staying at a resort in cancun | wedding + getting sick


This is the last and final post in my little Mexico series! You can find the other two here and here. :) In this part I'm staying at a resort and there is the wedding which is the whole reason we came in the first place haha. 

It was all exclusive so of course the first thing we did when we arrived was get ice cream. This may have been before we actually ate breakfast. I'm not sure but that definitely sounds like us haha. 



The first thing we did was meet up with some of our cousins and go swimming. Then we went to the Tex Mex restaurant. This was very funny to me since I had just come from Texas but my cousins were from Canada and that's what they wanted to do so that's what happened lol. 


The first day we got there, that night I got super sick and couldn't walk and threw up a bunch. It wasn't pretty. The next day I was sick as well so I couldn't get any photos. 


The third day though I was thankfully better so we had a little photoshoot. 



You might recognize this one! It's my new profile picture. 



They all turned out really well and I'm quite happy about it! 



Then it was wedding timmmmme. It was on a rooftop overlooking the ocean. As you might be able to guess it was a really nice ceremony. :)


This is my little cousin Mya with my parents. Ahhh I love her so much. 


After the wedding we took a whole little group photo with my grandparents and aunts and uncles. 


They gave out these fans before the wedding and I couldn't pass up that kind of photo opportunity. 


My little sis and uncle!


A big cousin picture with all of the childrens.





Then we went down to the beach for the reception! 


It was really cute set up!!


They spelled my name wrong but it's ok haha. 


There were lots of laughing and dancing and it was overall quite fun. 



The bride and groom! Misty (the bride) looked so crazy pretty!! 


And then it was time to go home. 


If you enjoyed this make sure to check out the vlog I did! I filmed a lot when I was sick and stuck in the room alone. I think it turned out really funny haha.

staying in a airbnb mansion + an eco friendly hotel in mexico

This the second post in my Mexico series! In my first post I talk about getting to stay in an adorable small town and see ancient Mayan ruins and cenotes and so much more! It was a lot of fun and I would recommend checking that post out first. In today's post we meet up with the rest of my family and stay in both a super cool hotel and a pretty Airbnb. Let's get started. :)


I also did a vlog which you can find above or right here. 

After the two hour bus ride from Valladolid (the other town we were staying in), we arrived in Cancun. 











We were the first people to arrive at the hotel! It's called El Rey Del Caribe and it's an eco-friendly hotel which I learned meant reusing water and do other stuff along those lines. It was basically a jungle and definitely one of the cutest hotels everrrrr. Since it was so pretty I thought it would be good to do a little photo shoot. The pics turned out really well (thanks dad)!! 


A bit later the rest of my family arrived including my adorable cousin Mya!! Her actual name is Samya named after my Tata but we all call her Mya. :) She's my first first cousin and I was so so so excited to meet her. She's pretty much the cutest thing ever. 


In the morning everyone met up and we took a group pic. We were all there for a wedding and it kind of turned into a family reunion haha. 


SHE'S SO CUTE AHHHHHH



We had a couple of hours before we could check into the Airbnb so we decided to walk around a bit. We had heard of a market near where we were staying so we decided to check it out. It turned out to be a total tourist trap and way too expensive but it was good we walked around haha.

And then it was time! The house was awesome and there was this gorgeous pool in the backyard! We pretty much just swam for the rest of the day. 


The next day we decided to check out a breakfast place nearby. It was pretty good but it was expensive and my dad and grandparents couldn't go so I just ended up getting a mango smoothie. 



I wanted to have a photo shoot the next day so since we didn't really have that much to do we took some practice pics.

It was mostly a relaxing couple of days so I spent a lot of it reading. 






We had our photo shoot and I absolutely loved how the photos turned out especially the last one. 


There was a Tamale place we could walk to so of course I couldn't pass that up.


The last day we went to this absolutely adorable churro place and I got a churro ice cream sandwich. It was pretty much the best thing ever. 


And that's it! Make sure to check out the other blog post, the other vlog, and the vlog for when we stayed here. Annnnd get excited for the blog post + video all about the resort and wedding! :)
