ON HOLIDAY : BAHAMAS

While 2025 was a wonderful year, it brought moments of feeling exhausted and slightly overwhelmed at times. Oftentimes we do our very best to power through moments of stress and persevere through the end of year. Once the new year hit, it was time for a mental reset and bring new vibrations and intentions to kick off 2026.

Craving new food, new scenic experiences, self-care and some down time. With that in mind, we decided to hit purchase on flights to the Bahamas.

I set out to explore the vibrant local scene, where artisans displayed their crafts, clothing shops tempted with colorful textiles, and the rhythmic beats of reggaeton filled the air. The atmosphere pulsed with life and joy, inviting me to wander and discover. May I suggest visiting the woman skillfully cracking open fresh coconuts on the sidewalk. Her radiant smile was as refreshing as the chilled water that awaited inside. It was the perfect antidote to the heat, and I savored every sip as I roamed the lively streets.

Shortly after, I made my way down to the shoreline, where the Caribbean waters awaited. The sea painted in gentle hues of aqua faded into rich blues, an inviting canvas for relaxation. As my feet sank into the pristine white sand, I approached the water, where the gentle waves lapped at my ankles, reminiscent of a soothing bath. The tranquility of the scene washed over me, each ripple reflecting the sunlight and adding to the idyllic afternoon.

I closed my eyes, inhaling the salty air and allowing the rhythm of the waves to lull me into a state of bliss. In that moment, with the sun setting on the horizon, I knew I had found the perfect way to usher in a new year—surrounded by great company, beauty, adventure and a heart full of gratitude for the journey ahead.
