Have you created the bedroom you’ve always wante

Have you created the bedroom you’ve always wanted yet? Do you know how to? Here’s how👇⁣
⁣
Y’all-I literally change rooms around at both homes CONSTANTLY!!! 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
Q. How do you get started decorating the bedroom of your dreams?⁣
A. Picture a room that would make you feel like you are on a dream vacation.⁣
⁣
Here are the first steps in imagining your dream bedroom:
⁣
Imagine a hotel that you think would be the most restful, romantic environment for a weekend getaway. ⁣
Start by closing your eyes and imagining you are packing your bags right now for the weekend! ⁣
⁣
Where would you LOVE to go? What would the hotel look like?⁣
Would the hotel be quaint and charming? Fancy and frivolous? Would the room be colorful and happy? Peaceful and serene? ⁣
⁣
Would the bed be piled high with fluffy pillows and a down comforter or would it be a sleek modern room with lots of sparkle and glam? Is your dream hotel at the coast? In the city? In a foreign country?⁣
⁣
You can take design cues from THAT dream vacation getaway and begin to pull together appropriate elements to recreate a similar feeling in your home (working with what you have and the limitations of your own space and budget, of course!). ⁣
⁣
Make a list of all the key words you came up with from your “dream escape” to help you to keep on track with your favorite design elements.⁣
⁣
Gathering inspiration photos and ideas is a great way to begin to figure out what you like and what would work in your own space! In addition to magazines online, there are also many online sources of inspiration photos such as Pinterest and Tumblr!⁣
⁣
Start by looking at the inspiration rooms as a whole, then go through each one again, looking specifically at bedding in each photo, the shape and material used for headboards, then look at what is on the walls in each room, how many pillows are used, what combination of fabrics you like best, then focus on the paint colors, what lighting is used, etc. Zeroing in on specifics in a space can help you see how a room is put together and the elements you like.⁣
⁣
Now, go create and get lost in your dream room!

Whenever I’m flying over the atolls in a seaplan

Whenever I’m flying over the atolls in a seaplane, I feel a sense of awakening and excitement.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
JOALI MALDIVES -ULTRA LUXURY RESORT⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So, when I was invited to stay at this ULTRA LUXURY RESORT⁣⁣, I was there within 4 days! I didn’t walk, I ran!!!⁣
⁣
Joali’ is the Dhivehi word for hammock, and the mood of this place is cradling. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Here’s what to expect at this promising ULTRA LUXURY RESORT⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
A welcome bottle of Ruinart champagne and a set of handmade chocolate coconut treats were waiting for us by the bar and a 15 minute complimentary massage was a great start to the journey.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We had own dedicated butler and a dhoni with our villa. The butler can take you back and forth anytime.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Joali is a miracle of transformation from a deserted island in Raa Atoll. What’s more, it was shattered by the el nino conditions of 2016, into a fabulous resort. This resort offers a sensual and sublime stay on a paradise island from the airport pick-up to the hotel welcome through to the return transfer.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
State-of-the-art luxury villas-Some rest on pure white sands, while others perch over marine blue waters.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Marine biologists helped instruct on protecting the teeming life of the ocean. Besides, every care has been taken to preserve flora and fauna of the atoll. ⁣
⁣
Guest at Joali can enjoy gourmet dining from several restaurants offering creative menus of Japanese, Asian, Mediterranean, and International cuisines.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
An ESPA Spa provides exclusive face and body treatments. There is also an open-air fitness and yoga studio, gym, pool, and water sports available.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For Maldivophiles, this is not a place that is indulging in crazy shenanigans: it’s biggest strength is its commitment to those classic hotel considerations of service, comfort, location and food – and for that reason it will have huge resonance.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you like shopping and appreciate designer pieces, or if you liked any of the items in the bedrooms, the Boutique features inspired designs and one of a kind works. I bought the kimono robes which were beautiful and so soft.⁣⁣

Happy 4th of July!!!!!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ To start, here

