Mesa para dos, por favor! 🤗 • As a vegetarian, I sometimes have difficulty finding food when I travel. I’ll occasionally try fish here and there but I’m very picky about it. That’s why I do lots of research for each new place in order to find the freshest meals wherever I go. I still want to try local cuisines as much as possible and by principle refuse to eat anywhere that isn’t authentically local. 😋 We’ve had some wonderful meals during our time in Puerto Rico (and a few not so wonderful, but you can’t expect it all). The first lunch we had at @verdemesa was a lovely farm-to-table experience where I tried chayote (a type of squash) with mango and lime. We also had stellar meals at @santaellapr and @marmaladerestpr, both of which I would highly recommend trying if you’re in San Juan! Some of my favorite dishes included the alcapurrías (mashed plantains and taro root fried and topped with crab meat), the quesito (a sweet cheese-filled pastry twist), a vegan “pasteles” dish (a vegan plantain and vegetable ‘tamale’ in mole sauce), and a “baked paradiso” (passionfruit ice cream over a chocolate-pistachio crust surrounded by soft baked meringue)! 🍽 Sometimes I feel like I live my life meal to meal with some activities in between...and I’m totally okay with that. 😅 • #puertorico #travelblog #discoverpuertorico #prgram #prturismo #culturetrip #puertoricogram #whateverpr #placespuertorico #foodiesofinstagram #beautifulcuisines #passionpassport #letsgosomewhere #goopgo #traveladdicted #gglocalgems #tlpicks #theprettycities #traveldeeper
Blondes aren’t the only ones having all the fun! 😉 • Surprise! I’m a redhead now! 👩🏻‍🦰 I’ve always loved red hair and I’ve thought about dying my hair red for years now—have even photoshopped my hair red on several occasions to see how I liked it—yet never quite had the courage to leave behind my blonde locks. But for whatever reason recently I just suddenly felt like “f*** it, why not?!” and headed over to David at @fourteenjay to make it happen! He is the best colorist and knew exactly what to do. Plus I knew I could trust the @aveda team to make it turn out the way I wanted (no mishaps where I’d wind up looking like a clown). Now I can finally live up to my middle name—Ariel! 🤗🧜🏻‍♀️ To help maintain the color and keep my hair healthy, I’m sticking with all Aveda products, including their newly reformulated Rosemary Mint Purifying Shampoo and Weightless Conditioner. I love Aveda products because they’re sustainably produced using only the most natural ingredients that make your hair the best it can be! 🙆🏼‍♀️ What do you think of the color?! ☺️ • http://liketk.it/2zlNX #liketkit @liketoknow.it #haircolor #styledbyaveda #redhead #avedacolor #whateverpr #iamatraveler #puertoricogram #culturetrip #letsgosomewhere #traveladdicted #discoverpuertorico #prgram #placespuertorico #travelblog #suitcasetravels #gglocalgems #puertorico #passionpassport #goopgo #prturismo #mydomainetravels #tandctravel #designerfashion #whatiwore #darlingescapes #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #resortwear
