Marietta, Where it’s Better

Marietta is considered part of the Atlanta metro area. I didn’t know that when I first considered moving to Atlanta. A friend of mine had been bragging about Atlanta for months, and I decided to move to the area too. Well, she gave […]

Beauty and Lunch in Buckhead

Nseya Salon and Spa moved last month to its new location on Piedmont in Buckhead. Today the place was was bustling with activity. Hair stylists rushed around, dressed in all black, and it appeared as though everyone was preparing for a Hotlanta weekend. It’s a good thing that the new location has a nearby parking […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

You can say it with flowers, candy, or a romantic dinner for two. There are probably about a million ways to show someone your love.  I like jazz, and would appreciate listening to some mellow jazz while enjoying a romantic candle-lit dinner. I also love horse-drawn carriages, but not in 20 degree weather! So tell […]

A Few Notable Atlanta Restaurants

For a long time Ray’s on the River  6700 Power Ferry Road was my favorite restaurant. I liked the lush views of the river and the live music (typically, a pianist). The ambiance is more memorable than the food, but I recall that the food was tasty.  The restaurant was refurbashed last year, and I […]

A Green Getaway for Romance

A stay at the Amicalola Falls State Park and Lodge is just perfect for couples who love the great outdoors. Alternatively, if you want to keep in shape, you can go hiking in the park instead of, or in addition to a gym workout. I’m terrified of heights, but even I enjoy a nice easy […]

The Hotel Indigo in Atlanta has a Valentine’s package which includes a stay at the hotel, breakfast, a bottle of Dom Perignon and, you won’t believe this, a 1.5 caret ring.  Yep. The ring is included.  The wedding is not included. The Proposal Package at the Hotel […]
