  I just returned from a fabulous weekend getaway from NYC to Boston! I’ve been on a mission to come up with fun weekend getaways that you can do somewhat on a budget. Boston seemed the perfect destination because you can take the train or even drive! In a

Get your ass to this discreet bar in east Harlem before it’s too crowded to get in (I know, I can’t believe I went to Harlem either, but guess what, it’s only 8 blocks away from my apartment–amazing or scary? You be the judge!) After being hit with a

Aloooooooooooooooooooooooha, ladies!! I had been dying to try out the Hurricane Club ever since I heard about its tropical, Tiki theme! It’s essentially a modern tiki bar with a fancy fusion twist! It gives you the feeling of a retro tropical bar but with a classy touch. Its high

Namaste, ladies! I just got back from my trip to Miami for my post-wedding getaway/Smartypanties review-trip (real honeymoon is scheduled for January next year in case you were wondering!).

Welcome to the other side of Lana’i–beach and sunshine.  The decor here was impeccable. Definitely had an asian flare but the overall theme again here was just pure serenity.  The staff was attentive but not in a way that you felt like they were hoping for a tip.  There

If ever there was an underdog for most luxurious hotel, this would be it.  I have to say of all the hotels I had booked for our Hawaiian getaway I was the least excited about this one.  I mean, I guess you think, Hawaii, beaches, etc. Not really lodgy,

Last weekend I had the pleasure of being an NYC tourist. Now, isn’t it funny that when you’re in other cities you do all the cheezy touristy activities but when you’re in New York you scoff at all the tourists taking pictures with the most mundane things (cue photos

Disney World isn’t only for the rich! I’m telling you there are ways to do it on any budget and still experience some luxury. So I just recently visited Disney World with my family for my Daddy’s 60th birthay. We’ve been big Disney peeps since I was little, visiting
