Elegant Cuizines is a completely dairy-free restaurant that also caters to the vegan and gluten free communities. Chef Headen’s recipes are vegetable heavy and soy, salt, and sugar free. If you’re thinking no to all of that, rethink your presumptions. Immediately. This collection of dishes will outmatch some of your most coveted favorites from any other restaurant and, on top of that, will be infinitely healthier for you.

California is just golden for experiencing the best of what nature has to offer. I was absolutely smitten by the stunning landscapes in this coastal paradise, and I would easily recommend it for outdoor lovers who can appreciate any opportunity to see God’s artistic hand at work.

I wanted to step into thirty pushing the limits of courage and what better way to do that than to cross off a bucket list item with a thrilling skydiving adventure.

As I free fell through the sky for 45-55 seconds, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of liberation wash over me. The rush of adrenaline, the moment you leap, the wind in your face—it's an experience unlike any other.

Lula Cafe is a 2024 James Beard Award Nominee for outstanding hospitality and 2020 Michelin Bib Gourmand winner, given to restaurants with best value for money. Having now been, I can attest to both and have been super excited to write this review.

Let’s be very clear. I’ve not tried very many soul food restaurants in Chicago, but I don’t imagine the others being better than Soulé. Chat with me about my experience.

The Museum of Ice Cream is a series of installations packed with treats and interactive games that can make you forget you’re an adult with actual responsibilities. It’s a fun opportunity for photos and the perfect opportunity for play time. Does it get any better than this?

On a trip to Dallas and Denton, you might find yourself wowed at amazing sportsmanship showcased at the Cowtown Coliseum Stockyards Championship Rodeo, buying beautifully crafted fine leather goods at Wilkinson’s, or grabbing a delicious pastry at Ravelin’s Bakery. Wherever you go, you will always see a friendly face.

Málà Project has the vibes of your favorite, most trusted neighborhood Chinese spot, but the feel of a spacious, new-age restaurant. At this unique dining experience, you choose any number of ingredients to personalize your dish. The málà sauce is a blend of 24 herbs and spices cooked over six hours and is the ingredient that unifies the dry pot for one of the most dynamic dishes you’ve ever had.

I heard that Sant Ambroeus had the best hot chocolate in New York City, so I had to see (or taste) for myself. Sant Ambroeus is a Milanese cafe chain known for its pasta and pastries with several locations across the city. This cozy, family-first dining experience on Madison Avenue was the perfect way to end my Christmastime trip to NYC.

The city of New York is art itself, and it’s the kind of place you go to experience art as a lover of the craft, but also the kind of place you go to repeatedly discover all you don’t know about art. I don’t think I have ever been to New York and not gone to a museum, which is a statement.

When I browse social media these days, I’m particularly proud to see Black women travel everywhere you can think of, but more importantly, liberating ourselves to experience any and everything the world has to offer. When you choose experiences, you’ll want to think about adventure, connecting with your heritage, supporting local businesses and immersing yourself in a way that’s enriching and memorable.

Joshua Tree is on the map as the perfect getaway to do just that- get away. There’s nothing but desert and hiking trails, so essentially a trendy call of the wild. It sits between the Mojave Desert and the Colorado Desert and is named for the yucca tree that, in my mind, resembles something out of a Dr. Seuss book. There are a few things to know, but most important to note is that this is a place you go to explore and commune with nature.

Joshua Tree is an interesting place that I would say is all about exploration. Most of your activities will be outdoors and more or less just things to see and take in. You won’t find very typical vacation activities here, so my suggestion is to be open minded going into the trip about what you’ll be able to do. Get into the peculiar art culture, hike a trail or two, or experience a hypnotic sound bath.

In Cartagena, I booked a street food tour because that’s where all of the food emphasis is in this city. That’s not to say there aren’t some great restaurants; it’s just that street food is where you’ll find the standout recipes that are likely passed down through families, generations and years of tradition.

For a trip to the Caribbean, Puerto Rico will be one of your most convenient options considering you don’t need a passport or proof of vaccination to enter and leave, Uber operates in the main part of the city and to and from the airport, and Old San Juan is one of the safest and most walkable places I’ve ever been.

Caye Caulker is a 5.5-mile scenic island off the coast of Belize with the friendliest people, amazing marine life, great food, and brilliant sunsets. You’ll definitely get to know people before you leave, and it’s truly a joy to do so. Life moves slower here, and that’s part of the charm. Barefoot strolls along three main streets, a tray full of jerk chicken, beans and rice—it’s so easy to feel at home.
