Being a huge fan of lobster and especially having the craving for it the past several weeks now I couldn’t resist checking out the famous @cousinsmainelobster food truck this past weekend at Amelia Earhart Park and trying out some of their tasty menu items! 🤤 • • • If you haven’t heard of @cousinsmainelobster they are two cousins that launched mobile food trucks and restaurants throughout 45 cities that serves fresh wild caught Maine lobster in different ways from rolls to tacos to quesadillas and much more! They have been featured on @sharktankabc along with @foodnetwork @todayshow @goodmorningamerica & @masterchefonfox so you know their food is pretty good and that they are the real deal! 😏 • • • Here is what I ate: 🦞 Maine Lobster Roll 🦞 Lobster Bisque 🦞 Lobster Tots 🍰 Red Velvet Whoopie Pie • • • Everything that I ate was incredible and I highly recommend it if you’re a huge lobster lover like me! If you want to try them out you can actually download the @cousinsmainelobster app and see when they will be in the nearest city near you and place your order online to skip the wait! I really hope you guys can check them out because I was truly impressed! 🤩 • • • P.S.

Treating myself this Friday afternoon to some mini croissants & an iced Pistachio Latte from my new favorite cafe @vanilla.espresso ! 😋 I had previously tried their Chistorras & Swiss Cheese mini croissant and loved it so much that I just had to order it again 😅🙈 • • • This time around I also got to try their Salmon Avocado and Guava & Cream Cheese mini croissants which are an absolute must and some of the tastiest 🥐 I’ve ever had! You seriously can’t go wrong with any of their desserts, coffees, or pastries! Up to now I am super impressed and I think I may have found my new favorite local cafe/coffee shop! 😌 • • • Which one(s) would you try? Let me know in the comments down below👇🏻 • • • P.S.

{AD} Happy International Cat Day!!! 🐱🐈 As a busy cat owner one of the main challenges that I have faced in the past from owning two cats is having to clean and deal with litter ending up all over my living room due to the standard litter box that I owned at the time which had an open top where my cats would previously jump out and make a huge mess on my floor 😑 • • • Luckily, a few months ago I came to find out about @thegratelitterbox through a Pet Trends Event that I attended and it has definitely made a huge difference in my home! Not only did my cats get adjusted to it fairly quickly but since this litter box included a lid they were not able to jump out and spill litter all over the floor therefore it has helped me maintain a cleaner floor for the past few months! 🙌🏻 • • • One of the cool features about it is that it has a green tray which picks up litter stuck on the cats paws before they exit the box along with windows so air can circulate and cats can look out while doing their business 😅 and since it also includes a lid that sign helps with odor control whereas other regular litter boxes do not offer that so that is definitely a huge plus! 🙏🏼 • • • So if you’re a cat owner and are looking for a budget friendly litter box that is better than the standard typical open litter boxes then I highly recommend trying out @thegratelitterbox ! ✅ • • • If your a proud 🐈 owner let me know in the comments down below!👇🏻 Wishing everyone a very Happy International Cat Day once again! 🎉 • • • #ad #sponsored #internationalcatday #catday #petinfluencer #petsagram #petsofinstagram #petowner #pets #petbrand #petbrands #healthypetlifestyle #petmarketing #petproducts #litterboxes #thegratelitterbox #catsagram #catlover #catowner #cats #felinefriends #furkids #miamiinfluencer #miamiblogger #miamimomblogger #southfloridablogger #floridablogger #miamiflorida

A month ago today 💕 We had our maternity session with @famedphotos at the beautiful Bill Baggs Cape Florida Lighthouse in Key Biscayne and let me just say that I was so happy with the end result! 😍 I have to admit it wasn’t easy taking photos with a two year old but we were able to do it and managed to get through the session all thanks to our awesome photographer! 📸 • • • I highly recommend @famedphotos if you’re looking for an amazing team of South Florida photographers for your next wedding, maternity, family, or engagement session! They were super patient and professional with us and the photos truly came out beautiful! 🥹 I definitely would use their services again and I give them a 10/10!!! • • • #maternitysession #maternityphotoshoot #familyphotosession #coupleshoot #couplesofinstagram #matchingfamily #famedphotos #miamiphotographers #familyofthree #soontobefamilyof4 #familyoffour #preggostyle #comingjuly2023 #julybaby #momsofinsta #motherhoodjourney #pregnancyjourney #momadventures #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #miamiinfluencer #miamiblogger #southfloridablogger #floridablogger #keybiscayne #billbaggsstatepark #capefloridalighthouse #miamifl #miamiflorida #southflorida
