VICEROY, RIVIERA MAYA

Published by Nicole Isaacs

A 45 minute drive from Cancun, at the end of a few hidden roads, lies the Viceroy Riviera Maya—a beautiful lush sanctuary in paradise. The resort has an open-air lobby and their beautiful villas are surrounded by the lush jungle of the Riviera Maya. Just a moments walk away from the beach, The Viceroy property gives you the best of both worlds. The resort is set on the beautiful sand beaches of Playa Del Carmen. The poolside beach bar is where I spent most of my day soaking up the sun with a pina colada in hand. The resort is located just a quick 10-15 minute drive from the heart of Playa Del Carmen, but I felt no need to leave the property throughout my stay. The food at the Viceroy was excellent. Every morning I enjoyed fresh fruit juices and an authentic Mexican breakfast—the huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, and carne asada were amazing. For dinner I indulged in mojacuete, tacos and fresh guacamole. I kept lunch light with appetizers like seafood ceviche, shrimp quesadillas and …

MIAMI FOR HALLOWEEN

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I was in New York for a few meetings and to spend my sister’s birthday with her. Since I was already on the East Coast I decided to take a quick flight to Miami to meet up my friends for Halloween weekend. I had never done Halloween in Miami before, so was excited to let loose and go out. I never go out to parties or clubs anymore, and I never really drink. I am such a homebody and have already gotten all the clubbing and partying out of my system, so this Miami trip was definitely a shock to my body (ha!). I ended up at Liv three nights in a row, and by the third night I literally couldn’t hang and went home early. I’m officially a grandma. I didn’t take so many pictures this weekend because it was all fun, but I wanted to share a few pics anyway…Check my Instagram for outfit and bikini details: @NicoleIsaacs

ISRAEL

Published by Nicole Isaacs

Israel has a very special place in my heart. I grew up traveling to Israel during my summers off school to visit my dad’s side of the family and I have so many amazing memories that have impacted my life and helped shape who I am today. Israel is, and will forever be a part of me. I feel very connected when I go there, and I think it’s truly one of the most fascinating and beautiful places in the world. Many people I talk to don’t know anything about Israel or what it’s like. They call me “brave” when I tell them I am going, and think it’s only desert, sand dunes and war tanks. It’s crazy to think how the media has portrayed Israel, and it’s sad that the majority of people have major misconceptions of how it really is. My goal for this trip was to show Israel how I know it. If I could live anywhere in the world besides America, I would choose Israel in a heart beat. There is so much history …
