Rooftop bars are just different than regular bars or restaurants. The stunning views, the atmosphere, and the heights give you this unique feeling while you’re on top of the tallest building and having a good time. Miami is known for its vibrant atmosphere, and believe me, you will find too many to choose from. If you’re looking for Miami’s best rooftop bars, your thoughts might be to stop at one of this city’s many trendy hotels. Whether it’s a rooftop bar facing the ocean or the city, the vibes are fantastic while sipping cocktails.  Wanna enjoy “Happy Hours”, here are some of the best Maimi Rooftop Bars that I think you will enjoy.

1 Mila Miami Beach

Mila is a rooftop Mediterranean-Asian restaurant and lounge overlooking a busy stretch of Lincoln Road. Its expansive indoor-outdoor terrace incorporates minimalistic design elements to an impressively decadent effect. Despite its tourist-heavy location, Mila’s mixology program pushes edgy ingredients and tableside cocktail experiences. During happy hour (Mon–Thu 6–7 pm), the somm’s selection of wines goes for $12 a glass, along with a selection of $12 signature cocktails and discounted tapas and maki

1. Rosa Sky

Located on the rooftop of the dual-brand AC and Element Hotel Miami Downtown, pink-themed Rosa Sky delivers moody lounge vibes with a sleek, modern design, low-slung seating, and loads of LED lighting choreographed to the DJ tunes. Enjoy the glittering Downtown and Brickell views with your naked eye, or place your peepers into the set of real-deal binoculars for an up-close look at all the action—just be beware what, or who, you might stumble across!

2. Level 6

Level 6 is a stylish rooftop oasis of Coconut Grove’s new modern Lebanese restaurant, Amal. This a  4,000-square-foot, sixth-floor lounge and restaurant boasts views of the Grove. Level 6 is known for its Spanish-inspired menu of tapas and vibrant herbaceous cocktails.

3. Sugar

Sugar Rooftop bar is so good that it will create a line; but you’ll have a 360 views of the city waiting for you.  This Brickell hotspot at East Miami is definitely the best place to be. Snag a reservation for a guaranteed table, dress code is strictly enforced.

4. Astra

Inspired by the lively lounges of Mykonos, Astra brings a rooftop bar to the southern end of Wynwood. The place is pretty huge at 10,000 square feet and offers proper tables for dinner or more casual seating options for sipping and relaxing. Expect Greek, both on the seafood-heavy menu and behind the bar with mastika and ouzo. There are no tall buildings blocking the view at Astra, so you can really see all the way to the Downtown skyline.

Three Stylish Furniture and Decor Finds Under $100

Furnishing a place can  be a little challenging but not a rocket science. Coming from someone who has furnished three units within 10 calendar days with little to no help. Most people don’t know that I love me some home decor from places like Amazon, Home Goods, Marshall, Walmart and Ross.  Although, I have preferences on what to buy from each store, it’s always exciting to shop.

I’ve been a fan of all these stores that I have mentioned above for so many reasons. They all offer a wide variety of home decor styles, and budget.  The goal of this post is to show you that furnishing doesn’t have to cost a fortune; especially when you are just adding some accent chairs, rugs, or statement wall decors.

Most importantly, you don’t have to be an Interior designer to pick out a night lamp for a room. Lately, Amazon has been my to go store because of the awesome prime shipping. You can get your delivery as fast as next day. Isn’t that amazing? No more 5-10 business days waiting period if you really can’t make a trip to your local store.

Don’t get me wrong, going to your local Home Goods, you might discover some unique items compared to Amazon; however,  I appreciate the conveniency of just having it delivered right to my door steps.  And, if it doesn’t go well with your taste , you can always return the unused item, just make sure you have your receipt.

Area Rugs

There’s nothing better than having an area rug, but also the right size.

Area rugs tend to be expensive sometimes, and stores like the ones listed above tend to have huge sales .  Personally, I prefer a washable rugs because they are much easier to clean.

For just $51 , you can get this Amazon colorful rug which can go with any color in your home.

