Florida Vacations with Tripping.com

Beach Must Haves with Tripping.com

and Florida Rentals

Once Spring hits the first thing on my mind is that beach season has started.  Sandy toes, warm waters, and a cold beverage are some of the things I look forward to.  Like most of us, I usually have a routine and some must have items before venturing to the beach.  

Most important is a big comfortable beach blanket.  Warm sand can feel great between the toes, but laying on it and getting it in other crevices can be uncomfortable.  Next is music whether it be with headphones or a portable speaker.  Not only can it be used for personal relaxation, but turn up the tunes and the party is at your beach site.  If you're not up for a party scene, then make sure to grab the picnic basket and that book that you've been slowly reading for the past month.  The beach is a great place to unwind to wine, food, and a good book.

Look to Tripping.com and their Florida vacation rentals page for inspiration on your next getaway.  Although I enjoy hotels, I prefer an entire rental to myself.  Something about staying in a rental makes it feel more like home rather than a short vacation that ends all too soon.  Maybe it's BBQing on the balcony, lounging on a soft sofa after a long beach day, or gathering the friends and family around the fireplace at the end of the night--a beautiful rental can't be beat.

Woodzee in Aruba

Woodzee in Aruba

Summer is travel season and Woodzee joined me on my latest adventure to Aruba.  A tiny island above Colombia and Venezuela, Aruba is the perfect year round get away for anyone searching for beach and sun.  With a mix of beautiful beaches, luxury hotels, local hospitality, and high-end shopping, there's a little bit for everyone.  Mostly everyone speaks English, but if you're like me then you take any opportunity to practice Spanish because although the national language is Dutch, most everyone speaks all three languages.

Woodzee is a California based brand that embodies the California free spirit.  Started by a scrappy group looking to offer customers a new way to shop and create products that combine Style and Nature, they have not detoured from that mission and still remain a small and close knit team.

Pride, passion, and customer service are at the forefront of the Woodzee brand.  This is evident in there discounts offered to students and the Recycle Program which offers 40% off your next pair of sunglasses.  Inspired by California's forests and coastlines, the sunglasses are updates on the traditional styles.  Wood frames add a rugged and utilitarian feel that make these sunglasses meant to be worn and adventured in.  With every scratch, stain, and sun-fade, there will be a story to be told with your Woodzee sunglasses.

Gift Guide

Scents

Tommy Bahama St. Kitts

Refreshing and relaxing at its core, a zesty blend of kaffir lime, juicy mandarin and tropical star fruit paired with cedar wood, fresh sea salt and a watery accord, create an invigorating woody scent reminiscent of the sea breeze. The fragrance is rounded out with driftwood, ambergris and creamy musk adding a salt swept warming effect like suntanned skin after a day in the sun.

Vince Camuto Eterno

Inspired by the modern day gentleman, the scent captures the essence of the Mediterranean and masculinity. It is crafted with fresh top notes of citrus and mint, rounded out by a refined, peppery mix of bourbon and saffron, and a heart of earthy patchouli and cedar wood. Echoing the ethos of the Eterno Man, the packaging of the fragrance is both bold and confident, sealed with the Vince Camuto signature crest medallion, representing the brand’s commitment to excellence, enduring strength and family heritage.
