Rosemary Roundup with Tommy Bahama

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

To me, clothing is one of the many vehicles to an adventure. Have you ever picked up a piece in your closet and it jogs a memory of a vacation where you wore it? If you’re like me, you have a closet full of memories. This is one of the reasons why I do not […]

Staycation at Crane’s Beach House, Delray

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

I had the pleasure of being hosted at Crane’s Beach House for a staycation that offered a full-on latitude adjustment. The property is located in Delray Beach, however Crane’s Beach House feels like a slice of the Keys got squeezed into Palm Beach County. This boutique hotel is tucked away just a block off of […]

Miami Beach: Always a Circus

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

Did you know the original mascot of Miami Beach was an Elephant? The story starts on Collins Avenue, this little stretch of A1A was purchased in the 1880s by John Collins of NJ with big plans of a coconut plantation. When that failed, Collins’ sons gave him the idea to make lots for lovely Miami Beach winter homes. Collins liked the idea, but the mangroves, noseeums and the occasional venomous snakes were daunting. He recruited some unique help, namely Carl Fischer (as in Fischer Island) who suggested using elephants to aid in bulldozing the salty swamp of the Venetian Islands.

Roadside Florida Selfie Stop Roundup

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

My life is a Florida roadtrip. Aside from seeking the best Florida travel destinations for this blog, I work 9-5 on the road in sales which calls for long days on the road. I became fascinated with roadside attractions when I consistently passed a giant orange along US-1 in Rockledge. After a long day of […]

As I live a FLOmadic life, I am seeking the best desserts and treats with flavor that is unique to Florida. I was once told that calories do not count on vacation, and although the statement defies logic, I roll with it. I have created a roundup of the “5 Best Spots for Sweets in […]

Death or Glory Bar in Delray

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

On a side street in Delray Beach there is a hidden Tiki oasis, tucked in a carport of a historical home built. Death or Glory is a young establishment with two years of business under its belt, but its building sitting at 116 NE 16th Avenue helped write the story of Delray Beach. Death or […]

For the second year, I have kicked off MOSAIC with a visit to the Cornell Art Museum in Delray Beach. The newest exhibit on display is The Seven Solos, with seven unique interactive art installations. It is […]

Local Legend: Howley’s Restaurant WPB

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

There are not many places that can adapt to time while preserving its history and authenticity, however Howley’s Restaurant succeeds. An eclectic mix of Midcentury nostalgia clashes with millennial quirk, to create the perfect diner along Dixie Highway that has toted the slogan “Cooked in Sight, must be right!” since 1950. I frequent Howley’s almost […]

Saving Face at Bella Reina

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

I turned 32 a week ago, and as I work my way well into my third decade I’m trying to fight off the aging process in the most graceful ways. I’ve been trying to save face as my mug has some battle wounds from my sun worshiping Florida lifestyle. On my birthday, I was treated […]
