In case you missed it…

Hi friends! I know I have been a bad little blogger lately but please know that I haven’t been a bad little writer!  I’ve been freelancing a lot, so I want to make sure you’ve seen a few of my latest stories.  Hopefully this will help to inspire you to plan...

Food Friday: Danzante Restaurant at Villa del Palmar

The meal I had at Danzante restaurant was the best meal I’ve ever eaten at an all-inclusive resort.  I’d like to preface that bold statement by offering the small disclaimer that it is also the first meal I’ve ever had an all-inclusive resort.  What is it about all-inclusives?  I guess the...

Mission San Javier – San Javier, Mexico

Our second day in Mexico is one I like to refer to as the longest day in history.  I’m obviously being dramatic, but I just mention that so that you know that there may end up being three posts all about the same day haha. A portion of this day...

Ill Street Blues

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the opening event for the newest exhibit at the Corcoran College of Art + Design – Ill Street Blues.  The college-organized exhibit was an ode to the often misunderstood world of street art and graffiti, as students and street artists displayed their...

Travel Tuesday: Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto

It’s time to visit America’s other neighbor!  Last week I had the pleasure of attending a media trip to the Baja California region of Mexico.  It was quite the trek from DC, requiring an overnight layover in Los Angeles and then a two-hour flight from LA to Loreto, Mexico. ...

Food Friday: Golden Pheasant Inn

Happy Food Friday blog family! Before we get into the delicious dining experience that is the Golden Pheasant Inn, I have to yet again apologize for my disappearance.  I’ve been working nonstop and to be honest, falling asleep with my laptop on my chest and going slightly blind.  Glamorous!  Anyway, I’ve had...

DC Life – Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s at the Corcoran Gallery of Art

Last week I visited the Corcoran Gallery of Art for the first time to view a new exhibit about the subculture of graffiti, rap, go-go and punk scene in D.C. during the 1980s and early 90s.  Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s showcases the birth of an underground...

Levain Bakery

Hello from New York! I came up to the city yesterday to spend a couple days here for a friend’s graduation and I had to make a stop at one of my favorite bakeries.  I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I am a sweets freak.  My sweet tooth...

Summer Scheming: Music Festivals

Gosh, I tell myself I’m going to start blogging regularly then disappear for five days, sorry guys! I hope you had a great President’s Day weekend! Did you go anywhere? I spent most of the weekend working and I’m nowhere near where I need to be, but I wanted...

Food Friday: Ess-a-bagel

When it comes to breakfast, New York City is the city of bagels.  New York prides itself on the bagel – the perfect, filling breakfast for on-the-go New Yorkers.  I personally stopped eating bagels once I read that calorie wise, one bagel is equal to five slices of bread (yikes!),...
