Dolce Far Niente: The Sweetness Of Doing Nothing

As I was snuggling into bed last night watching one of my favorite Julia Robert’s chick flicks called Eat Pray Love, a scene appeared praising a daily Italian act called Dolce Far Niente. It translates: The sweetness of doing nothing. Surrounding myself {like we all do!} with the hustle and bustle called life, I begin [...]

There’s No Barking Back!

Looking for the perfect pooch come fall? I stumbled across two of the most adorable pup stores {conveniently both right down the street from each other might I add!} that were too fab not to post! Overhearing that Katie Holmes stopped into Citipups last week, it was a must to see what these little guys [...]

Gourmet Slurppin’

Long gone are the days of snow cones and chasing the ice cream truck down the street…there’s a icy cool new phenomenon in town! Two words: People’s Pops.

Konnichiwa Queen

I’ve always had a huge interest in learning how to make the raw but oh so delicious dish we call sushi. But, every opportunity to take a class {whether on Gilt City, etc} never worked out with the strict times and high prices! So, yours truly marched right on over to her favorite sushi chef [...]

Simply Recover With Simply PB

Burning over 800 calories in Barry’s Bootcamp? You better bet I’m going to want {plus my body needs!} protein right after…pronto! But if you’re anything like me, fueling up on more calories than burned post workout so ain’t my thing. That’s why I’m totally obsessed with a smoothie called Simply PB. Hola! Housed inside Barry’s [...]

Oh, The Little Things!

But thanks to Social Society, I’ve checked one investment off my list! Perfect for storage in your dining or living room, these bar carts will last for a [...]

Don’t Forget That Powdered Sugar Now…

Buttery, rich and velvety chocolate has my name written all over it. So when I spotted this decadent-looking brownie recipe in a cookbook stirred up in Thomas Keller’s fabulous Ad Hoc restaurant, I knew it just had to be made! Was it the melted butter hugging the cocoa and chopped chocolate into a long kiss? [...]

Sky High Summer Partying

Whether it’s at a wedding, family celebration or just a dinner party, Sky Lanterns {or known as Kongming Lanterns in China!} have been believed for over a hundred years to make wishes come true by lighting up a lantern and letting it go to the sky. The flame you light makes them rise, and until [...]

It’s The Liquor Store REDefined!

With today marking the final day of my new Nashville go-to’s, I just had to save my favorite way to “wine down” this summer for last! It’s called RED Spirits & Wine, and this place has been the talk about town with its recent opening earlier this year…hola! Located on the tip of Bellevue and [...]

Perfect Tease. Perfect Spot!

A few years back, I had the pleasure of being introduced to an ultra talented, fashion savy and one of a kind hair stylist from NYC named Darryl Allen. Every time I visited Nashville, I would make sure to schedule blowouts with him at least two weeks in advance {couldn’t stand not to make his [...]
