Have you seen the refresh at Raining Berries in Lutz yet? 🌸 I love it a latte!😉

The café got a beautiful update earlier this year with refreshed seating, updated interiors, and a gelato counter that makes the space feel even sweeter. 🍨

The sea salt caramel gelato is my favorite!🌊🤎

✨ It’s such a cute spot to grab coffee, catch up with friends, get some work done, or just hang out for a bit.

Plus, they still have their private conference room available for meetings or study sessions! 📝

Did you know this Tampa Bay-based scratch kitchen has been serving Wesley Chapel for nearly 20 years? 🔥

first opened in 2004 in Tampa Bay and has been a Wesley Chapel staple since 2008, known for its scratch-made menu, craft cocktails, and wood-fired flavors.

We visit again last week, and the standout for me was EASILY the ahi tuna. 🤤 It was *the best* ahi tuna dish I’ve ever had and I cannot stop thinking about it.

The jalapeño mac & cheese was also REALLY great as always. Such a good side dish and something that would pair perfectly with so many of the entrées on the menu.

What we tried:

Craft Cocktails:
💨🥃 Smoked Old Fashioned
🩷🍸 Spring Fling
🍉🥥 Watermelon Coconut Refresher - Mocktail

Soup & Salad:
🦀 Caribbean Pumpkin Crab Bisque
🥗 Napa Valley Salad

Appetizers & Sides:
🍣 Crunchy Ahi Tuna
🥢 Filet Tip Egg Rolls
🍗 Wings - Asian Style
🧀🌶️ Jalapeño Mac & Cheese

Entrées:
🥩 Skirt Steak Chimichurri
🌮 GrillSmith Grouper Tacos
🍝 Cajun Chicken Pasta

Desserts:
🍍🍰 Pineapple Upside Down Cake
🍫🍰 Chocolate Decadence

As for dessert… my husband and I are STILL debating which one was better. 😂 He’s fighting hard for the Chocolate Decadence while I’m team Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I still think I'm right! 🍍

His personal favorite overall? The Filet Tip Egg Rolls and the Cajun pasta, which is always his go-to.

✨ And if you didn’t know… their “Mondays @ The Smith” special is actually a really good deal. 🙌🏻 Every Monday, guests can enjoy a 3-course dinner starting at $23 with a soup or salad, entrée, and dessert included.

Whether you’re planning a date night, grabbing cocktails at the bar with friends, or hosting a party, continues to be an iconic Wesley Chapel staple people keep coming back to. ✨

New skincare studio now open in Land O’ Lakes! ✨🤍

celebrated its grand opening this weekend, bringing a fresh, elevated approach to skincare to the area.

🤎 Founded by Mayah, a Latina aesthetician and Tampa native of Puerto Rican and Colombian descent, the studio specializes in acne-focused and corrective skincare treatments in a soft, welcoming setting designed to help clients feel comfortable and cared for.

Before launching her own business, Mayah worked in dermatology as a medical assistant before becoming a licensed medical aesthetician, certified laser technician, licensed laser safety officer, and Face Reality Acne Specialist.

Balanced Aesthetics takes a skin-focused, results-driven approach while also emphasizing genuine client care, education, and trust, creating treatments that feel personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.

✨ The grand opening itself was absolutely beautiful, with so much attention to detail throughout the space, from the soft neutral tones to the welcoming atmosphere, and you could truly feel the love and support from everyone in attendance.

I’m fortunate to work with Mayah’s mother, Sandra, which made it especially meaningful to witness firsthand just how proud she is of her daughter and the hard work and dedication that led up to this moment.🫶🏻

Guests enjoyed light bites, raffles, a champagne toast, drinks from ☕️, and a first look at the new studio while celebrating this exciting new chapter.

Congratulations, Mayah! 🥂 Wishing you so much success.

👜 Portland Leather celebrated the GRAND OPENING of its FIRST Florida store in Wesley Chapel this weekend! 🐊🌴

Located at , the highly anticipated opening brought out huge crowds for giveaways, raffles, and Portland Leather’s signature full-grain leather bags and accessories.👛

Known for its handcrafted leather goods and timeless, minimalist designs, has built a loyal following for its durable everyday bags, wallets, and accessories made from full-grain leather.

One of the cutest details was the Florida-exclusive alligator bag charms. 🐊 They had three different versions, and watching everyone decide which one coordinated best with their bag made the opening feel even more fun and personalized for Florida.

The energy throughout the store was incredible, and it was especially sweet seeing so many mother-daughter duos shopping together, helping each other pick out bags, wallets, and charms. 🥺

And I'm now the proud owner of a Portland Leather handbag too. 🫶🏻👜

Definitely worth checking out if you’re visiting The Shops at Wiregrass and looking for a new everyday bag or gift idea! ✨
