It seems like ages ago now, but on New Year’s Day we headed to Vermont for a Winter ski getaway in Stowe. Skiing in the Northeast can always be a little icy, but I love going to Vermont for a Winter ski getaway because there’s so much natural beauty and always lots of good food. This was our fifth… Read More
Bermuda Travel Guide
Bermuda was supposed to be a surprise. Late one night, I checked my Delta app to see what time we would return from our UK trip the week before and there it was. I knew we were doing something to celebrate my 40th birthday, but I secretly hoped it was something cozy and “fall-like”. My first reaction was to wonder, “Why… Read More
Harrogate Spa Weekend
Being married to a Brit means that there are occasions when, luckily for us, it’s necessary to travel to the UK. Even before I met David, I had a certain affinity for England – London especially – and last week I was fortunate enough to be able to explore more of the regal country with a Harrogate spa… Read More
Why Vacation is Healthy + A Summer Trip to the South of France and Ibiza
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
New York City Wellness Guide

That was then. Now, New York City is ranked among the 20 healthiest US cities and the NYC wellness resources available are… Read More
Miami: Two Incredible Seafood Restaurants in Brickell
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. A few years ago, David and I discovered that whenever we visit Miami, we prefer to stay in Brickell, a neighborhood in downtown Miami and the city’s financial… Read More
Two Historic Neighborhoods to Visit in Tampa
Last week I needed a little escape from New York City. I had just launched my Real Food Detox and met a few other looming deadlines. 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
Napa Valley Travel Guide
Last week David and I traveled to Napa Valley to celebrate our three year anniversary. It wasn’t our first time to wine country. We’ve made as many as six trips there in our nine years together. Each time we go, we experience a different part of the region in a different way. After a half-dozen visits, we’ve just about learned… Read More
Winter Weekend in Vermont
Embarrassingly, I haven’t left New York City since I got back from our trip to Dubai. If you live here, you understand that thriving here means leaving the city from time to time. (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
