The holidays are coming… and so is the whole family. 🎄

We love them. We love hosting them. We just love it even more when they’re tucked in at @thesishotelmiami, steps away but not in our guest room. 😉

They get a rooftop pool, padel right on property, a 24-hour gym, bikes to explore the Gables, connecting rooms for the whole crew, and easy access to the Metrorail. Plus they earn Hilton Honors points. You get your house (and your bathroom) back.

🏡 Coral Gables neighbors: ask about the THesis Local Love Rate, plus complimentary parking when you book direct (proof of residency required).

Happy guests. Happy hosts.

What a day at Spark! ✨ Ten years of Spark with Luly B, and I got to be part of the celebration.

Huge thank you to Luly for having me, and to my fellow panelists Romi Wallach, Lauren Marsicano, and Michelle Molina. Sharing the stage with you was an honor.

I shared how a single book recommendation in our newsletter grew into a sold-out book club, where people even showed up without tickets because they wanted to be in the room. That’s still the heart of 305 Hive: real friendships first, with the networking coming naturally after.

Come find your people at our next book club, November 10th at Joanna’s Marketplace. Link in bio 👆 📚🐝

First looks at Wild About Miami are here! 🌊✨ Captured beautifully by Cynthia Demos Communications.

What an amazing afternoon, filled with incredible details at every turn. This year’s theme, Wild About Water, shone a light on The CLEO Institute and its mission to protect the water, ecosystems, and communities that make South Florida home.

Our guests posed with the mermaid, shared plenty of laughter and friendship, and gave back to CLEO with generous donations and bids in the silent auction. Coming together as a community and celebrating our home, Miami, is what makes this event so special. 💙

Thank you to everyone who showed up in their Ocean Chic best and supported CLEO, and a huge thank you to our sponsors for making it all possible.

More to come soon! Comment BUZZ for the link to join our free newsletter, and you’ll get the full photo gallery in next week’s edition. 🐝
