Hard decision. Go with the chocolate in the bottom photo.
They both look delicious. One now and then one later. Lol. 🤣😇❤️

Drain the cruise ship pool or recycle it for drinking water, how much water is wasted on that luxury cruise line.
Sharing my knowledge on Treasures of Caribbean Shipwrecks with guests onboard @ritzcarltonyachtcollection Ilma. I’ll be talking about the piece at the top of the photo soon. Hint 🙂
Knowledge is power...You know your stuff...🤔🧐

The poster gives your hair a much lighter hue. Looks good. Try it out
Before I present my talk on the treasures I’ve discovered during my appraisal career, I had tea and a pedi onboard Ilma @ritzcarltonyachtcollection #art #travel #spa
Perfect combo: tea and toes
Do you feel like the Queen?
Pink polish💕 And lovin island music…always puts me in a good mood especially being at the islands.😊
It's a hard knock life you live.
Always good to be pampered at times!
Very nice !
She IS the Queen🥰
Color is pretty
Wow. That is fantastic. A pedi and tea 🍵. What a great trip. Love it 😀 😍 ❤️

What fun, Dr. Lori! You are a seasined traveller so I am going to ask you: what is your preferred cruise line?
OMG, I saw your feet nekkid & panicked, Dr. Lori ! Glad it was pampering & not pain!
Nice!
Chocolate anyone? Which dessert would you pick onboard Ilma? #RitzCarltonYachtCollection @ritzcarltonyachtcollection
You're on a cruise get them both
Brownie, although both look delicious. You at least get a little fruit with the brownie. Less guilt, right? 😎🌹
Cake, cake, cake! Always pick cake! You can get brownies anywhere!
Cake Resistance is not my middle name when it comes to chocolate cake 😊
Cake - it looks sinfully delicious
Too hard… probably the brownie
Cake.. but if it's on a ship and I can have both. I would probably half both.
Anyway you can have both? Yum!!
I prefer cake...
Brownie
Brownie - lol. But both look so yummy. 😋
Whichever one is bigger
Cake for me
They both look 👀 good...brownie for me...
The brownie. Yum!
Brownie. The more chocolate, the better!
Cake ! 😋
Cake, for sure🥰
They both look delicious
Both please !! I love chocolate .......
Cake. Marion
Both!
I gave up chocolate for lent but hey it’s Sunday! 😋
Both look good but I would pick the cake.
Brownie looks like dark chocolate. My favorite.
Strolling on shore with liquid sunshine 🙂
Sorry it rained, I love the beach at Sousua.
I love walking in the rain..one of my favorite things to do on the farm... have fun.
Dr Lori
One of our favorite ports!
Going there in 2 weeks! Any good finds?
We were there last year and totally enjoyed it!
Beautiful pictures ❤️❤️
We loved that port!
Awesome!
U R everywhere. I stopped flying The way the airports r today
Here’s what I had for breakfast—fruit plate and carrot and ginger juice. The juice was very strong. Do you juice?
I just started yesterday
Looking good, Dr. Lori!
I do …Acme has a decent green juice. Also, there’s a place called juice pod out in the suburbs of Philly. They have decent green juices and an excellent sesame Ginger chicken wrap
Not like it’s cane sugar people.
No. It would not stick.
How fun 😊
I wish I could juice. I love juice, but there's way to much sugar in fruit. It is delicious.
Occasionally I will throw a sliver of peeled ginger root in my smoothie…
Yum
Looks like poached eggs on English muffin....
Carrot juice is way too sweet for me.
Looks wonderful. What is your companion eating this morning?
My go to is ruby red grapefruit juice. I can drink it all day. Of course if you’re on a statin drug you’d need to avoid it. I love it!
I would carrot juice and have, other juices contain too much fructose for me.
Good choice!
No, as juice is full of sugar!
Looks delicious 😋 I had a pack of instant grits! 😂
I’m confused…. You went from helping us by showing us and teaching us about what’s great to pick up at thrifts and what’s not…. To now it’s mostly about your hair, your diet, your surgeries, where your going.. what your eating, how your feeling , how your skin is, how your hair is and what color it should be. I’m not even interested any longer because it’s all about you and your life. Write a book why don’t you about YOU.
Looks good. I drink orange 🍊 juice sometimes. 😋
Looks delish! I drink ginger daily in my tea….apple carrot strawberry juice is yummy too😊👍
It all looks great.
now that is a vitamin and mineral packed breakfast!!
That looks so good!
What are you having for #breakfast ?
The tofu, just for a change
So much to choose from
Not sure for breakfast maybe fudge ice cream coffee for sure
Caramelized waffle sandwich
I love a good breakfast sandwich.
Hubby cooked blueberry pancakes
Pancakes and scrambled eggs
Lots of choices! The avocado toast sounds yummy!
Always lobster 🦞 anytime 😊
You looked great on the Drew Show!
Pan seared boneless pork chops and then finished in a Birria type sauce for 30 minutes, it was very good.
How about a tour of your suite? Little fun fact… I met you on a REGENT SEVEN SEAS cruise in 2012/3. It was amazing cruise of the Baltics and we even got to visit St Petersburg Russia!
Coffee.
Continental Selection, Coffee & water
What did you order?
I’m out. This isn’t about vintage thrifting knowledge anymore . Lori is turning it into herself now
More sun, some tan, tons of fun! Dance party last night onboard Ilma @ritzcarltonyachtcollection
Looks glorious! ☀️ 🌊 🏖️ Enjoy!
Nice tan!
You're looking all tan. It's very warm here. I actually flipped the air conditioner on
You need more sunscreen on your nose. Or did you drink to much alcohol 🍸 🤔 😆
And a beautiful tan!! Thank you for posting your adventures!!
Time for a Dr Lori Cruise.....
You are really going to be tan when you come home. Great weather where you are. Enjoy. 😀❤️🙏
Enjoy!
You have to go snorkeling. You're not going to sink because it's salt water. I'm in my '60s and I go all the time including diving down but I know how to use the snorkel to clear it before you get up
Do you always travel alone?
You look fabulous, darling.
Wow! Enjoy every minute!!!
So you are working! Not a bad way to work 🙂 Enjoy
Have a terrific trip!
Have a beautiful day! You are looking glowy and relaxed.
Missing out on the fun but sending all my positive energy your way! Have a treasure-filled day 🌟
Your having so fun! So happy for you! Enjoy yourself
What a back drop
Have a great time. We cruised there a couple years ago.It is beautiful there.
I’m a newbie to your site but I’d like to travel more and it would be fun to join you for classes on a cruise ship or a river boat like the Viking.
Looking good Dr. Lori. PTL viewers love you. Have fun in the sun
Jealous! Enjoy!
Have lots of fun
I wanna be you when I grow up 😍🤗♥️
Turks and Caicos 🇹🇨 is a great place enjoy!
