Like a true Miami girl, I basically live in bathing suits (thus the endless spray tans, Barry’s Bootcamp sweat fests, FlyWheel classes, Pilates sessions, salads and obsessing over my weight — I’m working on that bad habit!). On Fridays I take mental health days also know as “Fancy Friday” (I highly recommend joining the revolution) and hit either The Standard (pictured here) or Soho Beach House. Essentially, I’ll hustle really hard Monday through Thursday and get all my work done so I can just chill on Friyays.

I figured I’d snap some pics from one of my Fancy Fridays and share them with you all. I usually go with several close girlfriends where we’ll discuss everything from books to politics to the importance of silicon nipple guards to Bruce Jenner to Princess Charlotte to proper emoji use. You know, the really pressing issues in life.

For those of you who don’t work from home like moi and can’t finagle a half day off, I hope you take a little time for yourself at least once a week — it’s therapeutic and a great tool in grasping how to be present and just be.

For me, Fancy Fridays are synonymous with the philosophy behind the French term joie de vivre. It’s about the joy of conversation The joy of eating. The joy of friends. The joy of three (maybe four) glasses of Whispering Angel.

Here’s to the joy of living!
