The time has come. It is one of the most happiest times of the year in Miami. From now until September 30th people have a chance to pick from an estimated 200 restaurants that are participating in Miami Spice. Prefixed lunches, dinners and even brunch are offered at flat rates ranging from $23-$39.

This culinary season affords foodies the opportunity to not only dine in coveted Miami restaurants. It also allows them to have a culinary experience where food and art collide. Canvas located in the Sagamore Hotel 1671 Collins Ave, Miami Beach will be serving up a signature experience in their four-course dinner (5-9p.m.) that brings the phrase “edible art” to life. Chef Michael Smerda’s multicultural menu tells a story of balanced boldness. Unexpectedly decadent flavors manifest in the most exciting ways on your plate. The first course was possibly one of our favorite dishes. Chef Smerda’s white balsamic ice cream was so wonderfully flavorful and made perfect sense on the plate as part of the first course, which also consisted of roasted carrots, carrot gel, sour dough soil, fennel greens, frisee salad and of course white balsamic ice cream. We literally wiped our plates clean.

 

 

Dinner guests will not only enjoy a four-course dinner for $39 they will also have the opportunity to tour the hotel’s latest art installation entitled Cuban Artists: The Prodigious Decade,  which is a curated exhibit with historic and recent artworks from the 80’s generation. The installation will remain active for both guests and locals to peruse at their leisure before September 30^th.

 

The carefully curated menu showcases four courses including vegetarian or vegan substitutes.  Here is a peek at the rest of the menu. Worthy Magazine sampled the menu with no substitutes.

Spring is upon us and nature-inspired jewelry line COUP, has the season’s must have pieces. But we can’t help but feel that the collection is very BeyHive friendly.  Celebrating nature in its rawest form, COUP takes a closer look at the relationships between humans, animals and nature.

Spa Week, the go-to spa, beauty and wellness leader, is here from October 17th-23rd. Hundreds of spa, wellness and fitness facilities nationwide are offering premium full-service treatments at a major discount of $50 each (normally $100-$500). These services provide consumers a path to optimal living and serve as a preventative and alternative health approach. Routine spa visits now will aid in preventing future diagnoses and unwanted medical procedures.
 “Taking care of your body today will slow down the aging clock of tomorrow,” Founder of Spa Week, Cheryl Reid said, “Incorporating spa and wellness practices into your daily regimen will preserve your mental and spiritual wellbeing, help maintain your youthful appearance, aid in managing your stress levels, improve your energy and enhance your life.” 
Spa Week has successfully spread this wellness message for over a decade and their biannual events enable millions to immerse themselves into a healthier lifestyle. 
This is a time to not only pamper yourself but a time to heal. We underestimate the effects of stress on the body. Spa Week makes self-care affordable and shows you that it is important to incorporate self care into your daily regimen. 
A favorite treatment is the 50 Min Sweet Cream Buttered Rum Body Bliss Back Buff and Body Massage at Eden Day Spa in Boca Raton. The Spa is even extending their $50 special one week beyond Spa Week to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to experience the amazing treatment. The products that the spa uses not only smell divine but they are also all-natural, cruelty-free, vegan, as well as paraben, sulfate and gluten-free.
You can literally feel the stress leaving your body, during the Back Buff treatment, as your spa therapist massages the sugar scrub into your skin with more attention than you ever really get to give your back. Warm towels, soothing lotions and oils work together to completely eliminate the remnants of stress that try to linger through out the body. The only choice you have left after your body massage is to take a deep breath and relax as you feel the aches of being over-worked expelled from your body. 
With so many options to pick from, we have compiled a short list of Florida spas and their approved Spa Week services. 
Keep in mind to sign up for the treatments on Spa Week to enjoy the flat rate.

It’s almost been a week since Swim Week has been over and we are still thinking about a lot of the things that we have seen. Friend to Worthy Magazine, Sinesia Karol allowed us backstage accesss, to capture the details that go into creating her signature show, to share with our readers who might have missed it. The deigner presented a complete collection that offered diversity for women of different sizes. And featured patterns and textures that were broad enough that we found it impossible to say that there wasn’t something for every woman’s preference. Sinesia Karol’s new collection does not fall short of being amazing, luxurious and most importantly exclusively unique. Watch our exclusive video made by Curtis Childs and enjoy.
