During my stay at Azul Beach Hotel {by Karisma} in the Mayan Riviera, I was fortunate to stay in the newly renovated 900 block. The delightful and decadent suite that I called home was the Family Swim-Up Suite, generous in size at 711 square feet. Not only is it a remarkable room, but very functional {and…
I was keeping a very juicy secret this past month, and I’m thrilled to finally be able to share! *big sigh* I was IN a FLASH MOB! {all caps means I’m screaming with excitement!}. During my time in New York City for the BlogHer ’12 Conference, I was in the Master Moves Mickey Flash Mob…
