Happy Monday lovelies!

It's been a few weeks since I've been back on American soil from my week long vacation in the Dominican Republic. Well I'm sort of back at it. At first I was struggling to get on track with normalcy, being it was my first time out of the country for an extended period of time. I must say it was an absolute unique experience to be pushed out of my comfort zone. Just months ago I kicked off my first airplane trip and here I am traveling internationally. Yo girl is finally broaden her horizons! Yes indeed, I'm learning so much more about myself and the world around me.

The more traveling you do, the more you're exposed to new cultures and different perspectives of life. It can be wildly fulfilling depending on why you choose your destination and who will accompany you. Both are major factors on your journey of adventure. It's all about creating and collecting as many great memories as you can.

I enjoyed my week long all inclusive stay at the Hotel Riu Republica in Punta Cana. The service was great and we had many dining options throughout the resort each day/night. The beach view was incredible and overall everything was breathtaking. I'm so thankful for having the opportunity to travel more this year than ever...so ready to plot my next adventure.

Until next time...I hope you enjoy the pics!

GIRLS TRIP + LIFE CELEBRATION PARADISE VEGAS

Dress - IKandy Fashion & Accessories

Hello peeps & happy first day of May!

Sorry if I've been a way for too long, but I'm back at it.. So let me recap what has transpired in Che Che's world. I finally took my first plane flight and girls trip across the coast. Also celebrated 37 years of life in Vegas. YES, all of that!

April was a great month for me. This trip alone is one of the top highlights of my life, not just 2018. There were a lot of firsts for me. For starters I'm sure I'm not the only one who is terrified of heights. Until I finally realized I'll probably never experience the things I dreamed of until I conquered that fear. So glad I did! Having dear friends to guide me through the entire process made the experience mind-easing and pleasurable. I'm grateful to have them by my side for many reasons but this one was special and will be forever treasured.

I was instantly captivated by the beautiful adventurous scenery. Needless to say there wasn't much of eye-shutting time but the fantastic site seeing, food exploring and turning it up for my birthday was well worth sleep deprivation. I would love to go into all the details but as the saying goes,"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Besides pictures tell better stories and I can share those with you.

I had a wonderful time creating memories with these incredible women and I'm so ready for our next girls trip. Friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold.

So the big kid in me couldn't resist capturing a shot with this Greek Mythical statue, Pegasus (well that's what it put me in the mind of) the flying horse. In a way it inspired/reminded me to continue to take leaps of faith in life to fly even higher.

Your wings already exist. All you have to do is fly!

Happy thoughts and many blessings!

A PERFECT WEEKEND IN SAVANNAH

Hey Guys,

I've been a little off schedule the past few weeks considering a few major events that took place and now I'm playing catch up. Oh how I love Savannah, Georgia! It's been a few years since I last visited before traveling there recently. Savannah never lets me down, it seems to get better and better each time. That, or either I was just extremely elated to get away...

Well most importantly this was a no work, strictly fun trip to relax and celebrate a special friend's birthday. We had an eventful fun-filled day out on the town and I hated it had to come to an end (as I reminisced about those girls trips years ago) but there will always be a next time.

Life is a canvas, now paint away.

There are countless options of food stops to choose from but I had a chance to dine in at Hueys, on River Street. Great food and atmosphere, I must say!

I'm not gonna lie, I was a little perturbed about this Slow Ride when I noticed it doesn't operate by modern day engine. However I pushed my own selfish reasons aside to not be a party pooper and I'm glad I did. It was different and I actually had so much fun clowning around with everyone as we put feet to the pedal.

Happy thoughts & many blessings!

XO, Che Che
