I will be the first to admit that my coffee habit may be a little over-the-top. Lately, I find myself spending way too much money on stocking coffee pods for making at home and work. While each individual pod seems inexpensive, they add up quickly, especially if you drink as much coffee as I do! […]
Summer is the best time to host a garden party. It is the time of the year when family and friends get together to enjoy the lovely outdoors, to build new memories, to share laughter and to rekindle relationships or friendships.

The beauty of the sea has always managed to capture people’s imagination, as it has been symbolized with life, hope and mystery. It is the one thing in nature that truly evokes emotions in all of mankind. For most of us, it creates […]
