February Events around Tampa Bay!

The month of looooveee is here so there is plenty to love about these upcoming events happening around Tampa Bay this month!

First things first, be sure to watch February's FunSized Five video!

Let's kick things off with two different events happening on February 11th!

You'll want to start your day at the Tampa Bay Chocolate Festival happening at Gulf View Square in New Port Richey. This is the 10th year for this festival and it's going to be the Sweet & Spicy Edition, so all the vendors will be sticking to this theme but can add some heat as well. It's a free event where you can pay for the treats you wish to enjoy. There'll be live music with plenty of fun to be had, while you enjoy your sweet treats from 11am to 7pm. 

Once you are filled up from treats at the Chocolate Festival, you'll want to head down to Ybor where the Knight Parade is starting at 7pm. The Knights of Sant'Yago will lead more than 100 Tampa Organizations down 7th Avenue in what is the largest illuminated night parade in the South! There'll be marching bands, local political icons and the Grand Marshal for this year, Luiz "Gonzo" Gonzalez, Tampa Native and Florida Sports Hall of Fame baseball player.

Now if you're a brunch lover, you are not going to want to miss Brunched happening on February 18th. At this event, you'll be able to sample brunch bites from your favorite Tampa Bay restaurants while sipping on bubbly and taking in the gorgeous waterfront views of Downtown Tampa. There will also be a Bloody Mary Battle to determine Tampa Bay's Ultimate Bloody Mary. Depending on your ticket choice, Brunched will either start at 11am or 1pm and go until 3pm, the perfect amount of time for brunch! 

February is the start of the Major Baseball League's Spring Training and Florida is the home of the Grapefruit League! The first game is on February 24th in Fort Myers with Northeastern Huskies at the Boston Red Sox. But our Tampa Bay Ray's have their first home game on February 28th against the New York Yankees, but due to hurricane damage at their new field, this game will be played in Orlando at Disney's Wide World of Sports. Keep up with your favorite teams schedule here. 


Head on over to Safety Harbor during the weekend of the 25th for their Art & Seafood on the Waterfront Event. On Saturday from 11am-9pm and Sunday from 11am-6pm, enjoy mixed media art work on display, with plenty of great local seafood to enjoy. There will be live music throughout the event. This event is free to the public but VIP tickets are available that include exclusive seating with food and drinks included and more. For more information and to purchase tickets visit the event's website here. 

Well there you have it for my FunSized Five for February! As more events and activities come into my radar, I will be sure to update the list as the month progresses.

Fun New Fitness App!

Thanks to InStyle Magazine , I found out about this great new Fitness App called ' Teemo .' It's a free app you can get from iTunes that I recommend you get right this second!

What's better than that? ...Well I could name a few but let's focus on the app for right now! Teemo makes it fun for you to exercise!

Quarantine Night time Skin Care Routine

Throughout this time in quarantine, I really have made a conscious effort to take care of my skin. I think this is the best it has looked in a really long time, partly because of how I've been keeping up with this nightly routine.  So here is the quick video version of it and then I'm going to go into detail of what exactly I am doing... If I'm wearing make-up, I first use Biore's Charcoal Cleansing Micellar Water to take off my make-up, or at least the majority of it. Now even though, it says on the bottle you can use this without rinsing it off, I feel like it still leaves a film which is why I go to wash my face with soap afterwards.  To wash my face, I vary between different gentle cleansers but for this video I used Lancome's Miel-en-Mousse Foaming Face Wash, which smells incredible! Washing my face after removing my make up, helps make sure there is no remaining residue of make up on my skin before I continue with my routine. After washing my face, I ...
