One of our favorite places to find vintage books, it’s a beautiful maze of books of all different ages and origins. Chamblin has such a vast collection of books it’s near overwhelming! Be careful, it’s so easy to get lost in that place.

A place that has always felt like home to me, and still remains to be one of my favorite spots, Jacksonville zoo is a great place to visit, especially if you have a similar affection for wildlife! Take it from someone who’s been coming here her ENTIRE life thus far- it’s great place to be. Don’t forget to donate!

The art market holds so many treasures and has fueled my plant addiction for many years now, please take note that they are only open on Saturday (10-3)

Where we had our first date! We’ve both been coming here since high school, it’s the best place to stay cool and fall on your butt in front of your friends!

How could I not put the place that we met? Hawkers has given us the opportunity to pull ourselves into new (adult) territories- without our positions here we wouldn’t have been able to afford our first apartment together! We have truly grown as people at our wonderful location, it’s another great place to visit if you’re exploring the beaches! If you dig Asian food, you’ll dig it here (no we don’t serve sushi). Our bar is amazing and our outdoor seating is breathtaking, Hawkers has a lot of personality being put into their dishes- not just saying that because they sign my checks. If you’re here to visit, come on in and I’m sure we’ll both be working!

I practically live here whenever I’m not living at work. Whether I’m on break or meeting up with my friends, this place is my go-to during anytime of the year. Their coffee both hot and iced are amazing, the store baked pastries are to die for. I’m loyal to the beaches I was born to, and I gotta say that this is one of my favorite coffee houses I’ve been to at the beaches. It’s such a beautiful location, the staff is amazing and they know me by name and I love them all! Make sure to grab a seat outside if the weather isn’t being bipolar!

Because who doesn’t like to shop? (Besides my fiancé, but I am to blame for that) the Town Center has all you could ask for ranging from bookstores, fitness shops to a big ass target around the corner, it’s great!
