Viva La Mexico

Fairmont Mayakoba

Just a quick three to four hour flight from either the east or west coasts and you will find yourself in one of the best tropical destinations in the Caribbean – Mayakoba. We recently partnered with Fairmont for a quick visit to one of their most luxurious properties, which is just 45 minutes south of Cancun.

The resort itself is a lush, tropical oasis located just outside the typical hustle and bustle of a more crowded Cancun. It’s nestled against the lagoon in the mangrove trees and seemingly has a full forest of palm trees everywhere you turn. The way that the resort is situated makes it feel like it grew out of the tropical forest it calls home. On the beach you will find panoramic views of the incredibly blue sea set against the whitest, softest sand. We were fortunate enough to wake up to this view for four days in early April and we are already thinking of when we should plan our next trip. 

Our days were filled with sunshine, margaritas, and lots and lots of food. The restaurants on property serve some of the best traditional Mexican food we’ve ever had and believe it or not SUSHI as well. The resorts boasts plenty of activities for travelers such as paddle boarding, tennis and beach volleyball.

During our trip we were celebrating my 30th birthday and the entire staff went out of their way to make the celebration incredibly special. They were kind enough to host us for a private tequila tasting and dinner, which was spectacular. It was the perfect setting to ring in a new decade!

In our opinion, Fairmont Mayakoba is not just another resort. It is a tropical oasis that incorporates luxury accommodations, attentive staff, and nature’s beauty. We can’t wait for our next visit and enjoy some sun and recharge. If you’re interested in checking out the property, please click here. We can’t recommend it enough.

Wanderlust with SouthWest Airlines

I’m proud to partner with Southwest Airlines® to bring you on a trip to the amazing island of Puerto Rico. Making it a great destination for a long weekend in the sun. Puerto Rico also doesn’t require you to bring your passport. So NO CUSTOMS and NO LINES! This had us sold.

We had the luxury of experiencing old San Juan and the amazing Dorado Beach. The streets, people, and food are so vibrant within the city center that you won’t want to leave. Our recommendation is to take your time in Old San Juan. Explore the colorful streets, historic fort, restaurants and art galleries. Stop by the Garden of Hotel El Convento for an afternoon coffee then continue on down the main shopping fairs for some amazing Caribbean art. San Juan offers a ton of history as well as island flair. It’s a part of the island you won’t want to miss.

Once you’ve spent enough time exploring the culture of San Juan. Take a 20-/30 minute drive to Dorado
Beach. We had the pleasure of staying at the Ritz Carlton Reserve where you’ll find yourself feeling like you’re in a different world. Right outside the hustle and bustle of San Juan is an oasis on the beach. The grounds are pristine, the spa is 5 acres of lush forest and outdoor spas. Some of the best food on the island is at this hotel. But most of all, make sure you relax on the beach. PR is an island and for a long weekend you need to take in some much needed R&R.

We're jumping into spring with our new Stadler shoes from UGG.  These are the perfect fit for transitioning from winter to summer.  They're incredibly comfortable with two different insoles, one being the signature wool lined insole and the other being an extra comfortable thick insole. I paired the shoes with both shorts and pants which allows for versatility among the looks and weather changes. They have a classic designer with a more young feel so you can dress them up or dress them down which is perfect!  The Stadler shoe is a great shoe for spring/summer and I highly recommend them as the price is a steal for the quality.

Grooming with The Morris Park Collection

This week we've teamed up with The Art of Shaving to bring you an inside look at their new Morris Park Collection.  Many people think men's grooming isn't important but after trying out these new products we're convinced that it's a daily necessity. Their packaging is aesthetically pleasing with its modern feel and clean lines and the product was amazingly smooth on my skin thanks in part to its weighted handle.  The collection was designed after classic racing cars with a bright, bold style, you can see this in design of the razors especially.  The handles are durable, smooth and clean cut which allow for an extremely close shave.  
 
Many guys nowadays have beards and they don't think grooming is as important because they don't have to shave daily, I was one of these men.  But after using The Art of Shaving Beard Oil, Shaving Cream, and Morris Park Collection Razor to clean up my beard outlines, and the after-shave mask to soothe my skin, I soon realized how important it is to have good quality grooming supplies.  The Art of Shaving will now be a constant in my bathroom cabinet and morning routine.

European Neutrals

Stuck in the Bermuda Triangle

For the past few days, we were fortunate enough to explore the beautiful island of Bermuda with our wonderful hosts at Rosewood Tucker's Point.  Prior to our stay, we associated the island with the legends of mysterious ships disappearing off the coast. Now when we think of the island we think of the amazing turquoise water, the beautiful pink sand beaches and the charming historic elements of the surrounding town. 

The resort is situated on 200 acres in a beautiful cove called Tucker's Point.  Guests have beautiful views from all areas of the resort as well as world class golfing and an incredible spa.  If you go to the spa ask for Amelia, she was excellent.  The food was delicious and the rooms were very spacious with beach and pool access.

If you have the chance to travel to this beautiful island in the Atlantic you should absolutely visit Rosewood Tucker's Point.  For more information on the hotel please click here

Suite Life in London

Visiting London is always an unforgettable experience.  Whether it's Tower Bridge, St. James Park, the London Eye or an afternoon tea, we always have the best time.  We were lucky enough to stay at the beautiful Artist Residence, which is a boutique hotel in Victoria.  This 10 room townhouse converted property is an absolutely perfect place to stay in London Town.  It's spacious, beautifully decorated and feels like home.  We started everyday with breakfast at their restaurant, 64 Degrees, before we set out to explore all of the amazing sights London has to offer. The Artist Residence was the perfect place to relax and a great location to experience this city. We had a great time and can't wait for our next visit.
