Bruno Mars in Tampa with our girls for their FIRST concert 🥹🎤✨ and we had the absolute best time!

The forecast said rain… Tampa said humidity instead. 😭😂 We stayed dry, but my hair definitely did not survive.

Bruno: 10/10. Memories: 10/10. Hair: 0/10. 💀😂

Such a sweet core memory with our girls. 💕🎶✨

🇰🇷 SAVE THIS hidden bakery for your next trip to Seoul! 🍰✨

One of my favorite sweet stops in South Korea was Finandé, a charming bakery specializing in authentic French financiers.

I ordered the Classic French Butter Financier, made with premium French butter, and it was everything you’d want…crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside, with the perfect almond flavor. It truly melts in your mouth. 🤍

The sweetest surprise? Meeting Belle, the owner’s adorable little dog, who made this stop even more memorable. 🐶💕

If you’re exploring the Mangwon neighborhood, this bakery is absolutely worth adding to your itinerary.

📍 Finandé (The Financier House)
37 Mangwon-ro 6-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
🕛 Open: 12 PM–6 PM
❌ Closed Mondays

Have you ever tried a French financier? Let me know below! 👇

✨ Seoul has completely captured my heart, and having Conrad Seoul as my home away from home has made this trip even more unforgettable.

After spending my days exploring the vibrant streets, historic palaces, and hidden gems of South Korea, I get to return each evening to my Deluxe King Corner Suite…a space that’s equal parts elegant, peaceful, and incredibly comfortable. The panoramic city views are the perfect backdrop to unwind after a day of adventure.

One of my favorite experiences has been the Pet Maison Package for my daughters dog. From the thoughtfully curated pet amenities to the luxurious little details, Conrad truly knows how to create a stay that’s unlike any other. Even if you’re traveling with a furry companion, they’ve thought of everything.

To top it all off, I’ve been treating myself to the spa and an incredible Korean facial…exactly the kind of relaxation I needed between sightseeing days. It’s the perfect balance of exploring one of the world’s most exciting cities while having a five-star sanctuary waiting for you at the end of the day.

If you’re planning a trip to South Korea and looking for a luxury hotel that delivers exceptional service, beautiful accommodations, and unforgettable experiences, I can’t recommend Conrad Seoul enough.

This has truly been a stay I’ll never forget. 🇰🇷✨

Ps: the dog has a treadmill in the room😂💙

One thing about me… if there’s a unique café, I’m going. 🐑🤍🇰🇷
Today I visited Seoul’s famous sheep café, met the fluffiest little friends, and had my first strawberry bingsu—Korea’s iconic shaved ice dessert. 🍓🍧
Safe to say this experience was worth every bite and every smile. ✨

Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers we still love from earth while they watch us from Heaven. 🤍

Today marks 18 years since I lost my mom on May 10, 2008. She was only 51, and I was 27.

She battled stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, and deep down we knew our time together was becoming limited. That’s why we took mother-daughter trips to Jamaica two years in a row — creating memories while we still could. Before she passed, she made me a photo album from those trips, and to this day, I cry every time I look through it.

During hospice care, I held her hand through prayers and sat beside her for hours watching her sleep, terrified of the day her chest would no longer rise and fall. One day, while it was just the two of us home, she asked me to wheel her to the window so she could look outside one last time. That memory still breaks me.

I moved back home after college because she wanted me there, and I thank God every day that I listened.

One of my biggest regrets is not saying “I love you” more often. We showed love more than we spoke it. So let this be your reminder to say the words while you still can.

Living without a mother changes you forever, but the memories and love somehow keep carrying you forward.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. 🤍

Moms really are the heart of everything. 💐
The love, sacrifices, strength, late nights, patience, guidance, and the way we keep showing up even when we’re exhausted… that kind of value can’t be replaced.

Today isn’t just about flowers and gifts — it’s about celebrating how important we truly are. 🤍
So to every mom balancing life, work, family, healing, growing, and still pouring into everyone else… celebrate yourself today too. You deserve it. ✨

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful, strong women out there. 🌷 #MothersDay #mom #CelebrateMoms #SoftLife #WomenSupportingWomen #MomLife #SelfLove #Blessed by @barrewithtyra
