Cancun Chic

Nikka Shae Cancun

Hey Lovelies!

Recently I had the pleasure of traveling to the tropics on a sun-filled getaway in uber-chic Cancun, Mexico courtesy of the fabulous Travel Divas. Surrounded by gasp-worthy views at every turn, the uh-mazing Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun resort was the perfect backdrop to a wonderful week of pampering, private cabanas, lots of Sangria, and plenty of poolside posing. I mean, who goes to a  picturesque place like Cancun and doesn’t indulge in an impromptu photo shoot (or three). Right?

Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures, this young man sets off on an adventure both absurd and extraordinary.
