Party Files

March 10, 2016

There’s always something going on in Miami, something for me to get into. Moving to Miami from Orlando all those years gave my blog a huge injection of content. I went from the occasional mall event to luxury suites and villas, and champagne fêtes and more. Getting to that content is crucial for my work. Major thanks to the Kia Optima and Drive Shop (always) for helping me make the journey.

When my car died I didn’t bother getting a new one. Moving from 30 minutes outside of Miami to the Upper East Side of Miami had a lot to do with that decision. I Uber a lot which is convenient most of the time but there’s nothing like having your own car. When I miss it, or am going to have an event heavy week, I borrow a media loaner.

From parties in parking garages (pictured in this post), to Star Island, to hotels I need a reliable car. I drive a lot of Kia’s and it’s so hard because I don’t think I’ve ever driven one that I dislike. This last one as I mentioned earlier was the Kia Optima. Great gas mileage, which is crucial for me if I decide to go all over the earth. When I have these cars I think of no less than 1000 extra things to do in addition to my work events and regular errands. I guess that let’s you know the Kia Optima is fun and easy to drive. I’ve had a couple of loaners I didn’t like and didn’t go anywhere with. I love the Kia UVO media system. It’s easy to use, nor does it feel like a distraction while you’re driving.

If I were to get a car again, a couple of Kia’s would be in the running as viable options. The price points are excellent and you don’t have to sacrifice luxury. That’s what I’m all about.

One Day for Jackson might just be the easiest way to give back. Just by shopping your favorite spots (like Chick-fil-a, Glow Pilates, Elia and more) on April 16th and you’re supporting South Florida’s largest public healthcare system at the same time. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. 

And if you’ve been seeing me pop up with @JacksonHealthFoundation lately, that’s because I’ll be partnering with them through October so you’re going to be hearing a lot more about the incredible work they do for our community. 

Visit OneDayForJackson.org to find all the partners near you or just text JACKSON to 41444. Be the ONE to make an impact 🫶🏾

I had such a beautiful night at the Golden Angels Gala ✨ Getting involved in my community through the @JacksonHealthFoundation and getting to see first hand the commitment to supporting patient care for thousands across our city. Hearing directly from those whose lives have been transformed by this support was really special. I’m so grateful to be part of something like this 💙 If you’re ever looking for a way to give back locally, you can learn more at jacksonhealthfoundation.org
