I'm just going to say it...you don't nee alcohol to have the best time ever on New Year's Eve. In 2017 a study was done that concluded that 40% of deadly crashes involve drunk drivers, and more pedestrians are killed on NYE and NYD than any other day of the year. I'm not trying to scare, but trying to encourage you to be smart & safe during your plans for the New Year. Here are 3 NYE alternatives that ensure you still have a great time with your friends.

Being a Florida native has always been one of my pride and joys, but I really didn’t know that about myself until I moved 2 states away. Tampa, specifically was my hometown for 22 years, so needless to say… I’ve seen this city go through it’s foodie highs and lows -- remember when we had 17 fro-yo places? Yeah, me too, still weird to me. ANYWAYS, I’ve decided to start a cute little series called “Let Me Order for You”! Consider it my restaurant suggestions to you if you were to ever spend 24-hours in a city. And today we’re talking about the city of Tampa! **Disclaimer… I realize that it is unrealistic for anyone to eat this much food, but I wanted to get my all my two-cents in** Anyways! Let’s begin! MORNING TEA/COFFEE: The Lab or Foundation or King State or Buddy Brew. I truly cannot decide, and that is okay with me. Options are our friend. BREAKFAST: Oxford Exchange. This place is overpriced for sure, but it’s an EXPERIENCE. Everything is so perfectly crafted and the instagram-worthy content you’ll get around every corner is worth it to most. This place is boujee and grand, and I genuinely think you need to eat here, or just walk into the building. BRUNCH (or what the Hobbits call “second breakfast”): Daily Eats. I literally have never had a bad meal here. If you like tater tots, get the tater hater as an app to share. For my entree, I usually get the buffalo chicken rice bowl and it’s very yummy, but again, I’ve never had anything that I wish I never ordered. *also weird side-note: they have unique milkshakes, so that could be fun.* Or you can go to Datz -- american food done unique, but oh, so right. LUNCH: Capital Taco. Try a bunch of different tacos & make sure you get the chips and queso, I’m getting physically distraught right now knowing I won’t be able to have them anytime soon. Or hit up Armature Works. This place isn’t actually a place… well it is, but it’s basically a redone train station that now has a bunch of restaurants inside of it and a large open room for seating! This place is super aesthetic, intentional and has a lot of options. AFTERNOON PICK-ME-UP: Blind Tiger Cafe (Ybor location) for coffee & then hop over to Hyppo (Ybor location) right down the street for gourmet popsicles and very friendly service. DINNER: Berns Steakhouse is quite literally world-renowned, so order whatever you want. Also it’s fancy and very expensive… just letting you know. And if you’re not feeling that, I suggest Roux for a well done french-cajun-southern meal, Ulele for visually appealing, fusion food, or Columbia Restaurant to get authentic Spanish and Cuban dishes, this place is a Tampa tradition. DESSERT: Literally after you get a steak at Berns, go upstairs to the Berns Dessert Room -- the Bananas Foster is life-changing. And if you don’t want to go to the same place, try Wright’s Gourmet House. I promise you will not be disappointed. LATE NIGHT SNACK: Jeremiah’s. Some people will say Bahama Bucks is better, but those people are wrong. Cookie butter is my favorite flavor. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about some of my fave Tampa spots! If I missed some of your favorite places, let me know in the comments below! & if you ever have a friend traveling to Tampa and asking for food recommendations, use this as a friendly, little guide!
I do not get my hair done, like the most I ever get done is a 3-4 inch chop every year, so I am definitely no expert to talk about this! BUT I knew that haircare and going to the salon are things everyone has to do and a topic most people can relate to. SO, I asked my friend Mel, who is a hairstylist, if she could give me at least 3 tips for people to know, and BOY -- she gave me more than that! She dished out tea that you wish you would have known sooner and she literally wrote this whole entire blog & for that, I am thankful! |

It's hard to figure out what to get people during the holidays, but I've created this quick gift guide for you (and for me, let’s be real - lol)! Each guide will have a set of 10 items ranging from “very affordable” to “splurge worthy”. I’m not going to be fancy and explain why you need these things or tell you what these items have meant in my life (you're welcome)… the goal is for you to be inspired and feel a little less stressed during this busy holiday season.
