The best part of the trip was our daily morning run along Ocean Drive in search of Miami’s best cafe for breakfast.

Here are some of my beauty routines for late nights and early mornings.</span></p> <p><span>Sabon has a great eye cream that really wakes you up in the morning. It has white tea and avocado oil in it, and you can feel it working.</span><br/><br/><span>At night, I use La Prairie cellular treatment. It works off any stress from the day.</span><br/><br/><span>I always add Shu Uemura’s essence absolue in my hair. It is nourishing fragrance with oil pearls and camellia oil which keeps my hair healthy especially while traveling. Doesn’t hurt that it smells amazing.</span><br/><br/><span>Giorgio Armani has the best foundation. I usually don’t wear much make up during the day, except for this. It makes your skin smooth and just feels amazing on.
