I secretly have a great weakness for cocktails. And the west-coast is facilitating this love very well! Now with the holidays coming up, I wanted to make sure that I can make an impression on my guests. I was therefore super excited to go to popular Hot Stove Society (click here) last Friday, which is located in the beautiful Hotel Andra in Downtown Seattle. It is a year-round cooking...
For authentic cocktails, mouthwatering food and a great portion of romance, you should visit The Carlile Room in Seattle. As my husband and I are real foodies, we got the recommendation from several people to visit a Tom Douglas Restaurant, who is an icon in Seattle. He has 30 restaurants in total and a cooking school. As we love vibrant places with good food and a warm atmosphere, we picked this restaurant,...

After we drove all the way up on Highway One and stopped for oysters along the coast, we arrived at this amazing scenic Oceanside hotel in the afternoon. The innkeeper most kindly...

This Sunday we experienced the warmest day since we have arrived in San Francisco five months ago. We were quite surprised by this amazing sunny weather, but our friends explained that this Indian Summer is quite normal for the City at the bay. We made sure we spent the weekend outdoors, close to the pool and the outside grill to have a big bbq. I was so happy that I could...
Even though we all try to enjoy the Indian Summer as much as possible, we know that Fall is coming inevitably! Some of you might be very excited about this; others will want to extend their summer as long as possible. Like myself. And one way to do that is to travel in fall. All we have to do is plan a new vacation to the right place to catch the last rays of...
What would you do if two fabulous girls ask you to come to Las Vegas to party like there is no tomorrow? You say yes, right?! So that is what I did last weekend.

In...
