Never Been to Nashville

Ever been to Nashville? Me neither. But I can be there in seven hours by car, so it’s high time I make the trip. And I’ve found the place I’m going to stay:  Hotel Preston. 

The sleek boutique hotel furniture, the beds dressed in high thread count fabrics you want to dive into, and a sense of humor: at check-in, you can request a lava lamp, pet fish, or rubber duckie for your room.

Nashville is sure to stir you creative energies; when you get back to your room you may want to pull out your guitar and write a song, pick up a pen and notebook and write a story or draw a scene. With 24-hour room service, you never have to leave the room.

Stay tuned for the post Hotel Preston visit blog post… Nashville, here I come!

These green-friendly totes from GreenEnvyShop.com follow the rules of nature and ethics. They are organic, naturally dyed and tanned, and made in New York City under the guidelines of ethical labor practices. Makes you feel good about the purchase.

 

Now for the fun part. Say you’re out in a park having a nice picnic. You packed juicy oranges, a bottle of cabernet, assorted finger sandwiches and dark chocolate truffles (yes, it’s a date). Now, you pull out your iPod to set the mood with some nice smooth R&B but — it’s not charged!!! Don’t panic. Just slip it into the solar panel for you new tote and charge away. Slip in your cell phone too, so you can take pictures of this memorable event – you know it will be. And, Mother Nature will be proud, so she’ll hold off the rain until you’ve folded up the blanket and walked off into the sunset.
