Destination Pretty: Amangiri Hatha Yoga Retreat

Hatha Yoga Retreat

I just got back from St. Maarten and I’m ready to hit the road again. This was the first trip in a long time where I was committed to some type of movement every day. I was definitely walking a lot, but I was able to sneak in small amounts of yoga here and there. [...]

Julia’s 30 Before 40

30 Before 40

It was hard coming up with this list. Travel is a major part of my life and I’m fortunate to be able to travel as part of my job. I don’t have a particular place I need to visit before turning 40. There are places I still plan on visiting, but that’s an entirely different [...]

Destination Pretty: Don’t Care Travel Pouch

Pamela Barsky Zip Pouch

Whenever I travel I carry tons of pouches. I like to separate my toiletries into categories – face, hair, body, etc. I also use pouches to carry my snacks, tea, and other inflight accoutrements I may need. Plus, if something spills it’s not all over my clothes. Since I don’t sleep on planes I need [...]

Destination Pretty: Rancho La Puerta – Fitness Resort & Spa – Part One

Rancho La Puerta

Man plans and God laughs. This has been a favorite saying of mine and it rang true this past April. I have always believed in living well which includes beauty, travel, food and wellness. I feel I can conquer anything. But, when a diagnosis of hypothyroidism hit me I realized I may have been taking [...]

This Time a Year Ago . . .

The Wedding

It has been said that time flies when you are having fun, but who knew it would be this much fun. A year ago I walked into a courthouse in Maryland and said “I Do” to an amazing man. After an exhilarating and fun courtship, heated debates on politics, current events and traveling the world [...]

Destination Pretty: Graphic Image E-Reader Case

E-Reader

I’m Team Kindle. I love my iPad, but when I want to truly read on an e-reader I pull out my Kindle. I can read it on the couch and in direct sunlight. It’s made for readers. When I pick it up I’m not surfing the web or playing Solitaire. I’m reading. Do I still [...]

Destination Pretty: Kate Spade “Westward” Travel Wallet

Kate Spade Westward Travel Wallet

Luxury to me is about an experience. Although travel right now can be a hassle I have to roll with the punches. To me it means being organized, lots of deep breaths, and the anticipation of the journey ahead. That journey can be made even better with the Kate Spade “Westward” Travel Wallet. Kate Spade [...]

Destination Pretty: JPK Paris “Large Trekker” Nylon Satchel

JPK Large Trekker

I’m always on the search for different and useful travel bags. I’ve learned from trial and error one of the worst things is being in an airport with an overloaded bag on your shoulder. Leather is great, but it can get heavy. I carry multiple technology items (iPad, Kindle, Macbook), camera, wallet, makeup bag, and [...]

Destination Pretty: La Torretta Lake Resort & Spa

La Torretta Lake Resort & Spa

It’s official summer according to the calendar and this Texas is looking forward to returning to visit the South this week, but praying for a return when I can head to La Torretta Lake Resort & Spa. La Torretta is located an hour outside of Houston and is a great getaway. The resort is kid [...]

Summer Lovin’ – Beach Bag Essentials

Summer Loving Beach Bag 1

“Summer Lovin’ and the living is easy.” I can write a book on how much I love summer. I have to admit that I’m over what I deem as brutal winters. I realize it’s colder in other places far longer than DC, but the Southern girl in me will always crave heat, flip flops, maxi [...]
