Hi all,

I had the opportunity to spend some time in Miami, my home town, in July and see friends and family following Swim Week. If you've been to Miami, or if you're from there, you'll know that Miami is hot year-round and one of the local's favorite things is to go out on a boat to one of the sandbars, anchor down and enjoy a day in the sun and water with your drink of choice. For today, that was Stella Artois Cidre, one of my favorites for the Summer. I'm excited to share some insight into the the planning and the images from a recent boat trip I took with one of my sisters and some of my best friends in Miami!

The Right Ingredients for a Fun Day

To host one to remember, you need the right ingredients. Elevating something from a regular get-together into something truly special usually doesn't just "happen". And the ingredients we're talking about here aren't just salt and lemon juice. The right ingredients call for friends, family and adding a little substance - a little extra spark. To provide that, we set out on a boat with Stella Artois Cidre and beer, along with some music and water. In particular, I'm a big fan of the Cidre in the summer, finding it to not too sweet and not to dry, though my husband usually prefers the beer.

But of course, no party would be complete without the outfit as well. Here, I opted for a baby pink, crochet swimsuit that I just fell in love with!

How will you add spark to your next party?

Look forward to seeing your comments below! As always, thank you for reading!
