The Bodhi Tree House Grand Opening – Miami

IMG_4872

A couple weeks ago I was fortunate enough to attend the grand opening of a new holistic store in Wynwood, The Bodhi Tree House. It was tucked away in some warehouse space, but I was absolutely blown away when I walked inside. It really looked like you were in a treehouse. It was like something out of a Wes Anderson movie mixed with a little bit of magic. It’s impossible not to feel serene and at peace while in the tree house, and everything they offer is so up my alley.

Crystals and mysticism have become a big part of my life for the past year, and I loved being in such a spiritual healing environment. Naturally, a packed grand opening party doesn’t lend itself to too much calm, but I can’t wait to visit soon and actually shop and look into some of their classes. I also loved that they had a little cafe in the back of the store offering healthy treats. I was able to enjoy crystal-infused water for the first time, which was pretty neat.

What I Wore: 2012

What’s up, 2012!

I hope all of you rang in the new year in the best way possible – whether it was in your pj’s with a bottle glass of champagne or living it up with friends while out on the town. I started the year with this fun photoshoot courtesy of the hubs in the design district of Miami, followed by some cleansing of sorts: starting to clear out our garage and move around some stuff in the house (one of my wishes, remember?).  I keep telling myself it is the beginning of a fantastic year, even though I have already managed to be glutened and break glass.

Roxy’s Derby-licious Photo Shoot

Remember my 2-year anniversary pretty nifty photoshoot giveaway? Well, Roxy was one of the two winners and we were finally able to coordinate a session a couple of weeks ago. She is just the cutest little thing with tons of spunk and sass (two of my favorite qualities). She wanted a mixture of pin up and roller derby, as she is fresh meat on her Houston league back home. The ideas sounded great to us – my hubs had never shot anything in these styles so he was more than psyched to give it a go. I have to say that we had the best time with Ms. GrrFeisty – she even inspired me to give derby a go (I’m looking at you, Vice City Rollers)!

What I Wore | Art Walk

Every second Saturday of the month, all the art galleries in Miami’s Design District open their doors to the public for free. I used to frequent the gallery walks years ago, but was really surprised to see this past weekend how huge the event has gotten. Food trucks line the street, amazing bands playing in every corner, free drinks and quality art. It only makes me wish there were more events like this in Miami on a regular basis! I had a great time with my friends and we are hoping to make this a monthly outing.
