Paris was an INCREDIBLE adventure and now I am definitely bitten by the travel bug! The architecture, culture, history, and beauty were just unexplainable. We were able to do most of the “touristy” things we wanted to do, but we also got the opportunity to explore the city on our own. We visited the Lourve, Musée de Orsay, the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Sacré-Cœur Basilica, walked and shopped on Champs-Élysées, window shopped on Avenue Montaigne, explored the Saint Ouen flea market right outside of Paris (which has vintage goods dating back to the Middle Ages), and put locks on the Love Lock bridge. Here are just some of the MANY photos I took on my trip.

It’s been an extremely busy month so far! With my birthday, followed by my ugly sweater party, followed by a spontaneous BIG trip that I booked! Here’s a quick photo recap of what’s been going on! These guilt-free eggnog pudding shots were a hit! Here’s the recipe, and you can easily switch it up for different occasions by using different flavors of pudding mix, and different Bailey’s flavors instead of eggnog! 1 packet sugar-free vanilla pudding 1 cup Silk “Holiday Nog” (or any light Egg Nog) 1 cup Pinnacle Marshmallow Vodka (or you can use the Whipped flavor) 1 tub Light Cool Whip Mix all together until smooth. Fill plastic shot cups. I chilled them overnight. Top with a dollop of whipped cream – I garnished with red sugar crystals but would also be great with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve! (Makes about 25-30 shots depending on the size of the cups) It’s…

I’m back in Orlando after a great Thanksgiving weekend in South Florida with family and friends. #BackHomeBaller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmWH1F-caM8 My birthday is this upcoming weekend, so I celebrated with family and friends while I was back home. It started with this stunning purse that my mom got me. Besides being beautiful, I love what a unique piece it is! I spent Saturday in Miami with my best friend, and two of my other close friends that live in South Florida came down for the night so we could all go out and celebrate! And of course… It was such a fun weekend, and the celebrations will continue this weekend, my actual birthday weekend!

I head to NYC this week for work, and I get to enjoy the weekend up there as well! I’m looking forward to some cooler weather and pulling out some new items from my Fall wardrobe! Here are some of the pieces I’m bringing (these are either the exact items, or very similar items). Be sure to follow me on Instagram (@marissalynne) to keep up with my travels while I’m on the go!
