Florida notes and initial thoughts in no particular order:
•Everyone drives fast and crazy and I kind of love it (there are also A LOT of accidents though {ofc} which is scary)
•I’ve definitely noticed lower inflammation on my body which I partially attribute to my environment but I’m also proud to say I’ve dry-brushed and practiced some form of extra skincare almost every single day so far! The girlies know these little routines always get lost in the hustle so feeling really positive ab this
•The food and restaurant scene is kindddd of dryyyy outside of the big areas like WPB, Miami, etc. - there really isn’t anything like the bounty and coinciding culinary programs throughout the Hudson Valley - thankfully the chef bf/nutrition girl combo works well for us and we are able to cook most of our meals home together🤍
•People are very into their movement/exercise practices, try to eat well and generally prioritize healthy living here. Classes are booked, people are active on the community boards looking for groups and everyone is generally out walking/jogging/biking throughout the day! I just love to see it
•I don’t get as much beach time as expected. Although I work along the ocean and get to enjoy it regularly in that way, my personal time hasn’t lent itself there much unfortunately. When I have time, the weather doesn’t hold up and when the weather is good, I’m busy :)
•There are grocery stores everywhere! It’s so easy to buy a few things here and there over planing a big weekly shop to a store 20 minutes away (maybe more expensive this way but enough on that)
•I’m starting a really exciting new project later this month and can’t wait to share more of the details SOOOOOOON!!
Love yas - xoxo,
