Applying for a passport and getting all of the logistics figured out can feel quite tedious. It can also be a lengthy and expensive process depending on how you go about it. From filling out passport applications and collecting all of your documents to scheduling a passport photo, it can get overwhelming. I get it — you just want to feel excited about an upcoming trip but the looming task of renewing or getting a new passport is intimidating. Plus, if you’re anything like me, then you likely put this on the bottom of your to-do list, moving it lower on the list week after week. This can obviously put you in a bind and cause your travel plans to get derailed, or cancelled altogether. Passport photos are certainly different from other pictures you take — there’s […]

When you think of a vibrant, lively bar scene it’s likely that your mind goes right to New York. Whether you’ve visited the city or not, everyone knows that the nightlife here is unparalleled. From rooftop bars to sneaky cool speakeasies, the places to get a good cocktail in NYC are seemingly endless. However, there’s one particularly great spot to get a drink in Manhattan—a hotel bar. There’s something that feels uniquely special about hotel bars. The ambiance is rich, the drinks are perfectly crafted, and the bartenders are particularly attentive. Not to mention the fact that it’s easy to meet interesting people in hotel bars. After living in the city my entire adult life, I’ve done my due diligence of visiting New York’s most beloved bars (tough work, I know). To help you plan […]

Kara Thompson — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 21:39:34 +0000

It seems like fall is everyone’s favorite time of the year. The cool and crisp weather. The cozy sweaters and cute booties. The pretty home decor and seasonal candles. The festive coffee drinks and hearty recipes. The season brings a new energy and coziness back into our lives after a long and hot summer. Truthfully, the pumpkin spice cake Nespresso pods might be my favorite thing about the fall, but I do get that there’s a lot to love about the start of a new season. I also think that it’s the perfect time to travel to a lot of destinations right here in the U.S. If you want to kick the season off on a high note, I’d recommend planning a festive fall girls trip.

Just ask any New Yorker and they’ll tell you that fall in New York City is without a doubt everyone’s favorite season. Locals come back from their summer escapades, the temps start to drop (which is must appreciated), and the city has a different energy when the leaves begin to change.

Four Seasons Bora Bora vs. St. Regis Bora Bora 2021: Which Resort is Better?

Lindsay Silberman — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 05:01:29 +0000

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I recently returned from a 10-day trip to Bora Bora. After I got back (and during the entire time I was there) the one thing everyone wanted to know was how I felt about the St. Regis Bora Bora vs. the Four Seasons Bora Bora. Since my husband and I stayed at both properties, we found ourselves continuously comparing the two. We kept thinking, if someone said to us “which hotel is better, the St. Regis or the Four Seasons?” … what would our response be? There were certain things I liked much better about St. Regis, and other things I liked much better about the Four Seasons. But let’s get one thing out of the way: if you are deciding between these two properties, you’ve […]
