Happy weekend, friends! Hope you enjoy this Sunday scroll in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel.


Painting Refreshes the Royal Soul
Admittedly, I did not know that Prince Charles was a watercolorist! There is a new London show of the largest exhibition of his watercolors to date – 79 of the prince’s landscape paintings. I really liked these – they have a great dreamy quality to them.


A Dreamy Compound in Marfa
This gorgeous refuge is eight structures, set around a courtyard, connected by a covered porch above and breezeways below. Every single window is placed for unobstructed views of the surrounding desert and nearby mountain ranges. The simplicity is stunning!


What the Wine Industry Predicts for 2022
Reduced packaging weight, premium price points, the continuation of canned wine, and the reign of sustainability lead in the industry predictions for 2022. Get on trend!


Christian Siriano’s Modernist Refuge
Christian and his partner crafted this serene, modernist home in a coastal enclave not far from New York City. These pool views are just perfection!


Still in Search for a Hangover Cure
A recent review scrutinized 21 supposed treatments for hangovers. Spoiler alert – there is still not any really convincing hangover cure evidence. Sorry, folks!


Hacks for Your New Year’s Cleaning Resolutions
A roundup of the best cleaning hacks may come in handy if you’re like me and have been on a cleaning and purging run!. Ever needed to remove heat stains or clean your washing machine filter? Work smart with this list.


The Luxury Hotel Pop-Up Concept
Opening soon in New York, Moliving is a nomadic hotel that builds and delivers modular, prefab units that surprisingly, have many luxury touches. The pods minimally disrupt the environment as they can be easily relocated. This flexibility is key – for example, as demand slows in a summer spot like the Hamptons, the pods can be moved to winter vacation destinations in Florida. More locations coming soon!
Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing rest of the weekend!

Yikes! I have totally used rubbing alcohol on my iPhone and my computer! Glad I read that article on cleaning.
