VINEYARDS

VREDE EN LUST ESTATE Our Editor spends a leisurely day at the vineyards in South Africa and enjoys not only the wine selection but the breathtaking views. The weather in May is just perfect as you can sit outside and enjoy the full estate. No one rushes you and when you are with a group of your closest friends you just laugh and laugh. The wine helps!

VINEYARDS

This unexpected vineyard lies in Thailand. Monsoon Valley is located in Hua Hin Hills. Heading to the vineyard is a nice out of the ordinary sightseeing venture. The vineyards produce: Shiraz, Colombardi, Chenin Blanc, and Dornfelder.

Be sure to check out the Harvest Festival in March 1 through 17, 2018.

RED MAPLE VINEYARDS Sipping a glass of wine in this rustic setting is just so enchanting. Many weddings are often shot here but if you just need that weekend break, we recommend heading to this locale in Hudson Valley, NY.

I AM MORE SCARSDALE We love this gem of store from our home town, Scarsdale, NY. We often buy our clothes in these local boutiques as supposed to major department stores. .

GRAND FATHER HOMES We absolutely just fell in love with @grandfather_homes . The brains behind this North Carolina custom builder home design company is Matt Ewers. His homes feature traditional like home yet with all the modern bells and whistles you can want.

Three Ways to Invest

1. DIY Style? Pick an online trading platform.

For the person who likes to take matters in their own hands, you may want to consider Charles Schwab online or Acorns. Open an E-Trade account or invest your left over change for them to invest in high yield stocks for you.

2. Open an IRA When you open an IRA you have options of where to invest your money and how much you can earn over 1, 5 or 10 years. Roth IRA is money you already paid taxes on. Maximum investment is $5,500 per year into the Roth IRA. Traditional IRA is pre-tax money and you defer taxes until retirement.

3. CD Set up automatic transfers from your bank account to an investment or CD account (high yielding savings account). Take a percentage of your paycheck and do it automatically so you don’t have control.

MERIDA

Top 5 Reasons to Visit Quench the butterflies in your tummy and swing under a waterfall within the Angkor.MERIDA, MX – This Yucatecan

city is one of our hidden gems to visit. As you can see Merida is a culture full of color, creativity and ease.

1. UNESCO-listed archaeological sites, nature reserves with diverse wildlife, and cenotes 2. FOODIE - Local markets, like the busy Mercado Lucas De Galvéz and Mercado Santiago, are bursting with exotic fruits and vegetables.

There’s also Mercado 60, a food hall with 18 restaurants, and the newly-opened Casa Dominga, for a more laid-back gourmet adventure.

MERIDA

3. MUSEUM and ART –A must see is the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya de Merida for interesting artifacts and information about Yucatán’s ancient history and more recent colonization into context as you explore the region.

The Museum of Anthropology and History, housed in the enchanting mansion on Paseo Montejo, showcases photography and Maya relics and do not forget the Popular Art Museum features objects and art from around Mexico including typical dress and ceramics.

4. ARCHITECTURE - The Luxury Collection introduces you to restored authentic haciendas throughout the Yucatán including Hacienda Temozon (located 45minutes outside Merida), which was once the principal sisal producer in the peninsula. Merida blooms with zocalo or plazas and beautiful cathedrals.

Cobblestone streets are narrow and safe. Take in the colors: ponks, blues, yellow and peach. 16th century mansions are preserved most built for the family of founder Francisco de Montejo. We always love the enchanting leafy Plaza Santa Lucia, a posh neighborhood where locals come to socialize and dance, and Pasejo Montejo, a wide tree-lined avenue inspired by the Champs-Élysées. We can go on!

Our Shopping List Authentiques Past & Present

Shop where the film and theater prop stylists shop.

This store stocks glass, barware, lamps, and vintage postcards and other items.
