Happy midsummer Friday! We're right in the thick of the summer, which means summer blockbuster movies are now coming out. One of the bigger ones this season, Oppenheimer, happens to have a cocktail tie in! Although by tie in I mean there are a couple scenes with Robert Oppenheimer drinking

Hello once again, and happy Friday! Don't you hate it when vacation seems to fly by all too fast? That was me last week in St. Martin. It was my second time to the island, and it definitely won't be the last. We stayed on the French side (the island is

It's here! It's finally here! The unofficial start of Summer! Despite my love of hockey, I'm much more of a summer and beach person than cold winter sports. So, I'm definitely ready for the warmer weather and the longer days for sure. To celebrate, I'm trying a classic cocktail: The
