Fabulous. Just fabulous. 🙏🏻❤️ i’ve been scouting the best places to eat and did not disappoint from its bone marrow to its prime beef. It was absolutely delicious! The stand strong as my new favorite hotel chain for the past few years, and absolutely holds the best bars of any hotel anywhere in the world. Once again you prove yourself as the best of the best. 💕🌴🥂

CSA from Snow peas and sugar snap peas, sautéed with great olive oil, my garden garlic and a little bit of . That’s all you need. It’s absolutely finger licking.

This IS the best bottle of wine in the WORLD. Anyone who really knows me has tasted this and knows this is true. Last case. Truly.

I don’t really know what I’m doing at the gym, but I created a little routine and I like to mix it up. I’ve actually been working out for over two years, but I just finally started to see results …. this is because I went to a Doctor (who I fully expected to tell me I was experiencing inflammation, and that all of my belly weight was this horrible inflammation situation) but instead she basically told me I was old and fat lol but I liked the honesty. We talked about calorie deficit and while I pleaded my case to her insisting I only ate sticks and berries and know all the tricks, she wasn’t buying it. Now you would think I would know what calorie deficit is, but I really wasn’t eating much and while I love to cook I’m not a big eater, I never was, and I hate sweets, but when you start paying attention to every little thing, that’s actually what it takes to lose weight when you are in your 40s and beyond. I’m making it fun though. I love following this guy , he makes the best lettuce wraps. I also get very creative in the kitchen and I watch my portions carefully. At the gym I’m really enjoying floor exercises. I kind of make them up as I go, but I think that’s probably the most fun I have at the gym, other than weights, I love weight lifting. I hate cardio. I hate it so much and it’s probably the most important thing that I need for weight loss. I find that if I call someone that likes to talk a lot it goes quicker because while music is good, it doesn’t move the clock as quick as a solid conversation. I’ve made many deals on the treadmill, so I can’t complain, and I do also like to tell people I’m on the treadmill, I feel then at least I get credit for that! 😍 Well this writer is signing off. It’s a rainy day and I felt like posting this little piece, and it motivates me to keep on going.💪

Spring Lake Garden Tour 2026 🌸 Spring Lake is known for its beautiful homes, serene atmosphere, and of course pristine beaches, but there is another hidden gem that’s a big part of Spring Lake and its tucked away behind these grand homes and is something most people are not aware of. While the landscaping efforts of the homeowners can be seen in their front yards, through blooming hydrangeas, roses, tulips, daffodils, and clean sharp edging, when you walk onto these properties and into the backyard spaces, you start to see the personalities of the residents shining through in the most unique and special ways. Attending the biannual Spring Lake Garden tour was a privilege and also being part of the club has been a great experience, especially getting to know some of these home gardeners and their incredible displays of creativity tucked in their beautiful backyard gardens. There are moving trains, opulent she-sheds with mirrors, chandeliers and crystal, beautiful handmade bird houses decorating posts of hand forged arched wood fences and lovable personal touches that reflect the different personalities of the homeowners, all of which warmingly reminds me that this town is a diverse collection of creative and cool people when you get to walk past the fences. 💚
