Spring, spring, spring! Happy last day of April, everyone.

Spring in full bloom, walking through the streets of Philly’s Old town🌸 . . . . #springvibes #springaesthetic #philadelphia #traveljournal #fashionandart #fashionlover #traveladdict #traveldiaries #fashionaddict #newenglandblogger #newenglandinfluencer #ctblogger #styleblog #lifestyleblogger #travelblogger
Bracing myself for a tough day. At least the spring flowers are beginning to bloom. Today I’m leaning into self care; making sure I nourish my body and my soul with good food, a mini walk, morning meditation, music and mini breaks throughout the day to regulate my system. I also washed my hair this morning so that’s a win. Take care of yourself, my friend, even if it’s little things like eating breakfast instead of skipping it or going for a ten minute walk. It could be as simple as celebrating getting out of bed in the morning by making your bed. We’ve got this. . . #forsythia #springflowers #toughday #selfcare #wellbeing #livelovely #ctblogger
🌞🍹 As the thermometer inches its way up, it’s starting to feel less like spring and more like someone spilled tequila outside. Yes, folks, the air is practically begging for a salt rim and a lime wedge! 🌵🧂 With Cinco de Mayo on the horizon, I’ve embarked on a noble quest: to find the *perfect* spicy margarita to celebrate. 🔥🥂 I’m talking about the kind of drink that kicks back with just the right amount of spice. Something that makes you say, “Wow, was that a sip or a salsa dance?” I need your wisdom! If you know a spot that mixes up a fiery, flavorsome margarita that can make my tastebuds do the cha-cha, drop the name in the comments. Let’s make this May one for the memory books — or at least one that’s hard to remember! 😉👇 Tag your favorite margarita joint below! #ctblogger #ctfoodie #ctfoodlovers #tequila #ctlocalbusiness #203local #margarita #summersips #spicymargarita #ctfoodblogger Photo: @geronimotequilabar
Just a haircut is not just a haircut! What a difference it can make.

I can’t think of a better place than Frida in West Hartford to enjoy Taco Tuesday! On my most recent visit I had the shredded chicken tacos with a side of rice and beans. It was so delicious and went perfect with the guac and watermelon mocktail! I can’t wait until my next visit to Frida, who’s coming with? 🌮😍❤️ 📍@fridawesthartford #ctfoodies #ctrestaurant #cteats #ctfoodlover #cteatsout #localeats #ctblogger #visitct #ctfood #delicious #ctfoodtravels #eastcoastfoodies #yelpconnecticut #foodie #foodblogger #foodfluencer #foodiesofinstagram #foodphotography #newengland #connecticut #connecticuteats #connecticutlife #foodiesinternationalchat #eatwithfoodiez #worldpod #teamhappyfoodies #tacotuesday #tacos #westhartford
Life lately • I’m going through some life changes also really trying to figure out how to navigate the influencer space right now. There is so much going on in my life personally and also, global issues have been weighing heavily on me. Just a little catch up for those who may see this: 1. My monthly treat to myself is my @nuuly — it’s still so fun curating a revolving closet each month 2. @roozengaarde rde this weekend walking through tulip fields 3. More tulips 4. A fresh selfie with my mom walking my baby 5. High tea with @georgia_a_leaf at My Cup Of Tea in Burlington, WA 6. Making simple but nutritious meals for the baby is a daily struggle — half of our food is on the floor but that’s part of it 7. Morning Hikes bring so much clarity to the start of my day 8. Still breastfeeding, lost a bag of milk because I forgot to store it, very sad 😢 9. What was supposed to be Shiloh’s smash cake but she didn’t even want to touch it lol 😂 10. @freshbeauty Lotus youth preserve dream face and serum are AMAZING! #photodump #newmamalife #newmama #ctblogger #ctbloggerbabes

