Our First Day in Tulum, Mexico

Yesterday we arrived in Tulum, Mexico for an escape from the winter weather! The place we are staying is MAGICAL – it’s basically a huge treehouse on top of the Caribbean Sea. We have a hut with an oceanfront balcony overlooking the ocean. There are no showers here, just bathtubs (with a seashell for pouring water on yourself!) and at night, there are no electric lights, they come around and light candles all over your room instead. It’s such a refreshing change from what I’m used to, it’s forcing me to slow down and just enjoy each moment. (Also FYI – no wifi or TV in the rooms!)
This white cover-up maxi dress was one of the first items I ordered for the trip. I love love love the low back!  I’ve had the swimsuit for several years now and it’s still a favorite. 
I’ll be doing a review of our hotel in the next couple of weeks for those that are interested!
xoxo

    • Oh my gosh, congrats on your wedding! So exciting! Thanks so much! We are getting married at Ana y Jose in June! It's definitely been an adventure so far (and maybe a little, or a lot stressful). How was Zama's? We're trying to recommend other places for our guests to stay if they choose!
