A rainy NYC day turned into this ☀️🍓

Apparently getting stuck at the hotel isn’t so bad… ☀️🍓

NYC plans got rained out, so today turned into a pool day with my Strawberry Sunrise @Alani Nutrition , sunshine, and absolutely nowhere I needed to be for a little while. 💗

And then I found out today that Alani makes PROTEIN SHAKES?! How have I missed this?? 😂 Now I’m officially on a mission to find them.

Sometimes the unplanned days end up being pretty good ones. ☀️
