Preparing for Goop’s Three-Day Detox

A silly sign that reads Pretox Detox Retox

Because of the serious calorie deficits, I’ve never thought that a juice cleanse or soup cleanse was a good idea (trendy or not, it doesn’t really sound like fun!)—but sometimes I find it hard to settle back into a healthy routine after returning home from a trip.

Exterior of North Square Oyster in Boston

Well, we didn’t get into Neptune Oyster. The Boston restaurant is well-known both for its seafood and its incredibly long lines (just Google it – you’ll read about both just in the page summaries alone).

A Review of Brunch at Milktooth in Indianapolis, Indiana

My birthday was a few weeks ago, and since it was on a Sunday I wanted to take advantage of the occasion and get away for the weekend. As I always do, I scouted some potential flights on Google Flights – and when it came time to choose the destination, Michael suggested picking the city …

A few weeks ago, Michael and I visited Tampa, Florida, for a quick overnight trip to treat his sisters to Bern’s Steakhouse as a belated Christmas gift. Shortly before heading home the following day, we decided to check out Oxford Exchange, a multi-use space near the University of Tampa that was originally built in 1891 …
