Day 3 Rome: #Colosseum and the #RomanForum were breathtaking even the second time around! Served #RomanEmpire realness. Love a good guided tour to skip the lines and impressed by the sheer scale of everything!
🍹#HugoSpritz and #bruschetta to start the day off right from Cafe Dello Studente.
🍝Working on our mukbangs with squid ink pasta and mussels from Ristorante Le Caveau.

This weekend last year we were so grateful for friends and family near and far who celebrated our wedding!

Thankful for all the love and support of our marriage into the future ♥️

Second hand water bottles / kitchenware is weird for some, but if you’ve eaten at a restaurant …you are using communal cutlery. Mind over matter 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s a #thrifted fits and doing things @kingfishersparesort edition ✨ The Scandinavian-esque #hydrotherapy spa was magical with different temp pools, pressured massage waterfalls, eucalyptus steam and a salt mineral soak. The 1 hr experience is guided by an attendant so you get what feels like a private spa experience 🧖🏻‍♀️.

Have you ever gifted thrifted? 🎁Found lots of #newwithtags / still-in-packaging #thriftfinds in this WINS Beltline #thriftwithme finale!

In fact, I know several people who would prefer #thrifted gifts because they appreciate what it takes and how it supports the community. The time. The luck. The talent! 🤣

Plus it saves items from the landfill and the #thriftthrill is real! ♻️

You’ll be very surprised what treasures you’ll find ♥️

Happy holidays and happy thrifting! 🎄☃️❄️
