Last week, I did something a bit out of the ordinary—I took a step back from work. No client calls during dinner or early on Sunday mornings. As much as I adore my clients, everyone needs a little break now and then, right? 😅 And what a refreshing break it was! While Florida may not boast the glamour or exoticness of far-flung locales, sometimes all you need is a short flight into the sunshine to rejuvenate 🌞✈️ Craving an easy escape? Consider the Ritz-Carlton in Naples—where luxury meets leisure. With two distinct properties to choose from, there’s a perfect spot for everyone. Golf aficionados and families will love the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort at Tiburón, complete with a water park and lazy river that the kids (and kids at heart) will adore. If beachside bliss is more your style, the Ritz-Carlton, Naples on the beach offers newly renovated elegance and cocktail service right on the sand—champagne, please! 🥂🏖️ Both locations are ideal for family vacations or reconnecting with friends who feel just like family 💕 Are you ready to swap your fleece for flip-flops? Naples is calling your name! 🌴☀️ #Naples #Florida #RitzCarlton #FamilyVacation #SpringBreak #LuxuryTravel #BonVivant

Last week I picked up my sweet girl in Honolulu and we spent a few days exploring Oahu. And, wow! What a completely different vibe than Maui 🤙 We did all the fun touristy things like surf Waikiki, visit Pearl Harbor, snap pics of Diamond Head, and head to the North Shore for the epic surf. We even had a stop at my daughters favorite store 🌈🙃 @aviatornationnorthshore We also checked out all my fave Oahu hotels @kahala_resort , @fsoahu , @royal_hawaiian , and @halekulanihotel 🌺 More on these to come! Oahu is definitely worth a stop while your visiting Hawaii 🌴

Fun fact: I was on the diving team in high school 🏊‍♀️ Another fun fact: I didn’t win many trophies (as evidenced by this video) 🏆 Really fun fact: Ok, no trophies, but I did get “hours” for locker room antics 🚭 😬
