Last Sunday we biked for 13 miles from our house to Old Town Ashburn on W&OD. The weather was almost perfect. Dry, in mid 80s, head wind (as usual). We left our home in Broadlands and took Claiborne Parkway until we could hop onto W&OD. When we arrived at the junction of Old Town Ashburn, we were happy to see our old friend Mike from www.pedalshop.com. Mike used to own a bike shop next to the Carolina BBQ in Old Town Ashburn and he had to close it due to tough economic times. We had purchased our bikes from him and we were very happy with his service and maintenance of them.

Fall means students everywhere are gearing up for their return to school. Most relish the opportunity to expand their knowledge and broaden their horizons. Recently, I was presented with the opportunity to return to school for just one night. The school was Cookology, a recreational culinary school located in Dulles Town Center, and the curriculum was an evening creating a full course dinner consisting of classic American dishes. This experience made me recall many fond memories of my informal culinary training like cooking side-by-side with my mother making treasured family recipes. My somewhat semi-formal culinary training was overseen by my aunt and completed during the summer before my senior year in college. That was a long time ago in a small apartment kitchen in Cincinnati, but it truly sparked my passion for cooking and creating great dishes.

“Close your eyes,” Laura told me. “Now, imagine you’ve just got out of bed and are going jogging. What does your hair look like?” As I remembered the wild pieces I had to tame this morning, Laura asked me to look at her. Gone was the short and sassy cut she was sporting seconds ago. Standing in front of me was a longhaired woman in a baseball cap, ready for anything. “It’s all one piece,” she told me taking off the hat and the hair with it. Welcome to Laura Waites’ world. “Alternative hair offers the average woman a change without risk. She can go from black to brown to red, short to long. Whatever the weather or time constraints, I know that I’m two fluffs from being ready,” Laura explained to me, using her fingers to ruffle her alternative hair. Sure enough, it fell into place.

Misra Chiropractic Clinic and the Om Yoga Therapy Center

“We have to heal ourselves, especially as mothers, so we can then, go out and take care of each other.” There is a sign in the far corner of Julianne Misra’s yoga studio that reads, “Breathe deeply and appreciate the moment. Living in the moment could be the meaning of life.” As I breathe, I follow her soothing voice, bending and easing into poses. The combination of her technique and the pleasantly heated room drive me into such a state of relaxation. It is not until later that I realize throughout the duration of her yoga class, my mind was completely clear, and I was doing nothing other than appreciating each moment.

I’ve always wanted to go wine tasting and for my first time I decided to try Veramar Vineyard, Berryville Virginia. I looked up many vineyards and read reviews and heard many good things about Veramar Vineyard. I heard that Veramar had beautiful views and well rated wines. It is said, “like fine wine it gets better with age”. This is also the case and motto of Veramar Vineyard, in fact on their website it says “Like fine wine, we get better everyday.”
