spring
What a week... and it's only Tuesday! Thankfully, it is at least spring and the warm weather is back for good, so I can break out my seersucker dresses on the reg. I'm lovin' this one Lauren James sent me - it's one of the comfiest dresses I own. The light fabric is perfect for breezy, sunny Florida days. And the best part? It has pockets! Pretty sure every dress ever made should have them, tbh.

If you're spending a day at the parks, it's always a good idea to plan ahead and bring a bag with everything you might need. Especially now that the weather is warming up, you want to stay hydrated + healthy during your visit!
What I bring with me to any park always depends on (1) the park, (2) the weather and (3) how long I'll be staying. If it's just a couple of hours, I'll bring a small crossbody or backpack with just the essentials. However, if I'm planning on staying from rope drop to fireworks, I'll bring a larger backpack with a change of clothes (comfy t-shirt and running shorts!), my camera, a phone charger, and some snacks! But really, snacks are the most important, am I right?
Nothing is worse than getting hangry while waiting in line. Take a much needed break with a healthy snack. Pure Growth Organic snacks (sold at Amazon and Walmart), are the perfect treats to toss in your bag for the day. My favorite is the white cheddar popcorn - so yummy! Not to mention, Pure Growth Organic snacks are made with organic ingredients with no artificial colors or flavors, no preservatives and 0g of trans-fat. And, for my gluten-free friends, there's even snack options for you, too!
Whether you have a bit of a sweet tooth or prefer saltier snacks like me, there's tons of healthy options that don't make you feel guilty about eating them, but are still delicious. Pure Growth Organic snacks offer everything from animal crackers to popcorn and pretzels, or if you can't decide, they have a snack mix, too. They also offer super healthy options in the form of veggie chips. And, if you're on the go early, grab one of their chocolate banana breakfast bars to start the day!
You can find these sweet and salty made-in-the-USA organic snacks online at Amazon or in-store and online at Walmart. And, while you're at it, check out Pure Growth Organic on Facebook and Instagram, too.

outfits
spring
My style is always evolving. If there's one thing certain, it's that it's always, always blissfully authentic to me in that moment. I love going rogue and trying out new things, albeit a pair of suede peep toe ankle booties, a gorgeous green leather bag or a retro-inspired floral mini dress... all for a spring day out! And, not to mention, this is my all-time favorite look on Lucky Day...ever!! I totally bought this dress on a whim (ok... impulse buy, same thing), but I'm so glad I did. It just gives me all the 70s-boho style vibes a la Mandy Moore in This Is Us, minus the dramatics.
Going rogue always leads me to find life's best adventures, whether it be in style or just life in general. I've been trying to step outside my box a little bit this year and be a bit more spontaneous (I'm a textbook planner by default), and I've found that it makes life way more fun! Not to say that you shouldn't plan, but every once in a while, being up for change can be so good too.

Living in the middle of a tourist area has its ups and downs. Upside is that Disney World is five minutes away. The downside? Traffic and lack of restaurants that aren't franchises. That's where Bartaco comes in - it's a local hidden gem that I can't wait to get back to!
Located in the Dr. Phillips area, Bartaco is definitely one of my new go-to's. Not only does it have the most eclectic, charming atmosphere, the food is so different and yummy! While it's more Mexican-inspired, the tacos are all a la carte so you can sample whichever tacos your heart so desires, including the #bartacosecret menu taco - the short rib taco! It was my absolute favorite.
They also have a special secret drink too - Chai Mezcalita (smoky mezcal, bartaco branded Libélula tequila, house-made chai syrup, fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and star anise garnish). While I'm more of a traditional lime marg kinda gal, the flavors were so vibrant and unique!
If you're in the Orlando area, or are planning a trip here anytime soon, definitely check this place out!
Thanks to Mili and Hannah at Bartaco Orlando for having us!
