With life being so uncertain lately, I’ve found myself drawn to products or apps that bring zen or serenity into my home. Earlier this year, I wrote about attending a sound bath session at a health & wellness conference in early March. It was very relaxing to listen to the sounds, be in the moment, and focus our collective energies in a guided meditation.

Lugano Swiss Bistro in Carmel {Foodie Review}
Earlier this summer, my family and I went on a road trip to Carmel-by-the-Sea.

I’ve made this trek up north many times as a child since I have family in the … [Read more...]

Hofsas House Hotel: Relax and Unwind in Carmel-by-the-Sea
Carmel-by-the-Sea is a delightful coastal town known for its wonderful shops, restaurants, and art galleries. As a child, I visited the Monterey area several times because I have family in the area.

What attracted me to Hofsas House Hotel is not only the location, but the fact that this charming boutique hotel is both family-friendly … [Read more...]
