Weekend Getaway with Palm Breeze #VacayEveryDay Wednesday 01 July, 2015
My famous jumping picture when we crossed the GA-FL line. Welcome to FLORIDA!
We were kind of contemplating it back and forth on whether we would go, tried to recruit friends…but it ended up just being Nia + I. We are pretty free-spirited with limited responsibilites so we said why not?! Nia researched the hotel room and I already had a loaner car from Madza so we drove the 5 hour distance to Jacksonville,FL. We literally picked our hotel as we were getting on the road and booked over the phone. Super spontaneous and I loved it.
Meet Nia my roadtrip weekend getaway buddy!
So we made it to Jacksonville,FL…put our clothes and bags in our hotel to head straight to Jacksonville Beach. We were so serious! We both craved a beach really bad. I have a flexible schedule I don’t work in a 9-5 office, but Nia does. She really wanted this getaway bad…unfortunately when you work in a 9-5 scheduled lifestyle its not the easiest to take off work. So Nia really wanted to come because she wouldn’t be able to take off for her own personal vacation for another 2 month!!! Isn’t that crazy?? So we definitely had to do this roadtrip for a peace of mind and a break away from ATL. We love Atlanta, but we were getting smothered in our city!
The beach at our feet
So I wanted to share this post with you all about how you should have a Vacay Everyday! As I stated earlier sometimes you can plan a vacation, but you have to wait or your job has to approve your time off vacation…so does that mean you have to wait until then to have a vacation? No??! Roadtrip it out like Nia + I did. We had to go to a beach…we couldn’t take anymore humidity in Atlanta.
Look I am not going to lie…when Nia + I got on the road…we didn’t do that many stops and didn’t pack a lot of snacks. So when we got to the beach we both made sure to bring our favorite cool down drink when we did get to Jacksonville Beach. I brought a Palm Breeze. Look I was going for the Palm theme obviously…I am beach crazy at this moment so even my drink has to match my mood. Palms + Breeze, two things that has nothing to do with Atlanta right now!
Palm Breeze is like a beer for women (lol)!
Palm Breeze sparkling alcohol spritz comes in two tropical flavors, Ruby Red Citrus and Pineapple Mandarin Orange
Palm Breeze is a flavored malt beverage (FMB). Which basically means it’s an alcoholic drink made with a malt base, kind of like beer.
Being the Gypsy Curly Mermaid I was meant to be
Look why not have a sparkling malt beverage on the beach? I am away from home and cooling off…I like to have a little bubbly every now and then and having this Palm Breeze was really refreshing as I sat and chatted in the sand with Nia. When I was done…back in the water I went…time to be a Curly Mermaid!
Here I am jumping again! Excited for my mini beach getaway!
Nia + I enjoying our spontaneous beach trip for the weekend
Nia + I enjoyed our little one night stay in Jacksonville,Fl. It was a real quick turn-around trip…we did go to one more beach the next day but we went home. It wasn’t some glamourous vacation, but it was a vacation enough to hold us over until our next one! Look if you planned a vacation but have to wait, or your job wont give you the time off earlier…take your own vacay! Don’t let yourself wait aroumd, looking at other people’s social media envying their vacations when you can take one of your own. I highly recommend a weekend getaway, even for one day…even if it’s not by a beach…even if it’s in your own city and you have to settle for a staycation…you need a break so take one! Stop waiting…stop pouting…stop wishing you can speed time up for your vacation to come. You can have an earlier vacation if you set your mind to it, and bring your spouse, friend or family member with you for your breakaway.
You are allowed to have a Vacay Everyday if you want to…you just have to find the peace you are looking for and go to it…you are not a hampster on a spinning wheel. You are human made to experience life and happiness at your own will. Again I am not saying book a vacation spontaneously or even do exactly what Nia + I did…find something or somewhere that can make you happy in the meantime until you can take the vacation you fully deserve to have.
Nia’s Glasses in the Sand like My Palm Breeze was in the sand
If you are inspired I suggest you have a get-up and go moment and have your vacay anyways! Take a Palm Breeze drink with you while you go!

