Let’s cut to the chase. The best way to experience Charleston is to eat your way through the city. Throw caution (and your diet) to the wind, roll up your sleeves, and dive in. At least that’s what I did, and I have zero regrets. You’ll walk through some of the most gorgeous neighborhoods in … Continue reading
As we left Savannah, I realized how happy I was that I treated myself to a spring break this year. Not intentionally, though. I didn’t even realize I was on spring break until the trip had already started. We spent time in both Savannah and Charleston a couple of weeks ago and the only regret I have … Continue reading
Initially, I wanted my visit to Savannah to count as my new thing for the month. It’s a city I’ve never visited but had always been curious about and it was more exciting than some of my other ideas. However, my travel buddy claimed that type of a post would be a “cop out.” Charming, isn’t … Continue reading
It all started with a number of noise complaints and one “that’s-it-I’m-so-over-this” call to the police…. Typically, this isn’t how most “love stories” begin, and this one certainly isn’t worthy of a book or a Nicholas Sparks adaptation, but it’s how mine started and it makes me smile. I’ve referenced my boyfriend (seriously, still hate … Continue reading
2016 marks the seventh year of HauteThought’s existence. That’s right, I’ve been blabbing in my own corner of the Internet for seven whole years. That number took me by surprise. I feel like I’m still getting my feet wet, slowly trying to figure out topics and points of focus, yet this blog has been around for … Continue reading
It’s a tragedy. Losing not one, but multiple friends in one fell swoop. You catch up with them weekly and know their innermost secrets. You’ve been introduced to their family and have seen them at their worst. At times, you can even predict what they’ll say next, especially if the friendship has lasted for years. … Continue reading
I can’t say when specifically, but at some point your mom becomes less of a rule shouting militant and more of a friend, a confidant, someone you genuinely want to spend time with. My mom still fulfills the role of a stereotypical mother figure, what with all the nagging and orders and “why don’t yous….” … Continue reading
Some people have FOMO about a big night out on the town. I suffer from FOMO when it comes to the Oscar Best Picture nominees. Each year, I do my best to try and see all of the contenders for the coveted Best Picture. I realize the thought of seeing a movie doesn’t sound that … Continue reading
Yes, you read that right. I decided to try the healing powers of a Himalayan salt cave as my “new thing” for February. A few months ago, my mom and I saw a Groupon offer for this and were intrigued. The Himalayan Salt Cave at Timeless Spa and Salt Cave boasted therapeutic benefits for sinuses, … Continue reading
Given that February is the month of looooove, I felt inclined to do a post about it. I’m not going to rattle off why I love the people I love, nor am I going to give you a list of the perfect gift items. I think love is deeper than that. Instead, I looked to people … Continue reading
