Yes, you read that title correctly! In the most outlandish time for feasting each year I began to think about what a detox would look like…especially during the holidays. With that in mind I discovered that it’s really 12 days and it’s not scary at all and even may perhaps start off the new...
Perhaps there is no other place like Rome. The history, the architecture, the food …ahhh! It is a rare opportunity to actually find in one place the richness of culture that Rome has to offer. This makes Rome both a desirable place to visit but an intimidating one as well. Things to know before...

Have you ever kept a diary? I remember getting those cute little one’s that had a lock and key back through my teen years. I would actually use mine to make lists and goals for myself and sometimes jot down stuff that I did not want to forget. In college I had to keep...
