New Year, New Destinations: Catch Up + Slow Down in Calif. Central Coast ! #travel

I love to travel. The biggest issue is always finding the time. I have to say that I was so looking forward to getting out of “Dodge”, i.e., leaving LA & traffic behind and just hitting the road to head up the coast for a couple of days. I had virtually all of this planned for a get-away trip meets editorial in a “familiarization” trip or what I call “explore and editorial” trip. It allows me...

It’s Jan. 2015: I Am Dying for a Great Massage But Where to GO? HOME.. with SOOTHE!

I have been — of late- incredibly busy. With the construction on the new house still going on (so much for Thanksgiving deadlines!) What I notice most is that the last quarter of the year took a lot of effort. I realize I missed some things and I wish I had spent a little more time taking care of me rather than the stuff going on around me.
