This trip to Miami was AH-mazing! I kicked off my Winter Warmerland stay at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel by being greeted immediately upon arrival by the most friendly and helpful staff ever.  I couldn’t help but stare around the whole time, because the property is huge! There were so many restaurants/stores on property that made it completely pointless to go elsewhere for food/entertainment.  The last thing I want to do when I’m on a trip is hail down a cab {or get an uber} and try to find somewhere to eat.  Luckily, Loews Miami Beach Hotel had everything I needed right there, and the best of it!

I indulged in one heck of a dinner at Lure Fishbar — my favorite part of that meal was my beet salad {if you don’t know this about me, I LOVE beets!}.  I was also able to taste some fancy schmancy cocktails at the Rum Line, their new outdoor bar, which were just as good as they sounded…if not better.

In the mornings, I took advantage of their amazing in-house fitness center at Exhale Spa.  They even offer barre, yoga, and core classes.  There’s no better trip than starting each day off with a good workout. I then spent my days lounging by the pool {which had an outdoor restaurant/bar for lunch} and the beach {which you were also able to receive goodies from the restaurant straight to your beach chairs}.  Their Miami Express, featured above, was one of my favorite drinks of that week — a Miami Vice topped with Bacardi 151 on top.  It was seriously so tasty…but I had to limit myself to one or else I’d be gettin’ a bit too happy if ya know what I mean.

I was also able to experience a day by the pool in the comfort of a SOAK daybed.  It was so relaxing — by reserving a SOAK daybed, you receive an exclusive designated area, personalized butler service, expanded food & drink menu, and an exclusive jacuzzi.  If you have more than 2 people, then definitely check out their SOAK cabanas…#swoon.

Their in-house Exhale Spa is beautiful, as well, offering so many great spa therapies, like the Tahitian Body Scrub.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try out the body scrub, because I was a bit burned from the sun {yikes! I swear I wore SPF!}, so I opted for a fusion massage with shea butter per the spa’s advice in order to hydrate my skin.  It was just what my roasted skin needed — no really, it worked wonders! They also offer a post-sun ‘cool beam’ facial too {yes, please!}.

If you’re planning a little getaway to somewhere warm, then definitely consider Loews Miami Beach Hotel!  Their Winter Warmerland package ends April 30th and it includes $50 resort credit per day, kids eat free, 1 complimentary yoga or core fusion class, $25 off a 60 minute therapy, and 25% off retail SOAK daybeds!

  1. I’d love to go on a vacation to Miami, soak up some sun, and relax. This hotel looks really nice and looks like you had an amazing time!

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
