While this isn’t necessarily “fine dining” in the traditional sense, this dining was so fine I couldn’t help but shout about this from the rooftops. I used to work in a Mexican restaurant when I was in high school, and I have always loved Mexican food in all of the shades of authenticity that exist in the United States. While American-Mexican food is a category all its own, Taquerio in Mystic, CT, is a fantastic blend of traditional and inventive, and they have lots of great gluten-free options. If you’re craving something deliciously south of the border, check out this awesome gas station-turned-Mexican restaurant!

Chuc’s Café | South Kensington
Inspired by world famous photographer Slim Aaron, and summers aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean, Chuc’s Café in Kensington is a gorgeous vignette of summer memories, adventure, and bold colors. This gorgeous café was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of London’s South Kensington District, where we stayed at the Kensington Hotel, and took us right back to our adventures in Italy, not so long ago. The blue and white color scheme, the beautiful miniature orange trees, and the freshly imported Italian ingredients were a delight we won’t soon forget.
My 9 Favorite Moon Juice Supplements & How I Use Them
I want to start off by saying this post is not sponsored, and I am not a nutritionist; I’m simply sharing my experience using somethings that have worked extremely well for me. I’ve spent thousands of dollars over my lifetime trying various brands of vitamins, nutritional supplements, and protein powders, only to find that they make my stomach hurt, they taste horrible, or they don’t have any noticeable affect one me. Of course, everyone is different, but I have been using Moon Juice products on and off for years, and over the last six months I really got consistent with it, and I have noticed a tremendous difference that has improved my mood and energy levels significantly, and it feels wrong not to share something that has positively impacted my life so drastically, with you.
