portion size was really big and everyone took leftovers home. If you want a hearty meal for an affordable price, you should definetely check them out if you're in Dallas.

Swipe left twice for the kid's plate. It was so much food. 😋

Flashback to our first vacation as a family in 2018. My baby was only 4 months and I was still figuring out how to travel as a mother. I miss because it was so easy not having to worry about what to feed her.

Tips on Traveling with a Baby:
*Bring a carrier--
Depending on where you are traveling, a stroller may not always be the best option. I'm always at the beach on vacay so a stroller isn't really an option. It's also great to be hands-free while walking the streets of an unfamiliar city.

At the airport, before you board place your baby in the carrier and push the stroller through the line. It's easier to get your stroller ready for gate-check with the baby already attached to you. It's also an easy transition from carrier to baby seat-belt when you are seated.

I'm still getting over not having power and water during the Texas winter storm. I wanted to go stay in a hotel when the power went out but they didn't have power either. Thank God a family took us in until our power turned back on 4 days later.

Now that we have power and water restored in my apartment, I'm back to my status.....but last week....🤷🏾‍♀️

Most of my life seasons were just something I saw on movies. Well, in the last year I have gotten a taste of seasons. I'm not a fan. Lol. It's cool for a few weeks because you can wear a jacket or cute boots. But for me the thrill dies real quick when I have the urge to swim and remember the weather outside won't permit it.

Treat yourself today! Throw on that 2-piece, get a glass of wine, and listen to the waves. Becuase no matter what it looks like outside.... It's swimwear weather somewhere!

Flashback of living in Abu Dhabi when I could visit the pool any day I chose. Predictable weather made getting dressed so easy. Seasons are for the birds man. The only season I care about is bikini season. What's your favorite season?

It snowed in Dallas!!! I was so excited. My 2 year old had no idea why I was so excited about rain. 😂 When we got outside she understood.

The first time I saw snow fall from the sky I was in my mid-twenties. And I've only experienced it a few times after that. It feels mysterious and magical to me. I'm so grateful for the chance to experience it with my baby.

Do you love or hate snow?
