If you know me you probably rolled your eyes and was like Tanay.. you have a man WTH are you talking about. Listen, when I file taxes I still have to check single so I qualify to write this post, ok! If wedding season makes you want to A) Throat punch anyone who posts about love on your timeline or B) Burst into tears because you can’t for the life of you figure your own life out then, this post is for you sis!

With all the excitement about the Royal Wedding that just passed among the multiple other weddings I have to attend coming up I am just about ready to lose my mind. Don’t get me wrong, I love all things LOVE. Weddings, fairytales, the idea of happily ever after… those are all MY THING. I am a hopeless romantic through and through. But I’m just honestly over here hanging out in wedding limbo, trying to find things to occupy my time so I don’t end up on SNAPPED! before I’m actually a wife. I’m still here, so I’m about to tell you some of the things I do that help me when I’m starting to feel wedding woes.

//Get A Hobby// 

That means one that doesn’t include scrolling social media because honestly, as a female we can easily find ourselves sinking down the “woe is me” rabbit hole in 2.5 seconds and then 3 hours later we’re trying to figure out why we’re still on the couch, scrolling iG, and we know the entire dating history of someone we never even met. No? Just me? Don’t lie! Get out and do something besides tweeting and snapping. Occupy your mind! Something as simple as reading a book is an amazing distraction. It keeps me off my phone and  I’m learning new stuff. It’s a win-win situation.  

//Get A Girlfriend// 

It’s not what it sounds like.  But your girl friends are (or should be) everything! Get you a friend that will show up when you need it and can lift you up mentally. Surround yourself with positive energy and good vibes. When you vibrate on a higher frequency then you attract more positive and abundance. Sometimes you need someone to put on Nice for What, hype you up & remind you that there’s more important sh*t to worry about. 

//Live in the Moment//

Sometimes that is way easier said than done, I feel you. But trust when I say you will be way happier thinking about the now than obsessing over the future. There is so much joy in the now. Focus on the things that make you happy and keep those in the forefront of your mind. Positive attracts positive. Gratitude attracts more things to be grateful about. Trust me. 

//Love yourself//

Because no one can love you better. Don’t ever forget that you’re bomb as hell, you’re hair is on fleek and your melanin pops severely! Confidence is one of the most attractive personality traits, so never forget that you slay! No one can ever validate that for you more than yourself. 

This whole post probably rings cliche AF, but I’m so positive that I cannot be the only one that needs these reminders. And if all else fails and you find yourself wallowing in the wedding season woes, don’t forget that most weddings have an open bar! 😉

My sweet babies. From big feelings to small moment My sweet babies.
From big feelings to small moments they are literally learning how to be adults by watching us. They deserve a childhood they don’t have to heal from so that they can grow to be the best adult versions of themselves.
& that’s on.. breaking generational curses.

@colorfactoryco is all dressed up for fall! We got a preview of ‘haunted hues’ and the kids loved the scavenger hunt where they had to find all the monsters! The installations are similar but the fall feels make it even more exciting! Plus we had some spooky friends join us in the ball pit! And of course.. there were treats!! 😋

If you’re looking for something to take the kids to this fall in the NYC area, I’d definitely check The Color Factory out! Ticketing info is at the link in their bio. Thank you @colorfactoryco for having us!

Inside the private two bedroom villas at @caribero Inside the private two bedroom villas at @cariberoyaleorlando 

This villa literally had everything we needed for our trip. From a full primary suite to an extra room with double beds the suite was absolutely amazing. The balcony also had an amazing view and when you stay in the villas at Caribe Royale they have their own pool section in case you don’t want to head to the main pool. 

I’ve always been a fan of suites for family trips but this was perfect for our girls trip too! Are you team suite or team hotel room?

Thank you again to the team at @cariberoyaleorlando for hosting us!

As many times as I’ve gone to Epcot this past tr As many times as I’ve gone to Epcot this past trip was my first time inside Club Cool. I’ve heard of “The Beverly” plenty times but we didn’t think it’d be THAT bad. 

Why is the bad taste delayed? Why do people drink this? Why did @shayewyllie look like she was about to drink more? Why is that even still an option in the soda machine?! I have ALL THE QUESTIONS @disneyparks 🥹😅😂

Dinner at The Venetian Chophouse at @cariberoyaleo Dinner at The Venetian Chophouse at @cariberoyaleorlando was a vibe 🔥🔥

From appetizer all the way through dessert the food was amazing, the service was top tier and the atmosphere was perfect for @shayewyllie’s birthday dinner. Seriously, that stuffed lobster tail had to be the most amazing thing I’ve ever had.

You can also dine at this restaurant as part of @visitorlando’s Magical Nights for $60 per adult and trust me when I say it’s absolutely worth it!

Thank you so much to the team at The Venetian Chophouse for an incredible dinner!

Happy Saturday! This time last week I was waking Happy Saturday! 

This time last week I was waking up at @cariberoyaleorlando with some of my favorite people to celebrate @shayewyllie turning thirty ONcE again 😅.

Caribe Royale was the perfect home base for her birthday celebration! Between the private two bedroom villa, to the amazing on-site restaurants (Starbucks included!), the pools and water slide and the magical transportation to @disneyparks and @disneysprings the resort has everything you can think of for a magical birthday stay! The resort is honestly perfect for a family trip, girls trip, conference or solo-cation. I can’t wait to head back with the fam!

You can check my highlight for more of our trip and just wait til tomorrow when I share the amazing birthday dinner we had 😊✨💕

Thank you for hosting us @cariberoyaleorlando! Can’t wait to be back.
