Ageless Remedies MedSpa

Ageless Remedies MedSpa

 
I didn’t know anything about MedSpas until I visited Ageless Remedies. MedSpas are a little different from traditional spas because they usually have doctors who can prescribe medication. MedSpas have  prescription-grade products available to sell to clients.
Ageless Remedies, founded in 1999, is a MedSpas that offers skin treatments like microdermabraision, Botox and injectables which used to only be available in a doctor’s office. There are 15 Ageless Remedies locations in the U.S. I visited the Alpharetta location.
Some MedSpas have more of clinical feel, but Ageless Remedies, with soft, soothing music piping in the treatment rooms and the comfortable blankets on …read more

Medieval Times

Medieval Times

Watch an 11th century-style tournament, complete with jousting at Medieval Times, a dinner and entertainment attraction in Lawrenceville, which is just outside of Atlanta. The four-course dinner features entertainment including, hand-to-hand combat, sword-fighting and horsemanship. For romantics like me, there’s also a bit of chivalry and romance.
So what are you eating while all of that fighting, jousting and romance is in progress? The banquet includes mashed potatoes, spare ribs, roasted chicken, tomato bisque soup, garlic bread, drinks, and pastry.
Yes. A vegetarian meal is available. All of you vegetarians out there will have a stuffed mushroom (stuffed with whole grain …read more

Bike Show in Marietta

Bike Show in Marietta

While driving along Cobb Parkway in Marietta, I happened along a bike show. Well, first I saw the bikers on the road, which isn’t out of the ordinary, especially when the weather is nice. Then I saw the bike show on the side of the road. Bikers are pretty common in metro Atlanta. There are many different cliques. I remember in one season of Bad Girls, a VH1 show, there was a girl biker who was from Atlanta. Here’s what I saw at the bike show. Which bikes do you think are hot?  Hey, can anyone remember the name of …read more

Hot dogs at the Varsity

Hot dogs at the Varsity

T is for tasty hot dogs! Eating hot dogs at the Varsity should be a mandatory experience, if you like hot dogs, that is. The Varsity is both a tourist attraction and a tradition in Atlanta. The hot dogs are said to be the best in the city. Yes. They are good, and addictive, so be careful. I think, however, that the car hops and servers make the Varsity what it is.
“What’d have? What’d you have,” they shout. “Everybody please step down so that we can get you out of here.”
They are funny, gritty, and no nonsense. It’s sort …read more

The Cranky Princess

The Cranky Princess

One of my favorite stores in Stone Mountain, Georgia which is located in metro  Atlanta, is the Cranky Princess. This boutique, located in a wood-frame home has items that will lighten up even the crankiest mood. Candles, bath and body supplies, home decor items, jewelry, stationary, and tea party items are stocked in this quaint, comfortable store, located on Main Street.
This is a store that makes you want to relax and browse. Cute little mugs with sayings like “stress is normal,” will make you smile to yourself. You are sure to find something that reflects your mood, even if it’s …read more

The Westin Peachtree Hotel

The Westin Peachtree Hotel

The Westin Peachtree Hotel at 210 Peachtree Street  is one of Atlanta’s most popular hotels, due to its revolving rooftop restaurant called the SunDial restaurant. Located on the top of the hotel,  the SunDial restaurant actually spins (very slowly) so you get brilliant views of the city below. The restaurant is suitable for both fine dining and casual dining.
This 73-story Westin Peachtree hotel has floor to glass windows in all rooms. The rooms also have the famous Heavenly Beds, which is made up of down blankets, goose down pillows, a boudoir pillow, and a pillow-top mattress for extra comfort. Suites …read more

The Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta

The Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta

This is actually a preview to a review that I will write on the Memorial Day holiday. This holiday I plan to spend time relaxing and maybe doing my doggy paddle thing in the pool at the Four Seasons. Apparently, the Four Seasons has a saline pool, which is probably healthier than the chlorine pools that we are used to. I plan to give the pool a try and maybe have a little food poolside, so I’ll be sure to tell you about my experience and if the saline pool is worth the visit.
The Four Seasons is a luxury …read more

Acworth Beach

Acworth Beach

Acworth Beach, north of Atlanta off of I-75 is a popular beach for the holidays. If the weather holds up, I’m sure that there will be plenty of families out at the beach.

I’m not sure if the fishing will be very good off of the dock at Lake Acworth
 

After the beach, it’s good to do a little shopping in this quaint town.

The Shakespeare Tavern

The Shakespeare Tavern

Watch a Shakespeare inspired play and have dinner at the Shakespeare Tavern, a quaint playhouse on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. The Shakespeare Tavern is the perfect place to go if you enjoy plays, love Shakespeare, and want to do something a little different. I like the fact that you can eat as the play is performed. Just make sure that you get to the Shakespeare Tavern early (far before the play starts) so that you can be seated and order your meal. The menu is available an hour and 15 minutes before the performance, but food services ends five minutes …read more
