How Baltimoreans are Like the French
I’ve lived a lot of places in my life—my favorite place being Paris, of course. The quality of life in Paris (the food, the wine, the shopping, the parks, the museums, the sites, the scenes, the metro… oh la la, perfection!) is second to none. I came to Baltimore half from Paris and half from South Carolina (where I… read more

Biking the N.C.R. Trail
Heading out on the N.C.R. (Northern Central Railroad ) trail for a bike ride—for a 14-plus-mile round trip ride to get organic homemade ice cream, midway—has to be one of the best things to do in Baltimore… in fact, in Maryland. I’d even go so far as to rank it as one of the seven wonders of America. The… read more

We like to think that in this case “out” means outside. So where to go in Baltimore to enjoy a good plate under the sun? These local restaurants offer an… read more

The Baltimore Coffee and Tea Company - Local Perfection
I’m big on shopping local. Supporting local. Talking about local. And having just moved to Baltimore a year ago, I’m still in the exploring stages of finding the best of local goodies. And I get the impression that no matter how long I’ve lived here, I’ll still run across new finds… even in my own neighborhood. The Baltimore Coffee… read more

Walking on Art at the Contemporary Museum’s “Ark”
Only at the Contemporary Museum would visitors be able to walk on art. At the opening of the museum’s new exhibition The Reverse Ark: In the Wake, guests strapped giant, clunky stamps to their feet to spell out a quote from Buckminster Fuller’s “Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth” on a giant canvas, which will be hung in the gallery… read more

More Tips for Beautiful Hair
I used to be a hairdresser. The reason? I had this horrendously bunchy, bumpy, curly, wavy hair and I lived in high humidity year round. While everyone else had straight, blond hair, my head of tresses stuck out like a freaking, big fat fever blister on the lips on date night. So I’ve done every trick in the book… read more

When I left my home in South Carolina, I gave away furniture that had been in my family for over 150 years, tossed anything that remotely resembled a collectible, packed everything I could in ten boxes and said, “to heck with the rest,” but the one thing I could not throw away was my… read more

Ten Unique and Fabulous Hair Tips & Tricks
I’m an ex-hairstylist and still-hair-obsessed fanatic (what else can you expect from someone who grew up in the humidity-soaked south with frizzy, frantic, curly hair?). So I’ve had a lot of experience with do-overs, over-do’s, do’s and don’t's (you should see my high school year book photo - can someone say “Sun-In”?), and, well, you name it. After so… read more
