EDINBURGH & GLASGOW AT THE BALMORAL HOTEL, SCOTLAND

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I went to Scotland during Christmas time and LOVED it! I stayed in Edinburgh at the Balmoral Hotel which was highly recommended  by multiple people. The hotel is beautiful, it looks like a palace from the outside. Edinburgh during Christmas time in my opinion, was the best time to go. The streets were festive and lit up with lights, and there was a Christmas Market right next to our hotel with a Ferris wheel, an ice skating rink , delicious food and desserts and several handmade jewelery vendors and  “trinkets” for sale. It was so charming. The historical architecture in Edinburgh is beautiful. The buildings and castles are from hundreds of years ago, and there are traditional Scottish pubs and bars that have been there for centuries as well. When you walk the streets of Edinburgh you feel like you are taken back in time. The “Old Town” was built in the 15th/16th century and the “New Town” was built closer to the 1800’s. It’s a small city so in one day you can get …

LONDON TOWN|CORINTHIA HOTEL

Published by Nicole Isaacs

London during the Holidays is amazing. The city is filled with beautiful lights and festive decorations, christmas markets, and the streets are buzzing with holiday shoppers and beautiful store fronts. It felt very similar to New York during the Holidays, but with a bit more charm and architecturally more aesthetic. I spent a couple days there, but my outings were mostly at night hosting events and parties. We did take a London City tour one day which took us to all the famous London sights like Buckingham Palace, The London Bridge, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben, Tower of London, The London Eye & The National Gallery. We visited BBC Radio headquarters as well as the Tim Westwood radio station which was an experience. I had to make a stop at the famous Harrod’s to do a little shopping as well. I stayed at the Corinthia Hotel which I highly recommend. The hotel is exquisite, and the spa (ESPA Life), is exceptional. This was my 2nd visit to London, and I will be back soon!

PLAYA DEL CARMEN & TULUM | MEXICO

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I went to Playa Del Carmen / Tulum for a day and a half! That’s how I roll. I was in and out, and it’s not the easiest to get there, but in the short amount of time I had, I did a lot. I did an excursion package called “Xplore”, which included zip lining, ATV’ing, and swimming in underground caves and Cenotes. We did it at night and it was so much fun! I wore a bathing suit because you are wet the entire time. Even zip lining you go through water. There were a bunch of different zip lines and it took 45 minutes to do all of them.  It was a cool and a different experience to zip line, ATV and swim in underground caves at night. Being in the caves felt tranquil and beautifully creepy at the same time. Playa Del Carmen is a really fun beach town with tons of bars, night clubs and shopping. The streets were crazy at night and the clubs and bars were packed. Tulum is …

ADJUSTING IN LA

Published by Nicole Isaacs

When I am not traveling, I make the best out of my time spent in LA. I eat and venture out to new restaurants on my food #bucketklist, I explore different areas of the city and find new , fun activities to do, but I also try and take care of myself and get back to a proper and healthy lifestyle. Traveling can be tiring. I also tend to gain a few pounds when I travel because I don’t want to deprive myself of an experience in trying something new- I want to get the most out of everywhere I go. Flying on airplanes all the time is really hard on my body, and I’ve been flying a lot lately. Once in a while I like to get massages and visit a chiropractor to get adjusted when I get back to LA just to reset my body. The other day I visited Atlas Health Care Center to get my body  adjusted because I felt a little stiff. I was a little nervous at first getting my neck …
