My latest Sunday Seven — a bi-weekly roundup in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel. Today we’re decoding wine buzzwords, exploring feel-good foods, and learning why time flies faster as we get older.
Why Time Flies Faster
I’ve literally always wondered why time seems to go faster as we get older! This link explains that as we age, time seems to accelerate due to how our brains process the experiences around us, leading to a feeling of increasing rapidity.
Feel-Good Foods
“Dopamine foods” are foods that can help boost the production of feel-good neurotransmitters in the brain, potentially improving mental health and well-being. While food alone isn’t the key to happiness, it’s good to know it can help!
2025’s 5-Star Hotel Openings
The most anticipated five-star hotel openings of 2025, showcasing luxury accommodations in Paris, Tokyo, the Maldives and more. These promise exceptional amenities, world-class dining, and unique experiences tailored for travelers.
Luxury Takes to the Slopes
Aman New York’s new “Adventures on the Slopes” package offers guests a crazy-exclusive ski experience. Seamless private flights, lunch at Cin Cin!, sweeping views of the Catskills and an Aman New York butler. This is alpine adventure at its best!
Decoding Wine Buzzwords
“Natural,” “low-sulfur,” “terroir-driven,” and “sustainable.” All about how helpful or hurtful wine buzzwords can be and how break down the meanings behind some of the industry’s most used (or overused) phrases.
Vinaigrette Made Simple
A quick two-minute tip to enhance salad prep by using a squeeze bottle for homemade vinaigrette. By marking the bottle to indicate the ideal oil and vinegar levels, you can easily mix and store your dressing. Gotta love efficiency!
Group Trips, Simplified
The new Apple Invites aims to simplify group trip planning. It allows users to add an itinerary, sync with other apps like Weather and Calendar, and collab on shared playlists and photo albums. You all know I love a group girls’ trip, so I’ll be trying this!
Hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing rest of your weekend!
