Updated Hair Routine / How to Get Healthy Hair

Are you frustrated about your hair because it’s thinning, hard to style and doesn’t feel healthy overall?

That’s how I felt too!

So I began researching how to get healthy hair because I NEEDED a change.

Having a baby and getting older has caused my hair to change A LOT. I’ve noticed it thinning, not growing like it used to and feeling constantly dirty, even after I just washed it. It’s been incredibly frustrating because the products I used for years just didn’t work for me anymore.

I did some research and talked to some friends about where to start. Then I ordered a handful of products to try and I’ve found a routine that has given me my long thick bouncy hair back! I’m also seeing a ton of new growth where spots have been thinning out. EXCITING!

You need to start with a new shampoo, conditioner and testament product (like a scalp serum if you want hair growth)

I know what you’re thinking… TELL ME WHAT YOU’RE USING.

FYI..This is my hair type: Thick, frizzy, oily scalp, thinning

Shampoo: https://monatglobal.com/ca/shampoo-conditioner/ (use Celine & State = Georgia to list me as your market partner)

Hydrating Conditioner (just on my ends): https://monatglobal.com/ca/advanced-hydrating-conditioner/ (use Celine & State = Georgia to list me as your market partner)

LOVE this dry shampoo: https://monatglobal.com/ca/the-champ-conditioning-dry-shampoo/ (use Celine & State = Georgia to list me as your market partner)

But remember, you need a good shampoo and conditioner to cleanse the scalp and promote growth!

Secrets Maroma Vacation 2023

If you’re looking for a relaxing vacation that is adults only and all inclusive resort then I found the resort for you.

We stayed at Secrets Maroma which is about 40 minutes outside of Cancun, Mexico.

This was our first time staying at a Secrets resort. For comparison, we’ve stayed at a Sandals resort twice before (in the Caribbean) We LOVED Sandals Antigua and didn’t think the Jamaica resort was anything special. So this year we decided to try Secrets out. And Secrets Maroma did not disappoint!

The property was stunning.

The service was great.

The details of what they offered guests throughout the day were over the top!

They came around cleaning sunglasses and each day they pushed around a cart with different offerings – fresh mojitos, crepes, ice cream.

Something else I loved about this resort is that you don’t make reservations for dinner. They had 7 restaurants and were never too busy – even at 7-8pm!

The rooms were much nicer than other resorts we’ve been to. That was something we even noticed online while comparing. We did upgrade to a swim out room and loved the ability to swim without being around other people at the end or beginning of the day.

The resort is also small compared to others we’ve been to, which is a big plus in my opinion. You don’t have to fight for pool or beach chairs, no long waits at dinner. It was so relaxing and low key.

We would definitely go back to this resort and would love to check out more properties from the Secrets brand.

Outfits I wore all week can be shopped here: https://liketk.it/45OXB

I rented dresses from Nuuly (here’s a link for $10 off your first order). It was amazing because you can wear dresses you won’t wear often and the brands are expensive! But I got to rent 6 of them for only $80. And when you’re done you just ship them back – no laundry after vacation!

Girls Trip to the Bahamas 2023

I figured it was easier to answer questions from Instagram in a blog post that way you can come back and reference it!

We booked a long weekend at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar for a girls trip and the most asked question was did we like it / would we recommend it. My answer is yes. The property was pretty, rooms were decent, food/drinks were great AND it’s only 10 min from the airport!

The property is HUGE. 3 hotels sharing one large property (we’re talking 12 pools total):

Rosewood – Luxury, quiet and expensive

Grand Hyatt – Where the families stay – you can find kid pools or quiet pools

SLS – Where the younger crowd stays because it’s a party vibe. Music all day and night!

We would have loved to stay at Rosewood or SLS but they were more expensive so we stayed at the Grand Hyatt. The resort is not all inclusive so make sure you budget for $25 entrees and $18 cocktails (+tips are automatically added to your bill). The good news is the portions were large and the drinks were not weak.

What we did:

Friday – Flew in that morning. Lunch and lounging at one of the pools at Grand Hyatt. Dinner at Fi’lia.

Saturday – SLS day club pool (12pm – 6pm). Dinner at Costa.

Sunday – Waterpark in the morning and then lunch and lounging back at a Grand Hyatt pool. Left that afternoon

There is no storage of nightlife happening after dinner:

  • DJ in the lobby of SLS or their rooftop bar
  • Casino in the Grand Hyatt
  • Piano bar in the Grand Hyatt
  • Cigar bar in SLS
  • Bougee cocktail bar in Rosewood

The only complaint I can think of is we didn’t get a room until 5:30pm. Check in STARTS at 4pm and you’re not guaranteed a room right at 4pm. They will hold your luggage and give you a room to change into so you can enjoy the property while you wait. It’s also worth noting that you need to make dinner reservations ASAP after you book. The restaurants fill up fast because the resort is so big. Same can be said for the pool and beach chairs. They will be taken by 1pm so get breakfast and go grab chairs by 11am. You can also reserve chairs and cabanas for a pretty penny – meaning it’s pricey. We rented chairs at the SLS day club pool and it was expensive but a fun day.

