Read MoreIn a town like Savannah, where everything has been the same for years, it’s easy to spot when something new opens up. It took us all of two seconds to notice Blends, the new coffee shop towards the end of East Broughton Street. It’s nice to have something – particularly a coffee shop for chilling in…
Read More“Sweet & Sour” is my version of that dinner table game where every guest says what the best and worst parts of the day were. As we head into the weekend, I think it’s important to get the bad stuff off your chest and remember the positives as a silver lining and energizing factor. When…

After reading The Secret Place, I was down to read another Tana French thriller. I really enjoyed it but was frustrated by the number of loose ends left at the end. Detectives Ryan and Maddox are summoned to work on the case of a young girl who was murdered in the woods of a Dublin…

Read MoreI’m so excited to head to Savannah tomorrow night! While my last trip home was lightning quick, this one will be a nice 5-night vacay. This time, my beau will be joining me, which will make the trip even nicer. I’m also happy to squeeze in a night out with a friend before leaving town –…
Read MoreSushirittos (a burrito made of sushi with seaweed instead of a tortilla) are an official craze. It started in San Fran and pretty much hit every big city outside of NYC…until now. There are finally a few places to get these sushi burritos, one of which is conveniently (for me) located in UrbanSpace Vanderbilt. Hai…
Read MoreAmerican expats living in Hong Kong are in their own little bubble. These expat women live fabulous lives where drivers, live-in help, and weekend jaunts to Thailand are the norm. But their community is quite insular and, often, every face they see is white and the gossip mill churns constantly. Most of these women have moved…
