A new year often brings about great change, mostly for the better and one of Atlanta’s most historic and visited attractions is getting an upgrade just in time to kick off 2011 in a truly festive way. Underground Atlanta announced that new businesses are opening to get patrons to come back downtown for all their recreational fun and free time. Within the last few years, Underground Atlanta has unfortunately been plagued by crime and unsavory individuals. However, with a new mayor, new police staff and new businesses, Underground Atlanta is hoping to become the hotspot it once was. With these new additions, I think they are definitely on the right track.

On the second day of SIHH, IWC Schaffhausen celebrated it's new Portofino watch collection.

While I myself am in the coffee drinkers category, sometimes we need to change it up a little. Thankfully, I have recently discovered the warmth and goodness of Yogi Tea.