Happy 4th of July!!!!!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To start, here’s a 4th pix of me brunette! lol, then to follow are videos of how I celebrate a 4 day weekend on the 4th!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
On July 4th, the United States of America celebrates its Independence Day. If you were born in America or live here now, this is the perfect occasion to celebrate our country in all its glory.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The History⁣⁣
⁣⁣
All the way back in the year 1776 on July 4th, the United States was formed. Back then there were not 50 states, but thirteen colonies that claimed their independence from Great Britain. One of the country’s founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, drafted the Declaration of Independence and the rest is history. The country grew and grew to where it is today and Jefferson would go on to be America’s third President!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The Meaning⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The historic meaning behind this amazing holiday is one of freedom and independence. It is a special time for Americans to recognize how fortunate they are to live in “the land of the free,” as it is sung in the Star Spangled Banner, the United States’ national anthem.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
How To Celebrate⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The Fourth of July is quite an exciting and spirited time in the United States! One of the biggest ways to celebrate is by watching a colorful firework display at your local park or stadium. These beautiful fireworks light up the sky with colors of red, white and blue and help make the Fourth of July celebrations memorable for the entire family.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Before the firework display however, the real fun begins! Many families will take a stroll to the beach/lake or head to the park for a mid-day barbeque. Others might find themselves entering a watermelon-eating contest or visiting a local Fourth of July parade, full of live music, cyclists and fun!⁣⁣ You must grill out! Steaks, hotdogs, festive drinks, cakes and flag looking desserts!

No matter how you celebrate today, the Fourth of July is all about spending time with family, friends and loved ones. It’s important to celebrate your country’s Independence Day and recognize the significance of your culture and its history. Just make sure it’s full of family, fun and fireworks!⁣⁣

My coffee-addict self could not live without a sta

My coffee-addict self could not live without a station at home! Here are a few tips👇⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Make it fun!!! I constantly change mine up and I keep a coffee station in all our guest rooms, both kitchens and downstairs basement. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The first thing I do every morning is turn on my coffee maker – I can’t wait for that first cup of coffee. I have a small coffee station set up on my kitchen counter. All the ingredients for a savory cup of coffee are right at my fingertips!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Coffee bars are becoming a staple in homes today. Big and small, simple and elaborate, the possibilities are endless. You can DIY and create a custom coffee niche in your home that will be a great place to start your day or spend an afternoon with friends.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Notice what you love about top trending coffee station ideas and find one to spark your imagination!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Your coffee bar essentials should be stylish and functional, which is ideal for any coffee connoisseur.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Let’s get down to basics. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
A cabinet is necessary for any coffee corner. This is your base for all things from the coffee pot to the sugar.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Have a mug collection and not sure how to show it off? Now is the time! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Coffee and pastries are a match made in heaven, so don’t forget to your serveware!!! A cake stand and serving tray for starters!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Make clutter a thing of the past with a canister se. A storage option is great for organizing all of the essentials on your coffee bar!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Last but certainly not least, is a letter board! Bring your coffee bar to life with a quote or saying to start your day off right. Can’t think of anything yet? That’s okay, I’m sure a cup of coffee could do the trick!⁣⁣⁣

You’ll love what I’m working on in Africa when I’m done!⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Africa represents one of the last great adventures. Only in Africa do the great herds still roam free, stalked by the magnificent predators. Africa is a vast continent, an immense landscape of incredible contrasts, from beaches to mountains, deserts to wetlands, and mountains to endless open savannah.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You can meet people whose way of life has not changed in centuries, and witness wildlife spectacles that have followed ancient rhythms for millennia. Africa of the great national parks and private concessions, of pristine wilderness far away from the hustle and bustle of the cities.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Places where you can disconnect from the pressure of modern life and reconnect on a deeper level with Nature and with your loved ones. An Africa of vast skies and limitless horizons, where you can feel like one of the first explorers at the same time as feeling reassuringly as though you have come home.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
African safari holidays can combine the last word in luxury and authentic hospitality with the ultimate adventure. I want you to experience the true wild places, but in comfort! Africa’s landscapes, people, wildlife and cultures await you.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It can be hard to convey in words and pictures just what is so SPELLBOUNDING about Africa. It has to be seen, felt, experienced to be understood and believed. You cannot cram so many wonders into a photo frame or a few lines of text. Africa has a unique rhythm that cannot really be explained until you have experienced it at first hand. Once you have been to Africa, we are sure you will want to return.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Safari areas are most usually accessed by air travel through tourist hubs and are typically very far from political and population centres, making these remote areas even safer.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Why not make your next holiday an African holiday, whether it is to celebrate a special occasion in the family, or to join in the celebration of life that is the true African safari experience!⁣⁣⁣

