THIRTEEN

When I began blogging thirteen years ago social media was barely a “thing”. AI hadn’t been incorporated into our daily lives and was usually seen in Sci-Fi movies on Saturday night.  As I learned to navigate the dynamics of social networking and blogging, I felt an increasing pressure to share more of my personal life. My goal is to inspire good taste and beauty regardless of the critical issues around us.

Stylish Heath is my creative outlet a way of sharing tidbits such as; seeking out the latest hotspots in the metropolitan area of DC, traveling the world to just learn, baking delicious treats, or growing gorgeous flowers in the garden.

Most of my life and time are tied up in being creative, it’s truly the best thing being able to justify testing a chocolate chip cookie recipe on a weekday or trying a floral arrangement in some part of the house to elevate the tone of a room.

Here are a few stylish favorites over the past year from Heath!!!

Upon arriving in London’s Heathrow last January we checked into our hotel, unpacked then and headed to the Kensington for “Afternoon Tea”. Truly a civilized way to relax after the transatlantic flight.

The National Gallery of Art-London had Van Gogh on exhibit until the 20th of January, and I found zooming in on the works of art more aesthetically pleasing. It allowed me to see the texture and colors of each work.

Lunch with the girls at Peter Chang’s in Herndon, Virginia. I can eat Chinese food any time someone mentions a restaurant..

There will always be Paris……..

End of summer was spent in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico…… enjoying food and drink!!!

Thank you for sharing in 13 wondrous years!!

Relaxing by the Sea

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

Time is a priceless commodity I rarely, if ever invest in for myself.  My weekdays are over-packed with responsibilities and dates with friends; while weekends are just as inundated with errands like gardening, housework, menu planning and recipe testing.

Walking this morning I wondered how it would feel if I cleared my schedule of all responsibilities, even enjoyable ones like meeting up with friends. I began to wonder what I’d do if I had a day or two that was truly free to do the things I love.

As, I sauntered through my nationhood my mind wandered, while dreaming of white sandy beaches on an exclusive island that had a hotel-spa or thalassotherapy centre that uses seawater for therapeutic and wellness purposes. I wouldn’t have to leave the facility for any reason. Meals included in the package would be prepared by professional chefs, and sipping sparkling water with lemon or mezcal would be refreshingly inviting before a nap by the sea.

Dream stylishly,
Kathleem
