Take time for snuggles this season. I feel like December sneaks up on me every year. Thanks to working in retail now, I got a head start on my holiday spirit and I’m not mad about it. The tree was up in October, all my gifts have been ordered and most sent. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can schedule time to just relax a bit and soak in the season. I always love recounting the past year. This year... maybe I could skip. But honestly it wasn’t all bad. We have bloomed in a lot of new ways. From learning to be a plant lady to building a giant front porch, to homeschooling, we have grown. We miss traveling, we’ve missed a lot of good times with friends local and out of town, but we’ve remained positive, done our best to shield our children from the worst of this year, and have learned to love and respect beyond our own understanding. We also remember the ones we’ve lost, yes, some from Covid. Sadly our family too has not gone untouched from the pandemic.
.
I know it’s been the hardest year for many of you. In what way has 2020 transformed you for the better?

Queen of the Harvest. 👸
#22 Embrace the Harvest at Congaree and Penn
🍯🍚🍇🐔
“It might surprise you to learn that the Florida climate is ideal for growing rice. With our high humidity and clay-rich soil, the moisture creates a fine environment for the rice to develop. Originally established in 2014 as a fish farm, Congaree and Penn received such great feedback on a side crop of rice that they quickly changed course. Since then has grown to include diverse offerings, including the largest orchard of mayhaw trees in the world. Congaree also houses “you-pick” vines, fancy chickens, and thousands of honey-producing bees. Here on the farm, Congaree welcomes guests to learn and grow together, embracing all things in the collective spirits of agriculture, culinary art, and community. Take a sunset “cruise” across the farm’s 350 acres on a tractor-pulled wagon, hike the farm with a friendly goat, or dine in style on locally grown fare as you relax and connect with nature.”

New normal vs old normal. Missing them good ole pre Covid days but pleased to have seen a few of my @the.hive.society friends at the soft opening of @pureharmonymedspa this week. What a great location and fantastic list of services. Plus, loving those @zoskincare products. I think I’m trying the hydro facial first. That’s been on my to do list for a while.

Dis bag. 😍👜
Travel bag review: (not and ad)
I’ve talked about my love for expandable totes as a fundamental travel bag before, and this is the bag that made me believe so. In fact I love how roomy and versatile this @stelladot tote that I wore my first one out and just got this new print for Christmas. It’s a great weekender bag or personal carry on for air travel. The expander gives you extra room to bring home those souvenirs you pick up last minute and can’t fit in your carry on. Plus cute prints and it’s easy to clean. My only hold back is that it doesn’t have straps for your carry on, but not to fear Stella has some new travel bags that do. Check it out. It’s one of my favs for sure.

Travel must have! 🧳A classic staple for any travel bag is a versatile black jumpsuit. Dress it up or down this staple is easy to top with a light jacket or statement necklace, sandals, or a cute bootie to switch the look up. This one from @bishopandyoung is perfect with a faux wrap top, adjustable straps, and pockets!

Sophisticated and chic layering pieces that can mix and match from day to night are the perfect items to pack for trips you don’t know your itinerary for✈️. I chose this leopard print blazer for a happy hour event last night with @nyoobe at @blacksheepfivepoints and paired it with a soft white tank and black faux leather spanx leggings. I finished it all off with classic black booties and a black clutch. All these items are incredibly versatile and can be worn multiple ways depending on the occasion. If you are a frequent traveler building your travel capsule wardrobe save this for your shopping inspiration. I’m also tagging some of these and similar items below.

What’s your travel uniform?
Today I’m breaking down mine.
Having a travel uniform takes the stress out of deciding what to wear when you head to the airport. This is what I wear every time I travel with some variation in style due to weather.

👗Versatile dress topped with a layering piece such as a denim jacket or sweater.
🥾Wear your biggest shoes (for me boots).
🧥Wear or carry your coat (if the weather demands you bring it).
🧳Carry on bag.
💼Tote/everywhere bag,
👜Cross body bag ( this can easily be tucked into your tote/computer bag/ backpack).

Travel Tip: Trevi Fountain tends to be less crowded at night. Also, I love how it comes alive under the lights. Definitely make time to see it both day and night.
.
.

Packing Tip: Dressing for the gram when you travel? Follow this rule to keep it to a carry on. 80% versatile staples. 20% statement pieces. Know where you are planning to visit on what day and pull out your statement pieces then. Think about colors that contrast with backgrounds to stand out, or go soft and romantic to add more motion to your photos. A statement piece can be anything from printed jeans, to a colorful maxi, to an eye catching hat or accessory. Scroll through to see some examples from my travels. I’ll link additional ones as well through my LIKEtoKNOW.it.

I knew this dress was perfect for Paris when I tried it on at @Apropos . The perfect simple yet elegant little black dress. It managed to have volume without taking up extra space in my bag and doesn’t wrinkle. I’d say that’s a worthy travel investment.

Story time. As those who prey on tourists do, these roses were thrust into my hands at the Spanish Steps. I politely declined but he wouldn’t take them back. I told David, “He’s gonna try to get money out of you.”

We took a few photos and the rose vendor came up all offended. To which I politely invited him to take his roses back. And he did😜

I don’t know about you but it’s easy for me to get into tunnel vision mode with all tasks on my to do list every day. Travel is my favorite way to take a step back and gain some perspective. I always learn something new about the world and myself. Problems seem smaller, priorities come into focus, and new dreams are born. What does travel do for you?

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately from other folks in social media on how to rise above the haters. Here’s my answer. Realize that their hate says way more about them, than it does about you. When I’m struggling to understand why someone would want to drag me down, I remember that it takes a small person with small thoughts, and small dreams to be threatened by someone else’s success and happiness. Not to mention a lot more time to waste than I do. Surround yourself with those who celebrate you. And receive their wisdom and critique with grace, not insecurity. For those who aren’t investing in you, let the negative comments roll off of you and don’t give them the satisfaction of engaging in their drama. Then you’ll truly rise above.

Today I was just thinking about how much time we waste despairing that we aren’t good enough because we compare ourselves to someone we think is more successful. When really we just need to put our heads down and get to work actually doing better. Don’t waste any more time today comparing yourself. Instead roll up your sleeves and tap into your best self. Nothing is more attractive than a person who is confident and happy with who they are.
