Wish I Was Still Here-Dominican Republic

I cannot believe how bleeping cold it is here on the East Coast right now, especially since I was in the Dominican Republic 2 weeks ago. I had a week of pure relaxation in Punta Cana. A girl could seriously get used to this view!

I definitely needed to get away for my own little holiday, after the holidays! So my fabulous friend, N, and I decided to get away from it all & get out of town. Here we are at the resort with our amazing concierge Natalia.

The entire resort had a very open outdoor living space sort of vibe that I adored. We got up every morning and started the SPF application process. {Stay tuned for my review of Anthelios SPF 60} I think I've met my SPF soul mate in my friend by the way, as we both take our anti- aging very seriously! We would get breakfast, lounge at the pool, eat lunch, lounge some more, get a massage, shower & eat dinner. Lather. Rinse. Repeat! I totally vegged out, drank an endless amount of frozen Banana Mamas & loved every second of it.

After a quick storm one night, the sky looked like rainbow sherbert.

My idea of heaven. Being by the water is just plain good for the soul.

This was my view the majority of the week as I parked my SPF laden butt under a thatched umbrella each & every day. I flew through 3 books on my Kindle (note to self, read more this year & I don't mean US Weekly!) As we prepare for yet another winter storm tomorrow, I'll be daydreaming & wishing I was there.
Peace. Love. Punta Cana. M
