This week we found ourselves at the Sugar Bowl once again to chat with newly local cook and entrepreneur Elizabeth Màrcano-Kennedy. Little did we know we were about to meet such a fascinating woman.

Love isn’t about grand gestures and expensive things. Love is doing the dishes without being asked, shoveling the drive way, and somehow making tedious every day tasks fun because you are in it together.

Summer may be nearing its end, but the hot sunny days aren't over yet. There is still plenty of time for that last-minute getaway before Gaylord goes into deep freeze.

Over the years Yoga has become a go-to work out with a cultlike following. Yoga has become synonymous with tight abs, firm butts and tight stretchy pants.
