This Beaches Negril review was updated on April 12, 2021. With visits to all three Beaches Resorts under our belt, it’s exciting to write about our favourite one: Beaches Negril. This is one of three (soon to be four) luxury all-inclusive family resorts owned and managed by the Sandals brand and I’m thrilled to share…
SnapShots family photos at Beaches Negril
I don’t need to go into too much detail about the free family photo shoot you’re offered at every Beaches Resort, because I wrote pretty thoroughly about our experience at SnapShots Beaches Turks & Caicos last year. But I do want to mention that I found the photos only slightly less expensive at Beaches Negril…
Jewel Runaway Bay in Jamaica
I hadn’t been to Jamaica in 12 years. We went pre-marriage. Pre-kids. And part of me wondered if I’d romanticized the place, the people, the food. I’m pleased to report that after a short stay at Jewel Runaway Bay along Jamaica’s northern coastline, everything I remembered still holds true today. Note that once you’re through…
Family ski package deals (2016-17 season)
We all know that skiing isn’t exactly the cheapest sport out there. By the time you factor in the cost of rentals or buying equipment and lift tickets, thinking about adding on a hotel stay and a budget for eating out can be downright intimidating. But here’s the good news: first, you won’t regret it….
Baby registries, gifting & the stuff new parents actually need (sponsored post)
I’ve gone through the exercise of red-lining baby registries for friends on more than one occasion. Because when you’re a parent-to-be, without the experience of having that first baby, you really don’t have a clue what you actually need. And, as it turns out, most gift-givers don’t really know what you need either. According to…
IBEROSTAR Las Letras Gran Vía (Madrid, Spain)
Before you read all about the IBEROSTAR Las Letras Gran Vía, be sure to check out my top tips for things to do in Madrid. I’m not sure there’s a bad part of town to stay in when you visit Madrid. I wandered around the city a fair bit and saw nothing but one beautiful building…

IBEROSTAR Santa Eulalia (Ibiza, Spain)
Despite living in the UK for two years, I didn’t make it into mainland Europe beyond Paris and Amsterdam. I have a long list of countries I still want to visit, but Spain and Italy have remained near the top for two decades. For me, they represent the architecture, history, culture, food and lifestyle that…
Sudio bluetooth headphones
Su-su-sudio is obviously the first thing I thought of when Sudio Sweden got in touch asking if I would review its new Bluetooth-enabled headphones called the VASA BLA. Until the packaging came, I had no idea that the name was borne out of an encounter with Phil Collins. (You’ll have to check out the website…
It’s Justice for my tween this fall
Is it weird that I didn’t think of Miss Q as a tween until Justice asked if she’d fit into its clothes? I reserved the word “tween” for 10, 11 and 12 year olds. But apparently I’m wrong. (It happens.) It had never occurred to me to even step foot into this store because I…
