Tweet I first entered The Royal Sonesta over 7 years ago and on that day my love for it was born. Throughout the years since we have stayed at this hotel more than any other hotel so when I was invited on a media trip, of course I said yes! THE VIEW The...

Tweet This past holiday season I received an invitation to an Ugly Sweater party. I squealed in excitement because I have always wanted to attend one. I thought of hosting one several times but I always felt everyone wanted to wear their fanciest to a...

Tweet Do you ever want to press PAUSE? Do you ever want to get away, but not too away because time??? Do you ever hold your breath, waiting to exhale and hoping that you can breathe out the chaos? We are a family which schedules downtime religiously but...

Tweet A little while back I attended a prayer ceremony of a friend which stirred up some thoughts that I have not been able to shake off. Thankfully so. Now I think it would be fair to confess I am a borderline atheist, so I approach festivals etc with...

Tweet The pressure on the right opening for writing after a hiatus, more like hibernation,  is only offset by my desire to get back to writing. It has been a (very) long time and I have no good reason other than a mixture of lukewarm reasons (lazy/jaded/busy)....

Tweet   Summer is rough but I was still hoping to catch Kubo and the Two Strings but sadly I missed one screening and this one I’m away. If you’re lucky to be here and you’re local you should totally make your way down to see it....

Tweet   There are some movies which wane after the first release and it becomes hard to capture the original momentum. Not so with Ice Age! I have watched every over ferociously with my kids. I think I may actually own a DVD of each one too. This...

Tweet Lululemon is the icon when it comes to women’s active wear, so you can have high expectations from ivivva (the tween active wear) from them.  There are many ways that tweens and teens are becoming more adult like and frankly most of them...

Tweet Personally I can never understand people who text and drive. No, not because it is illegal and you can get caught but because it is dangerous. Very, dangerous! A staggering more than 98 million Americans (!) get ready to hit the road for the...

Tweet I don’ know about you but I typically struggle with buying gifts for guys. Part of it may be attributed to the fact that I come from a family of 5 sisters and no brothers, or part of it could be because maybe the females in my life have been...

Tweet One stop shop this holiday season at AT&T where anyone and everyone can be gifted. A few of my favorites are: The Ion Clipster Active I love that it is wireless and BlueTooth enables! The fact that it is waterproof means that it is safe around...

Tweet The following post has been sponsored by AT & T! This summer I moved to a new home. It is on a cul-de-sac and has a dream kitchen (we built it) but my favorite thing about the home is that I am 5 minutes away from the mall. I know! So while...

Tweet I’m a huge Pixar fan! Animation which manages to entertain adult and child alike. Inside Out hits the sweet spot for me for so many reasons like the female protagonist, the emotional roller coaster and of course the amazing cast (Poehler and...
