Superblue Miami

Filed under: Mom Life · July 22, 2021

There’s a brilliant new spot in town and it is Super Cool!!! Superblue Miami opened up less than two months ago in Allapattah and it is one cool art museum. Honestly, I have never experienced anything like it. From the time that we arrived at checkin up until we exited the gift shop our mouths were wide open. Yes, that is just how cool it is.

Superblue features several unique exhibits from artists, Es Devlin, teamLab, James Turrell, and a site-specific installation by DRIFT. Featuring more than 30,000 square feet of flexible installation space, Superblue Miami was specifically conceived for the presentation of large-scale works that immerse and engage visitors as part of the art itself.

Every Wall is a Door

The theme is Every Wall is a Door: Every Wall is a Door takes you through immersive light, video, and sound environments. James Turrell manipulates light and vision to investigate the power of perception, Es Devlin stages complex performative spaces that reveal how we relate to the earth, and teamLab grounds us in nature to awaken our sensory response to all living forms. We were literally walking through clouds. This interactive tour is so magical and already have my kids asking when can they go back?

In conclusion, I am super impressed with Superblue Miami. The colors, details, and sensory experience is something that I have never experienced before. It was like we got to escape the daily hustle and bustle and were transported into a magical land of clouds, flowers and trees. My kids and I really enjoyed our tour and the tour guides were great too.

Tickets are limited so purchase ahead of time. Trust me you don’t want to miss this! Hours of operation are
Sunday–Wednesday, 10 a.m.–7 p.m. (last ticket sold)
Thursday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m. (last ticket sold)

What I’m Loving: July Favorite Things

Filed under: Mom Life · July 13, 2021

July is always my favorite month of the year because it is my birth month! And girls let me tell you that this July is a busy one. I celebrated my birthday last week, became the chapter leader of South Florida Mom Bloggers and wrote a few pages in the upcoming Girls Grow together guide that launches this week. Oh and I forgot to mention that I will be a panelist at the upcoming Ft. Lauderdale Fashion brunch in a few days.

It is such a blessing to grow as a momprenuer and be able to share this journey with you all. I have learned so much over the past two years but one of the most important things that I have learned is the power of relationships and showing up. I can’t stress that enough. People remember how you show up and how you treat them. Don’t be afraid to go the extra mile. Here are some of my favorites this month!

July Favorites Things

Shop Pink Dress has amazing styles for moms. They specialize in maternity wear but also have great women’s clothing. This pink dress from my birthday shoot is a hit!

Girls Grow Together Guide: For one week only you can purchase this guide filled with tips and strategies form over 30 boss moms. From photography, how to make money online, how to start a blog to Pinterest this guide is a must have.

wine subscription pink dress July favorite things

Lipstick of the month is from YSL! I haven’t found a smoother lipstick than this one. I love Red 1 but trust me you will love all of these colors.

Candle: If you have been following me on social media you probably know that I am obsessed with the volcano candle from Anthropologie. I love the scent and how it lights up my bedroom at night. It is absolutely gorgeous and a must have if you love candles.

Bright Cellars Wine Subscription box is a must for you moms who love wine and love to entertain family and friends. You take a short quiz and they give you selections based on your answer choices. I learned that I am definitely a white wine connoisseur. Check it out and let me know what you think. You can also save over $50 off your first order.

I hope you love my July favorite things and that you all have an amazing week and be sure to follow me @sportymommas on Instagram for all of the behind the scenes.

What I’m Loving: Seasonal Summer Trends

Filed under: Mom Life · June 9, 2021

Summer is in full swing and so are all of the seasonal trends! I love this time of the year because school is out, the pool is always warm and my birthday is right around the corner. Yes I LOVE summer. From summer dresses, beverages to my favorite fresh seasonal scents here’s what I am loving this month!

First up is my go to fragrance of 2021. Bacarrat Rouge is light, sweet and sure to turn heads every time that you enter a room.

Every summer I love switching up my hair. Sometimes it’s braids, a new wig or playing with a new color. This month I have done all three. If you are thinking of changing it up this summer try a new wig or haircut with highlights. Since we are finally out of the house, why not have fun getting all dolled up! I love to play around with different wigs. It keeps them guessing. lol

Summer Dresses

If you are looking for great style without breaking the bank, let me tell you that Target has really stepped up their fashion game. The Spring Designer collection was a huge hit and your girl bought 4 dresses. Ok actually I bought five but decided to return one. These dresses were so vibrant and full of color. The best part of all was that they ranged from size XS to 3X! I was super impressed.

Rihanna is still getting all of our coins with her Fenty makeup line. I cannot live without my lipgloss and bronzer. The Lip Bar also has a super cool glow serum that is perfect for the summer and sure to be a summer trend. It is easy to apply and can be worn with or without foundation.

If you are in need of a little daily inspiration, Morgan Harper Nichols has been keeping me motivated and inspired with her daily podcast and beautiful Pinterest quotes. I love her storytelling and authenticity.

So there you have my favorite seasonal summer trends! I hope that these inspire you to treat yourself, try something new and enjoy the next 100 days. We definitely deserve it y’all. What a difference a year makes!!!

Mindful Monday: Momprenuer Life

Filed under: Mom Life · May 3, 2021

Happy May everyone!!! Since we have a lot of new friends around here, I thought that it would be a great day to re-introduce myself! My name is Sharonda aka Sporty Mommas. I like to describe myself as a multi-passionate momprenuer! I am a Miami native yes 305 all day every day! My husband and I have been married over 16 years and we have three amazing kids. Well they are actually teens and tweens now and sometimes I feel old lol but I also feel extremely blessed to be their momma!

I created Sporty Mommas in 2009 with a mission of inspiring moms to look and feel their best at any age. The Sporty Mommas Boutique is full of tees, accessories and books to keep you moms fly, chic and fabulous. I also have a passion for giving back so a portion of each sale is donated to charities that assist women and children. We have also hosted several charity bowling events that raised funds for breast cancer awareness.

Being a mompreneur is not easy at all. I have had my share of ups and downs but I am still at it. I have learned to be mindful of the journey and all that I have accomplished. Besides running my online boutique, I have been on this blogger scene consistently now for almost 2 years. Leveraging SEO services like Mesa SEO has been instrumental in growing my online presence and reaching a wider audience. Over the years I have learned so much but here are some of the most important lessons that I can share with you in 2021.

Invest in yourself!!!! Hire the coach, take the masterclass, read all the books and join professional organizations that support women. (It takes money to make money). Visit Medium.com – Options Trading when you’re ready to start investing your money.

Don’t be afraid to try something new. Sometimes we have to reinvent ourselves. Exploring investment such as the best uk crypto exchange can offer fresh opportunities for financial growth and learning. You may also get in on advanced AI research when you invest in anthropic stock.
Remember why you started in the first place. We often get caught up in what everyone else is doing but follow YOUR heart. Stay the course.

Success looks different for everyone.

Have faith that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

What have you learned on your journey so far?

XO,

Sharonda
