A friend texted me on Black Friday and said, “drop what you are doing and sign up for this Black Friday deal at Miraval Spa, Austin”. Since you can cancel up to 30 days out, I clicked the link on the spot, and so began my “spa journey” … and I soon found out it was more than just massages and manicures!… Read More »

It’s the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center and I’ve always assumed it was a designer’s showcase only open to Interior Designers but I was WRONG. Turns out they’ve been open to the public for more than 10 years. … Read More »
