This month has been stacked with travel, meaning that I’ve been doing a ton of unpacking and re-packing. At this point, I’ve become a huge fan of anything that makes the packing process simple and painless (carry on, ONLY). In April I was a bridesmaid in the wedding of...
Happy Memorial Day! On this national holiday intended to honor our troops, I thought it might be night for me to highlight a hotel here in our nation’s capital. Last week I celebrated my birthday by doing the two things I love most – eating and exploring hotels!
Every once in a while my travels take me to a hotel that checks off all of my “LOVE” boxes: strong sense of place, excellent service, incredible dining and loads of amenities. When I find these hotel gems, I can’t help but sing its praises to everyone I know. ...
Well unfortunately yesterday’s Food Friday post didn’t publish for some reason, so here it is under the guise of Food Saturday! I’m going to be up front and say that there won’t be a TON of food in this post but I’m sure you’ll be ok. Let’s continue with...

Happy Food Friday blog family! Before we get into the delicious dining experience that is the Golden Pheasant Inn, I have to yet again apologize for my disappearance. I’ve been working nonstop and to be honest, falling asleep with my laptop on my chest and going slightly blind. Glamorous! Anyway, I’ve had...
Two Food Friday’s in a row have gone by and I didn’t get a chance to post! Bad Shayla! Welp, welcome to Food Saturday! This is the first and hopefully last one because I’m a fan of alliteration and “Food Saturday” just doesn’t do it for me. Anyway, although...
Hello from New York! I came up to the city yesterday to spend a couple days here for a friend’s graduation and I had to make a stop at one of my favorite bakeries. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I am a sweets freak. My sweet tooth...
