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.

Master & Dynamic: 

The Modern Thinking Cap

A commitment to not just style but also quality, New York based Master & Dynamic is a premium audio company obsessed with sound and creativity.  We joined them for a night at Kinfolk 90 in Brooklyn.

Whether traveling, sitting in a coffee shop, or taking the train home, it's hard not to see everyone lost in their own world.  Head down in our phones and headphones providing a little escape from the outside world, it's the only control we have in a world filled with distractions.  However there's a big difference between listening to your favorite Taylor Swift record on generic headphones and experiencing the music as the artist intended. 

Master & Dynamic engineered their products with heavy-duty materials such as fine leather and stainless steel.  Their headphones weren't made to slam you with bass or drown you in treble, rather it's the perfect balance of a natural, detailed live sound signature.  The tuning was designed to complement a diversity of tastes and music genres.  With easily replaceable parts, these may be the last pair of headphones you ever buy.

True to their New York roots and commitment to supporting the creative community, Master & Dynamic partnered with Harlem Village Academies (HVA) High, a public charter school in Harlem and part of the five-school HVA network (read more here).  With a recent contribution of $105,000, Master & Dynamic are proud to sponsor the arts and invest in the next generation of creatives.

The listening stations at the Kinfolk 90 event gave attendees the opportunity to get hands on with the MH30 and MH40.  After a ten minute conversation about the products with who I thought was a product representative turned out to be Mr. Levine (founder and CEO) himself.  Humble and hilarious, it was nice talking about the products honestly and openly not knowing who he was.  To speak to the type of person he was, he dropped off a box of pizza at our table from the food truck outside.
