My St.Lucia Memory, via Jonathan Guy Gladding

A great souvenir can remind you of a special moment, an object that will represent your journey, and can be the prompt for a story. I’m not referring to a t-shirt, mug, or […]

Why I Love Traditional Korean Spas

Drive By- Blow Drybar
Today my daughter decided to drop in for an impromptu blowout at the drybar. I’m a curly girl now, but for many years I was a long-haired “straight” hair done weekly girl. A big part of my life revolved around a minimum three hour weekly ritual at the salon. These no cuts, no color, 30 […]
