We had the good fortune of connecting with Loretta Barsotti and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Loretta, what do you attribute your success to?
For me, the most important factor to my brand is being genuine & honest to my audience. I started LALAINBOCA by sharing my life with my followers, unscripted and just being me. It was never about getting paid or being a job. I really just like sharing things and helping others with my recommendations and my experiences.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Well after being a stay at home mom for almost 12 years, I felt the need to do something for myself. I was sharing my life with strangers on the internet and sharing all of the things to do in Boca Raton and south Florida just to be helpful when someone told me that I could be monetizing on what I was doing and that’s how my business/brand came about

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well Boca Raton is home and I am a Club member of the Boca Raton (formally known as the Boca Resort) so I would start with a day at the club.
Morning workout , either tennis or pickleball and then an afternoon at the pool to enjoy the lazy river (maybe even a water slide) – have lunch by the pool before dinner in Mizner Park. I love Loch Bar or Kapow Noodle Bar.

Another night would take my friend to Delray Beach since it is very close so I enjoy Atlantic Ave – Hampton Social is a great spot for a girls night.

If it was a Sunday you’d catch me at a Miami Dolphins home game as my family is season ticket holders and we love to attend games.

Love a Miami trip to the 1Hotel , dinner at Papi Steak or dinner at Casa Tua.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would have to give a shoutout to my children Landon & Luca for being my reason behind LALAINBOCA. I started as a motherhood blogger. Always creating content for other moms based on my life with my children. So really owe it all to them
