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.

I, Gabriela Monsanto, have single-handedly found the best dairy free ice cream available – don’t worry, you can thank me later. Whenever I venture home to Long Island I am desperate to find good dairy free desserts. In New York City I have my designated vegan dessert locales. Unfortunately, Long Island is not as advanced […]

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.  […]

Summer Lovin'

White Dress: Splendid, White Sleeveless Dress: Loft, Grey Dress: Old Navy I had seen this Splendid dress on a number of blogger’s wish-lists.  I, like the others, was lusting after it myself but didn’t want to spend the hefty price tag for a jersey dress.
