Dreaming of somewhere warm… somewhere with a beach… dreaming of St Pete! The perfect escape from winter - we had such a great time! Here are some highlights from our recent trip! 🚫❄️ 👍🏖️

Our recent winter getaway in St Pete summarized in a series of photos and videos 📸

1. Soaking in the sun and getting kissing at @thedoncesarhotel ❤️
2. Swinging into the weekend 🙂 (we nearly fell off haha) 👨🏿‍🤝‍👨🏻
3. Enjoying the ocean views from the hotel restaurant 🌊
4. More kisses on sunset beach, treasure island 😘
5. Kayaking with @getupandgotampabay checking out the Shell Key Preserve 🚣‍♂️
6. Hanging up seashells for good luck - the tree was full of shells! 🐚
7. Loving the architecture and enjoying the art within the Dali Museum @dalimuseum 🎨
8. I love the glass “bubble” domes that pop out of the building (also because it has the best light for photos) ☀️
9. Walk around St. Pete enjoying the murals that were installed as part of the annual @shineonstpete 🖼️
10. Sinning at @thesaintstpete with unique cocktails in one of my new favourite speakeasies 🍹

Still surreal to me that we are engaged! 💍💍👨🏿‍🤝‍👨🏻❤️

That said, nothing really changed in the sense that we were always in a committed relationship with each other. The rings just symbolizes that commitment and our love towards each other. ❤️

Okay so here’s the story - I kind of KNEW it was coming!! :P. @teraj08 thought he was being all slick but detective Barry caught on. He set up a date night on a seemingly ‘random’ Tuesday night and wanted to leave extra early before the sun sets. He couldn’t tell me where we were going and was acting all suspicious around a friend. Not going to lie, I may or may not have search the apt for more clues (haha). That said, even though I knew it was coming, I was still surprised and was still in shock in the moment. I was also randomly really concerned that a “stranger” that was taking photos of us at the Top of the Rock when Teraj was on his knees - it turns out it was a photographer he arranged for. I was like omg you can get up! Haha.

All we need is each other for a romantic date night ❤️… that and @wendys new Italian mozzarella sandwich + garlic fries 😂 It’s the perfect pairing just like teraj and I hehe :). #ad

Definitely my new favourite items from Wendy’s. We ended the night with their peppermint frosty and home style French toast sticks for dessert!

You all know my passion is to travel❤️✈️
Now I can do even more of what I love because starting today, I can earn miles on @AlaskaAir for every dollar I spend on my @Lyft rides. It was super easy to connect my accounts to start earning 2x miles per $ spent on rides through 12/31/22 and 1x after that*. I am so ready to earn more miles and fly even more especially since the miles can also be used with @oneworld partners around the world!!🌎

We had so much fun this weekend exploring NYC and seeing the city from new heights, thanks to @groupon! I have always wanted to check out @summitov since it opened last year so when I saw a deal on the Groupon app, we finally made it happen. I love finding new
deals and activities to do with @teraj08 in NYC or while traveling. ❤️

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us” ❤️

What better place to escape to than Lake Louise, an unreal turquoise coloured glacier lake in the Canadian Rockies just northwest of the town of Banff. It was so romantic, it took my breath away! 🥰

📍 Banff National Park @banff_lakelouise @fairmontcll
Thanks again for having us @banffpride

What do mountains, glacier lakes and drag superstars have in common? Banff Pride! 🌈🏔️This past weekend we were treated to the natural beauty of Banff National Park and the heartwarming beauty of seeing a community coming together to celebrate love. We did everything from hiking up to the teahouses at Lake Louise and horseback riding through the forest in Banff, to making Pride cocktails with a drag queen and watching drag superstars strut the runway. Banff Pride is a celebration of life and living authentic as you are and we are here for it!

📍Banff National Park, Canada

Did you know about the Miss’d America Pageant?

Did you know about the Miss’d America Pageant? It started in 1994 and is drag at its finest, especially since it raises money for local charities! I definitely had a blast and cannot wait to be back. Congratulations to @its_miss_elaine for being crowned Miss’d America 2023! 👑🌈❤️ @missdamerica_ac

The most important thing in a relationship is to have fun… and preferably not roll in shit. 😂

Cheers to another year! 🥂🍾

As I sit here reflecting on my birthday, I realize I am 15,695 days in and still a work in progress. I know I have been awesome since August 1979 but I am looking forward to all awesome things I plan in the years to come. I hope you will follow along my journey and continue to inspire me to grow 💋❤️ #over40andfabulous

The cute small town vibes of New Hampshire was so romantic… 💋❤️

We had the perfect date that day - we had a romantic walk along a lake, hiked to get some fresh air, had lunch at a cute outdoor cafe and then checked out the art exhibits at the Currier Museum! We ended it with the perfect kiss! ❤️
