Travel Guide: 30A

30A had not been on my bucket list until my kids convinced me it would be fun. I was surprised how much I loved 30A! Beware, I've been told that the crowds, waits and lines have been worse than ever before. Even though, it is somewhat crowded, there are so many things to do off the beaten path. We chose Watercolor for the biking trails, access to the lake and to meet up with other friends staying in that part of 30A. I think next time I would like to try Rosemary, as it is biking only, no golf carts, and has beautiful Dutch architecture. If I go back for a girls trip, I definitely want to stay in Alys Beach, because the Grecian white buildings are stunning!! Weather was fabulous all week!

Because it's Cancer Survivor Day we made sure to be protected with SPF. I was super consistent with my body and skincare regimens. Plus, I got a Notox, Spray Tan and wax before my trip! Learn how to Jump Start Your Summer Slim Down and Summer's Perfectly Light Weight Skincare Routine!
