Happy Sunday and Merry Christmas! I’m sharing this week’s picks in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel. What to eat, drink and watch on your time off — and a little inspiration to get your 2024 travel wishlist fired up.


Top Destinations for ’24
Get your wishlist fired up, Lonely Planet revealed its 50 top travel destinations for the year ahead, and it’s going to make you want to get traveling!


Renovating for 1960’s Chic
A revitalization of architectural history in one of Beverly Hills’ most sought after locations, completely and beautifully updated. Love their walk-through master suite, and the sweeping landscape views throughout!


Drink Trends that Dominated ’23
I’m sure many of us drank well this year, but how on-trend were our selections? Check this out for variations on the espresso martinis, better boxed wine and festive ice. Cheers to creativity.


All The Things to Make for Breakfast
Everything you need for holiday mornings—recipes for cinnamon rolls, breakfast casseroles, French toast, waffles, and more. The cinnamon rolls have got me.


How Christmas Came To Be
From the emergence of Christmas celebrations in German towns around 1800, to the global spread of this holiday ritual—all the details behind what is Christmas!


Everyone Is Eating Martinis
My go-to liquor drink order is a dirty martini, “extra, extra dirty,” so I was thrilled to find the Dirty Martini salad dressing by Food 52 to put in rotation. Given that it was one of their most popular reels of the year, others agree.


Time Off Watch Guide
With shopping, cooking, and gift-wrapping tiring everyone out, we are in need of recouping with TV in front of a fire! I agreed with so many of these “watch” suggestions — The Bear, Platonic, Barry, and Mission Impossible.
Merry merry to all! Wishing you the best of the holidays!
