  • If you love the outdoors, Warner’s Distillery’s ‘Taste Of Nature’ Tour is a one of a kind experience

    Warner's Distillery 'Taste of Nature' Tour

    If you’re a lover of all things cocktails and countryside, put Warner’s Distillery’s Taste of Nature Tour at the top of your summer bucket list.  Warner’s Distillery is a gin distillery nestled in the Harrington countryside in Northamptonshire, about a 15-minute cab ride from Kettering Station. It’s 16 acres of verdant, botanical beauty with three gardens, vast farmland and friendly, mooing and baaing farm dwellers.  I’ve never been a gin drinker. My Mexican blood runs tequila silver, but the email for Warner’s caught my eye. This was different than the repetitive look-arounds of rooms with copper containers and spirit flights that I’d never buy. I was actually interested. I’ve never…

  • A last-minute, irresponsible, glorious trip to Bath

    I drove to Bath on a last-minute whim, and I have no regrets. After a quick, four-day trip in the U.K. with my friend Megan, it was time to go home. She was ready to leave. I was ready to never go back. But I was scheduled back at a job that grossly undervalued its employees. As time grew closer to my departure, I kept feeling that it wasn’t my time to leave yet. I landed at Heathrow less than a week ago. Why rush back home to a job that finds you replaceable anyway? “This is a rare opportunity. Nothing is tying you down yet and you have goals…
