Happy Sunday, friends! My latest bi-weekly roundup in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel.


Coolest Hotel Amenities
A look at some of the most creative and unique hotel amenities out there to take your stay to the next level. How about fresh baked pie on your pillow, an in-room cocktail-making station, or access to a fleet of bend new BMW SUVs?!


A Brave New World of Beverages
Non-alcoholic beverage sales are on the rise with a 33% increase in the last year alone! Learn more about the forward-thinking owners of the alcohol brand “No & Low,” who are taking the opportunity to release products that showcase an alcohol-free take on classic spirits.


Luxury Barge Through Champagne Country
Belmond, a brand I adore — and beloved for its luxury train travel — is preparing to step up its boat game, too. They are adding to their fleet of riverboats with the addition of Coquelicot, A Belmond Boat, Champagne, set to hit the water in May. Dying to be onboard!


Indoor-Outdoor in Santa Monica
Feast your eyes on this renovated modernist home full of sunlight, rich in natural materials, gorgeous textures, and custom sculptural works. The bar is my favorite part — just divine!


Middle Seat Lottery
The middle seat is indisputably the least desirable spot to sit on a flight. To increase middle seat sales, Virgin Australia has launched the Middle Seat Lottery, a special raffle only open to those who sit in the middle seat during a flight. Prizes include free flights, a helicopter pub crawl, and a bungee jump. Still not enough for me!


(Almost?) Soup Season
It’s still in the 70s here in Charlotte, but for anyone that’s ready for soup (still me!), here are a few recipes to warm you up.


Butter Boards Break the Internet
The internet debate over the butter board is currently raging. Some are trying to make butter boards the new charcuterie. Others are absolutely disgusted. Butter boards have infiltrated the discourse in ways no one could predict, but only time will tell where this trend goes…
Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing rest of the weekend!
