Bungalows at the Breakers

theprepinpink / / Comments

Have you ever wanted to take a take a trip inside an exclusive bungalow at The Breakers? Well follow me for a sneak peek into a perfect day by the pool. Currently I work for this prestigious hotel and one of the best job perks is being able to book a bungalow for a great rate.  It’s a sweet summertime escape! The pool and beach area is only accessible to hotel guests, so it’s a perfectly private place to relax.

I like to bring my best babes on a summer day to sip on frose’ and soak up some sun. These cabanas  have everything you could need, from luxury amenities to lovely lounges, where you are able to enjoy an epic ocean view. What a chic retreat!

After laying out in the heat, I like to head over to the pool for a quick dip. If you prefer, you can make your way over to the bar for some light bites and frozen drinks. Finally, take a stroll down the beautiful sandy beaches and wade into in the ocean waves.

At the end of the afternoon I love to grab a drink to go and take a dip in the hot tub before the sun sets. It’s a wonderful end to a picture perfect day at The Breakers, Palm Beach.

Baby Beach

Asking around Aruba, we learned that one of the best beaches is Baby Beach. From lovely lagoons to crystal blue water, this place is truly a slice of paradise.

On this island, you can have the best of both worlds. You can snorkel in the serene waters, then take a little walk around the rocks.

It was great catching up with my sisters while catching some rays. We loved and sipping on Mai Tais and talking at the tiki bar.

This afternoon was certainly a daytrip to dream about. I cant wait to explore and see what else is in store on the enchanting island of Aruba.

Horsing Around in Aruba

theprepinpink / / Comments

Aruba is known for its amazing beaches, so what better way to explore, than by horse? My parents surprised myself and the girls by taking us riding at Gold Mine Ranch.

We wandered up the windy roads of Aruba and made our way over to the ocean. Climbing up to cactus lined cliffs, we headed down to the sandy shores.

What a great memory, getting to ‘giddy up with my girls? It was hard to say goodbye as we rode by the waves.

The greatest tour guide was my girl, Elegancia. She was the sweetest horse that showed me around this amazing island. We certainly had a wild ride, but I think we were both ready head back to the ranch. Until next time, Gold Mine!

Flamingo Beach

Over the years, my family have always asked where we should go on vacation. I always share my bucket list trip, Flamingo Beach. This year my family took me up on the idea, and soon, we were off to Aruba!

We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel right along the beach. It is the only hotel that has direct access to the private island. In just a short boat ride from the hotel, you are transported to the paradise.

My family surprised us with a charming cabana overlooking the ocean. With champagne in our hand and our name etched in the sand, we were ready to relax.

In an island lined with flamingos, I was in a pink paradise. These beautiful birds paraded around the beach as tourists took the perfect pictures.

All my dreams came true when I had the chance to feed these flamingos and pose for the most fabulous photo-op. It was certainly surreal to swim with my spirit animals.

As if the day couldn’t get any better, we ventured across the beach to find the baby flamingos. If you are like me and have never seen a baby flamingo, you would be wondering why they are white. The truth? They have not eaten all of their shrimp yet! They are so cute but dont get too close, as they are quite shy.

The adults, on the other hand, stroll through the sand and literally eat out of palm of your hand. This island had everything you need, from palm trees to pina coladas. I couldn’t wait to see what more there was to expolore in Aruba.

We were sad to flamin-GO, but a bye bye bird bath softened the blow. We packed up our bags and left the beach. I wanted to take one of these little guys with me, but I was happy to leave with such sweet memories.

Floating on Folly

As you may know, being a coastal girl in the Carolinas, I always have to be close to the ocean. So when I heard my cousins were about to be Folly bound, I knew I had to tag along for the trip.

We rented a beach house for the weekend, with just a short walk to the water. The best part was having our own personal pool full of my favorite floats.

While my family hit the beach for a fishing trip, I floated the day away and soaked up some sun. It was the perfect day to play beneath the palms.

When the sun started to fade, we made our way to Chico Feo for tacos. I love this laid back spot to sip and see with locals and listen to live music. We headed downtown to dance the night away, but I couldn’t wait to be back in my dream suite. It was hard to leave this poolside pad, but I am always looking forward to my next beach retreat!
