Travel: 3 Days in London

Day 1: We arrived to our adorable hotel, The Ampersand, in South Kensington. Just minutes away from the tube, it’s the perfect location. The hotel itself has oversized velvet headboards, heated bathroom floors, monogrammed robes, and just a touch of over-the-top artsy decor. Needless to say, I loved it. We headed out to Buckingham Palace. …

Travel: Niagara Falls

Well, we recently returned from our latest adventure to Canada. We woke up at 3 a.m. (Yes, for those who know me, my Venti iced coffee was not-so-eagerly awaiting in the fridge.) We spent the morning driving through Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York until we finally reached Niagara Falls on the United States side. …