I believe that one of the reasons I have been a little unhappy over the past year is that I do not have much time for my blog. It’s my creative outlet and my soul has been missing it! Which is why I’m making my blog a priority this year starting now. You may have noticed I have been posting a lot more lately on Instagram. On my blog I share a lot of New England and travel content, but since the pandemic and starting my new job last year our travels have been fewer and closer to home. So I have decided that I am going to be sharing more of our local adventures around Litchfield county. I will also continue to share the things I enjoy; simple living, style, and DIY projects to name a few. I hope you will enjoy it as I do. . . #blig #blogger #ctblogger #newenglandblogger #lifesttleblogger #connecticut #connecticutcharm #litchfieldct #visitlitchfieldct #litchfieldhills #springinconnecticut #travelblog #travelblogger

Weekend report
𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐄 𝐌𝐘𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 🎤 It was time for me to jump on and introduce myself to all of my new followers and to say heyyyyy to everyone who’s been following me for a hot minute. 🫶🏼 🌿 My name is Suzanna, but Suzie works too. I started behind the chair in 2007 and been slaying the hair game since. I opened my doors to Color.Me.Madddd in August 2018 and recently relocated my salon to @solasalons in Rocky Hill, CT. 🌺 I specialize in lived in hair, custom/vivid colors, highlights, @brazilianblowouts smoothing treatments, tape in hair extensions, and wash + styles. 🐾 When I’m not at the salon, I enjoy spending time with the people I love the most or snuggling with my cats, Demon & Little Momma while trying to figure out what to eat or what to watch on TV (the struggle is real 🥹) Other days, you can find me in the gym lifting something really heavy because why the f*ck not. 🪩 Hair has given me so much creative freedom and opportunities that I never thought were possible. It helped push me outside of my comfort zone to not only be a great stylist, but a better person than I was yesterday. I’ve learned so many new things and met so many amazing people along the way. I’m beyond grateful to be where I’m at today and I wouldn’t trade this for anything in the world. 💫 Thank you so much for being here and supporting every little thing I do. I’m so excited to grow with you. For those wondering; I’m always accepting new clients and would love to have the chance to give you the hair of your dreams so feel free to send me a message. To all of my existing clients; every time you refer your family & friends, it helps build my business a little bit more! 🤍 . . . #connecticuthair #connecticuthairstylist #ctsalon #ctcolorist #cthair #cthairartists #cthairstylist #ctbeauty #ctblogger #althairstylist #vividhaircolor #balayageartist #livedinhair #hairextensions #cosmoprofbeauty #healthyhair #healthyhairstylist #behindthechair #licensedtocreate #modernsalon #beautylaunchpad #saloncentric #beauty #hair #tattoos #inked #art #artistsoninstagram #meetandgreet #entrepreneur

It’s a pick-your-own farm so not only a fun experience but you get to bring the beauty home with you 🌷 @whisktopia was at the tulip farm so I was sure to grab some for the road!

Hellooooooooooooooo. Loving these in-between baby milestone sessions lately. I was SO happy to see this little guy for his 4 month session and can't wait to see him again at 8 months! It's SO easy to book the newborn and 1 year session and forget about all the little changes in-between. I'm thirlled to be able to offer this middle milestone sessions where baby is just so wide-eyed and smiley and just generally happy to be here. Can't wait to see all my little ones this year as they grow. #ctblogger #ctmoms #hartfordhasit #ctsmallbusiness #ctlocal #connecticutbusiness #ctvisit #ctphotographer #ctmaternityphotographer #connecticutmaternityphotographer #connecticutfamilyphotographer #westhartfordct #oldsaybrookct #newenglandfamily #ctgrown #shorelinect #madisonct #oldlymect #ignewengland #ctfamilyphotos #connecticutgram #connecticutliving westbrookct

ION in Middletown is definitely the place to go if you are looking for a delicious vegan brunch! Last Sunday we had a great time brunching there and enjoyed several selections from their menu. I went with the tofu scramble plate which came with tofu scramble, bacon, homefries, and an english muffin, all of the vegan variety of course! I also had a very refreshing glass of orange juice and we shared their amazing cornbread! I think the cornbread was my favorite part of the meal! 🍽️🌱❤️ 📍@ionrestaurant #brunch #breakfast #brunchgram #breakfastgram #ctfoodie #ctrestaurant #cteats #cteatsout #localeats #ctblogger #ctvisit #ctfood #ctfoodlovers #connecticuteats #sundaybrunch #ctbrunch #delicious #eastcoastfoodies #yelpconnecticut #ctbites #brunchgoals #foodiesinternationalchat #brunching #brunchtime #eatwithfoodiez #worldpod #teamhappyfoodies #vegan #veganbrunch #middletownct
Feel like I need to go a few times before I review a place. (I’m not Kieth Lee 😭). So instead here’s a “Zilly Place To Go”. We went to @mi_gusto_newhaven and had a great time!

