Ludlow has this great reputation for food.
As well as the annual food festival that takes place each September, the market town in Shropshire is also known for its crop of top food producers.

I’ll be honest with you – before researching my Route 66 trip properly, Greater Palm Springs was, as the saying goes, so far off my radar it wasn’t even a blip.
With so many more well-known destinations like Los Angeles and San Francisco, visitors to California definitely have a hard time picking out places to visit.

Thinking and writing about beauty at 30 is a bit terrifying. And for me, it feels quite vulnerable.
I know, you’re rolling your eyes at the histrionics. But when I paused for a moment to look at how my appearance and beauty regime has changed over the course of a decade, it was hard not to admit to myself that I’m getting old.
