July Events around Tampa Bay!

It’s America’s Birthday month, so there are plenty of fun events and festivities happening around Tampa Bay this month!

First things first, be sure to watch my July FunSized Five video here.
There is absolutely no time to waste so on July 1st head on over to Armature Works for their Tampa’s Backyard BBQ. From 12pm to 5pm, there will be hot dogs, burgers and oysters on the pier near Stones Throw along with live music for you to enjoy on the Riverwalk. 

Now here’s what you should know about July 4th:


Star Spangled Sparkman will start at Sparkman Wharf at 4pm. There’ll be family-friendly activities along with live entertainment, a game zone, plenty of entertainment, food and beverage specials and more.


Then at 6pm, the Water Ski Show begins and you will only be able to see this from Sparkman Wharf. This will also be when the Boat Parade begins and I would recommend looking at the map on this site, to decide where you’d like to watch the parade from. 

At 9:15pm is when the fireworks show will begin at Sparkman Wharf. 


Another option is also the American Victory Ship’s Freedom Fest party! The ship will remain docked for the entirety of the evening but you’ll get a front row seat to the fireworks and boat parade along with refreshments, food trucks, a live DJ and so much more. 


Lastly, the Heights District 4th of July Celebration at Armature Works will have a large-scale riverfront concert, a fireworks display, hot dog eating contest and so much more. All of the fun will be starting at 3pm.


Now back to the rest of July's events

July 15th & 16th is Sharkcon at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Sharkcon is an an event dedicated to raising awareness about sharks and  ocean conservation, as well as sustainability. This year’s Sharkcon will be filled with activities, exhibits, speakers, and shark-lebrities!

Now this is a cool event, the Tampa Bay Ice Cream Festival, July 17th at St Pete Pier. Enjoy ice cream & other frozen treats from over a dozen vendors. You’ll even get to vote to see who will win the first ever best ice cream in Tampa Bay award. 



National Tequila Day is July 24th so why not celebrate with a Tacos and Tequila Tasting at Centro Asturiano de Tampa. For 2 hours you’ll get to enjoy a Casamigos tequila tasting along with Los Chapos tacos.

On the 29th head to the Tampa Theatre for Beerfest 2023, for the past 13 years the Tampa Theatre has had this fundraiser to raise funds for their majestic theater and this year the theme is Beerassic Park! It will be an evening of craft beers and local brewers, plus snacks and samples from some of the city’s top independent restaurants. Guests are invited to dress as their favorite Jurassic Park character, or come in a costume inspired by the movie.

As more events and activities come onto my radar, I will be sure to update the list as the month progresses.

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 ...

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! For someone like me, who needs discipline while working out, this app is perfect for you. You get an at-home trainer, a challenge, and a work-out all on your phone! 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! I've recently read multiple health articles that say the best kind of work outs are ones of short quick intervals that combine strength training, cardio and are bound to make you sweat! Teemo does all of those things and they make it a game too! Depending on which challenge you choose, after you complete about 5 exercises they reward you with an item related to the challenge you are on. The challenges vary from a 'Desert Dash' to 'Climb Everest.' Each challenge involves differen...

Everybody Needs to be Compensated Properly, Equitably, & Above Board

image from @evanrosskatz instagram Amanda Seyfried said it best “Everybody needs to be compensated for their work. That’s f*cking easy.” She said this in reference to the recent WGA strikes happening in Hollywood. However, I would like to take her quote and apply it to what I’ve noticed the issues are with how the entertainment industry is ran here in Florida.   After working in the entertainment industry for over 10 years in New York City, I expected some things to be handled differently in Florida but not to the extent that I have witnessed. The biggest issue here is that people are, simply, not compensated for their work.   Let’s start off with, how Florida does not see the value in models. Business owners believe that if they provide you with a free item from, let’s say their restaurant, so a cocktail, that’s enough compensation to use your likeness and image in perpetuity on all mediums and formats. This is so wrong. Modeling is a profession and it should be treated as su...
