A fundraiser can’t become an experience without the people willing to show up and build it with you. 🩸🤍 These vendors helped turn Sips for Strength into a full evening of connection, shopping, wellness, treats, laughter, and community support for Blood Cancer United. They donated proceeds. They brought energy. They kept guests engaged. They helped with setup, breakdown, and everything in between. And most importantly? They believed in the cause. Connecticut businesses really do show up when it matters. Give these baddies some love @bodhitreegardens @fruitylucreations @thenutmegfudgecompany @minitowncafeplay @interlinkedct @float_41 @makewellnessofficial @best_embroideryct @charsfleurdeliscreations @soe4u (see her dedicated post!) 📸 @photographybymels_ . . #ctvendors #shopct #ctsmallbusisness #203local #bloodcancerunited

I’m so excited to take you guys along with me on this journey! Have any of you ever floated before?

Look good, Feel Good, Do Good 💐 Had an amazing time at a fundraiser for @abrighterway_llc their organization provides individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services designed to help neurodiverse children develop essential communication, social, and daily living skills. Their highly trained team delivers evidence-based therapy through both a welcoming center-based environment and flexible home-based sessions, focusing on reducing challenging behaviors while fostering independence. After that we went to a Bridgerton inspired event by @wipaconnecticut By fostering a community of esteemed professionals, WIPA Connecticut aims to elevate industry standards and empower its members to create world-class wedding experiences through shared knowledge and ethical business practices. And the outfits all night long were incredible 💐

Burnt out, exhausted, and overwhelmed? Same. Here’s how I paused and reset. 🤍 I finally chose myself and booked a full day at @float41_exhale in Cromwell – and you guys… I actually fell asleep while floating. That is how relaxed my body got. 💆🏻‍♀️ Float 41 is CT’s premier wellness destination offering float therapy, infrared sauna, and contrast therapy. Every single experience is backed by science to regulate your nervous system, melt away stress, and promote deep healing. They provide everything – towels, robes, all the products. You just show up and surrender. 🍃 This is your reminder to slow down – because you can never pour from an empty cup. 🫧 📍 17 Shunpike Road, Cromwell CT #thingstodoinct #spaday #momlife #sauna #coldplunge wellness | mothers day | connecticut | slow life | day spa | infrared sauna |

Give mom something she actually wants this Mother’s Day; peace, quiet, and a full reset 💕 Float Forty One in Cromwell and West Hartford is the ultimate wellness escape. Think zero gravity, deep relaxation, and a full mind + body recharge that helps with stress, sleep, recovery, and overall well-being For Mother’s Day, they’re offering: Three 90-minute float sessions + an infrared sauna session for just $220 (normally $370) Limited-time special and you’ll want to grab it before it’s gone! Whether she needs to unwind, recover, or just take a moment for herself, this is a gift that truly delivers! Life’s too short to be hangry… or stressed 🧘‍♀️

Everyone keeps asking me what actually works for recovery…so I’m testing everything until I find my holy grail. Episode 2 and I didn’t expect this one to hit like it did. @float_41 combines sauna + cold plunge + float therapy… and somehow made me do a cold plunge for FIVE minutes (??) at a time Not saying I’m healed… but I walked out feeling like a new person. Still testing everything, but this one’s staying in rotation. 👇 Drop your go-to recovery spots or things I need to try next And shout out @julesdenby for hyping me up and taking this stunning footage the whole time 🔥❤️ #recoverytok #wellnessroutine #coldplunge #selfcarehabits #fitnessrecovery

Today, we celebrate something so much bigger than just a birthday… JJ and his twin brother Kobe are turning 6 🤍 There’s something so sacred about a child’s birthday — the innocence, the joy, the milestones we sometimes take for granted. It’s a day meant for laughter, cake, and making memories they’ll carry forever… and that’s what makes this one feel even more meaningful. JJ is just a little boy through and through — he loves dirtbikes, Spiderman, being outside, getting dirty, and living life exactly the way a little boy should… carefree, adventurous, and full of life. And that’s what makes his story hit even deeper 🤍 Last year, these boys spent their birthday in a hospital room while JJ bravely fought Burkitt lymphoma. And today… we get to celebrate LIFE, strength, and the kind of love that carries a family through the unimaginable. This birthday means more. It hits deeper. It reminds us what truly matters. While today is shared by both JJ and Kobe, this moment honors JJ’s journey — and every single candle on that cake represents the love, support, and prayers that have surrounded this family every step of the way. Lighting each candle is more than a wish… it’s hope. It’s strength. It’s a community standing beside them saying we’ve got you. Happy 6th birthday JJ & Kobe… you are both so deeply loved 🤍 Help me fill this space with birthday wishes for these two incredible boys 🎂🤍

Mother’s Day is coming up and if you’re trying to find something a little more meaningful than the usual… this is your sign to shop local. Connecticut has so many incredible small businesses, and these are a few of my personal favorites for gifting experiences, treats, and thoughtful finds your mom will actually love. Whether she’s into relaxing spa days, getting lost in a bookstore, trying something new, or just spending quality time together… there’s something here for every kind of mom. If you love discovering hidden gems, local spots, and unique things to do around CT, stick around! I am always sharing fun Connecticut finds! If you’re looking for something more personalized, DM me a little about your mom and I’ll help you find the perfect gift. Happy Wandering #Connecticut #CTsmallbusiness #ShopLocalCT #MothersDayGiftGuide #SupportLocal

Still taking in everything that this journey has been 🤍 What started as “hey we would love to have you as one of this years visionaries” turned into something so much bigger because of the people who chose to believe in it. Every business that said yes, every vendor who gave their time and talent, every donation, every share, every conversation… it all mattered. There were so many moving pieces behind this night, and seeing it all come together was a reminder that when a community rallies around a purpose, it creates something you simply can’t manufacture it has to be felt. To everyone who has supported this campaign in any way whether you were in the room or cheering us on from afar you are part of this story. And it’s one I won’t ever take lightly. And a very special thank you to each and every person or business who donated to our raffle and silent auction! WOW did you guys come through! We’re carrying this momentum all the way through to the end 🤍 If you would like to attend our gala please message me! #StrongerTogether #CommunityDriven #GratefulHeart #BloodCancerUnited #PurposeInAction

What a big, beautiful evening with really good people. 🤍 Whether someone you love has been touched by blood cancer — or you’ve simply got blood in your veins —this cause matters. @autumnelmazi — founder of @ctkidspassport — brought together a powerhouse team of women from every corner of her life. And together? We showed up. We sourced the state to gather incredible goodies for our guests—each one rooted in a local business, a story, a yes. Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing each piece of it—every contributor, every detail—so you can really see the community that brought Sips for Strength to life. 🤍 📸 @photographybymels_ . . #ct #ctcommunity #ctwinetrail #bloodcancerunited #ctfoodie
