Founder & CEO of Love Squad, Peloton Instructor, and Host of Brooklyn Nets Ally Love doesn’t just consider Miami her hometown — it’s her sanctuary, and her favorite place to book a waterfront hotel room to relax and re-center with the sound of the ocean waves crashing along the shore in the distance. To bring this resting place to her real life, Ally designed her bedroom with a meditation area — complete with an oversized chair, beautiful greenery and essential oil diffuser; plus amazingly soft and chic bedding that’s powder blue and white like the ocean; armoires to store her Miami-worthy outfits; and more.

The Hambrick family is based in Miami, Florida, but they are all about bringing Broadway home this season! Their Hometrip is taking them to one of their truly beloved locales — New York City — right in their own backyard, complete with a projector and screen, a pizza picnic and a comfy patio set to relax in while they enjoy a show from the big city.
"Even though we live in Florida now we were all born in New York and it holds a very special place in our hearts," said Monet Hambrick. "Once spring hits in New York everyone is outside taking advantage of the weather and the activities are endless. Being able to recreate two of our favorite NY activities in one, movie nights in Bryant Park and watching Broadway plays means we can always have a piece of our first home even though we're thousands of miles away."
