Ever get vacation guilt? That feeling where guilt about lying around, ignoring your emails and not being productive creeps in? It happens and I daresay it’s happened to me. As much as I love vacation, as a small business owner, I tend to feel like the longer I’m on vacation the more my to-do list piles up. Apparently, it’s not… Read More
Photo by Katherine Mendieta Photography Once upon a time, I had a corner of this blog dedicated to Healthy Hot Spots – local restaurants that served up “healthy-ish” food which at the time was harder to come by. That was then. Now, New York City is ranked among the 20 healthiest US cities and the NYC wellness resources available are… Read More
Two trips to Florida in one month? I could get used to it. Earlier this month, we spent some time in Tampa and last week we spent a long weekend in Miami.

After weeks of focused work on-end combined with feeling down about the barre studio closing, my body and mind were in need of a getaway. David had meetings in Tampa, Fl. last week so… Read More

(i.e. as often as possible). So David and I packed up the car last Friday and decided to spend a winter weekend in Vermont. Truthfully, I just… Read More
How do you spend five days in Dubai? To be honest, we did a lot of lounging and reading by the pool, but we also squeezed in a few must-do activities. Let me back up though because this trip was supposed to be two weeks in Hong Kong and Thailand. Due to some unfortunate timing with David’s work schedule, we changed… Read More
Like lots of things during summer, my blogging has gone on a bit of hiatus. But I’m back for a minute to rave about our long weekend surprise trip to Shelter Island where we stayed at The Chequit Shelter Island. This trip came just as Summer seemed to settle into New England and we were greeted with the most perfect weather. Every Summer… Read More
