  • HOTEL HOTSPOT | HOTEL MONACO SALT LAKE CITY

    We’re back on the Utah stories after a brief hiatus, and there’s so much to look forward to. We’ll be leaving Salt Lake City shortly after this post and move on over to Sundance central – Park City. There we’ll finish up interviews, discuss great places to eat, shop, participate in snow sports. So pay…

  • PLACES TO SHOP : SALT LAKE CITY

    There’s a place called The Stockist in the 9th and 9th area of Salt Lake City. At first it reminded me of a boutique version of Urban Outfitters, but upon closer inspection I realized it was far from.

  • WHEN IN SALT LAKE CITY : PART I

    Salt Lake City may not be on the top of your list of places to visit, let alone Utah, but it totally should be.

We all have.” You haven’t. Fish shouldn’t leave you parched, soaking up every bit of moisture your mouth has produced, nor…

  • INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE | JIM SANTANGELO

    From summers working a hot dog stand to Beverage Director of LaSalle Trio Restaurant Group, Jim Santangelo wouldn’t be described as your stereotypical sommelier. There’s no sense of arrogance when discussing the wines, no pretentiousness when responding to the basic of basic questions, and no holier than though attitude if you prefer wine on tap.…

  • INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE | THE GLAM APP CREATOR, CARA SANTANA

    We’re sure many of you have heard of The Glam App. It’s like the Uber of of hair and makeup. Shortly after it’s launch, and a little before, many others began to pop-up but few grasped the concept and innovation like The Glam App did. It could be thanks to its CEO, Actress Cara Santana…
