BEST Of 2011 Andra Hall's(Cami Cake owner) Holiday Gift Exchange!
At the end of every year I like to post some of the “Best Of ” from 2011. It’s fun to go down memory lane and look through my archives of all the events I covered, invited out to or simply just went to hang out. This year I was recognized in my community, awarded several times and more! It has been a crazy year, I must say! I learned to pin on Pinterest, grow my followers on twitter and use tumblr! I have met some fabulous people and some folks that I was not too happy to meet. I have gained some true friends and comment stalkers as well lol. I feel as though I have grown a lot with my ventures. I got a chance to travel to Jamaica! The very first time I had EVER been out of the country! I not only visited Jamaica once but twice in a month, they loved me lol.

I enjoy my job and meeting new people, it makes me really happy! It makes my job so worth wild! People still ask me today what do you do actually? It’s hard to say but I work in media, I’m a fashion and beauty editor of a few magazines,blogger,red carpet correspondent and I’m all things social media, how about that lol. I have seen me look at hot mess and really nice and in between! My weight has fluctuated between a 12 and 14, I see it in my pics lol.All in all i must say its been a learning experience and I wouldn’t change anything in the world. I hope that my life,family and friends stay safe going into the new year! I love you guys and thanks so much for reading and hanging in there with me from the beginning of my lil blog five years ago! Take care and look at these photos I found! I can’t believe this year is over this weekend, it went by so fast! Enjoy! xoxo

Hey guys my family is headed back to DisneyWorld.Yes my kids were very upset that I went down without them a few months ago with the Dreamers Academy so I promised them that I would bring them back for a Spring Break vacation. I have to share a funny story too!
You guys know my hubby owns a trucking company and drives cross country. Lawd but he cant stay up to drive down the street to go to the store before he gets tired. He said he doesn’t know why he gets sleepy in a four wheeler lol. I had to drive most of the way down to Orlando lol. My kids are already on that nerve bickering in the back seat, daughter asking me to turn the music up and hubby blasting DMX! I’m too fit to be tied right about now but I give many blessings to God above for the experience and keeping my family safe and able to go on a family outing. I will have plenty of pics so check back. I would like to thank Disney Park for the passes and Orlando World Center Marriott for the hotel accommodations.
After a great spa day us girlies headed over to the Grand Floridian Cafe for breakfast. It was already warming up outside and full of sunshine. The veranda view that overlooked the courtyard was absolutely breath taking and seeing all the pretty flowers made me smile.
Grand Floridian Cafe
When God blesses me with things like this I can’t help but to tear up because he shows me that the skies the limit and that I can really dream! Seeing all what Walt Disney has accomplished gave me a lot to think about. What a talent and creative person he was.
I was starved so I ordered the Mickey Waffles and we all had mimosas. We had fun girl talk and Ms. Laura from Disney enlightened me on so many things and shared her story on how she came to work at the most magical place on earth.
Alice In Wonderland
Tigger
Mary Poppins
I got up to take more pictures when I ran into characters visiting with the guests. I quickly got out my camera and starting snapping away. Alice in Wonderland is another fun character I like as well as Mary Poppins. It was a fab breakfast with the girls and my food taste very delicious! At this hotel they offer lil girl tea parties as well. One was in session as we dined in an adjacent part of the hotel lobby. It was Pinktastic to see! Enjoy the pics everyone! xoxo
