Up this morning like: it feels good to be back to myself. It's never easy losing a love one, but I know my Dad & Brother would want me to snap out of it💪🏾 Now, where did I leave off before my brother passed? Ooooh yeah that's right, I was just about to take over Miami Beach💪🏾 Well, let's get back to it!
Field journal 📔 ID: Serenoa repens Common name: saw palmetto 🌴 Not to be confused with sabal palmetto, whose leaves are folded in the middle instead of flattened out, the saw palmetto is an important part of Florida’s ecology. 🌴 1️⃣ Saw palmetto is one of the plants that is “most highly used by Florida wildlife,” providing for more than 300 insects, butterflies, bees, flies, and beetles. 2️⃣ Saw palmetto is an important player in the fire ecology that Florida’s habitats have adapted to. If left too long without a burn, these plants can become a severe fire hazard. However, when fire is included in the land management, saw palmettos thrive and are some of the first plants that pop up from the ground just days after a fire. 3️⃣ Saw palmetto can live to be more than 2,000 years old. 4️⃣ Saw palmetto is a very hardy plant—it can grow in almost any lighting condition and is drought-tolerant and salt-tolerant, meaning it can be found in almost any habitat in Florida (as long as it’s not too submerged in moist soil). 5️⃣ The ethnobotanical uses of saw palmetto are numerous, with the leaves being used for thatched roofs, mats, and baskets. 🌴 *Some argue that palm trees are not technically “trees” and are instead grasses because their trunk is fibrous rather than woody. 🌱 💚 🌴 #explorida #roamflorida #florida #flstofmind #floridaliving #florida_greatshots #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #monroecounty #sawpalmetto #serenoarepens #palmtree #floridakeys #nature #naturelovers #getoutdoorsfl #southflorida #curryhammockstatepark @visitflorida @thefloridakeys @lovefl (at Curry Hammock State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyfHmCOtD4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It fascinates me to visit houses where I see that each space is happily used daily. 🤩 This house is a perfect example, the living room is not a museum, it is a place where friends sing, play the piano, sit in front of the fireplace, and gather frequently!!! . A good furniture layout is a must to easily interact with each other, another must in the living room is a good size coffee table to bring appetizers and drinks to the gathering. Last but not least a warm, soft lighting and candles 🕯This to me feels like a Happy Place to be ❤️ What do you think? . . . #musictomyears #happyhomes #music #love #laugh #appetizers #wine #🍷❤️ #interiordesign #homestylist #homedecor #homesweethome #interiorarchitect #interiordesigner #interiorista #maitegranda #maitegrandainteriors #miami #nyc #thefloridakeys #naplesflorida #ocalaflorida #instastyle #photoshoot @mattiabettinelliph #milano🇮🇹 #miami🌴 (at Coral Gables, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7GPdDpA1mN/?igshid=tfrofjoegpvz
“Copy Cat Cloud” On our way out to Alligator Reef with @blueheavencharter I noticed that there was a huge cloud shaped like the lighthouse right above it.

Could not be happier that pool season has finally arrived!!!! ☀️💦 Spending a week in @thefloridakeys with my @babes_thatwander is just what I needed. Although it is technically work, it feels so great to step away from the screens and enjoy life. More to come! #reconnectinthekeys 👙by @bromelia_swimwear ✨SIZE UP✨ I’m usually XS/S & wearing a Medium. 📸 by @greta_hollar at the @southernmostbeachresort Tranquility Pool 😌 (at Key West, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdHanf8sxNd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