One thing you might not do (unless you are going with kiddos) is go to the water park onsite. But let me tell you, we had a blast going down the water slides! Highly recommend an activity to break up the sunbathing! And the one thing I wish we had done was checked out the Beach Club. It has an infinity pool that looks out at the beach. I think you need a reservation to get chairs in there though.

That’s all I can think of for now. Hope this was helpful 🙂

30A Travel Guide

We just returned from our first stay so while it’s fresh in my mind, here is a 30A travel guide.

We’ve seen so many people go there and and we FINALLY were able to check it out.

Where/what is 30A? It’s a 30 mile stretch along the Florida panhandle that consist of multiple beach towns.

First impression of the beach: Beautiful beach!!! The water was so clear and the sand wasn’t hot at all.

30A Beach

First impression of the area: Each town has it’s own vibe. Seaside / Watercolor is a very popular area to stay so it’s naturally the most busy. It had a lot food options that seemed walkable or could bike from rentals. Rosemary seemed like the same as Seaside, but maybe a bit nicer of an area. Alys Beach is luxury and gorgeous. Out of budget for us to stay in but a great place for a nice meal.

Alys Beach Shoppes

Like most of my guides, this 30A travel guide recommends renting a home. We rented a home off VRBO and love doing that over staying at a hotel. You get way more privacy and can make your own meals to save money. It turns out, I can’t link the exact home we stayed in anymore but we usually use VRBO or AirBnB. Then as we become more familiar with an area, we sometimes reach out to a local rental agency for assistance.

I recommend booking a home with a pool so you can break up your days between the beach and pool. And if you don’t bring your own beach chairs, there are a lot of beach rental companies that will give you chairs and umbrellas!

30A Rental Home

Here’s what we did almost every day:

Make breakfast at the house

Walk to the beach

Lounge and play spike ball (or another beach game)

Go to Seaside food trucks for a casual lunch or make lunch at the house

Afternoon by the pool

Explore the area and pick a place for dinner

Restaurant recommendations:

The Red Bar

Shunk Gulley

Georges

Citizens

Most places don’t take reservations so eat early or be prepared to wait.

Georges at Alys Beach in 30A

A lot of people also rent bikes to get around – because parking can be a nightmare. We experienced this multiple times because we didn’t rent bikes.

Some rental homes include bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas so be sure to check your listing.

Overall, we loved it and are excited to go back next year.

If you are going, enjoy!

Travel Guide: Chateau Elan Winery and Resort

Chateau Elan Winery and Resort has been our go-to spot this Summer. The property recently underwent luxury renovations and it’s gorgeous! Plus, it’s a quick drive from the city making it a great place for a weekend getaway. When I shared our recent stay on Instagram I had questions about the resort and I’m answering them here!

Here are my suggestions for what to do at Chateau Elan:

Friday: Book a 1pm wine tasting. Check-in isn’t until 4pm but you can ask for an early checkin and if they have it then you can throw your stuff in the room and then head to your tasting. The wine tastings usually take us 2-3 hours because they include 7 pours. It’s a great way to kick off a long weekend away!

Then you pop over to your room to freshen up before dinner. They have multiple restaurants onsite and some require reservations so be sure to plan before hand. Both times we’ve been there weren’t reservations available for one of the restaurant, Marcs, but we were still able to walk up and get a table due to cancellations.

Saturday: I use this day to hang by the pool. The seats get taken fast so be sure to grab chairs by 9am. Even though it’s crowded, It’s quiet in the morning. Then the poolside bar opens and they turn on music at 11am. The poolside bar is great because they have food on the menu and staff that walk around to take your order. You get to sit back and relax! This is not advertised as an adult-only resort but we have only seen kids there once. I haven’t checked out the spa yet but some like to cut their pool day short and get a treatment.

After a day in the sun, you can grab a nice dinner at Versailles or a casual dinner at Paddys. I love having options! I recommend stopping by Louis House of Bourbon for post-dinner drinks. The decor throughout the resort is amazing and this lounge doesn’t disappoint either!

Sunday: If you’re a golfer like my husband then this is a great day to book a tee time. They have 2 courses to choose from. If you’re NOT a golfer – like me – then you can sleep in then grab some avocado toast at Versailles. The resort also have a really cute coffee shop on site if you just need a latte and pastry! Checkout is at 11am but if you want to linger around the property a bit, you should grab a bottle of wine and a lounge chair overlooking the vineyards. It’s so quiet and peaceful. PS: you can also ask for a late checkout and if it’s available you can checkout at 12pm.

It’s a great place for a couples trip or a group getaway. Our first stay was all couples and our next stay was full of girl/guy groups. Enjoy some of the property pictures below! Let me know if you end up booking.

LAUNCHED! Career Guides

 

How to find a job and how to write a good resume are not things school taught us.

Let’s be honest, they are overwhelming just to think about.

I’m not saying you have to be obsessed with your company or colleagues but you cannot let yourself be miserable. There is a better job out there and I can help you find it with my career guides.
