Oh boy was the month of July a doozy. Started out my favorite weekend of the year 4th of July which was of course spent none other than the Jersey Shore 🤍. I have to say I think 4th of July might be my second favorite holiday. Coming out of the Holiday weekend was Tony’s 29th birthday. The following week was Amazon Prime week which was just absolutely crazy (my full time job!) Then immediately after I spent 10 days in Kenosha Wisconsin for work, and ended up getting sick once I arrived home for 9 days and here we are! What a whirlwind! So needless to say, not a lot of free time and my favorites list might be a little short.

• [solidcore] feeling like I am getting stronger here. Kenosha and getting sick we’re definitely a set back, but loving these workouts.
• Alo matching sets for dayssss! I think I now have every color of the Match Point Tennis skirt.
• HGW on Brickell Key! Nothing beats it.
• Trader Joe’s finally opened across from my building.
• Amazon storefront
• I had my first ever TikTok hit 1 million views
• Brightside OOTD
• Baseball Games! While in Kenosha I had the opportunity to go to 4 games and knock 3 parks off my list!

As Tony and I have made our transition to Florida, I feel like my daily routine is completely out of whack. I’m not sure if any of you can relate from times that you’ve moved to a new place or a new state in the past. One of the things that always happens to meet in particular is I tend to break out like crazy due to stress when I am in a new area. Finding a new routine as I settle into my new city is really important to me.

I wanted to share a few goals I have for the month of May that really focus around settling into my new routine in Miami.

• Have a morning and night skincare routine. This is something I’ve never been great at and I need to make it important.
• Use lash serum! I have been trying to feel more confident when I don’t wear false lashes and I would love to see how long they will grow with the serum.
• Finish unpacking! We are 95% of the way there but there are still a few boxes I need to tackle.
• Find the workout schedule that works best with my schedule.
• Stop mindless snacking.
• Go for a walk once a week with Tony.
• One new date night this month of something we have never done before!