⁣ Le Ritz, c'est chez moi-⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ One o

⁣ Le Ritz, c'est chez moi-⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
One of my favorite places to stay when in Paris is the luxury Ritz Paris! ⁣
⁣
First-THANK YOU Ritz Paris!!! They take SUCH fabulous care of me each visit, from having a fab cocktail at my arrival to putting me the most famous suites to having me test different gourmet foods in their L'Espadon Restaurant, the L'Espadon is a 2 Michelin Starred top table restaurant.⁣⁣⁣
⁣
I’d LOVE to live here as Coco Chanel once did back in 1937!⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The Ritz is located on the swanky Place Vendome in the city’s First Arrondissement. Originally an 18th century private palace, it now boasts 142 rooms, 71 suites, the world’s first Chanel spa, underground ballroom, several restaurants and bars, plus more. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The exclusive Prestigious suites are named after some of the 5-star hotel’s illustrious former guests such as Coco Chanel, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Marcel Proust; not to mention a suite named after the owner himself, Cesar Ritz, including a portrait of him watching over his beloved hotel.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
A legendary property with a storied history, the Ritz Paris has defined Parisian opulence for decades — its distinguished front entrance on the Place Vendome has welcomed the likes of Marcel Proust, Coco Chanel, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
While it’s easy to imagine the grandeur of its heyday, the Ritz remains pertinent today. Its palatial interiors convey an inimitable sense of luxury that feels classically Parisian, without pretense, and its doting service is renowned for its personalization and perception. No matter your reason for visiting, don’t leave without stopping by Bar Hemingway for a signature cocktail from Colin Field.⁣⁣⁣

Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed

Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed… I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.⁣
⁣
Imagine it: a balmy summer evening in a small piazza in the center of Rome, where you indulge in fresh seafood dishes with your friends or loved one.⁣
⁣
That’s exactly what’s in store for you if you reserve a table at the famous Pierluigi restaurant sitting on Piazza dei Ricci.⁣
⁣
Rome is packed with restaurants around every corner. PIERLUIGI is one of our favorites! ⁣
PIERLUIGI is a posh trattoria with star credentials in Rome Centro! ⁣
⁣
If you were visiting a well-heeled, globetrotting uncle with a pied à terre somewhere near Piazza Navona (you are?), he’d probably take you to Pierluigi. ⁣
⁣
The ultimate ‘posh’ Roman trattoria, it was chosen by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan for a honeymoon dinner in May 2012, and Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry have all eaten here while in Rome on official or informal visits – it’s that kind of place. ⁣
⁣
Occupying one side of pretty, cobbled piazza, it’s a delightful venue for an al-fresco lunch, and could very well rest on its comfortable laurels. But, impressively, it doesn’t. ⁣
⁣
A 2010 makeover piloted by long-time owner Lorenzo Lisi gave Pierluigi a jewel of a cocktail bar, one of the few true examples of the genre in any Roman restaurant, and the hiring of dynamic young chef Davide Cianetti in 2014 upped the game in the kitchen.⁣
⁣
His approach is to use the freshest ingredients on a menu that pairs Pierluigi classics such as beef fillet with lemon – slow-cooked for 24 hours and served in carpaccio-thin slices – with more creative forays including orecchiette with turnip greens, cuttlefish ragout and taralli crisps. ⁣
⁣
Fresh raw seafood features prominently among starters – match it with a mixed salad with fresh pears, pecorino cheese and pomegranates – a pretty, Impressionist canvas for the ultimate supermodel lunch!⁣

“Statement piece,” what is it and why has the

“Statement piece,” what is it and why has the term taken over the fashion world? ⁣⁣
⁣
Statement jewelry is unique and bold and helps the wearer portray who they are through their outward appearance. ⁣
⁣
Confidence is a woman’s best accessory and your statement piece should give you that. It should make you feel confident and happy.⁣
⁣⁣
Style is creating a positively reinforcing feedback loop between the way we feel and the way we look. It connects our inner thoughts and feelings to the story we tell to the rest of the world.⁣
⁣⁣
You can have a specific trademark piece that you wear all the time or you can have a few different ones for different outfits. When choosing a statement piece make sure it makes you feel positive about yourself. It will communicate to others and yourself whether you intend it to or not, so choose wisely. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
