Last week I spent most of the week at TBEX, a conference for travel bloggers. While there I met many fabulous people, exchanged business cards, talked about Twitter and Instagram. Above all, I made some new friends. When I saw this tweet pop up, I was amused: “@FloridaKeysGirl This may […]

Some say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I disagree, but that is a topic for another day. If breakfast is so important, brunch is certainly the most momentous meal of the week, right? I think so. I am not alone in this, either. There is a reason […]
You know how I love to give you stuff, just because you swing by and read my blog? Well, it’s that time of year again! The 2016 Key West Food and Wine Festival promises all sorts of fun, with dinners, brunches, bourbon, seminars and exclusive events. The 2016 Key West […]
When I was in high school, my friends and I would take turns walking on each other’s backs. The pressure felt good, even with our perfectly healthy spines. Little did I know then that it would become a thing. Enter Ashiatsu Deep Tissue massage.
