Advantages: Great beaches, nightlife and shopping Disadvantages: it can be expensive
...For a 40th review, it had to be something a bit special, something that has really made an impact on my life. Where else but Miami? I had always wanted to visit Miami having been particularly interested in the Art Deco district. As a 21st birthday present, my mum treated me, my boyfriend and my Aunt to a Caribbean cruise and a short pre-cruise stay in Miami. I was extremely excited, here's why…

The Hotel itself is located on an alley which none of the locals had heard of and it took us a little while to find the address. Make sure you print out a map before you leave home! The alley and the outside of the hotel are not hugely inviting as the alley precludes sunlight and the surrounding buildings...

I’m such a perfume fiend, I love to try anything new that’s doing the rounds, so this was no different. I’d first seen this advertised on the TV, and to be honest I didn’t really given it a second glance, because I remembered how much I hated J Lo Glow,... more
Just when I thought life couldn’t possibly get any better a friend gave me some DVDs and there it was – a show about tattoos and the hot guys who’s got them! The show called Miami Ink is a reality show about the people who work at the tattoo parlour with more
