Travel
Despite luggage space being at a premium, I’ve often sacrificed precious shoe space for my workout clothes, sneakers/trainers and good intentions (thinking I’ll find a cool yoga, barre or cardio class in my destination or at the hotel). I’ve found that I rarely get to the local gym or boutique […]
I miss the brain freeze you get when eating a good pint of ice cream. I didn’t give up ice cream voluntarily, my body decided for me when I started experiencing lactose intolerance symptoms in my early 30’s. Once I was diagnosed, I became the food buzz kill at restaurants […]
Six hours and fifteen minutes. That was my layover in London’s Gatwick airport on the way to Amsterdam (AMS) airport before my transit to Rotterdam. If this was Singapore Changi airport, then six hours is easy layover to keep busy but in Gatwick it just seemed awful to be stuck […]
I warn everyone “set aside a few hours to browse the OneFineStay website as it’s a rabbit hole of “Wow!” As you dream of renting a luxury million dollar home, flat, mews house or villa that people actually live in…yes, actually live in…you wonder if this qualifies as “living like […]
Your flight has been canceled – what do you do? In the U.S., probably cry, get stressed out trying to salvage things and hope for an open seat the same day. Well, if you are originating in Europe, you can actually get canceled flight compensation if you meet all the […]

Last year, I discovered a comfortable German shoe company, Waldlaufer that you’ve probably never heard of – I hadn’t until Benjamin Lovell Shoes introduced me. Since then, I’ve been a (super) fan of the shoe company wearing my Waldlaufer Jasmin Henni Oxford every day since my sandals were put away […]
If you are reading from the U.S. this week, I’m sure you’ve seen or heard the soundbite “…eat only six French fries as a portion” – yes, we all laughed because who can only eat six individual fries? I know that fries aren’t quite healthy but they are really tasty […]
It’s no secret, I’m a chocoholic. I developed this chocolate sweet tooth later in life and as I get older, I’m definitely more selective in what I choose to indulge in. So when I planned my last-minute trip to Rotterdam and Belgium (Bruges and Ghent), I knew I needed to […]
