Magical Dining

Hi y'all,

So I wanted to touch base with you about this Magical Dining that's taking place here in Orlando. You're probably thinking the same thing as I did at first, what the heck is Magical Dining. Well it's this awesome plan that these super nice upscale restaurants participate in to make it possible for everyone to try these places out. It started sometime in Sept, and I wish I would've found out about this sooner to take more advantage of it, but that's alright there will be next year.

Basically it's $35/person for a 3 course meal from the restaurants that's on the list... and there's several! Each person receives an appetizer, an entree, and a desert. Which at most of these places your main dish is going to be close to or more than $35, so it's awesome that they offer this and... and it's the same amount/portion size! It's not like they jip you out and give you only a slivers worth bite.

Last night Larry and I had a special date night out to STK at Disney Springs to experience this magical dining, and it was perfect! We both started out with salads and of course had to get the filet since we were at STK, and boy was this DELICIOUS!!! We added on shrimp to top our steaks and ordered a side of their famous mac & cheese, and we were not disappointed in the slightest. Those filets melted in our mouths, they were that tender and good. It came with a mashed potato under lay, which was also amazing, but the mac & cheese we couldn't get over how all the cheese flavors separated in your mouth. It was amazing and we will def go there again even if it is to share a meal lol. For the finishing touches we tried the warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream and the salted caramel budino. I'm not going to lie, we didn't really love either of these. So I wouldn't recommend the deserts from there, but everything else I would.

We're trying to figure out which restaurant to try out next because it only last until Oct 12th, and along with both of our crazy schedules it's going to be hard, but we'll make time at least once more before this magical dining ends.

Oh and also this romper I wore for the occasion... I'm loving! It's from SheIn, and was under $20!!! I've been obsessing lately over everything maroon ya know transitioning into Fall could be why lol, but honestly this romper is so cute and fits perfectly (I got it in a small if this helps with sizing at all). I def recommend checking them out because they have so many trending styles for the prices we all can afford. Click HERE for the exact romper, otherwise I've linked some similar options below as well.

My recommendation to you is that if you live in the Orlando area, definitely go out and treat yourself to this special night out, you won't regret it!

My Go To Options When Cleaning Out My Closet

Hey there friends,

So you ever wonder what to do with some of your older items or things you just aren't into anymore? Well I have a few ideas for you and I'll fill you in on all my outlets for either resale or donating my used, but still like new items!

First off, we all mostly know that I have and ton of things... like most of us do! I don't know how many times a year I'll decide to go through my closet and accessories and have a complete clear out of things I'm either over looking at or doesn't fit or just haven't worn in over a year so it's time to go. Well while being locked up this past weekend with hurricane Irma on her way, I figured it was a great time to do some more cleaning out of my closet!

---

My first go to site is Poshmark. I think this is a great outlet for resale and very trust worthy. I've never had a problem with selling or buying from here and they make it so easy. All you gotta do is take some nice pix of what you're selling and list it with the details. Which all the categories are listed for you and is so simple to complete. You can share your item to your followers and even special events throughout the site that they have daily to get it out to more people to see. Then you wait for someone to either buy it straight up or you can even negotiate, which I don't mind at all, then simply print the postage they send you and ship it off. Your sale is complete! It's that easy. Posh also makes your money transfers so easy with direct deposit as an option. The only thing I don't love is that they take 20% out of your sale, but for how convenient they make the transactions it makes it worth it to me. Always hassle free and consumer/seller friendly. I've listed my Posh closet HERE for you and also if you decide to sign up here is a code: LIBERG, to receive $5 FREE just for signing up!

---

The second place I have good luck on is good ole eBay. It's been around for so long, but I really make decent sales there too. The only thing I'd say I don't love is that I have to list an item for a certain duration of time whether it's auction style or buy it now. Not that it's hard to relist if the item doesn't sell the first time, it's just remembering to do it. I will say eBay is nicer on the amount they take out of your sale though, it's only like 10% then Paypal take 3% for the transaction, so 13% total compared to the 20% is def nicer. It really just depends what I'm selling and which platform it may go over better on. You can find my listings HERE for this site.

---

Lastly my third option when it comes to clearing out my closet is simply to donate it to Goodwill. I take so much stuff through out the year for donation, it really adds up and you can use that for write offs when it comes to taxes too. I will say I always will try to resell my belongings first because half the time I've only worn or used them maybe twice... I have a really bad habit of this lol. It's like I wear it once and I feel like I'm done with it. So I try to get a little something for my things since they are still in great condition, but if I have no luck to Goodwill is where it goes.

---

The feeling you get after really cleaning out your closet feels so good, and if you're able to make a little back that's even better. Then you take take that profit and let it build to treat yourself to something new :)

There's a few other sites/apps that I've heard of as well, but to be honest Posh and eBay are the ones I have the best results from so wanted to share with you how I choose to resell/giveaway my things. I mean and there is always the option of having a yard sale, but that's a whole lot of work for very little pay off, so I'd much rather just donate my items.

Now it's your turn go clean out your closet and see if you have any luck with some of these options like I do!

Pensacola Vibe'n

This past weekend was amazing!

Visiting with friends is always good, but it's even better to make a vacation out of it to simply relax and have a chill time good company. This past weekend was just that. We took the weekend and drove over to Pensacola to stay with friends and see the Blue Angels Air Show... which by far is one of the coolest things I've seen. The entire trip was just so nice to catch up with Robert and Kristen, hang out, enjoy some food and drinks, and have some good laughs. Everyday pretty much consisted of ridin and beachin. I'd say that's pretty fun in itself.

I also realized I never went into detail about this super cute maxi I came across at Target! It's a dupe for Ulla Johnson from Barney's, and definitely has made it into my summer staples. I adore the flare shoulder and the ruffle bottom. Super super cute and only like $30 from Target!

You can see me featured rocking this dress on Target's Awesomeshop:

Of course we had to venture over to the fish dock too to check out what Captain Joe Patti had in store for us. And that would be a hole lot of FISH! I had never been to an actual fish market and dang there's so many types of fish I had no idea there were that many to pick from when it came to cuisine. "New Horizon" is one of the boats they still use to take out and gather for our dining delights.

You couldn't tell I'm a dancer at all...

We had just a little bit of fun as you can see!

Love my beach bum so much! He lived in board shorts the entire weekend lol

Boys will be boys. Always being tough and strong...

the boat won ;)

Where else to do Sunday brunch rather than at McGuire's?! Robert and Kristen have told us about this place before, but they're always so busy so never had gotten the chance to check it out. Finally we brunched it up for a super filling delicious meal. Everything we got was so yummy, plus to mention our meals came with frozen Irish Coffees... amazing. The entire ceiling and walls are covered in dollars, I would hate to be the one to have to count it because there were a shit ton of ones EVERYWHERE! We didn't want to feel left out, so we put a dollar up to right as you walk in.

UGHHHHHHH, Larry!

Last part of the tradition is that you have to kiss the moose in the middle of the bar, so we kissed the moose! Now we're suppose to have automatic good luck. I'll TAKE IT!

Vacation wouldn't be the same without a little beach in there somewhere... in this case everyday! Even though it was slightly over cast and storms that passed through, we made the best of our fun in the sun time. We were so excited to see the Blue Angles again this year. Some of the stuff those jets do, I have no clue how they even go to try. It's insane, yet so cool.

BLUE ANGELS!!!

Until next time Pensacola. Thanks for making our trip so nice!
