What’s everyone up to this week? Have you clocked the Oscar Nominations yet? I always set out to watch as many of the films as I can before the awards show…but I’m not always that successful. Wouldn’t it be fun to start an Oscar Noms club where you meet up with a group of friends to watch and discuss (a la book club style)? Hmmm…the wheels are turning! Hope you have a great rest of your week, and here are some links to read and watch…

Hello again! It seems folks all over the country have been experiencing a cold snap these last few days so I hope you’re managing to stay warm and toasty. The lows in Miami were in the 50’s and it was amusing to watch the locals break out their parkas and beanies. That’s practically an arctic blast down here! In other news, Chet and I are headed to St. Pete tomorrow. I’m super stoked to see my sister, play a little shuffleboard, and enjoy the gulf-side of the state for a few days. Have you ever been to St. Petersburg, FL? Any recommendations? I’ll post what we’re up to over on my Instagram. Hope you have a great rest of your week, and here are a few links for you to peruse…

Do you own a bike?

Do you own a bike? While I currently don’t have a bicycle of my own, I must say, this one certainly caught my eye.

“Comfort and refinement are a rare combination in cycling, but the Civia Loring is the perfect fusion of both. With an upright riding position and a bamboo-accented front rack, it’s a stylish, eco-friendly way to bring home dinner from the farmer’s market.”

I can’t say I’m brave enough to attempt biking through Miami traffic. But, according to some wanderlust-fueled googling, there are some really beautiful spots to bike in Homestead (this trail through the Everglades promises you’ll spot some alligators) and down in The Keys. What would you pack up front in the bamboo rack for such an adventure?

Do you have a dream bike you’ve been lusting after? Leave a link below. I wanna see!
