I’ve Taken Kim Kardashian’s Advice and Surprised My Inner Circle With a Trip to a Private Island Where We Could Pretend Things Were Normal

I’ve taken Kim Kardashian’s advice.

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.

Before COVID, I don’t think any of us truly appreciated what a simple luxury it was to be able to travel and be together with family and friends in a safe environment.

We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more. I realize that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now, so in moments like these, I am humbly reminded of how privileged my life is.

We even joined a lovely group hosted by a professor.

And we started a line of shapewear.

COMING SOON: New @SKIMS
Solutionwear™ styles! Our game changing shapewear collection is getting a major update: introducing new pieces and new features on our most popular styles – all inspired by feedback and requests from customers like you.

To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too.
