Greetings!

The Flohemian is the ultimate guide for the free-spirited Florida lifestyle. Florida has its own rhythm, and this blog is devoted to wandering the Sunshine State in style. Whether you’re a local or aspiring Floridian, let this be your resource for off-beat destinations, beach style, Florida history and Sunshine State Culture.

The Flohemian is curated by Mandy Mizell. I am a proud Floridian, a self-proclaimed naturalist, unofficial Florida historian, and Insta Tour Guide. I am a creative type where all of my artistic
pursuits are inspired by the beautiful place I call home. I was raised in Florida and have lived all over the state, and currently reside in my SoFlo home in West Palm Beach.

I thank you deeply for passing through and hope it evokes a little more love in your heart for the 27th State.

I know I have a lot of favorite places in FL🍊 b I know I have a lot of favorite places in FL🍊 but this is definitely one of them. 🐊 This wild little stretch on the Loxahatchee River has a promenade of crooked palmettos lined up like drunken soldiers to guide you back home. 🌴 🧡

It’s #FloridaFunFact Friday at the Historic Napl It’s #FloridaFunFact Friday at the Historic Naples Pier. 🎣 The Tamiami Trail (aka US-41) was finished in 1928 , but before that boat was the best option to get to Naples. The Pier was built in 1889 providing transit to the area for people + building supplies for the new bustling coastal town. The city’s 1st Post Office 🏤 once sat at the end of the pier until an accidental cigarette fire burnt down the P.O. 🚬 but the pier was saved! The pier was put under pressure by 6 major hurricanes starting in 1909 up through 2017. 💨 No matter how many storms took it away, the fine people of Naples rebuilt the Good Ol’ Pier. 🌊 In 2015, it underwent major renovations + the wood was replaced with Brazilian Ipe which is anticipated to withstand 3 decades of fishing + sunset watching on the Gulf of Mexico. 🌅

If you’re a sponge for information 🧽 + love F If you’re a sponge for information 🧽 + love FL🍊 history... check out my “Tarpon” highlights to get a tour of this Greek town that is so close to my 🧡. Today is a special day on the Tarpon Bayou bc it is Epiphany Day. Young men ages 16-18 in the Greek Orthodox Church 🇬🇷 will be dive for a cross, thrown in Spring Bayou by the archbishop. The retriever of the cross receives blessings + good luck for the year! ⛪️ This tradition is over 100 years old + usually draws in 20K+ people to this tiny coastal town. This year, only 800 parishioners were allowed to attend due to the pandemic 😷, but it is still a special day in Tarpon. 💕 Congrats to our 2021 Cross Retriever, Tarpon High student, Colton Sakadales! AXIOS. 💙 🙏🏼 Fun fact: his brother Hunter retrieved the cross last year. Must be great swimmers in the family. 🏊‍♂️

If you’re on the “New Year, New Me,” kick, t If you’re on the “New Year, New Me,” kick, trading out the handfuls of Ferrero Rocher for heaps of kale 🥬 (same!) ... then make sure you check out the new @bedners_farm market when you’re passing through WPB. 🥕 I have been a Bedner’s fan girl for a few years. You may have noticed, I have this thing with Florida farms. ☀️ 🍅 Bedner’s is a local farm in Boynton with sustainable practices, U-pick + the most darling little market in Delray. 🧡 In December, a Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market opened in our neighborhood in Flamingo Park. 🦩 👏🏼 At least 4 times per week we pop in there for a smoothie, groceries or just hit the soup bar if I’m too lazy to cook 🍜. We are so stoked to have them + I invite you to check out my local farm stand. Now more than ever, your body needs an immune boost! Take care of yourself, eat the veggies, lose the pounds.💪 Any other farm stands I should check out as I wander FL🍊? Tell me in the comments.

1st day of this New Year falls on #FloridaFunFact 1st day of this New Year falls on #FloridaFunFact Friday! 🍊 I kicked off 2021 exploring @fruitandspicepark in Homestead, FL. 📍 This park was established in 1944, by the passion of Mary Caulkins Heinlein. She wanted to showcase the fruitful bounty of Redland, a haven for growing subtropical fruits. 🥑 Coming from a pioneer family in Homestead, she saw how the fruits of their labor built this agricultural community. 🥭 Redland was named for its reddish colored soil, which is ideal for growing fruits + spices due to its subtropical latitude. 🥥 At the park, you’re allowed to try any fruits that fall on the ground, just no picking! If you hit a day of slim pickings of fruit (or I should say “pick ups”) like we did, they offer you a sample of exotic fruits on a banana leaf plate. 🍌 🧡

The fact that @thehazelbay makes up 1/3 of my #top The fact that @thehazelbay makes up 1/3 of my #topnine2020 AND holds the #1 spot makes me a proud dog mom. 🐾 If I didn’t have her, I’m not sure how I would have gotten through this strange year. 🐶 Although this year was frustrating, I had a good one. We survived 2020, people! Let’s turn the rest of this decade around. 🧡
