Time for Tea!

Saturday, around two, Stephanie and I headed to Mount Dora for some good ole fashioned 

British tea and crumpets. 

We had heard good things about a tea room called Windsor Rose and decided to give 

it a shot.

We ended up in a cute little town on the water filled with shops, restaurants,
and tea houses.

When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a lovely lady in white apron and given the choice of a scenic window seat or a seat by the queen.

It was a hard choice, but we chose the window seat.

Once seated, we were able to look over the selection of teas and pastries.

High Tea Menu.

I decided on the Marlborough - Tea for One and Stephanie had the 

English Cream Tea which came with a scone.

I had the Rose Tea - which was fantastic! 

I loved the cake, the pastry, and most of the sandwiches. Next time I think 

I will order the Queen Mary Tea for One.

Stephanie and I had never tried clotted cream before, so 

we were very excited to see it came with the 

scone!

Once we had finished our tea, the owner showed us around, explained, 

the artwork on the wall, let Stephanie pick out a new hat, and

took as many pictures of us as we wanted!

After bidding farewell, we set out to explore a little more of the

town before heading home.

The Great Trip Part III - Day 2 in NYC

Thursday morning Ricky and I woke up early and decided to walk around the city before I needed to meet Daniella for my first Soul Cycle class at noon. 

My goal was to try to be healthy on this trip, so we went in search of healthy breakfast. My healthy breakfast was in the form of a green smoothie. Ricky's healthy breakfast was in the form of a hotdog... 

Oh, this face is terrible...

After washing our breakfast down with iced coffee (it was 50 degrees!), we set out for Central Park.

In need of a selfie stick

After walking around Central park for about an hour, it was time for me

to meet up with Daniella for Soul Cycle!

This was the best spinning class I have ever taken! The instructor

was motivating, the music was kickin, and the spinners were dancing while

peddling! I had so much fun working out! Who would have thought that would be 

possible? Thanks Daniella for introducing me to Soul Cycle. Hopefully

one will pop up in Orlando!

After getting my butt kicked in spin class, Ricky and I decided it would be best to walk home for a shower! 

But on the way, I made a few stops!

I couldn't help myself!

After grabbing a bite to eat from the street carts, we decided

to take our meals and picnic on the stairs of the Library.

After lunch, we headed back to the apartment for a quick shower and a teensy bit

of rest before heading out towards China Town and Little Italy.

The plan was to walk through Little Italy and then when we

arrived in China town we would look for a 

spot for dinner.

The only problem with that plan was that China Town smelled HORRIBLE.

We walked through it as quickly as we could - there was no WAY we were going

to eat dinner here.

For dinner we ended up at a restaurant in Little Italy called Amici's. 

The service was great and the noodles were homemade!

I had the Chicken Rollatine Valdostana and Ricky had the

Homemade Lasagna. 

After dinner, we stopped by a cart for gelato and headed back to the

apartment for some much needed rest.

My Motivation

My Creation

This morning was one of those mornings where I hated all of my clothes. 

It took me thirty minutes to put this simple outfit together! 

By the time I was dressed and my hair was done, 

I was running so late that I didn't have time to do my makeup! 

So these pics are totally #makeupfree :). Enjoy!

Below is a makeup selfie! 

Just to prove I did my makeup this morning.

Celebrity Motivation

My Creation

I know its not cold anymore (especially in Florida) 

but I just love leggings! I can't stop and I won't stop wearing them! 

They are just too comfortable, and a slimming black pair of leggings does my booty good :). 

My favorite pair of leggings are from Publix. 

These leggings make me feel like I'm wearing spanx, 

they keep everrrrrrrything pulled in and smooth. 

The shirt is Ginger G.
