I loved my trip to the Cassara Carlsbad!

Sometimes the best getaways aren’t far away—they’re a shift in scenery. This place gave me coastal views, California charm, and just enough distance from LA to feel like a true escape.

Conrad Tulum Maya Rivera is a gorgeous, ocean faci

Conrad Tulum Maya Rivera is a gorgeous, ocean facing hotel that offers modern architecture with views that merge the sky with the ocean.

I arrived at the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya under a luminous full moon. It was a sign of the transformation to come, in the Women’s Healing Retreat I was participating in, the next day. But, for my one night stay to adjust to the time change and energy of the land, I’m exceptionally happy I chose the Conrad Tulum Maya Rivera.

Once check in was complete and with my welcome drink in hand, I was whisked off to Casa 4, via cart.

Getting to my room, I was actually pleasantly surprised. The space was beautiful. With a separate water closet and bathroom, expansive bathroom vanity space and a separator between the main bedroom and the bathroom area. Plus, the balcony had a small soaking tub, which overlooked the expansive jungle landscape. Most importantly? The full moon illuminated the Gulf of Mexico in such a bright and brilliant way. It was a MOMENT and an experience.

After a late dinner at Kengai, the outdoor soaking tub was exactly what I needed to float the rest of my cares away. As I sat and stared at the horizon, making the water as hot as possible, I started to relax and recover from such a long day of flight and the ride from the airport. The full moon illuminated the trees and the ocean. In the distance, I heard various full moon parties beyond the Conrad. It was a night of merry making and celebration of the rhythms of life….

The Brickhouse Bar and Grill in Fernie, BC serves

The Brickhouse Bar and Grill in Fernie, BC serves flavorful dishes such as burgers and salads, perfectly complemented by craft beers and cocktails

Leaving Pincher Creek to make my way back to Montana for my flight back to Los Angeles, I wanted to take the most adventurous route. Yes, going back the way I came, back along the eastern slope of Glacier National Park was an option. But, I wanted more. I wanted to see more of what Southern Canada had to offer. It had been so long since I’d been in the visual pleasure of such remote wilderness. And I was determined to savor every bit of it.

So, at a comfortable point in the morning, I left Stardust Inn and Chalets to get gas. After getting my morning breakfast from Tim Hortons, I was on my way. I passed through Crowsnest Pass and saw the world’s largest truck in Sparwood before making my way to Fernie.

Dinner at The French Laundry. Table for one. Culinary Excellence.

My table at The French Laundry on this beautiful evening was a culinary dream come true. Achieving such a long-held dream felt like the culmination of years of desire. As I drove from Alila Napa Valley to Yountville, I felt such a profound sense of accomplishment and joy.

Walking over to the brilliantly beautiful blue door, I felt the manifestation of what was once impossible in my mind, become reality.

Checking in, I was ushered to my table. The crisp white linen was radiant. The fresh flowers smelled divine. My napkin, in three folds, held the infamous French clothing pen. I took a deep breath as I basked in the moment before me, ready for what was to come.

The evening opened with a glass of Krug Grande Cuvee 167 eme Edition NV Brut Champagne.

Culinary Class: Edible Flower Decorating and Rosé

Culinary Class: Edible Flower Decorating and Rosé at @ojaivalleyinn

The Edible Flower Decorating and Rosé at Ojai Valley Inn combined edible flower decorating with glasses of rosé for a creative and elegant experience at one of my favorite places in Southern California

It was a casual summer day that led me back to one of my favorite places in Southern California: The Farmhouse at Ojai Valley Inn. Driving from Los Angeles was – as expected. Traffic and delays had me arrive an hour and a half after my departure. But, once I moved through the gates and to valet, to park my car, I felt like I was a dimension away from Los Angeles.

Within minutes of hopping onto the guest shuttle, I was whisked away to The Farmhouse. As I quickly made my way into the demonstration room, I felt myself becoming – more of my full, final form of myself.

I cannot explain in mere words how much I absolutely love cooking classes at The Farmhouse. From the moment I walk to the doors, I feel that I’ve been mentally transported into a grand kitchen in a Nancy Meyers film: elevated, beautiful and fun.

After checking in, I was walked to my spot – which is my usual favorite: immediately in front, directly in front of the chef.

After light talking and sips of wine – cooking class began...

Have you had the Porsche experience yet? Check it

Have you had the Porsche experience yet? Check it out!

Sometimes the best flex is doing it for yourself. 💙 I didn’t need anyone to buy me the Porsche Experience—I booked it, slid behind the wheel of a Taycan Turbo, and hit the Acceleration Straight like FIRE. ⚡️ Sexy car, unforgettable day, and even better when I got to gift the experience to a friend who had my back. That’s my kind of karma.
