There are many great books I should be reading. Tons, really. But considering that most of my time is now spent chasing Lucy around the house, the park, or Chuck E. Cheese, I’ve narrowed down my choices, give or take an Oprah paperback, to these four favorites.

Girls & Beer
Saturday’s Wynwood Brewing Co. celebration found me with a baby and husband in tow around Wynwood’s colorful, art-loving, food-truck-gathering streets. This was Lucy’s first time out in that neighborhood and she seemed to be really amused by the graffiti walls and chalk-drawn sidewalks, not unlike her parents. Since she’s a Miami native, like her momma, we decided to capture a few shots to commemorate the visit to one of our city’s most iconic spots. The whole experience, though short because of the extreme heat, was really exciting for everyone – it’s not everyday you get to watch your little girl embrace some of the very things you enjoy yourself (minus the fermented stuff).
As a result of the experience, I wrote a piece for SimplyQ – a basic craft beer guide for ladies, something I hope you’ll find helpful. Feel free to check it out on their site. And to see more pics of Lucy romping around town, click on through.
Favorite Finds: Chairish
If I had the budget and means, I’d redecorate every few months, adjusting for seasons, whims and moods. But checking out the inventory at Chairish and creating these potential room accents around their vintage accent chairs was nearly as satisfying. Check out this site’s innovative take on buying, selling, and trading high quality, unique interior design items directly from their original owners – it’s the best thing to happen to estate sales since Craigslist. Oh, wait…
Layering Fragrances
I recently attended the Jo Malone launch at Nordstrom Dadeland and discovered my new obsession for layering fragrances. Here’s how the pros do it.
Brunch Society
Aperol’s recent Brunch Society invitation inspired me to check out three brunch spots in Miami I’d yet to try. Read ahead for my results.
Life & Yoga
A few months ago, after years of on-and-off yoga classes, I realized I needed a break in my day to, not only get some exercise, but also clear my head and find some inspiration. I then came across a YouTube channel called Yoga with Adriene and it’s been a daily practice since, something I’ve hardly ever been able to maintain before. From it, I realized there are quite a few simple but essential life lessons emerging from the mat. Here’s what I’ve learned from my daily practice.
Anjolee: The Art of Custom Jewels
Few things excite as much as the endless possibilities of customizing my own piece of jewelry. Oh, Anjolee… I’ll be on your site for days.
Bonefish Grill Menu Launch
When Bonefish Grill tells you they’re going to cook for you on a yacht while Mario Lopez hangs out and David Correy sings, you go. You just go.
