5 Coffee Shops to Try in Florence

-
  1. Caffè Gilli- this was close to my apartment and I actually bought a friends birthday sweets from their dessert/ candy counter
  2. Caffè Gucci- their sugars are in the shape of the Gucci symbol
  3. La Posta- for the traveler, this is perfect as it is decorated with postage lingo and stamps
  4. Coronas Cafè- it's not very common to see locals get a sweet and savory treat with their coffee, but this is my exception- get whatever you want- it's delicious!
  5. Bar Condotta- if your looking for something tucked away a little from Piazza Della Signoria give it a shot

Top 10 Things To Do in Florence

If you are anything like the travel-crazed person I am then you probably try to cram as many attractions in a day or short trip as you possibly can. Honestly, if you're traveling for less than a week and then heading back to your J.O.B. and home that might be the way to do it. For me, though, I prefer to spend time doing a wide variety of things while in a new place. I like to be like a local. I like to be like a tourist. I like to eat. A lot. I like to relax. I like to rush around. So, when I spent four weeks in Florence, Italy, I was able to do a little of all the things I like. That is good news for you because it means I have a pretty thorough idea of the top places to go, things to see, etc. Here they are: 1. Duomo This is top on my list because it is truly breathtaking. Whether you like art, history, views of the city, or cathedrals/basilicas/churches you can find it all right here, at the Duomo. Duomo is Italian for Dome and is a huge part of Cattedrale Santa Maria del

Why do our Favorite Clothes go Unworn?

Ladies, this past weekend I found a gem in the back of my closet. I've had it for a couple years now and I think I've only worn it once. Annnnnd here it is: This is a model. Not me or my picture. Cute, right? Well it is I SWEAR.. this picture just doesn't do it justice. Maybe that's why even though I moved to a different state (where it is much warmer and my closet is much bigger) I haven't worn it in years. I don't even know what made me try it on. It fit too tightly the last time I wore it and nothing special happened that day so I suppose I don't associate the dress with being that great. Oh, but it is. Please don't mind my princess act.. my hair is just so long and the wind here in Oklahoma City is NO JOKE.  So back to why our favorite clothes go unworn; we just don't give our clothes enough credit. Simply put, our bodies and style are constantly changing. Pull out those shirts that just didn't fit right a

Spring Showers bring Great Flowers

Many people who know me know that my favorite season is Autumn. Today, I questioned whether it may be Spring. The flowers and plants I want to decorate our outdoor space seemed to bring a special kind of life to the day. Some plants still weathered the terrible wind storms and colder temperatures that just recently passed, but like every Spring I realized just how happy the blooming and brighter colors made everyone around me. Here's a picture of some of my favorite, inexpensive, and brightening plants. I'm a sucker for anything pretty or that has potential to be- I can admit that.
