Cala De Mar Resort, Ixtapa Mexico

Allie Beckwith May 21, 2018

OMG I cannot believe this was my first time to MEXICO! What a truly incredible place. So I'm going to start this off with a little story. I think about the universe and what you put out there, you get back, the law of attraction and many more things like that, ALL the time. One of my favourite types of talks are all of these things. So you wanna talk Universe, hit me up. If you are an avid Instagram story watcher, you may have seen me go on about how I want to go on a relaxing vacation, randomly a few weeks ago. I literally just felt in a bit of a rut, Justin and I's schedules were off and we were barely seeing each other, and all of my work can be done remote. I just had an itch to get out of town and lay by a beach. So basically I told YOU GUYS this over the internet, and get a phone call 24h later saying "Hey! Heard you wanted a vacation, this film summit in Mexico just came up with one more space, you need to go." Well hey, ok yes flights are booked. LOL. I went a few days early to really soak up the relaxation end of the trip before the film summit. The ULTIMATE relaxation resort is CALA DE MAR! Holayyyyy. This is the most beautiful resort I have ever seen in my entire life, let alone STAYED AT. Wow.

I partnered with Cala De Mer to show you guys this hidden wonder of Mexico on the Pacific Coast. I stayed in the Penthouse Suite and it was so magical. The staff treated me like gold, surprising me daily with little treats and drinks at my door. So accommodating to arranging an area to paint and relax by the pool, and went above and beyond in every aspect of my stay. All I can say is WOW.

The view from every angle of this resort is incredible. I talked the staff's ears off about how jealous I am of their workplace and views. I just couldn't imagine that be where I was working every single day. It's crazy.

I had the best massage of my life at Cala De Mar and the spa was so so gorgeous. I relaxed in the spa before and after my appointments, and really could have spent all day right there. Lol.

The food was amazing. There are 3 different restaurants on the resort, with the availbility for full room service at any hour, night or day. This was amazing. While I did venture to the restaurants, I totally ordered to my room a zillion times for snacks, drinks, dessert and coffeeeeeeee.

I think the photos speak for themselves, so I'll let you just look at those. If you have ANY questions about the resort, or location or booking at Cala De Mar, send me a message! I would loveeee to help you, and can maybe hook you up with a deal ;) 

You NEED to follow them on Instagram to see all the angles of this place, and to keep reminding you to put it on your bucket list!! You can find them on Instagram: @calademarixtapa

Argus Audiology: Everything you need to know about your hearing!
March 27, 2020

When Argus Audiology reached out to me a while ago I was a little unsure about how we could partner. I’m young, why do I need to go get my hearing checked out, it really made no sense to me- at first. The more I started to think about it and as a few months went by I really started to mention to Justin more and more that I DID think I should get my hearing checked after all, (he IS always saying I'm never listening to him lol).

Travel: A weekend in Chicago, Illinois
October 1, 2019

Hey guys! I am SO excited to talk about this recent trip to Chicago. Chicago was a city I had never been to before, and I didn’t think there was much there that would be exciting. But, I was totally wrong! Chicago is a beautiful city that I now can’t wait to go back to. We had 3 days to experience it all and everything we recommend from where to stay from where to get your coffee is all below!

Home Series: Master Bathroom Reveal
July 3, 2019

IT’S HAPPENING! We are finally finished the shared master bathroom! I am so excited and we have been enjoying the finished product for about a week now, just putting together the final touches. If you remember from the original home tour when we moved in, the whole house had so much wood, and was just outdated. All of the rooms, bathroom included, were a great size and pretty good layout. They just needed a little refresh!

Art hacks
June 27, 2019

Through the many years of putting my thoughts and ideas on paper & canvas, I’ve grown long lasting relationships with supplies that allow me to create all my works that I know and love. Every artist out there knows the struggle of finding that perfect white paint that will remain faithful, or that one fine tip black pen that perfectly adds detail to their acrylics on canvas. Today I’m here to share my go-tos!

My sunless tanning routine
June 15, 2019

Hey guys!! This may be my most frequently asked question of all time, maybe tied with hair extensions (and that ones coming soon too!) Lol. I have been using this tanning foam for years and I absolutely love it. It makes you SO dark, immediately, and then develops even darker over the following few hours. The price is what seriously knocks it out of the park. It is the most affordable that I’ve ever found and no other ones even compare to it’s price.

Hi guys! SO excited to share this process with you. We were so stuck on what to do for our kitchen backsplash and I am so tired of seeing white subway tile in kitchens. LOL. I knew I wanted something solid coloured and that didn’t take away from anything else like our marble or butcher block.

My 3 Month Hair Growth Journey
April 11, 2019

Hi guys! Honestly I never thought I would ever be in a place to FINALLY talk about my hair growth. Lol. It has been such a struggle for me, for literally years. I could never understand it, my hair dressers could never understand it. People would always say it was probably because of my extensions, or because I would bleach it, or that it was growing. I never believed any of the above lol. My arguments were: As much as you see me with my extensions in, in photos or at events, is maybe 2 times per month. I do mainly all of my shooting in one day for Instagram & the blog. And I very rarely get ready and go anywheres Lol. I work from home every day barley brush my hair. So to think that my extensions were ruining my hair, just did not convince me. Bleaching it, of course dries your hair out, so I took 6+ month long breaks between getting my hair done for the past, almost 2 years, and still nothing. I did frequent hair treatments to make sure the moisture was locked in and that my ends were never getting to dry.
