THE CHRONICOLES #4: MIAMI VACATION

fontainebleau • miami beach, fl //

last month, a few girlfriends & I went to florida for a long wknd. we stayed at the beautiful fontainebleau in miami beach and the five days we were there, I got a taste of what true luxury is like. for ex: (pictured above) one of the two chandeliers that greet you in the hotel's lobby.

for the first time in my "adult" life, I was able to take a step back and see that I must be doing something right. I was able to treat myself to a vacation of relaxing and indulging. everyone in their late-20'smyself includedgets so caught up in working towards the next thing that we don't appreciate where we are currently. it felt like just a year ago, my friends and I were squirreling money to buy 30-packs of beer and now we're all traveling, buying homes and getting married.

I hope you all won't think I'm superficial when I say that I had this feeling of success while I was at a nightclub watching confetti fall, but that's what sparked this ah-ha moment for me. (it could have also been the champagne...) ever since I realized I'm doing okay, I've made it a point to be easier on myself. & I hope that's something you can practice too the next time you're second guessing yourself.

ps: as exciting as a vacation might be, coming home to my apartment, boyfriend, cat & even my job is just as good. if not, better.

x, nicole

  12. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means, and represents, and makes sense, to consider, from the beginning of the house hunting. buying house business in bangladesh Therefore, doesn't it seem, to make very little sense, that, when people are ready to purchase their first HOME, or upgrade to a new one, they appear to often, do so, in a rather, haphazard manner.
