Jamberry Nails

I’m a nail and cuticle bitter – it’s ironic as I’ve always been conscious of how I dress and represent myself publicly. As everything else that’s recently been featured on my blog, my cousin introduced me to Jamberry Nails – she was hosting a party on the site and suggested I buy some of the products. […]

Honu

Remember that marine life I mentioned? The best of all the animals were the sea turtles!  Sea Turtles, also known as Honu, were everywhere at the Resort. These turtles were incredibly friendly. We weren’t allowed to touch them but we were able to get very close. I only went in the water once and I […]

I, Gabriela Monsanto, have single-handedly found the best dairy free ice cream available – don’t worry, you can thank me later.

Birkenstock

 Birkenstock When I was growing up there was a running joke that girls on Long Island had a uniform. That uniform consisted of some type of Birkenstock, So-Low or Hard-Tail pants and a North face fleece or jacket. Fast forward 10 years later, and Birkenstocks are fashionable.  To say I was shocked is an understatement.  […]
