An addition to my hotel wish list
As I reviewed my list of hotels I want to visit, I noticed something. When I’m thinking about where I want to travel, I typically think of the U.S. and Europe. Add to that, I don’t think I have come up with a hotel that is a must-see for me based in Africa. Today, I’ll…

Where I want to go
As much as I like to write about travel, I’m realizing now that I don’t travel all that much. It seems like I hit up variations of the same city. (New York, I am still trying to learn you.) But if my finances were to change, I have a growing list of places I want…

Favored brands
There was a time in my life where I went about collecting quotes almost literally. In tiny handwriting, I covered a sheet of cardstock with as many as called to me. But there was one that I wrote out with a thick-tipped marker, filling the page: Fortune favors the brave. It was something that I…

What I noticed about my skin after doing the Sakara detox
When Whitney Tingle and Danielle Dubose started Sakara, a huge motivation for doing so was a food-based approach to healing acne. In a cruel fit of irony, I have ended the Sakara summer program with some of the worst acne I have ever experienced. I am sitting here now with large bumps along my left…

The sweet scent of Holy Peony
I wanted to wear something feminine, there was something about that day that just called for something pretty. Why not Holy Peony from the Christian Dior La Privée Collection? It is floral, slightly sweet, and ever so slightly fruity. It was exactly the kind of scent for the mood I was in. Holy Peony eau…

It was stupid expensive, but also perhaps exactly what I needed. It was a way of affirming a truth: I am worth the sacrifice. I was tired…

More on what to expect with the Sakara Level II Detox : Experience
I decided to take on the Sakara Level II Detox in a time in my life when I needed to reset. I was feeling burnt out and mentally exhausted. My diet was trash. I just generally wasn’t taking care of myself like I knew I should and could. Something needed to change, so I went…

Here’s what to expect if you do the Sakara Level II Detox: Logistics
Before I tried Sakara, I was scraping the internet for information on what to expect. People talked about the food, but I wanted to know the logistics. (Don’t worry I’ll give more details on the experience in a later post.) Now that I’ve tried the Level II Detox, I will happily let you know what…

The big misunderstanding about Sakara
During my trial of Sakara, I told myself that in order to do this “diet” right for the program, I should eat vegan on the other days. I continued to do research to figure out what the founders do. But in a podcast, Whitney Tingle spoke about eating burgers on the weekend. When asked about…

Think about this, beyond the salads
Picture this. You are in your twenties dealing with the kind of acne you thought you would have left way back in your teens. And yet, here you having fully exhausted all the solutions possible from your dermatologists. You decide to do the research yourself. You decide to change your diet and finally start seeing…
