I love a good tea party! So when I met up with two wedding industry friends in Philadelphia, it was perfect that we headed to The Dandelion for afternoon tea. It’s an adorable British pub in Rittenhouse Square and a great spot for a mid-day meetup. I met Brittani of Brittani Elizabeth Photography and Lauren…
I love the wave of cat cafes that seem to be opening all around the country (and the world). When my friend Saira asked if I wanted to check out Kit Tea in San Francisco, I jumped on it! To be honest, I’m more of a dog person, but I was still intrigued by the prospect…
On a lovely December day, I met up with my friend Saira for afternoon tea at Tal-y-Tara in the Richmond District of San Francisco. Tal-y-Tara is a unique combination of tea shop and polo shop– and it’s not just the decor. They actually sell plenty of stuff for all your equestrian needs. It was a fun, eclectic…
My love affair with reading blossomed in 2015, bolstered by a new purchase toward the end of the year: my kindle paperwhite, which I’ve lovingly named “Sassafras.” I already did most of my reading via the kindle app and free ebooks borrowed from my local libraries, but with my new kindle, I upgraded to a better…
This is the final post of my five-part series on Morocco! As soon as we returned from our desert excursion and got back to Fes, we loaded up our car and continued north for another 4 hours to head to the town of Chefchaouen, known for its blue buildings. We wandered the blue alleys, collecting…
When we booked the two-day one-night excursion from Fes to the desert, I don’t think it occurred to any of us to check how far away the desert was. Turns out, it’s about 7-8 hours each way. Far. But the four of us, Godwin, Liz, Justin, and I piled in to the car, and our…
I’ve known how to knit and crochet since elementary school, and it’s often been a fun hobby to keep myself occupied in the winter. But about a year ago, I started to think it might be fun to turn this solitary activity into a club. So in February, I started it up: the Old Ladies’…
It’s a maze of a city, with narrow, meandering alleys and high walls all around. We initially thought we might just wander and explore Fes ourselves, but as soon as we arrived and saw what we were in for, we quickly changed our minds and joined the walking tour that Godwin had booked for the next…
I headed back to Cincinnati in early November when my photograph was featured in the Contemporary Arts Center downtown. I meant to blog the rest of my Cincinnati trip a few weeks ago, but it got lost in my blog drafts, so here goes! Scenes from around town in Cincinnati, Ohio: You can also check out…
We piled into the Nissan Pathfinder, six people in the seven-seater and all our luggage strapped on top, and we departed Marrakesh, which was no small feat, with Godwin pulling some very impressive maneuverability skills through the very narrow alleys of the medina. Our destination for day three was Fes, a six-hour drive, but with an afternoon…
Morocco! We were perhaps a bit ambitious with our itinerary, traveling all across the country in just one week, but then again, we couldn’t really bear parting with any of our excursions either. So we packed in as much tile, tagine, and mint tea as we could into less than seven days. Our flights were…
‘Tis the season for a nice cozy cup of tea! My friend Saira has the best tea-filled instagram @darjeelingdreams. We met up on a Friday afternoon for some tea at one of her favorite spots, Lovejoy’s. Love! Such cute mismatched tea wares. I loved Saira’s hazelnut tea, and my mango was great too. The perfect…
