𝔹𝕖𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕔𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕤: A true example of “𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆”. the morning of this shoot ranks pretty high up there as one of the most miserable moments of my life. My photoshoot in Tulum was supposed to take place at 9 am. Unfortunately my photographer was a half an hour late, which left me waiting in the sun and the 80+, 100% humidity heat. By the time she arrived, my makeup had practically melted off, my styled hair was no longer curly, and my hair was stuck to my neck from sweat. I think I got a mild case of heat stroke, and know of course now that I was pregnant (unknowingly at the time), which I’m sure didn’t help matters, as I was emotional, frustrated, and pissed off that I was paying someone to take photos of me at a time when I felt the MOST unattractive. By the time this photo was taken, I had nearly given up—thus the top knot hairstyle, which was strictly in an effort to get my hair off my neck and cool off a bit. To make matters worse, my phone didn’t have cell service, and I was unable to contact my friends and travel companions to let them know I was going to be late, which resulted in one of the worst fights I’ve ever had while traveling with someone. 😢 So you see, IG is certainly not real life. Behind that smile is not always sunshine and rainbows. Just remember that when your IG feed is flooded with beautiful smiling girls—24/7–and you make the mistake of comparing those smiles to what’s going on in your own life. It’s not real (a lot of the time), so cut yourself a break. 💛 📍Raw Love, Tulum, Mexico #IGisnotreallife #instagramisnotreallife #bts #behindthescenes #behindtheshot #wherecanamericanstravelnow #travelnow #tulum #mexico #tulummexico #mayanriviera #rivieramaya #travelgram #traveldiaries #travelaway #sidewalkerdaily #bloggerlife #travelblog (at Raw Love Tulum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLrgHskBbnQ/?igshid=1q050kmdgc05

A question I got often about my pandemic travel to Mexico: “Did you feel safe?” And the answer is: Yes, absolutely. The resorts and restaurants in Mexico really went above and beyond in their safety procedures. And the only people we saw not wearing their masks were the occasional American tourists, while all the locals wore their masks religiously. I obviously balanced the possible risks in deciding whether or not it was safe for ME to travel, and of course those considering travel for themselves should do the same: figure out the risks for them, as well as the people around them who could be exposed. I tested before traveling to Mexico and then again once I returned, though there was no requirement at the time for me to do so. Travel can be done safely, if done methodically and responsibly. What about you: what do you think about traveling during a pandemic? #wherecanamericanstravelnow #travelnow #cancun #mexico #cancunmexico #mayanriviera #rivieramaya #travelgram #traveldiaries #travelaway #sidewalkerdaily #bloggerlife #travelblog #travelsafely #wearyourmask #pandemictravel #safetravel #justbackfrom #travelblogger #travellife #iamtraveler #passportlife #travellifestyle #iamatraveller #travelcommunity #passportcollective (at ATELIER Playa Mujeres) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLj0KpTB3Al/?igshid=1lz6qan56ouvl

Recognize this spot?⠀ ⠀ Part IV of𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙪𝙡𝙪𝙢: ℝ𝔼𝕊𝕋𝔸𝕌ℝ𝔸ℕ𝕋 𝔼𝔻𝕀𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ is actually a repeat—this spot that I highlighted a week ago not only makes the list for its sexy ambiance but also it’s INCREDIBLE food. ⠀ ⠀ It’s 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗼 again, and the food is seriously so, SO good. ⠀ ⠀ All outdoors, 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗼 restaurant serves up incredible Mexican-style dishes with a modern twist in a stunning lush garden setting with just the right amount of lighting to keep it sexy and sultry.⠀ ⠀ And the best part? They’re also a mezcal bar, with over 40 mezcals to choose from. If you know anything about me, it’s that I LOVE my mezcal. It’s actually my go-to spirit of choice, and usually something simple with just agave, lime and a splash of soda water.⠀ ⠀ Did you like this restaurant rec?

Is it obvious that I’m pregnant and all I think about is food these days? 😜⠀ ⠀ For Part III of𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙪𝙡𝙪𝙢: ℝ𝔼𝕊𝕋𝔸𝕌ℝ𝔸ℕ𝕋 𝔼𝔻𝕀𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ, today’s highlight is the super cute, casual eatery in the center of town (Tulum el centro), 𝗗𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗼. ☁️⠀ ⠀ Literally translating to “from the sky”, 𝗗𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗼 welcomes guests with an outdoor patio that features a rainbow of plastic flags hanging above your head, feeling as though they’re “from the sky”. ⠀ ⠀ While their greasy spoon breakfast options are great for a hangover, their super fresh açaí fruit bowls are delicious. Such a great last minute find by @chingber — I love when that happens!⠀ ⠀ #wherecanamericanstravelnow #travelnow #tulum #mexico #tulummexico #mayanriviera #rivieramaya #travelgram #traveldiaries #travelaway #sidewalkerdaily #bloggerlife #travelblog #delcielo #delcielotulum #brunchintulum #tulumbrunchspot #wheretoeatintulum #tulumrestaurants #trendyeats #sexyrestaurants #eatorganic #bloggerlife #bloggersdiaries #bloggerlove #babeswhowander #tulumrestaurant #foodie (at Centro Tulum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcCCj7hHd6/?igshid=18zabcgpesssj

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙪𝙡𝙪𝙢: ℝ𝔼𝕊𝕋𝔸𝕌ℝ𝔸ℕ𝕋 𝔼𝔻𝕀𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ ⠀ ⠀ As I mentioned yesterday, one of my favorite things about Tulum is its really impressive food scene. Tulum has the cutest cafes that serve up healthy vegan eats, authentic Mexican eateries and fine dining establishments that would give most places here in California a run for their money. ⠀ ⠀ One of my favorite casual spots for breakfast or lunch is 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁. ⠀ ⠀ Today, Tulum isn’t the sleepy town it once was. But with tourism brought some of the chicest boutique hotels you’ve ever seen in your life, absolutely 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 dining options, and super fun beach clubs. For everything you need to know about where to stay, where to eat and what to do, head to my blog. 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗶𝗼. ⠀ ⠀ Have you been to Tulum? What are your favorite eateries?

✨𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗚 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧!✨ ⠀ ⠀ 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙪𝙡𝙪𝙢 ⠀ ⠀ It’s no wonder you’ve seen tons of your favorite influencers flocking to Tulum lately. For one, it’s open for travel—and rather easy in light of the fact that Mexico doesn’t require a negative Covid test upon entry—and two... well, it’s just magical.✨ ⠀ ⠀ Tulum has changed a lot over the years, and looks nothing like it did when I first came to Tulum over 10 years ago for my dear friend @lace85 ’s wedding. Back then, we fell in love with the laid back lifestyle and seemingly untouched beaches. ⠀ ⠀ Today, Tulum isn’t the sleepy town it once was. But with tourism brought some of the chicest boutique hotels you’ve ever seen in your life, absolutely 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 dining options, and super fun beach clubs.