Adjustable Nightstand Lamp

Some of the apartments oddly don’t have any lighting in the living room area or bedroom, which can a challenge. Especially, if you have to get some work done before bed. These lamps are very easy to reach, and some even come with USB port for your cellphone!

I find Amazon to have a lot of them as well as Walmart, which also have a 2-3 days delivery.
This Walmart Bedside Lamps is for just $58.

Lastly, A Side Table.
A side table can be use in the living room, bedroom or a reading corner. This $85 Natural Rattan Table with drawer from Walmart , is the perfect fit, as you have enough space to store your favorite books to read.

Overall, this was our three recommended items under $100.If you have anything else in mind, please let us know in the comments.

In the meantime, if you are a traveling professional like myself, or Travel Nursing Agency, you can always fill the contact; so we can possibly accommodate you during your assignment  in places that feel just like home.

Until next time.

6 Tips for a First Time Travel Nurse

I have spoken to many nurses who want to travel but  don’t consider letting go of their staff positions and jumping into the world of travel because of fear. Surprisingly, some  have way more experiences than the average nurses, however still hesitant to travel and have a lot reasons why they don’t want to give it a try.

I usually get statements like: “I’m afraid the contracts will be too complicated and demanding”.

“I don’t want to do all the licensing requirements and Onboarding exams”.

“I’m afraid the housing situation will be horrible and hard to find.”

“I’m scared to travel by myself  and wont’ make any friends”.

In all honesty, all these are valid questions because if you’re gonna make a decision to leave home or family and go to a new environment, you need to know all the details to make your travel experience a good one. For that, I will list about 6 important tips if you are a new traveler or plan on getting into travel nursing.

First thing first.

Do your research

Travel nursing is not for everyone because some people don’t like changes and there still opportunities to leverage your career in your staff position. It is necessary to research on where you want to travel, local or out of state, research about the different agencies , pay packages etc…

Why this is important? Being a first time traveler, you may not want to travel out of state, so starting a local travel position within an hour or two away from home is a great option. Also, try being in flex/float pool within your hospital in order to get a feel on travel nursing since you might get floated to different units during your assignment.

Second, you want to research the different agencies simply because they don’t operate the same or they don’t offer the same pay package. Then, add your number and make sure it’s worth traveling by doubling or tripling your income.

When you’re traveling, you are duplicating expenses; therefore, you want to make enough to cover both expenses,  at home and out of state. It simply makes no sense to leave home and to earn the same income .

Get Organized

As travel professionals, once you contact a recruiter, he/she would want you to send everything related to your career: licensing information, certifications, health and up to date immunization records and references. It also means that you’re 100% prepared to submit your application and ready for those phone interviews.

One thing I do, is creating a file where I add all my updated documents and be able to attach them to my email in quick second. Lastly, be familiar with the different prices you have to pay for your certifications and licenses especially if you don’t live in a compact state.
The great thing about about you living in a compact state is to be able to travel in more than 30 states with that one nursing license. Isn’t that awesome?


Be Flexible 

The more flexible you are with location, facility and pay grade (I’m not telling you to cut yourself short), the more jobs will be open to you. Just have have a range on what’s the highest and lowest pay you would want, that will make your search easier for both your recruiter and yourself.
Travel nursing  want you to be so flexible that if there’s an emergency, you will be able to hop on a plane within 24-48hrs. Meaning, you may not even know what’s your next contract is within a week of you starting.  By now, I just keep a small carry on bag with all the essentials I need. 

Plan Your Housing

If your travel nursing assignment is far away from home, you would want to secure your housing before you get there. Not all agencies provide housing and if they do, you may not even like what they provide.
There are many other factors to consider when looking for housing. Do you want to live in the center of town, or you rather drive 30+ minutes to work? Do you want roommates? Do you have a furry friend? By asking yourself all these questions, your search will be much easier.

Me personally, I have tried Airbnb, Extended stay with kitchen areas as well as short term rental. I honestly don’t have any problem with any of them as long as it’s less than 15 drive to work.

