St. Martin

February 18, 2015

Nathan and I want to travel the world. It is our deepest desire to explore all the crevices of this planet, taste the best food, see the most breathtaking sites, and meet the most interesting people. It is simply what my soul aches for!

Nathan and I have done Europe twice, so we wanted to taste something different, and with limited time off from work, we decided to try the Caribbean!  St. Martin in the French West Indies seemed perfect for us because it is supposedly a foodies paradise along with the most breathtaking scenery and French Caribe vibe. Our trip was wonderful. We hiked to a secluded beach everyday called Happy Bay. We walked through the most gorgeous terrain filled with iguanas, beautiful birds and cows which eventually spit us out to the most picturesque beach line with palms, sea grapes, and the bluest water you could imagine. We swam and basked in the sun for hours only to return home each night sun kissed and covered in white sand that seemed impossible to get off our bodies.  We rented a car and found the most beautiful baths of sea water filled with pink rocks and crashing waves. We spent the evenings watching the sunset with our toes in the crashing waves. It was magical. I would love to visit St. Martin again very soon. Nathan put it perfectly: "The Caribbean is its own beast," meaning you cant compare its beauty to Hawaii or other tropical places because it stands alone in its majesty. Hope you enjoy some snap shots from our adventure!

Welcome, my name is Mercedez! My husband Nathan, our little pup Thomas, and I just moved into the country outside of Austin, TX. We purchased our first home and haven't stopped renovating since! Follow along as I share my all of my favorite things in life; recipes, DIY's, beauty stuff, fashion, interior design, and so much more! 

I'm at a point in my life where getting a table runner on sale makes the day worth living.....hahaha Today Id like to be back in Saint Tropez. Everyone go follow my floral design Instagram. Ready, set, go! @theheirloomtable Down by the lake with my love. ☕️ bigger than my face. I need it today. Throwback to the good days at home in California. Sometimes, most of the time, I really miss it. I bought this 10 million dollar water bottle because it looked cool. 😒 Making salsa watching the rain😌 It's 82 degrees and raining. In Texas 82 degrees feels like sweater weather. One more house picture cause I'm loving our new living room. So much brighter and cozier than the last ❤️ I love our throw pillows! My kitchen sink window makes me so happy 😍
