Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and the time has come to really show your love some love. Despite the fact that some people think Valentine’s Day has become too commercialized with all the cards, flowers, chocolates, and heart-shaped gifts, Valentine’s Day is still a very romantic day! So I’ve compiled a short list of gifts that any woman would love to receive.

Wanderlust Wednesday: Wellness & Fitness Retreats
When wanderlust hits me, I tend to look at far away places like Paris, the Maldives, Cabo, Bali, Australia, London, Italy… Heck, I would just love to be on a beach somewhere soaking up the sunshine, digging my toes in the sand, and not having a care in the world. But recently, I have been looking at fitness and wellness retreats like New Horizon Escapes, and Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona. There are more retreats detailed HERE. Fitness retreats like these offer people the opportunity to get healthier, not to mention fitter, stronger, and hopefully happier. New Horizon Escapes […]

I want to live a simple life, but there is just so much stuff out there that I want. Last year, I wrote a blog post […]
Winter Styles You’ll Want to Copy
The first and second big snows of 2016 have hit the East and I must say, I love it! I love the look of stylish winter coats, and like many other women, I try to incorporate the styles I see on the street into my own personal style. Right now, I toggle back and forth between my Harley Davidson coat and my grandfather’s railroad puffer jacket (which makes me feel like he’s always got his arms around me). But I also love the look of a classy coat, like these from Bloomingdale’s. Photo Source: Bloomingdale’s 1. SAM. Freestyle Down Jacket […]
The Timeless Beauty of Adaline
“A young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After many solitary years, she meets a man who complicates the eternal life she has settled into.” (Source: IMDb) Narrator: On December 31, 2014, a taxicab traveled through San Francisco, from Chinatown to Marin. The car carried a single passenger: a woman, her birth name Adaline Bowman, current alias Jennifer Larson. This is the first and last chapter of her story. (Source: IMDb) I recently watched The Age of Adaline, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Like The Curious Case of […]
