Yacht Magic: An insider’s guide to getting the most out of the Miami International...

Since not everyone has the same taste in boats, Miami has not one but two boat shows taking place the same weekend. If you’re being picky, you could say it actually has three shows, each at a separate location. From trailerable runabouts to magnificent superyachts, plus a flotilla of sailboats, this weekend truly has something for everyone. To make it even better, these shows also feature stunning collections of food, clothing, accessories, art, music and endless photo opps for the entire family.

Dancing Feet

Ever wonder just who is dancing on the side of the InterContinental Miami? Each year, the hotel hosts a Skyline Dancers competition and this year they took it to social media where people all over the world could submit video auditions for their chance to win a spot on the side of the building for the calendar year.

Iron It Out

Without adequate iron — essential for the production of hemoglobin, which helps your red blood cells distribute oxygen to your body — anemia can develop. Iron deficiency is one of the most common ailments of our time. The following are signs that your iron count might not be where it needs to be.

Perfect Bed

Haven’t had a great night’s sleep in a long time? Well, neither have I...until now. I feel like I want to shout and tell the world about a new mattress that was delivered to my home just a few weeks ago that has allowed me to sleep like a baby ever since.

For the better part of a century, the Old-Fashioned has been starring in cocktails around America and abroad. This year, take it into the future with a little extra kick.

Drinks On You

We’ve all evolved our bar tastes at one point or another throughout our lives. The Jäger Bombs downed in college or the Happy Hour rail drinks ordered during the first couple of years in the workforce to save a little cash just don’t cut it anymore. Or maybe they do. Either way, it’s OK.

Mind Your Manners

Nobody wants to take on the role of Etiquette Police at the table — but just because no one’s saying anything when a fine dining faux pas makes polite stomachs turn, doesn’t mean that everyone isn’t wishing someone had taught the perpetrator some manners.

Hearth, Home & Biochemistry

The place you call home has a direct affect on your quality of life. The reason this is so is simple is because our surroundings dictate how life unfolds.
