Fun Findings Friday!!

Happy Friday, Jetsetters!

We all get really excited to go on a vacation, but when it comes to choosing outfits to pack, it can really put a damper on the mood!

This week's Fun Friday Shout out goes to Travel Fashion Girl! You can't go wrong with their wardrobe packing lists! On their website, they have each wardrobe list organized by what part of the country you are traveling too! I love this! I wish I had these lists when I traveled to Malawi in September! It would have saved me a lot of time!

Wanderlust Wednesday: Havana, Cuba

It's Wednesday-so you know what that means! We are back for another edition of Wanderlust Wednesday! Today, we are taking a look at a very special place: Havana, Cuba!

If most of you have been following the news, Airlines have begun offering commercial flights to the once forbidden Cuba. It has been decades since Americans were able to visit as tourist, and still today those tourist restrictions have not been completely lifted. But it's Wanderlust Wednesday! So that doesn't mean we can't dream right?? Keep reading to learn more about this dream destination!

Where is Cuba?

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean located next to the Cayman Islands and Haiti. It also isn't too far from Florida. The capital Havana, has influences all throughout South Florida (Little Havana in Miami), but since tourist travel is so close on the horizon, why not plan to visit Havana in person!

Where to stay?
Welcome to the Melia Habana! Located along the capital city Havana's coastline, each room is designed to give beautiful views of the city and of the sea. There are also several restaurants and bars on site---you can thank us later!
Eat while enjoying the beautiful views!


What to do in Havana?

Since Americans have not been able to visit Havana, I'm sure most of us would not know what to do or see while there. Havana would be a place to get lost in history and soak up the culture-especially if it is your first visit!
You can also visit a local cigar shop and try the famous Cuban Cigar! 


What to eat while in Havana?

Because of the foodie that you are--we know you are going to want to try something different while in Havana. Why not go for some of Havana's Street Food! 


Well, we hope you have enjoyed this edition of Wanderlust Wednesday. We hope it peaked your interest in this tropical nation as well as inspired you to start thinking about your dream destination!

Wanderlust Wednesday!!!

We are always looking for new places to visit--so what better way to fulfill our inherited wanderlust genes than to highlight our dream destinations. Every Wednesday, we will host Wanderlust Wednesday- where we highlight our dream vacations.

For our first installment, we are taking a virtual trip to the Maldives!

The Maldives is situated in the Indian Ocean and has ~1100 islands & sandbanks. This makes it the perfect location to get lost and explore with a group of friends or your significant other!

Where would we stay?

The Maldives are known for their luxury villas! So if we are going to dream about being in the Maldives, why not dream big!

Voted as one of the 10 best Luxury Resorts, staying at the Naladhu Resort would definitely be a treat!
These villas have bathrooms that have their own private outdoor area with a rainshower and infinity edge terrazzo bathtub.

What would we do in the Maldives?

The Maldives has something for everyone- the adventurer, relaxer, fisher, explorer etc.


We love a good adventure- so Snorkeling would definitely be on our list of excursions!


No trip would be complete without trying some traditional local food!

A trip to the Maldives would definitely be considered luxury travel. While resorts may be pricey, there are usually flight deals to these beautiful islands leaving from major hubs like Washington D.C.'s Dulles Airport. 

Please join us next week for another installment of Wanderlust Wednesday! What is your dream destination??

What to pack for a Romantic Getaway..


Are you going on a Romantic Getaway this weekend for Valentine's Day? Looking for fashionable items to pack to help make sure you look sweet & cute? Read along for JSD's suggestions on what to pack for your Baecation!


Are you headed somewhere warm or tropical? Don't forget to pack a statement swimsuit piece! Pick something that is sexy but also covers the right parts to leave some room for imagination and anticipation. Crochet swimsuits are cute, flirty and fun! Don't forget to pack some sunscreen as well--sunburn isn't a sexy accessory!


Nothing says sexy or "Kiss Me" like a pop from red lipstick! Don't have a favorite red shade yet? Check out MAC's Ruby Woo, Chanel's Classic Pirate Lipstick or a variety of NARS shades at Sephora. For an extra pop, use NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella.


Going out for a night on the town? Or to a fancy French restaurant? Throw on a sexy backless dress with a pair of strappy heels! Men love women who can rock a pair of heels confidently and it gives your legs super definition!


A Romantic Getaway What to Pack list would not be complete without the perfect cosmetic must haves! Dior's Pure Poison perfume is sure to grab the attention of your other half with its bold scent. Give your nails a pop similar to your lips with a red color like OPI's California Raspberry or Dutch Tulips. Finish off the look with a Shimmery Gold Smokey eye! Nothing says seductress like these beauty must-haves!


There you have it! Our list of What to Pack for a Romantic Getaway. What are some items you think are perfect for a romantic weekend getaway?
