This week marks EIGHT YEARS since starting When in Tampa 🥳 I’m grateful every day that I get to do what I love! I’ve gotten to meet so many amazing people & highlight some incredible businesses over the years! Also a little PSA: if you’re unhappy with your career, you CAN change it! I did accounting for 8+ years and knew I couldn’t do that forever. I stayed consistent with posting on here even when it was tough (balancing this & busy season as an accountant). You never know where taking that first step can lead you! Thanks for following along 💙

Brunch done right at @worldofbeer 🍳🥂 The Brisket Breakfast Burrito absolutely stole the show! The Chicken & Waffles came in a close second with its lightly crispy chicken and maple bourbon syrup 🧇 Their bottomless booze brunch for $18 is also a great deal! 🍾 Here’s everything we ordered: 🌯 Brisket Breakfast Burrito 🧇 Chicken & Waffles 🥩 Chimichurri Steak & Eggs 🍕 Southwest Sunrise Flatbread #whenintampa #tampabay #tampafoodie #tampabrunch #worldofbeer

Come with me to get a PRX facial at Forever Young! I never really dealt with acne growing up but I’ve been struggling recently with hormonal breakouts + acne scarring so I’m excited to see how @foreveryoungtampa will help improve my skin ✨ I’m currently doing their Elite Renewal Membership which includes a quarterly treatment of Diamond Glow, PRX, and Skinpen Microneedling. It’s a great long-term, manageable option if you’re looking for more advanced treatments 🙌🏼 This is my second month of actually staying consistent with my monthly facials! I did Diamond Glow last month and PRX this month which is definitely more spicy 😂 PRX is a non-injectable, biostimulator that’s applied topically to help tighten and brighten skin while targeting pigmentation, acne scarring, fine lines, redness, and overall texture. The flaking after has been real but I’m excited to see the results over time! 📍 @foreveryoungtampa #whenintampa #tampabay #tampamedspa #downtowntampa #foreveryoungtampa

NOW OPEN ☕️✨ I’m continuing my series with @cappylaw where we feature new businesses across Tampa Bay! Cappy Law is a personal injury law firm servicing the Tampa Bay Area. @ivrytampa just opened this week and I’m already loving this new addition to Tampa 🎉 Not only is the space beautiful, their coffee menu includes some fun cold foam flavors, plenty of different tea options, as well as flatbreads, toast and pastries! I ordered a vanilla latte (half sweet) with strawberry cold foam and it was delicious 🍓☕️ 📍 2307 S Dale Mabry Hwy Suite A, Tampa, FL 33629 #whenintampa #tampabay #tampacoffee #tampacoffeeshop #tampafl

Alessi Bakeries NEW location! 🥳 @alessibakery has been a Tampa staple since 1912! They recently moved into a massive new space just a few blocks away, where you can still get all the classics plus plenty of new additions!

I couldn’t believe how big the new location is and they now have 5 stations: bakery, cafe, deli, rotisserie and liquor bar! 📍 3003 W Cypress St, Tampa, FL 33609 #whenintampa #tampabay #tampafl #tampafoodie #tampafood
