Future Forward

Usually around this time of year, I’m full speed ahead on resolutions and trying to develop new, more productive habits and hobbies.

Holidaze 2020

Enjoy the spirit of the holidays with tree lightings, family activities, festive food, drink and live performances. From classic events to new traditions, Miami has many activities to make the season more memorable.

Lush Respite

Los Cabos continues its rapid evolution as the go-to destination for savvy travelers looking for the perfect mix of breathtaking nature, delectable cuisine, innovative eco-tourism and unparalleled luxury.

Artistic Eye

Limitless possibilities is more than just a slogan at FrameWorks. It’s a way of life. The company believes that the greatest things in life are the ability to create, reinvent, innovate and contribute; to stretch boundaries and make what seems impossible, possible.

Nose Knows

Dog owners who swear that their furry best friend is in tune with their emotions are right. Scientists say that this feeling of interspecies connection is real: Dogs can smell your emotional state and adopt your emotions as their own.

Ride On

Rule #1 for a successful dinner party is a seating arrangement designed to avoid clashes over political or religious views while keeping EV owners away from Monster Truck fans. But suddenly it’s OK to seat Prius owners next to Hummer drivers.

Dear Santa

Most people have holiday traditions, regardless of what holiday they are celebrating. Brickell City Centre understands that’s more important than ever this year.

Perfect Bites

Regardless of what your plans are for the holidays, Mo’s Bundt Cakes will make sure the season is all about the bundt cake.

Breathe Easy

Masks are a must, but most don’t fit well or allow easy breathing, making wearing them on-the-go a bit of a challenge. LG’s wearable PuriCare HEPA air purifier mask changes all that.

Palate Pleasers

Having dinner with a friend, eating a romantic meal while on a date or celebrating a special event at a restaurant are all things we enjoy. Brickell City Centre offers some delicious new culinary experiences.

Sunny Disposition

I remember many years ago reading a poignant quote from Helen Keller that said: “

United Enjoyment

Fall in Miami is different from the rest of the country. While everyone else is shifting indoors, we’re reveling in al fresco entertainment for the entire family. There’s virtual fun as well.

Grand Reset

With the holidays around the corner and a highly anticipated launch to 2021 a few weeks away, a sense of reflection is in the air.

Ranches & Rodeos

Giddyup urbanites, it’s time to gather your Western gear, leave the asphalt pavement behind, and head to one of these Florida ranches or rodeos for a “posh meets rustic outdoor” good ol’ time in The Sunshine State.

Fab Fêtes

Entertaining at home during a pandemic is definitely different — and in many ways better. Hosts are very cautious and respectful of the situation and having smaller gatherings of immediate family members and close friends that yield memories that will last a lifetime.

Joyful Endeavor

Cheryl Plotkin Lopez believes a small deed goes a long way. This philosophy inspired her to start the non-profit “Foundation Building The Future” with her family.

New-Normal Hair

Increasingly, many are trying to find ways to get a salon look at home. It’s a trend that has boomed in popularity since the pandemic began. Luckily, Hair By Hisham has launched a solution.

Entertainment Oasis

The company who brought us vanishing TV sets and roll-away versions now brings us The Terrace. Samsung’s state-of-the-art outdoor 4K QLED TV and accompanying soundbar are the perfect fit for Miami’s year-round great weather and sprawling outdoor entertainment areas.

Haulin’ Volts

While Elon Musk gets all the media attention for his Tesla vehicles, rocket ships and son with an unpronounceable name, a handful of EV builders are right on his heels, creating very impressive vehicles.

Head-Turner

The first customer DBX destined for The Americas is turning heads at Aston Martin Residences in Miami, further complementing the residential development’s world-class ownership experience.

Power Plus

Designed for adrenaline-charged recreation and billed as the world’s most technically advanced and powerful electrically powered “hyper bicycle” — the Swind EB-01 has an official top speed of 60 mph.

Redefining “Special”

Adopting a special needs animal is a noble act of compassion like no other. These dogs can require more time and be a bit costly, so one needs to think carefully before making the commitment. But know that they’re as amazing, loyal and affectionate companions as any other dog — if not more so!

Art Fix

Always-innovative Downtown Coral Gables is bringing South Florida a pioneering first-of-its-kind curated art experience through the Gables Art Collective.

Peace & Joy

The strangest “social” season in history is upon us and everyone is wondering what the holidays and New Year’s Eve will look like this year.

Best Life

With everything from socially distanced voting rallies to virtual fundraisers, ballet performances and classes accessible from your home or office, Miami remains as vibrant as ever.

Natural Wonders

Florida has more springs than any place else in the world, supporting entire ecosystems and connecting Floridians to 90% of their drinking water. There are over 1,000 springs in The Sunshine State, many found within national and state parks, and several are privately owned.

Hands Of Time

Unlike the plot of the Back To The Future movies, most of us don’t get a chance to go back in time and re-do or undo what we wish we could change. So we did the next best thing and asked some Miami professionals what they would tell their younger selves.

Bountiful Blessings

The Selfless Love Foundation has a bold vision: More foster children matched with their forever family and a strong support system to assist these transitioning youth to become independent, healthy, educated, empowered young adults.

Pandemic Pups

Humans aren’t the only ones affected by the recent events. Tootsie lost everything to COVID-19. Lab Rescue of Florida saved her from Miami-Dade Animal Services. Now she needs a forever home.

Instant Beauty

DashBar is making headlines for its collective beauty bar experience that is quick and efficient, without compromising on quality of service or products. But did you know that they’re also huge believers in ethical beauty?

Photo Power

As a creative, you’re likely not only looking for a high-tech camera that takes great photos, but also one that doesn’t break the bank. The sophisticated Fujifilm X-T200 achieves that balance with picture-perfect precision.

Better Together

When we sat down to plan our special “WHERE ARE THEY NOW?”

World-Class Leaders

Around the world, Jackson Health System is known for saving lives. At the new, state-of-the-art Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial, they go even further: They give patients their lives back.

Boutique Catering

Ape Piaggio has long been a staple in Italy, helping the average person complete otherwise impossible tasks. Ollie & Sous gives this small piece of history a new life in the form of elegant and refined food and beverage trucks ready to elevate any event.

Intimate Confidante

On top of keeping your secrets safe, a dog is one of the most loyal friends you’ll ever have. They will love you even on those days when you may forget to love yourself.

Always Smiling

When my first mask from Isa Zapata’s Soulmates Collection arrived in the mail, I instantly realized my mask game would be forever changed for the better.

September To Remember

Endless fun in the South Florida sun. We’ll show you where to find the hottest experiences — both live and virtual — to keep you entertained. Get ready for some cool adventures and hidden gems the entire family will enjoy, many without even leaving your couch.

Fun In The Sun

As the world reopens, Miami leads the way with an entertaining mix of virtual and live activities from sports to summer camps, museum experiences, shopping, and even a watery jaunt to Stiltsville. Simply put: “We’re back!”

Gimlet The Great

A light green, lime cocktail with a rich naval history and a noticeable kick that’s long been adopted as a sipping drink by cocktail connoisseurs the world over, a traditional Gimlet is as easy as 1-2-3 to make.

Braisin’ In The Sun

It’s summer and it’s time to bring on the meat! Braised short ribs are a year-long staple perfect to serve up when entertaining friends and family, eating at home or just because. It’s one dish sure to have everyone asking for seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths.
