HOTEL REVIEW: Our stop in Downers Grove, IL - Comfort Inn by Choice Hotels

Comfort Inn, 70 Gore Rd. W, Morris, IL 60450 It's the middle of January and we stopped in Morris, IL for a night as we continued to travel for our business. Although I frequent Peoria quite a bit, this was the first time that I visited this particular Choice Property. As most of you know, I am a Diamond Elite Member with Choice and stay with them at least once a week during my business travels. I really like Peoria. It's the birthplace of Richard Pryor, the largest city that sits on the beautiful Illinois River, the headquarters to Caterpillar, Inc. (and their museum) and The home of "The Spirit of Peoria" paddle wheel riverboat. My favorite place is the Riverwalk that is the location of local festivals, restaurants, shops, and museums.

HOTEL REVIEW: Our stop in Mifflinville, PA - Comfort Inn Mifflinville/Bloomsburg by Choice Hotels

Comfort Inn Mifflinville/Bloomsburg, 488 West Third Street, Mifflinville, PA 18631 This past week, I had the pleasure of staying at one of the choice properties that really lived up to the reviews online. I always check out reviews at Google, TripAdvisor, and Choice before making a selection on which properties I'll stay at while traveling for work. I left the snow filled streets of Atlanta, GA for the snow capped mountain tops of Pennesylvania and I couldn't have been more elated to walk into the warmth of the Comfort Inn Mifflinville - Bloomsbur. I was greeted by a friendly and chipper young lady at the front desk and such a beautiful and grand Christmas tree that caused me to smile with the Christmas spirit that we all share. After checking in, I headed to my room which was conveniently located right there on the first floor, near the front entrance. I am usually skeptical about rooms with this placement because there tends to be more noise but during ...

BLOGMAS Day 01 - 10 Women-Owned, Minority Small Businesses to support during the holidays!!

Happy December Corner Clique!!! I can't believe that the year is almost over!! It's like 2017 flew right by us. It's been a year full of ups and down, curves and loops, and thankfully growth and blessings!! This was my second full year in business for my newest business venture and it was a doozie. They say that it takes about 3 years to really get a brand new business off the ground, so I'm looking forward to next year being the charm and hitting m sweet spot in that venture. My other businesses are moving along well, but I must admit, I've neglected them a bit in order to give my full focus to my less established venture. But luckily, they can pretty much sustain themselves, for the time being. Speaking of business, I decided to make my first Blogmas post about some of my favorite Minority, women-owned businesses. They are listed in no particular order and all offer something very special to the world. They all have products and services that are the be...

Plant Based Eating Plan - Day 2 (11/21)

I started off my morning with my Detox Tea!! YYYYYEEEEAAAA for making it to Day 2! LOL Hey, celebrate the little victories. :-) I was a little bit more cautious this morning because yesterday, I got a slight headache between breakfast and lunch. I am trying to determine if it's the natural process of the detox (I'm on Day 3 of drinking detox tea, even though it's only Day 2 of the eating plan) or if it's the plant-based diet. It wasn't anything that inhibited me from going about my daily activities. I still went to the gym and did some work from home for my business. It was actually more annoying then anything. It wasn't painful like how headaches typically can be so we'll see how it goes today. I had some meetings this morning so I prepared my travel cup and jumped in the car to start my day.  Today was also a horrible water day. I didn't get started on my water until well into the afternoon and that is never good. Drinking your daily all...

Plant-Based Eating Plan - Day 1 (11/20)

So today, I felt pretty good and pretty optimistic. It's Day 1 so I felt prepared and ready to do this!! I woke up and had my detox tea. I used some "Sugar In The Raw" but I plan to head to the store today for some Agave. Although I've never bought any personally, I've heard such wonderful things about it. I'm looking forward to seeing what my agave choices are. After getting some work done, I decided to make me a salad for lunch. I've always been a fan of salad so I don't have any problems eating them multiple times, and for multiple meals. See the ingredient list below to check out what I put in today's salad. I hate having to use canned beans but I just don't have the time to soak my beans and such. But I did make sure to get the "no salt added" variety. I also was not too sure if I could have those olives but I tore them up anyway, LOL. What you don't see in this picture is that the rest of my family in my house decided...

Plant-Based Eating Plan - Meal Prep (11/19) - 1 Week Trial

Hey Corner Clique!! So it's mid November and while Thanksgiving and Christmas are still approaching, I have my eyes set on another upcoming holiday....... New Years Eve!! Living away from my family means that there are some years when I am unable to go home for the holidays. This usually happens especially if it's the holiday season before our big family reunions, which happen every three years. This coming summer, we will be headed to Sacramento, California for our big gathering!! I guess that brings me to my why..... I hope this doesn't sound shallow but..... I really want to wear (and look good in) a sequin dress for New Years Eve. Not just this year, but year after year, after year, after year, after year..............................Let's be real, sequin can be very unforgiving, it's just not one of those fabrics that everyone loves. But it can be so beautiful and festive during this time of year. Sequin makes me happy!! :-) Therefore, I'm going to...
