The moment we got the invite for glamping at a ranch, I was all on board! I know that may be hard to believe, but I love experiences with a twist. Up to this point, I had never been glamping and I definitely hadn’t spent any time on a ranch. Looking at the Westgate River Ranch instagram I knew that...

Where to begin…The Kimpton Sylvan Hotel is a modernized, mid-century gem tucked away in Buckhead, ATL – aka the Beverly Hills of the South. With a warm and inviting disposition, this property takes a refreshing approach of “anything goes” mid-century design. With small splashes of rusty orange, deep greens, punches of bold blues, and brass details across a creamy, bright...

After checking-in to our beautiful accommodations, we immediately hit up the restaurant for Brunch. Frannie & The Fox is the main restaurant and bar for the property offering...
Walking into Clerk’s Coffee at Hotel Emeline, I knew instantly I was in for a treat. If you’ve been to Charleston, you know Second State Coffee Roasters has some of the best coffee!

Listen, I can’t tell y’all how excited I was to be back in Charleston, SC! I must say I do miss it! One of the things that I miss most is having access to such cool places and such delicious restaurants. I know, I know, everywhere has great food and destinations, I’m just a little biased on what the Holy...
Relaxation and self-care has been a big focus for Grant and I. We tend to become workaholics and forget our bodies need some rest. We forget how good some R&R really is. When planning this trip, we knew we really wanted to get a massage and treat ourselves. On our second day in Charlotte, NC, we kicked off the day...
Are you ready for this? The Mico Restaurant at the Grand Bohemian Charlotte is probably the most stylish restaurant we’ve been to while traveling. The restaurant’s decor stays true to the property’s Argentinian flair with deep, rich colors, textures, intricate fixtures, and a hint of sexy. It was the perfect spot for us to reunite with some friends in Charlotte....