Lately I have been staying up way too late, trying to capture some time to myself in the day. I’ve heard the term “revenge bedtime” to describe the act of staying up to get back at the work day. It doesn’t feel as forceful as revenge though. More like desperation, kind of like doom scrolling but with hours of the day instead of a cell phone screen. Although I do that too. By the time work is done and dinner is cooked and eaten and dishes are clean it’s time for sleep and I just want more hours in the day. Can I hit the pause button? . . #revengebedtimeprocrastination #bedtimeprocrastination #mentalhealth #selfcare #rest #ctblogger #ctbloggerbabes #simpleliving #forsythia #workweek #millenialburnout #burnout
Thankfully I was able to enjoy this #WorkWearWednesday spring/summer ☀️ look after that brief rainfall this morning & also managed to avoid any coffee ☕️ spills on the white pants! This poplin shirt is so good but sold out from Madewell but I linked some other options. (I was able to snag mine in store a couple weeks ago). My pants are on sale from Jcrew outlet.

It’s hard to tell in these pics but these floral Time and Tru cross back dresses are super pretty for the spring! They immediately caught our eye in store and we love that they are under $20. We’ve got them linked over on our LTK.

I’ve been to Taste by Spellbound several times to pick up some delicious sweets but this was the first time I enjoyed my desserts in their West Hartford shop. The cupcake and macaron were both the perfect afternoon treat and paired well with their refreshing strawberry lemonade. If you get the chance you must visit and enjoy the warm and welcoming vibes at TBS! 🩷🧁💚 📍@tastebyspellbound #brunch #breakfast #brunchgram #breakfastgram #ctfoodie #ctrestaurant #cteats #cteatsout #localeats #ctblogger #ctvisit #ctfood #ctfoodlovers #connecticuteats #ctfoodtravels #sundaybrunch #ctbrunch #delicious #eastcoastfoodies #yelpconnecticut #ctbites #brunchgoals #foodiesinternationalchat #brunching #brunchtime #eatwithfoodiez #worldpod #teamhappyfoodies #cupcakes #westhartford
Almost one month with baby Chara. (Pronounced Kira btw. My husband ended up naming her). Can’t remembered the last time I showered or washed my hair. But at least I brushed my teeth and got out of bed this morning. I sleep about 4 hours a day, if I’m lucky I have mastered the art of doing things w one hand. In fact, I’m doing it now. Chara loves to fall asleep in my arms She gives the best smiles She has very strong legs She has her mother’s side eye Everyone has an opinion She has a strong grip and has learned to control her pacifier. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s holding her own bottle by next week A new fear is unlocked every day I cry for everything now Baby cuddles are the best @my_introverted_travels #maternity #ctblogger #ctbloggerbabes #explore #explorepage

For me, family sessions are all about capturing the nuances of your loving relationships. I don't believe that photographs are meant to capture how people look. They are rather a way to capture how it *feels* to be you as a family in this moment in time. Is your child still small enough that you can gather him in your arms in an all-encompassing hug, or hoist him on your shoulders? Is your little girl still crinkling her nose the same way she did at 6 months? What's the unique way your partner makes your child laugh? These things are so precious because they are fleeting (take it from a mom with two teens!). Your photographs will help you time travel one day. * * * * * #newhaveninsta #newhavenct #guilfordct #ctblogger #connecticutgram #shorelinect #ctphotographers #ctfamilyphotographer #ctkids #ctmoms #ctsmallbusiness #ctfamilyphotos #connecticutfamilyphotography #ctlife #guilfordphotographer #shorelineconnecticut #branfordphotography #newhavenphotographer
