October 26, 2016April 21, 2024

So, I had to laugh today. I was at work (my “real” job) and I was in an all day meeting. So, breakfast and lunch were provided by our dining services company.    They had Orange Cucumber “Spa” Water.   Now clearly, in a conference room, in the middle of an office building on a meeting all...

Sometimes its hard to find a good spa.  Even though I look at all the sites – SpaFinder, TripAdvisor, Searches, Other Blogs Articles and Rankings, I am sometimes surprised by what comes rated fairly highly on those sites versus my own experience.   I talked previously about a trip I was taking for work in Tampa,...

Green Juice

September 4, 2016April 21, 2024

I love a good green juice. I think I first got inspired by visiting the Lodge at Woodloch.  I saw on their breakfast menu they had a Kale, Spinach, Cucumber and Apple Juice.  I had always been big on smoothies, although I never really put much dairy in those, just blended fruit and maybe some...
