Taking a Bath has been one of my favorite self-car

Taking a Bath has been one of my favorite self-care rituals that I picked up in 2020! It honestly helped me get through the lockdown and being stuck at home because it's a great way to simultaneously destress and detoxify.
ON THE BLOG, I'm sharing 6 Easy Steps to Create a Luxurious Spa at Home for Mother's Day and some of my favorite products to use during bath time. Tap the link in bio to read more!

We're at the tail end of our PR content and ohh my, it's been a ride. I'm sharing more on Steps Beach on the blog today. You shouldn't visit Puerto Rico and limit your stay to just San Juan. It doesn't capture the full essence of the Island. I'd highly recommend paying a visit to Rincon on the West Coast. With a myriad of gorgeous beaches all within driving distance and amazing fresh local food, this town has something for everyone. Steps Beach is known as THE place to go snorkeling. Read up why on my lastest Blog Post (link in bio) 🏊🏾.

If you head to the West coast of Puerto Rico, you'll find an amazing surf town called Rincon. If you haven't heard of it, it's because the pro surfer's like to keep it on the hush hush. But if you're no pro surfer like me, you'll also find Steps Beach in Rincon. It's known for being one of the best beaches for snorkeling and you'll see beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish right off the shore.
I'll share more on Steps beach in a blog post tomorrow. But for now, this is me enjoying this random swing on the beach that gives you the perfect view of the ocean.

Beach week continues! Survival beach is a stunning

Beach week continues! Survival beach is a stunning beach in the town of Aguadilla, PR (West coast of the Island). You can only get there via a short hike past Surfer's beach and it's known for its epic rock formations along the shoreline and strong currents. It's a must-see when visiting Puerto Rico!
You can file this post under "PR Inspo" for your next PR trip and head over to my blog (link in bio 🔗) to read more about our experience at Survival Beach 🌊.

Puerto Rico has some of the most beautiful beaches

Puerto Rico has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. And this week, I'll be highlighting some of my favorites. Welcome to "Beach Week"!
In our 2 weeks in Puerto Rico, we visited over a dozen different beaches and every time I discovered a new one, it would quickly become my favorite. That is until I visited another beach the day after or that same day 🙂.
Today, I'm telling you all about Jobos Beach. A beautiful beach known for its big volcanic rock formation that has waves crashing into it creating a dramatic effect 🌊. The lagoon protected by the rocks is calm and good for swimming/sunbathing.
Head over to my blog (link in bio 🔗 ) to read more about Playa Jobos and save this post for your next trip to PR!

A lot of you, Gems, have been asking me in the comments and DMs what camera I used to capture my Puerto Rico trip. So I asked our residential photographer @maximsaidso to spill the beans on what photo and video gear he is using to create all of the amazing content for my feed. Head over to my blog (link in bio 🔗) to learn about what camera we use to shoot photos (hint, it's not Canon 😲), videos and vlogging, and also all of his favorite accessories that he likes to bring along when traveling like a tripod, spare batteries and SD cards.
Let me know if you, Gems, find this helpful and also what camera you are using to get those fire travel pics. xx

“Playa Negra” or “Black Sand Beach” in Vieques is known for it’s black volcanic sand and rust-colored cliffs. I wore a white halterneck bikini from @melissaodabash that fit with the otherworldly landscape around us and stood in stark contrast to the black sand.
ON THE BLOG, I'm sharing our full experience at Playa Negra and how to get there (link in bio 🔗).
