It's all about travel with me this week, Peaches. So I came up with a pretty upbeat playlist for the flight to your fave destinations! Heading to Cancun, PV or Mexico City? Maybe you're jumping across the pond to Europe... This is the playlist for you while you're floating at 35,000 feet. It's only ten songs, so add your faves to the list and mix in a bit of your own personal spice!
Enjoy!

This is a private event from 8:00pm to 2:00am with 43 bars, International DJs Edgar and Oscar Velazquez –brothers from Mexico – provide the Main Dance floor beats.

Come meet the Tidal Wave boys!
RuPaul’s Drag Races own Trinity the Tuck will wow the crowd with a very special performance at the main stage!
But don’t forget about the rides! Fly down the waterslides or float in the lazy river all evening.
Whatever beats you are looking for, you can find them at Riptide.
Also returning to Riptide this year will be TRANS Beach, proudly sponsored by BLISS Health.

ARIES: When you set your mind to something, you tend to really focus in on the things that matter most to you. It’s as if your focus can really funnel vision you in the most positive way. Focus on that this week!
TAURUS: Last week you felt as though everyone around you was pulling you in different directions and forcing you to choose sides, but this week… no more. You get to stand your ground and assert yourself in ways others have not seen yet.
GEMINI: This week is high time for you to look for opportunities to educate yourself again. Whether it’s a continuing education credit for work, or taking up teaching yoga or something else, it is time to become the student again.
CANCER: This week you’re going to be let down by someone on a project that you’re involved in but it doesn’t mean that they don’t care. What it means is that they need your assistance and direction. How can you help someone grow to their fullest potential?
LEO: Lethargy was the death of you last week and this week you are biting off more than you can chew. You have no middle ground! Stop going from one extreme to another and allowing the stress to get to you.
VIRGO: Deep breaths this week as you start to realize that you can get overwhelmed by very little. Because you’re a perfectionist you can’t seem to understand that when things don’t go your way in the slightest, it’s not the end of the world.
LIBRA: Balance is everything to a Libra, and so is sarcasm. You are the master of sarcasm and because of this, most people tend to think you’re a cruel person but that’s not it. You’ve just mastered the art of shade..
SCORPIO: Calm down this week ma’am. You’ve got a long time to deal with a certain issue and just because someone is getting under your skin doesn’t mean that you have to make a brash decision. Wait it out. Think about it.
SAGITTARIUS: Travel is in your future. Whether it be to the ends of the earth or the end of your neighborhood sidewalk, you are going to have an amazing encounter soon. It’ll be one full of insight and positive energy. It’s just what you need this week.
CAPRICORN: There’s been a lot of unexpected pop ups in your life this week. From someone old to someone new, you’ve experience the gamut of people around you. Don’t let that get to you though. Your social meter is off the charts. This won’t get to you.
AQUARIUS: Last week you were plagued with fear, and this week you are galavanting into a week full of love and acceptance. People around you truly do love you and it will take some time to notice and understand that. However, once you do: magic.
PISCES: There’s something in the pipeline for you. It’s coming down from a superior and you’re going to reap the benefits of it soon enough. If you keep your eye on the prize, anything is possible.

Botanical Garden Opens ORIGAMIINTHEGARDEN Exhibit | Saturday, May 7th (10 AM)
Origami, meaning “folding paper” in Japanese, reflects the essence of creativity: making something out of (basically) nothing. Start with a simple square piece of paper. Apply the art of origami, folding the paper in a creative way to produce an elegant object—a soaring bird, gliding plane, galloping pony, floating boat, or an emerging butterfly. Artist Kevin Box takes origami to another level, transforming paper into museum quality metal sculpture through processes he has pioneered in teamwork with foundries, fabrication shops, and his studio staff.

Dear Peach,
My partner has been spending a lot of time on their phone While I understand the need to connect due to the nature of their job, I also wonder often if the phone is causing a disconnect between us. It’s at dinner, it’s at home, and even when we were on vacation. After asking them to take a moment away from the phone for me, they became defensive. What do I do to reconnect while asking them to DISconnect?
Well, you are in a common dilemma that many people are facing this day in age.
COVID has forced a lot of people to work remotely which has negatively impacted home life for many; even those who live alone The lack of an office now forces these folks to turn the space that used to be their sanctuary and relaxation spot into a workspace. So now more than ever, people are connected in a way that removes them from the everyday.
Try having a conversation centered around understanding the need to stay connected for work but that it’s having an effect on you. Say that during dinner there are no phones, just you two.
When you’re on vacation, set boundaries about maybe working one hour a day but focusing on setting that Out-Of-Office message. Make sure you understand the necessities of their job, but don’t waiver from spending time together. You deserve that too.