It looks like you had a totally amazing girls weekend and I’m so jealous! That beach is just calling my name. And while I’ve never had Palm Breeze before, it looks like it would make any getaway even better!
It looks like you and Nia had a great mini vacation! I’m glad she was able to get away for the weekend. Palm Breeze sounds like the perfect vacation drink!
Oh, I love love love the beach! It is my dream to live close enough to one to be able to drive there within less than an hour. It looks like you had a fun time. I love the gypsy mermaid pic lol.
Never had a palm breeze before. I do think you both are having a blast in your photos. It looks like a good time. I like the bath suit cover up. Where can I get one?
I need to get to the beach and still have an entire month until our vacation, which just makes me jealous of the wonderful time you had! Thankfully I arranged a surprise staycation for my husband and I later this month to hold us over.
I can relate to Nia, I work in the 9-5 office and its hard to plan life outside that but I am doing what you doing some weekend getaways are all booked so I can enjoy by birthday month
This looks like so much fun! I miss being spontaneous, I crave it as I have to be very routine driven for my kids. I think I will use this post as inspiration for me to be more spontaneous my next kid free weekend. Also that drink is new to me, will have to see if it is around here!
it sounds like you had a fun weekend getaway! I have strong ties to Florida and have been there many times! I had never heard of Palm Breeze before, but you can reckon I will be hopping down to the shops to buy so I can try this very soon!
I know that this post is about Palm Breeze, but I am loving that swimsuit cover!!! Palm Breeze has never been my drink of choice, but I am game to give it a try and see if it will spark my fancy.
I never liked beer, but I think I could handle a flavored malt. You look gorgeous!
That sounds good to me! I will have to try this over the summer.

How fun and relaxing. I love the jump shots, makes me want to jump too, lol. Thanks for sharing.
We actually decided to have a staycation this year, rather than go on a trip. None of us were feeling the packing or the travelling.
I REALLY need to plan something. We haven’t been on vacation in a long time, even just a quick overnight trip somewhere.
I’m not a drinker, but this looks pretty good. I haven’t been on a vacation in TOO long. One is long overdue!

Looks like a fun trip! I love spontaneous road trips but it is hard to find people who are able to do those.
Yum those drinks sound perfect for those nice days at the beach. That pineapple/ mandarin combo just sounds way too good!

I don’t drink beer, but this actually looks pretty tasty. And you look like you’re having a ton of fun on the beach.
It’s nice to make everyday special! Looks like you had a great time!
It’s been way too long since we took a quick family trip! Looks like you had a great time!
Aww, I miss the beach so much. I want to go too this weekend and bring some beer.
I LOVE the FL beaches! They are so much better than the dirt beaches we have in my neck of the woods!
Looks like y’all had a fabulous time! I have been itching to be at the beach with my toes in the sand. By the way your hair is beautiful!
I love the photos of you under the Florida sign and jumping in the ocean! These Palm Breeze drinks look yummy!

Wow, seems like you had a great time! I can’t wait to hit the beach this weekend as well. And of course, I’m bringing Palm Breeze drinks with me.
I like the name alone! I’d try it, absolutely!
We love to go to the beach. We’re heading that way soon. I will have to buy these and try them with my friends when I go!
I would love a mini beach getaway. Impressed at how high you can jump in water.
LOL, I love the pictures! I wish our friends could just go for the weekend, it would be a blast!
I need to organize a beach day with my friends. It is a great way to spend a day relaxing. These are great photos of your day at the beach.
I am so ready for a weekend getaway and would love to visit the beach! I think it’s about time for me to take a trip!
I love the beach and am super jealous of your pics!! LOL!! That Palm Breeze looks super yummy too!!

It looks like you guys had so much fun! I want to go to the beach so bad, hopefully I can this summer.
It looks like you had such a great getaway! I love weekend getaways with my honey!
I’ve never had a Palm Breeze before either! It sounds like a yummy drink!
The beach is one of the best getaways. Great for kids to safely roam and play, and awesome to just sit back and relax even nap.
