Stay Cool at the Pool – WTR Tampa Review

October 20, 2018 3 Comments

In Tampa, summer never really ends. Fall is a concept we don’t get behind. So, on a Wednesday afternoon mid-October, you’re more likely to find me at a pool drinking an Instagrammable drink than at a pumpkin patch. If you’re looking for the poolside evening of your dreams, whether a Tampa native or just here on vacation, head to WTR Pool & Grill in Tampa, attached to the beautiful and modern Godfrey Hotel. Who needs to go to Miami when the perfect resort style pool is right here in Tampa? Read on to hear about the amazing drinks, food, and views.

Scream-a-Geddon 2018 Review – Dade City, FL Horror Park

October 14, 2018 No Comments

Fall is upon us and that means all the cute fall activities are in full swing, from pumpkin patches to apple orchards and everything in between. It is also spooky season so it’s time to buy those passes to Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney World, and more. One that is newer but definitely worth checking out is Dade City’s horror park, Scream-a-Geddon.

This post is able to be brought to you by Yelp Tampa Bay! If they had not hosted this event for Yelp Elite, I wouldn’t have ever heard of Scream-a-Geddon. My friend and I were given free VIP passes as well as one round of zombie paintball.

Read on to find our review what we loved (and what we hated) about Scream-a-Geddon 2018.

Note: Updated 9/30/18

I don’t know about y’all, but I LOVE hauls. There’s just something super interesting (and maybe a bit intrusive) about watching or reading about what people are buying.

When it comes to Amazon, there are thousands of items to choose from. So, how’s one to know what to get? What’s worth it and what should you skip?

You can read ahead to see what is in my cart for September – but you can also click this link below to find out not only the items I’ve bought and LOVED but the items that are on my wishlist.

3 Days in Philadelphia, PA

September 9, 2018 No Comments

Hello everyone! These city guides can take a while for me to get written and up for y’all! I just want to make sure the content quality is on point and that you can really benefit from my guides. So, as usual, these are all of the things I ate, coffee I drank, and places I went in three days in Philadelphia. I spent quite a bit of the weekend at my friend’s house so you could probably do even more in three days if you were staying downtown!

I will also include all the places I didn’t go to but found in my search of the best things to do in the city.

As well, here is a YouTube video of my trip!
