My 🫶🏼 for ESPRESSO MARTINIS came into FULL effect in 2023 🍸
The amount of espresso martini photos I have in my 📸 roll is a little embarrassing, BUT I have to share with you my TOP THREE FAVORITES ✨in Southwest Florida.
PS this was very hard to narrow down to just three 😩

In photo order…
1. and if you order the beignets, even better 🤣
2. and make sure you sit on their stunning patio 🤩
3. .naples don’t forget to order the mini grilled cheese + tomato soup ❤️

Do you have a FAVORITE in our area? Let me know in the comments and I’ll go give it a try 🤤

CLOUDY ☁️ DAYS = MOVIES 🍿

thought of it ALL when it comes to Movie Theaters 🎥

For starters, their seats are extremely comfortable! You can even reserve and pick your seats online.

For food, of course they offer your movie theater staples 🍿, BUT they also have a full menu that has burgers, pizzas, wings, etc. All of which you can order once you’ve sat in your seat.

Lastly, a full BAR! Yup, you can sip on a cocktail, wine, beer during your movie. 🍸

Take your movie theater experience to the next level + go visit 🤍

Hello 👋🏼 I think it’s time for a reintroduction! If you are new here, thank you for following. If you have been following for awhile, also thank you.

My name is DENISE, a Nashville Native 🤠living in sunny Southwest Florida (SWFL) 🌴

I started this page to showcase all of what beautiful SWFL has to offer! When I travel to different cities, I always look up similar accounts for ideas of things to do, eat, explore, etc. And then it dawned on me…HEY I CAN TOTALLY DO THIS TOO!

Although you won’t typically see my face on here, it’s ME 💁🏻‍♀️ + I promise to be completely genuine because I find that to be extremely important!

Aside from this post, I keep my life pretty private. A few things about me though…

🐶I am a Dog Mom to the bossiest 2 year old Mini Cockapoo named Franklin. Honestly, he’s my world + I probably need to cut back on spoiling him 🤣

👩🏻‍💻I have a full time job in the eCommerce industry. LOVE the digital space because it’s constantly changing!

☀️I LOVE Sundays! Brunch anyone?!

👚If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life it would be a baggy t-shirt + leggings. Cozy vibes, yes PLEASE!

🍷I am a Pinot Grigio lover, but will also never turn down a good Cosmo or Espresso Martini

🍽️ I’ll never turn down a dinner invite, partially because I can’t cook 🙃

🤓I weirdly LOVE change! I feel like I’m my best when it’s new + not comfortable.

Lastly, I 🤍 LOVE interacting with each of you! I get so excited when I see a new face, new comment or DM!

Thank you for being here + supporting me!
xx Denise

it’s winter time in most of the country, but
you are sitting outside in 70 degree
weather, enjoying your wine & apps with your favorite person.

On September 28, 2022 our world changed in Southwest Florida when Hurricane Ian destroyed our area. As many of you, I find myself still trying to accept what happened. Some days I’m emotional, mad, confused, etc. We lost lives, homes, businesses and now we are left with memories of what once was as we pick up the pieces. Many of the reasons why I fell in love with this area are featured in this reel. However, what isn’t featured is YOU and how RESILIENT you are!This community has stepped up in so many ways. Strangers helping strangers, small groups coming together to help clean up debris, donations and so much more. It’s been 6 months today, and although we still have a ways to go, I hope you are DAMN PROUD of what progress has been made. And if nothing else, allow yourself some GRACE…it’s been 183 days. SWFL STRONG 🤍⬇️Tag a friend, family member or business that you are so proud of! The extra support + kindness goes a long way!

We sure 🤍 our HOMETOWN 🌴
