Although I think summer went by way too quickly, I am officially ready for the fall season and everything that comes with it.
I cannot wait for fall fashion — sweaters, leggings, light jackets, flannel shirts and more. There is just something so cozy about wearing an oversized sweater when the weather gets cooler. I am also on the hunt for some cute, trendy boots. I haven’t been able to wear two shoes for the longest time due to ankle surgery, so I am looking forward to completing a cute outfit with the perfect pair of shoes.

Don’t get me started on the colors! I love when the leaves begin to change to beautiful reds, oranges, yellows and more. Living in Bucks County, there are plenty of trees surrounding us. Scenic drives and walks are the best ways to catch glimpses of the fall foliage.
My birthday is in fall, and I don’t always make a big deal about it, but I might have a themed event this year. I have a couple theme ideas, but I will have to narrow it down soon.
In October I am going to a wedding at Updike Farmstead in Princeton, New Jersey; the venue looks beautiful. We are staying the night in a nearby hotel where the bride and groom are hosting an after party — I can’t wait!
Here’s hoping we actually get to experience beautiful fall weather this year.

Apr 6, 2025A World of Wellness
According to Merriam-Webster, wellness, a noun, is defined as “the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal.” As the definition states and as the travel industry knows, wellness reaches far beyond just simply being not sick; for some, the idea of wellness is an entire lifestyle. Wellness is sought daily, at home and, for many, while traveling. The meaning of the word can also shape-shift depending on the person. Maybe for you it’s morning meditation every day, while for your neighbor it’s splurging on a luxury spa day while on a beach vacation.

Apr 2, 2025Wyndham Sun Moon Lake Review
Sun Moon Lake has long been the go-to place for Taiwanese families and friend groups to escape Taipei, Kaohsiung and other bustling cities with its fresh air, thick forests, clear water, misty sunrises and alpine views. Wyndham Sun Moon Lake, opened November 2024, provides international visitors with an even greater incentive to rent a car or take high-speed rail (TaiChung HRS) to explore this “best-kept secret” area.
