Warm Interior of MiniLuxe on Newbury Street
After eight days of marathon quality walks around London, my feet needed a little love. Specifically, a nice, pampering pedicure ending with some fantastic new polish on my tootsies. Enter, MiniLuxe on Newbury Street and their Sugar Kiss Lalicious Pedicure.
I'm thankful for many long runs and walks along the Charles River in Boston
Happy Thanksgiving! It’s the time of year when we all pause and reflect on what we’re thankful for in life. How often do we stop and think about the many things that make Boston so wonderful? Following last year’s successful blog entry on what Bostonians are thankful for about Boston, I couldn’t resist asking friends and @savvybostonian Twitter followers to participate again this year.

Though we’ve never met, I’m smitten with the folks on the visual merchandising/store interior team at Anthropologie. I’m amazed at how they cleverly and artistically work to create a unique experience for every customer who steps foot into their stores. Part DIY fantasy, part global bazaar, every store is different and spectacular in its own way.
A great example of this is Anthropologie’s Living Wall inside the Regent Street store in London. Discovered during my recent trip to London, the store has a vast, three story, 200 sq. meter wall that’s filled with living plants. Lush and green, the Living Wall is aligned with the store’s staircase, allowing guests like yours truly to admire new plants on each level. In addition to being beautiful, I was also impressed to learn that the wall is sustainable and is irrigated by rain water collected from the roof.

One of the things I don’t write about enough on this blog is my love for all things social media. Interestingly enough, it was starting my blog back in 2006 that helped pique my interest in social media. Fast forward to the present and I now wear many hats under the communications spectrum, corporate/consumer PR professional, social media manager, community manager, content manager and blogger.
In addition to speaking at conferences throughout the year, I also get the opportunity to share my opinions on a variety of social media topics. So, when my friend Baochi Nguyen, who does an amazing job leading social strategy and community management for Boingo Wireless, asked for my definition of the passion you need to have as a community manager for the Social Axcess blog, I jumped at the chance.
Whether you’re a PR or social media professional, or a consumer that’s engaged with a company on a social media site, I think you’ll appreciate Baochi’s blog entry. Oh, and let me know if you agree with my feedback, I’m lucky number seven!

Every time I truly need a break, I escape to London. Friends may tease, or tell me to travel somewhere else, but I never seem to tire of London. From strolling through beautiful parks, cafes, markets, museums, and more, here are a few highlights from my recent trip to London….