Keep in touch with your recruiter 

A good recruiter will be available to you when you need them. There’s nothing worse than having questions and concerns at work and no one is available to answer.

It doesn’t matter if you just started travel nursing or on your 15th assignment, you will have questions in the beginning, and during the process. Your recruiter works for you and if you don’t have the best one, you can always call your agency and switch recruiters if you have to.

Explore and Make New Friends 

And please don’t forget to make new friends, explore the new city and eat some good food. You will be away from home for a period of 4-13 weeks and the last thing you want to do is to stay locked up in a hotel room or your Airbnb. Don’t do that !!!

What is self-care to you? Self-care is not just eating a nice healthy meal and create a 6-pack at the gym. It is the action you take to meet all your physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional needs.

What Is The First Thing You Check When You Walk Into Your Hotel Room?

Travelers’ choices of hotel selection may vary, based on the purpose of the trip, price, comfort, and cleanliness. A lot of people aren’t clean freak, but there is a risk we face when we check into hotels with poor cleaning standards; even the luxurious ones! Let’s be honest, you pay for it; therefore, no one should expect to be greeted by dusty furniture and stained glass or bedding.

7 Things to Consider Before Going On A Cabin Break

Even just two days away from your regular routine can help you forget about all the sources of stress you face every day.

Whether you’re heading somewhere local or you’re traveling across the world, you need to be prepared as much as you possibly can; so your getaway doesn’t turn into a nightmare. During this pandemic all I have been doing is “work work, work”; therefore,I decided to plan this cabin getaway in the middle of the week and it felt great. In this post is I will share  all things you need to consider for your cabin trip From choosing the location, time ,budget and much more.

Here are the 7 things to consider before going on a cabin break.

First thing first is Your  Budget.
Many of you may have not booked a mini vacation in years because you think it will cost an arm and a leg, even if it’s local. For any getaway, you will definitely need a bit of money. Assess  your budget and create a list of the different places you can go for the low. Also, be mindful to include, gas, food,tip, and  cash as part of your budget.

Location.

It is very important to consider the area you would like to stay in. Location plays a major part since it will cost more to travel out of town or state. An out of state cabin for instance might require a rental car or plane ticket.
In addition, do you prefer to stay somewhere rural or have easy access to things ?  Is it safe, can you go alone or rather with family? The choice is all yours, but definitely research everything before you go.

What People Are Saying?

I have been to a hotel before and I had to check out within minutes of arrival. It is very crucial to know if others have enjoyed their stay. You may not find everything to be perfect but make sure it’s not something that will make you regret every penny you’ve spent.

When Do You Want To Go?
Yeeaahhh, IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING!!!! Now that you have the money and location picked up, it’s now time to decide when is the right time to go. Me personally, I prefer a cabin trip during the Spring and early Summer (Not too hot , not too cold). I haven’t been during the Winter , so can’t really say much.  However, the beauty of cabin vacations is that they’re suitable for all seasons, so it is completely up to you.

Will you go alone or with guest? 
Why it is important?  That will determine the room size, the amount of beds, and money of course. When you get to your locations you will see all the things you want to try and your guest or kids will do to.
Also, not everyone is good with sharing; therefore, it is important to plan accordingly.
And if you are going SOLO, perfect!!! This is a great time to reconnect with yourself and strengthen your inner peace because dealing with craziness everyday at work or with family members can drive nuts.

How long will you be staying ?
This is like any typical out of town vacation, whether it’s a solo trip, a couple weekend getaway or family vacay. When you know how long you’ll be staying, you know what to bring and how much money, clothes to bring or food if restaurants aren’t nearby. Don’t forget to pack your first aid kit, NSAIDs , flashlight, portable charger etc… in case of emergency.

Ladies, I know we bring more than we should, I’m guilty of this and I’m trying to do better lol.

Planning Activities

Yeah, some of you may like to find out once you get there but honestly, the activities are what drawn you to the  location in the first place.  For me, planning some activities   in advance always help so I know what to pack and avoid unnecessary spending.

Any recommendations? Please let us know in the comments.
