Crime and Safety in Turks and Caicos Last night before I went to bed I saw a news report stating that another American tourist had been shot in Turks and Caicos. Most of you know this is the second American that has been shot this summer in a robbery type incident. The strange thing is the last one happened in June on the same day that we left the island. This particular shooting happened the same day that my sister left the island. Anyway, that is of absolute no importance, but I still think ... Read More
Massage in Turks and Caicos
Massage in Turks and Caicos My husband and I just got back from Turks and Caicos. As normal, we did not want to leave. This trip was just as magical, wonderful, and all the great words you would use to describe something that you love. I would live there if I could move my family and friends with me. But, that is not happening, so, it looks like we will be staying in Mississippi. Oh, and while I am on that topic, I know lots of people get a little confused from time to time about where I ...

Top Luxury Hotels in Turks and Caicos
What is Luxury? This past weekend was a super lazy weekend for my husband and I. Since February, we have had pretty much zero relaxation when the weekend rolls around. I mean, when you build a house…you feel as though you literally don’t stop working for months after the house is built and maybe never. We are always on the move so we do not mind working, but a break is good every now and then. So, this weekend…as we were lying around and actually getting to be lazy for a ... Read More
Men’s Swimwear 2017
Men’s Swim Shorts A couple of weeks ago I did a blog post on my favorite swimsuits for 2017 for women. So, I thought this week I would do a post on my favorite men’s swim shorts for 2017. Like I mentioned in my post for women’s swimwear, it is a little early. I am sure there are going to be lots more cool swimsuits coming out for men and women, but these are some of my favorites thus far. Swim Trunks I feel like in the past my husband pretty much sticks to the traditional “swim trunk” vs the ... Read More
#2 Best Beach in the World
Grace Bay I am obsessed with Turks and Caicos and specifically Grace Bay Beach. I’m guessing that is not a secret since I started a blog centered around this magical place. I mean, the beaches of Grace Bay are like those pictures you see on the internet and you think..that is soo photoshopped. Water does not look like that unless you are in like Bora Bora or something. Believe me; I had those same doubts when we booked our first trip to Turks and Caicos. My husband and I have always ... Read More
Turks and Caicos on a Budget
Planning a Trip to Turks and Caicos Planning a trip to Turks and Caicos can start out a little scary. Some people start looking at prices and rooms and automatically think “we cannot afford to go there.” I get that response a lot actually. My answer – you must know where to look. Not all hotels are crazy expensive in Grace Bay. Going to Turks and Caicos on a budget is completely possible. Now starts the time when many people start planning their summer vacations – me included. When we are ... Read More
Opus in Turks and Caicos
Dinner at Opus Wine Bar Grill Our first time to have dinner at Opus in Turks and Caicos was this year in May. Each time we are on the island Opus has been on our list. But, somehow, it always fell through the cracks. We often left the island wishing we had eaten there. If I am being honest, this past year, after starting a blog, we decided we must make it our priority to visit as many places as possible each time we visit. After all, we want to be able to give our readers our honest opinions ... Read More
Tiki Hut Island Eatery
Tiki Hut Tiki Hut Island Eatery is one of those restaurants we have seen in magazines but just never tried. My husband and I often get stuck on the same places to eat instead of venturing out. We have gotten better I must say. We have tried to make it a rule to try at least one new place each time. I know the island is small and there are only so many places to eat. But, we do not eat out every single meal so it gets hard to fit things in. We finally added Tiki Hut to our must visit list ... Read More
The Joy of Building a House – Part 6
My Southern Dream Home I know I have talked about house stuff a lot lately. Building my southern dream home has turned out to be lots of fun but oh so stressful. I mean house stuff is all that seems to be in my world right now. I cannot even begin to explain how stressful the past two weeks have been. Each time we talk to our contractors it turns into 21 questions. 21 questions meaning they need to know answers like now. When you are building a house, you need to drop everything else because ...

Dinner at Bay Bistro
Dining in Turks and Caicos The dining in Turks and Caicos is always great. Dinner at Bay Bistro is no exception. My husband and I have traveled to many Caribbean islands and Providenciales has the best food options – hands down. There have been times when we could not wait to get back to the states because we were so hungry. Leaving Provo is the total opposite. We always dread leaving and miss the food when we are not there. We often come up with our own versions of the food we eat on the ... Read More
