𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐏! If you’re close to me you know the first two months were a little rocky… 😬, but it shaped up to be a pretty decent year.

Got to meet and interview celebrities per usual 😂 lol joking. I don’t take one minute for granted. (KeKe Palmer, Celebrtiy Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani, Reality Star Miguel Harichi, Celebrity Chef/Humanitarian Jose Andre’s, Rapper Twista, Award Winning Actor Kelsey Grammer).

Traveled to AMAZING places (South Beach Miami for SOBEWFF, Jamaica 🇯🇲 #Onelove, spent my Bday in the Bahamas, and ending the year with the bestie in Detroit, MI) Next year….2026 Hello Lisbon 🇵🇹)

I LOVE Unique experiences… thank you Bacardi for inviting me to Suenos festival, thank you for ALL the Gala’s, thank you for the St. Patrick’s Day rendezvous in a penthouse suite. Thank you for all the private dinner invites, staycations, product reviews (Yes, I’m rocking my Jimmy Choo sunglasses 😎) AND letting me show off the beautiful city of Chicago. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲… 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗼! Can’t wait to explore more with my Instagram FAM
