Normally when I hear someone say “we’re having wine spritzers” the wine snob in me turns up my nose. It always felt like a good way to ruin a bottle of wine. But then I thought about all the times I have enjoyed sangria, mimosas or bellinis – all wine that is made more fun by adding some juice, or fruit. Also, what if you only have one bottle of wine (I used Luna Nuda Pinot Grigio) and need to make it go further? Makes sense to mix it into a refreshing bubbly drink. I am here to tell...

Shein is where I tend to find a ton of my swimwear. With summer having so many American holidays from Memorial Day to Labor Day, I wanted to round up some of my favorite patriotic swimsuits under $15. I found some bikinis and one pieces in a mix of red, white, and blue and none of these will break the bank. PATRIOTIC SWIMSUITS RED SWIMSUITS BLUE SWIMSUITS WHITE SWIMSUITS I hope you find something here that you will love for summer, or the next patriotic holiday you spend at the beach, or the pool. Xoxo, Nikki

Taking care of my skin has always been a top priority. Growing up I rarely wore makeup and even now, during the week, I focus more on keeping my skin clean vs. putting makeup to cover blemishes. My mother has more recently been stressing about the importance of skincare since she works for a plastic surgeon and you only have one chance to keep your skin healthy. So, when I fell in love with Tula products; I knew it was a great opportunity to update my skincare routine. Tula is not some trendy product, but a clean and effective company...
Have you ever tasted an ice-cold glass of limoncello on a hot summer day? If so, you know how amazing this Italian liqueur can be. Mixed into a sangria with three types of melon, it’s quite possibly even better. This sangria tastes like summertime captured in one delicious pitcher. Some people make their own limoncello, however, I just purchased a bottle from my local Italian market. This will pair perfectly with an Italian Prosecco and compliment the melon and mint to bring all of the flavors together. My favorite Prosecco that’s delicious and affordable, is Luna Nuda. You can...
There are several beautiful coastal beach towns here in Florida. However, nothing says seaside-chic like Palm Beach. The small town is known for their impressive real estate, preppy southern style, and their bright and sunny color palette. I wanted to provide a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this distinctly Floridian aesthetic and bring home some sunshine no matter where you may be. Also, just because Palm Beach is an expensive place, doesn’t mean that you have to spend a ton of money to achieve that look. Even when shopping from stores like Pottery Barn Orlando you can stay...
One of my favorite affordable brands, that I have been shopping from for years, is SheIn. It’s funny how people call it different things. My cousin calls it Sheen, and I call it She In. It seems like I always gravitate to pieces that shock me with their price tags. All of these summer outfits are under $15. I found some great light weight dresses and rompers that will be perfect for a beach vacay, or a girls brunch. They are styled from dressy to casual, so there’s something for every occasion. LEMON ROMPER Made from a fabric that...

Happy Wednesday Fam! It’s hump day, which already has me thinking about the weekend. One of my best purchases for quarantine and summer has been my Minnidip pool. Not only does it make me feel like I’m at The Colony in Palm Beach, but I don’t feel silly wearing my swimwear around the backyard. I am rounding up some of my favorite affordable swimsuits from Shein that are under $15. Yes, you hear that right. These are all under $15 and you will actually be able to afford to have a whole summer swim wardrobe. ONE PIECES I’m more...

The multiple times that I brought up getting a dog, my husband completely shot me down. To be honest if he had his way, we would not have gotten Coco. Even though he has come around and loves her too. When my mom got me my puppy for Christmas, I was completely overjoyed. Really, I had no clue what it would take to be a dog parent. I did know that after having two kids, I knew how to take care of someone else, so it couldn’t be that hard. There are so many things to learn when it...

Are you looking for some fun family ideas since we are staying at home now a days? Well I have a great one for you! Ford challenged us to create our own drive in movie night at the house last weekend, and it was so much fun. It’s actually not expensive to get a projector and screen off Amazon. Once you have those two supplies; you are set up for a summer of family fun. I couldn’t exactly drive the cars around to the back of the house to have an actual drive in movie. However, I made the...

Good Morning Friends! I wanted to share a full tutorial on how I made the DIY cardboard box cars for our drive in movie night. Below are all of the step-by-step instructions on how to assemble your own cardboard car.
