Hola! Bienvenido a Cancun! Welcome to my little snippet of the Paradisus Cancun Resort. To start off this all inclusive resort adventure, I’d like so say that the place is STUNNING! When you walk into the building you are overwhelmed by it’s massive size and extravagant decor. You’re surrounded by nature both inside and out. The resort includes many different restaurants, a club (with shows/ entertainment each night), and if you’re feeling adventurous, they offer fantastic excursions.  Now, let’s touch on some of my favorite restaurants; I loved the Market Grill (located outside) because they offered Brazilian food. I also liked Bluegava and their delicious tacos. **TIP: Make sure to make reservations for your dinner the day before (they are pretty busy). If you don’t feel like going out, you can order in! The best part about all-inclusive is free room service! (p.s. get the wings!).

The rooms are very spacious, relaxing, and comfortable. Some even come with bathtubs/ jacuzzi’s on the balcony. (**TIP: if you want one, make sure to request it!)

Now, let’s venture outside to the pools and the beach. The pools are a decadent combination of romance and relaxation. The water is delightful and the staff comes around to make sure you’re properly hydrated. If you are more of a sand and salt kind of person, then Cancun’s beautiful blue and incredibly clear waters are for you! The water is the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip after volleyball or laying out. The staff even brought a cooler full of cold waters and sodas to enjoy at the beach each day. They have towels and lounge chairs available at both the beach and pool area, but if you want a cabana, you’ll have to book it. (**TIP: They get booked pretty quickly so act fast!).

The only downfall in service is check out day. Once it’s past your check out time they charge for food. If you have a later flight, make sure to have eaten or order some room service to go. (**TIP: they’ll even charge for water so make sure you have a couple water bottles). They do offer temporary rooms for rent so you can shower before getting on your flight. Overall, we loved the resort. I recommend it to anyone, especially if you’re planning a honeymoon or babymoon.

Personal Rating: 4.5/5 stars

Hope you enjoy your next trip to Cancun! Have a wonderful Wednesday and safe travels!

xoxo,

City Creek Evening

After a busy week, it was great to go out and relax at one of my favorite places in Utah. The City Creek Center is a must see if you’re visiting the state! Unfortunately, it was a bit chilly so Lady and I bundled up for the evening and hurried out just in time to catch the last bit of sun. I’m in love with my coat from target because it’s super warm and really long so it feels like you’re snuggled up in a blanket. I decided to go the comfy route tonight and wore some great ankle boots and a long loose t-shirt, both from target. My maternity skinny jeans are one of my most favorite things to wear because they are really comfortable and stretchy! I’m sure many expecting moms would love them! And, to finish off my look, I wore my sun glasses from H&M and a pop of color from my new lipstick by Mac Cosmetics.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Skin Care While in the Sun

Everyone loves the sun, but no one loves what the sun does to our faces. Overtime, the sun’s ultraviolet rays damage certain fibers in the skin called elastin. The breakdown of these fibers causes the skin to sag, stretch, and lose the ability to snap back in place. The damaged skin also bruises/tears easier, and heals slower. When pregnant, our skin is much more sensitive; we become prone to hives, heat rashes, and chloasma (darkening of skin). Sun damage is not visible initially, but over time the effects become more and pronounced. That is why it’s so important to protect your skin now to prevent damage and premature aging.

Protect your skin by using a 30 spf or higher suncreen. I use two different kinds, the water proof Supergoop, for when I’m getting a workout, at the beach, or at the pool. And for my everyday use, I use the tinted Clarins. I love the tint because there are days when I only wear suncreen, and the tint makes me look like I’m wearing make-up. Both suncreens are lightweight and don’t clog pores (no breaking out!), you barely notice you have anything on your face. I also wear plenty of hats and sunglasses. The extra protection always helps! -Oh, and be sure to drink TONS of water.

Hope you find these tips useful on your next vacation! Stay beautiful and enjoy your Wednesday!
