Pizza is Addicting – We Knew That!

It’s no secret that pizza is hands-down my all time favorite food…mainly because I’ll tell anyone that listens 🙂 Interestingly, pizza was recently ranked as the food most associated with indicators of addiction, according to a recent study. Read more about what makes pizza so universally craved. As if we don’t already know!

Next-Level Street Art

Some people believe graffiti art is vandalism and others think it adds to a city’s character. While it’s still illegal in most places to create graffiti without a property owner’s permission, these 15 cities display vibrant street art scenes that act as open-air exhibitions.

18 Wines for Christmas 2018

Selecting the right wine to pair with your perfect Christmas day is an important part of the holiday experience. There are 18 master sommelier-recommended selections on this list, whether you’re having a festive fete or a low-key celebration with the family. I am sharing this list specifically because I agreed with most all the recommendations on it! There are some great wines on here.

The Northern Lights From Your Own Island

You can rent an entire Norwegian island for private, entirely unadulterated views of the Northern Lights. The island is called Fordypningsrommet (no that isn’t a typo), and it’s off the coast of Norway. There are no cars, and no shops — only nine chic, minimal, well-designed modern homes. I see friends, a glass of wine, and the best lights show on earth!

Winter Wonderland Retreats

We just planned a little retreat to the mountains in January, so I have cozy, romantic winter wonderland retreats on the mind. See nine destinations that will delight this time of year including Finland, Switzerland, Canada, and New York…and a few surprises!

Best Wine Spots in Charlotte

A list of Charlotte’s local wine bars by the Charlotte Five – I connected with a lot of favorites on this list so I thought I’d share it! My top three wine haunts in Charlotte are Corkbuzz, Foxcroft Wine Co., and Bonterra. Locals, check them out if you haven’t!

Appetizers That Can Feed a Crowd

This is for anyone needing a quick recipe hit before the holidays. I thought so many of these looked great including the Sweet and Salty Feta Cubes, Roasted Olives With Lemon, Garlic and Herbs, Romaine Salad With Lemon-Pecorino Vinaigrette, 20 minute Cauliflower Soup, and Wild Mushroom Toasts! Who’s cooking?!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing rest of your weekend! This will be my last Sunday Seven of the year, as I take the last couple of weeks off to travel for the holidays — however I have a couple more posts coming at you this week before I go!
