A cup of Assam Tea

Tucked away on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico , Tulum is a piece of a dream. If you are a spiritual yogi, honeymooner, history buff, or art aficionado, Tulum will serve you the best of all possible ways. Be it a private resort with pristine beaches, architectural wonders, and street art to culinary delight, you have been covered by Mexico's hottest boho-chic town, Tulum.  This boho-chic Mexican city, Tulum, was once a sleepy town, but with the influx of social media influencers, entrepreneurs, and investors, now Tulum is  Mexico's  hottest destination.   Food  is prepared to perfection, the music flows to the most fantastic DJ's tune, and boutiques are full of kind finds, sparkling white sand, beautiful blue water, and cascading jungles adorning this beautiful land.  Here are my top picks:  Tulum Ruins: A few miles from Tulum town, tucked away in natural beauty, this site is different in that the ruins are situated on a cliff overloo...

Are you one of those super-productive people the second that spring hits? It’s as if the minute you hear the birds singing and feel the days getting warmer, you immediately create your to-do list for spring. Declutter, deep clean, wash the curtains, and more. Trust me - I know so many of these people and I’m one of them! However, this spring, so many of us are in the middle of a huge transition: moving! Seriously - I’ve never seen so many people moving at one time. For those of you who are moving, instead of tackling your spring cleaning checklist, you are packing up boxes and signing copious amounts of paperwork for our loan and house contract, right?! Well, the transition will be so worth it when you get into your new home…and the process of making a house a home is one of my ultimate favorite things to do! If you are not sure where to start, here are my favorite steps to follow: Deep clean before moving in and open up your windows The first thing you will want to do when making a ho...

With 20 20-dollar entrance fee per adult, Naumkeag in Berkshire is the former country estate of affluent New York City lawyers Joseph Hodges Choate and Caroline Dutcher Sterling Choate. Entering itself gives the whole property an opulent vibe amidst greenery and rolling heels. Even though we visited a bit past the peak of tulip and daffodil season, nothing took away this property's beauty and serenity. With a beautiful garden, tastefully done landscaping, sculpture, and bubbles with a fountain, one-of-a-kind feature of the garden. If you visit the garden, you should not miss the opportunity to see the house, which includes a beautiful lap of the luxurious interior, overlooking the lush green mountain view, high windows, a great bookshelf, and many more. Taking you through my photos. Just 3 miles from Naumkeag, we visited High Lawn Farm and had delicious ice cream. My 9-year-old was elated to see cows on the farm, and we loved how wildflowers carpeted this place. The farm also has a...

It's a wonderful feeling to see how the weather is warming up in New England and how blooming flowers are warming up my heart. Last weekend, we visited a laurel daffodil farm. About 30 minutes from the capital of Hartford, CT, tucked in the winding roads and greenery.  Lying in Litchfield County  Laurel Ridge, daffodils  are genuinely brimming with beauty. Thousands of yellow and white blooms with the beautiful pond in the middle perk the season with beauty, and visiting people find its tranquility and serenity. Absolutely free entry, and you can park on the street. Not just adults but kids will enjoy it as well. The only thing is to wear comfortable shoes to walk in this cascading valley. Here, I am sharing some pics of my recent visit. I wish all the wonderful mothers a happy Mother's Day with the beauty of Daffodils.
