A few snaps from the last three amazing days at Fairmont Mayakoba with my bestie. We lounged by the beautiful pools, explored the mangroves, and soaked up the sun on the white sand beaches. It was the perfect mix of relaxation, delicious food, and endless laughs – truly a dreamy girls getaway.

#SponsoredByDisney To celebrate a successful school year, we planned a full Disney on Broadway magical itinerary. @disneyonbroadway! First we headed up to Times Square, taking the subway is an experience in itself. We stopped at the Museum of Broadway and then we headed to @thelionking. We loved this show so much, the music and costumes are always so iconic! After the show, we made our way to the Disney store and then the TKTS red steps to take in the lights of Times Square. If you’re in the city and need a magical activity, head to the link in my bio to get tickets for The Lion King on Broadway!

Looking for a NYC beach staycation?! 🌊☀️Last week, the girls and I boarded the #NYC Ferry from Wall Street and arrived at @therockawayhotel. The hotel was such a vibe—and we had the most amazing bungalow suite. We spent the next two days between the beach and pool, had dinner on the rooftop and caught the most gorgeous sunset. It was truly the most perfect NYC beach staycation and I highly recommend you add this to your bucket list this summer!

My must-have for staying cool and hydrated all day long? 💦💦

@Hint has 0 sugar, 0 sweeteners, 0 calories and so much flavor. I picked up all my fav flavors at @Target and made sure my fridge and cooler are stocked with a full hydration station for my family to keep cool all season long.

Checking off my summer bucket list and keeping my wellness on point 🌞✨ I used to deal with frequent heartburn that would keep me from fully enjoying travel plans and beach days. But @nexium24HR_us has truly been a game changer! Now, with just one pill a day for 14 days, I can start seeing results in as little as 1–3 days. Since I was experiencing heartburn symptoms more than twice a week, this preventative approach has made such a difference. Nexium® 24HR doesn’t just treat—it helps prevent frequent heartburn before it even starts, so I don’t have to miss a thing. 🙌

Let’s do a get un-ready with me! Last week, I attended the @LifetimeTV premiere of Pretty Hurts, brought to you by GSK. Airing Saturday, June 28th at 8/7c on Lifetime, this movie is about a high school senior who enters a beauty pageant to win scholarship money for college, when her friend suddenly contracts meningococcal disease, known as meningitis, an uncommon but potentially serious illness, prompting her to use her platform for awareness.

As a mom in the #Ask2BSure Mom Community, I’m proud to share this important message, in hopes that you #Ask2BSure about meningitis risks and vaccination at your teen’s next doctor’s visit. You can learn more at Ask2BSure.com

#ad Today I’m getting creative with my daughter’s camp labels with the help of @cricut EasyPress Mini. I have been obsessed with Cricut machines and the Cricut Heat Press is making all of my labeling not only simpler but the process is actually really fun. This is typically a mundane task that has to get done but ever since I’ve played around with the Heat Press, I have been looking for more labels to get to personalize and be crafty with. Excited to share that from June 8th-21st, you can shop all Cricut Heat Presses for up to 70% off! 🔥 I love how these turned out and will be using this all summer long to have a fun and creative way to keep my family organized. 💬 Comment CRICUT below and I’ll DM you all the details!

Summer is here and we’ve been looking for ways to keep cool while getting essential nutrients for the warm season. 🍧The kids are outside all day in the summers and having a treat that not only cools them down but fills them up is something I’ve been working on perfecting. We’ve made the most amazing popsicles using @LifewayKefir in the Strawberry flavor as the base of the mixture and adding in blueberries and fresh strawberries to blend and put into popsicle molds. Kefir is full of gut healthy probiotics and is the perfect snack for the whole family. Recipe below!

Recipe:
1 cup sliced strawberries and blueberries (can use whatever fruit you like)
2 1/2 cups Lowfat Strawberry Kefir
1 tbsp. maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Mix ingredients, add to your favorite popsicle molds, and freeze overnight or at least 6-8 hours! Enjoy!
