Watching squirrels go by
As I walked around Boston Commons, I saw a curious thing: Squirrel photo sessions. People feeding squirrels. People gleefully pausing to try and interact with squirrels. It was baffling to me. Why were people so excited to interact with these rodents? Why were they so excited to potentially touch an animal that I know more,…

Mida is a must-go to restaurant if you’re visiting Boston
When I asked for restaurant recommendations on my recent trip to stay in the Seaport District of Boston, I was told that I had to go to Mida. It would be worth the trip. So there I found myself, taking buses and trains out to the South End location on a rainy day. I popped…

Tasting the cuisine at Fox & the Knife
Fox and the Knife is nestled in south Boston, technically walking distance from the Seaport District area hotel I was staying at. But it’s Boston, and winter is cold. We opted for a ridiculously short Uber ride instead a walk. We made a reservation at the bar, so we had no trouble being seated on…

My unsung hero of this year: Ilia Base Face Milk
Yet again, my hero product for this year is a milky toner. And by hero, I mean that the Ilia Base Face Milk came into save the day when other products were leaving my skin dry. This is the product that I used underneath the mineral sunscreens I was testing to add more dewiness into…

Giving Vanilla 28 yet another chance
I have this tiny vial of Vanilla 28 from Kayali. Even though I hated it on first spray I decided to keep it for a particular reason: I hoped that it would get better with time. Or rather I discovered that it did. This is the fragrance that I continue to give another chance. Even…

So how are the restaurants at the Omni Hotel Boston Seaport?
During my stay at the Omni Hotel Boston at the Seaport, I made sure to try as much of the restaurants as I could. Because I booked through American Express, I got a head start with the daily breakfast credit. I used that to get a daily taste of Kestra. My first morning, I ordered…

More things at the Omni Seaport
Yesterday, I wrote up a quick review of my room at the Omni Boston Hotel at Seaport. Today, I want to focus on some of the other amenities I enjoyed. First, let’s take a moment for the art. Art in hotels is not novel, but this was a particular take that spoke to me. Shoes:…

Quick stay at the Omni Seaport
I visited Boston in the late fall. The hotel: Omni Hotel Seaport. It is a true conference center hotel. It had an expansive lobby, a huge number of rooms, and of course was right across the street from the conference center. In the lobby was a collection of eclectic art. There were sculptures of shoes…
