  • Hot Springs Weekend

    Hello Honeybees,

    Sometimes 48 hours is all you need to get in alignment. This past weekend I was able to do just that. I got away for 48 hours with my aunt, a friend and two of my cousins to help celebrate my aunts birthday. We didn’t go far but this trip accomplished it’s mission for me. I got a chance to just relax and enjoy.

     

    Hot Springs, Arkansas is only a few hours away from Memphis making it a quick and easy getaway.

    We hit the road Friday morning and had lunch at The Bleu Monkey Grill in Hot Springs. I didn’t get any lunch pictures because I was starving. They had a delicious bread with the pesto dipping oil.

    There was a religious conference in Hot Springs happening at the same time so finding lodging was a challenge. My cousin who planned the trip likes to stay with the Choice Hotels family. When we pulled up to the motel I was very skeptical. We checked out the rooms to make sure that we were going to stay, we were pleasantly surprised. We had a back up but we didn’t need it.
    After the drive & food we were in for the night. We ate leftovers lunch for dinner & we knocked out for the night.

    Saturday morning we had an early start. First up was breakfast. We ate at the cutest pancake house. In fact it was so good we went back the next morning before leaving. I highly recommend this family owned establishment.

    We had a little time to kill before our thermal pool & steam cave appointment so we took a quick self guided tour of the Fordyce Bathhouse Visitors Center. I like history so it was fascinating to see the history of the bath houses & physical therapy equipment.

    Next up was the Thermal Pools at Quapaw Baths & Spa. Sitting in 104 degree water was AMAZING then spending 20 minutes in the steam cave was just what my mind, body and skin needed. I really enjoyed the experience & the price was just right. I would like to go back for a full day of services.

     

    Afterwards we headed to Thai-Me Spa for drinks, massages and the oxygen bar.

    We had a late lunch at the Fisherman’s Wharf. The view was beautiful & the food was delicious.

    Next stop was the Garvan Woodland Gardens. We got there an hour before closing so we didn’t get to tour the grounds but we did get to see the Carillon and the beautiful chapel.

    Whew, we packed a lot in one day but it was fun & relaxing. Great company, good food and beautiful scenery was just what I needed to get back in the groove.

    There is so much history that I didn’t get to explore. There will definitely be another trip to Hot Springs in the future. Follow me on Instagram for more picture.

  • Let’s Celebrate

    Hello Honeybees,

    It’s a celebration at the honeycomb.

    On July 16, 2015 I pushed the send button on my very first blog post. It was scary, very scary but also very liberating.

    The blog has gone thru several changes, including name changes. I started with Blogging With Bee, then The Honeybee 901 and what I think will be my final name change The Honeybee’s Lifestyle. The name changes reflect my growth from blogger to brand. Yes, I’m building a brand. A brand that will encompass more than blogging but a true lifestyle. A lifestyle of ageless living.

    It’s no coincidence that I chose July 16th. I picked that day because it’s also my birthday. Today I not only celebrate The Honeybee’s Lifestyle brand but I am celebrating me. I am celebrating my own ageless living mantra. Most bloggers & influencers were younger than me when they started building their brands but it’s not about the number of candles on the cake it’s about what’s in your heart & living life to the fullest. My heart is wide open and I am open to what God has placed in it. I am starting to walk in my purpose, one step at a time.

    I invite you to help me celebrate The Honeybee’s Lifestyle brand and also The Honeybee herself.

    Cheers!!!!

  • Who Told You No?

    Hello Honeybees,

    Who told you that you couldn’t do something? Who told you that it would be to hard? That you are to old or to young? Who told you that you couldn’t do it because you didn’t have the right education? Who said you didn’t know the right people?

    My question to you is this… did you listen? If you did listen…WHY?
    Was it because of the position this person holds in your life? Was it a teacher? Friend? Your boss? Parent? Spouse?

    We let people get inside our heads and hearts & talk us out of our vision. We can feel the pull of our vision. We know deep in our soul where our passion lies but we let others talk us out of pursuing it.

    We, that includes ME, have to get past the NO’s and move towards our YES. I can respect the opinion of those close to me but in the end it’s up to me to take action on MY vision. I might receive a whole lot of no’s but it only takes one yes. My yes!

    Yes, you can start that business. Yes you can change careers. Yes you can start that blog. Yes you can learn a new hobby. Yes you can write that book. Yes you can move to another state. Yes you can follow your vision.
