Who needs a bit of vacation time? Raise those hands ladies!! When you look back and think about the best nights out, and when you have had the most fun, 9 out of 10 times your girls have been with you. In our society, where we put our nose to the grind that 40 plus hours, or take care of children 24/7 (because you know that’s never ending), we desperately need that time with our girlfriends to remind us why “adulting” on weekdays is necessary, but how blowing off steam every so often is needed for our sanity. So...
Summer is finally here and there are a few things I think every girl/woman needs for the summer. Summer is the time to wear all those bright colors, smell tropical fragrances, and give yourself a gorgeous sun kissed glow. However, you want to make sure you are using products that are going to help your skin, hair, and nails. That’s why I put together these great items that I have purchased in preparation for this heat filled summer in Florida. Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Mousse I love this sunless tanner because it goes on so smoothly with a glove...
So Victoria’s Secret will soon stop selling bathing suits! That is such a bummer. I have been buying bathing suits for years from them and rarely buy them from anywhere else. I don’t know if it’s just easy because I use my VS card and get my points, or that I just haven’t really broken out of my bubble too much. Lately I have been purchasing some swim suits from other designers such as Marysia…I just love her swimwear. But since Victoria’s Secret is having a 70% sale on all swimwear till MONDAY I thought I would give you all...
This past weekend was my boyfriends Birthday and Father’s Day, which is one of my favorite times of the year. For him he would rather not be bothered and just play some golf, but I really enjoy surprising him with something he’s been wanting and getting cards together from my son and me. This year we went out to dinner at The Palm at the Hard Rock Hotel here in Orlando. The food is so divine there I don’t think you could go wrong with anything you order. I tried this delicious Strawberry Moscow Mule cocktail that had strawberries,...
We hosted our first BBQ at our new home a couple weeks ago and of course summer in Florida is always looking like it’s going to schedule a hurricane on us. Luckily the weather was perfectly sunny albeit hot until after dinner time when we were ready for some rain. There are all different kinds of hostesses, some like to take on more challenges than others. I am horrible at going overboard when it comes to party planning which means I spend way too much money, way too much time, and then feel way under appreciated. So I decided for...
So my blog isn’t called Flamingos & Pineapples for nothing…I simply love both of those things. So for today’s Tuesday Ten post I thought I would round up the top ten flamingo and pineapple items I am currently obsessed with! Flamingo & Pineapple Floats: These floats are just so much fun. I can’t wait to use them over the summer for lounging in the pool. Mainly I bought them for my girls trip I have coming up to Daytona Beach. We are all bringing floats to relax in the water and sip a tropical beverage. Pineapple Earrings: These gold...
Who doesn’t love a good sale? I am always shopping around before I buy something to make sure I am getting it for the best price. Most items I like to buy on sale, unless its already priced low, or something I’m really going to use and I can’t wait. When it comes to high end brands I definitely like to wait for a sale to choose those pieces. Right now the Half Yearly Sale at Nordstrom is going on and here are the top ten items I either already have, or have something similar. Charles David Pact Pump: These pumps are...
This weekend I ended up working on my yard to get everything ready for our house warming BBQ that we are hosting next weekend. After I completed all the things I wanted to get done around the house we went to my cousin’s home for a get together. I love a good pair of destroyed denim shorts for a casual day. The pair that I wore this weekend are old from Victoria’s Secret and are just so comfortable and soft. White is a great denim color to me for all year round. Thankful Tee from Sweet T’s Design Shoppe...

Here are two outfits for the career woman who works a 9-5 even in a conservative environment. This could also be worn if you wanted to dress up for a business meeting. The first outfit is a great way to style a shirt dress with a slip underneath to give it a bit of contrast and so that it’s not too sheer, or too short. A wrap belt helps to accentuate your waist and make your legs look longer. When choosing a dress for work I wouldn’t choose one that was more than 1″ above the knee to keep it professional and within...
