A Special Sunday Funday at The Whitley Hotel in Atlanta.

In October I attended a very special “Sunday Funday” with a few friends at The Whitley Hotel in Atlanta. For those of you who follow my blog and social media, you are probably aware of my previous coverage of  The Whitley Hotel in Atlanta. I had the pleasure of attending the grand opening of their restaurant Trade Root. In June I also attended their luxury spa debut. Both events were fabulous.

October was Breast Cancer Awareness month. I try to do something every year to honor my Mother who passed away from breast cancer in 2011. I have written about her love for travel and being my travel inspiration. This year I received shocking news that two friends in my age group were diagnosed with breast cancer. As a physician I realize the importance of self-breast exams and regular mammograms. Thank goodness my friends got diagnosed early and treatment to a cure was possible.

While scrolling through social media, I noticed that The Whitley Hotel in Atlanta was acknowledging Breast Cancer Awareness month. There were pink ribbons on a tree to honor those affected by the disease as well as special spa treatments. Around that time, I also noticed TravelZoo specials for massages and brunch for 2 in Trade Root restaurant. I decided The Whitely Hotel was the perfect place for a Sunday Funday to honor those affected by breast cancer.

We started off with brunch at Trade Root restaurant. Brunch is offered every Saturday and Sunday. On Saturdays there is live music. Our server explained the concept. There were several buffet stations including fresh fruit, a hot food area, omelet and carving stations and delicious assortments of desserts.

What is unique about the brunch at Trade Root restaurant is that they also have a menu of items to choose from. You can pick an unlimited amount of items and they are all included in the price. These food items are tapas style. I think we ended up getting all of them except for 1 lol. We particularly enjoyed the crab cakes, shrimp and grits, grilled salmon and eggs Benedict. In fact, all the brunch items were delicious. At the end of our meal we were treated to a beautiful pink ribbon display of desserts! Macarons, cheesecake, fruits and other sweets. It was almost too beautiful to eat but we did 🙂

After brunch we headed upstairs to The Whitley Spa & Wellness area. After check-in we were offered glasses of champagne. Most of us received 50 minutes massages with the TravelZoo voucher. However, one of my friends did the 80 minute “Spiced Passion Fruit Cake Body Collection”. It includes a body polish, a massage and a honey heel glaze foot massage. I will definitely have to return for one of these signature treatments. I was hoping to do the breast cancer awareness pink pedicure but there wasn’t enough time. I suggest checking their website often for specials.

Please Like, Comment, Share if you can see this! 
I have 19,000 followers and Instagram is showing my posts to 50 people. Like WTH?!! 
Quality posts with good pictures, videos & travel information and I get 350 views on reels With 19K followers! When I started making reels with no effort I received triple of that. 

I’m being told it’s just a competitive algorithm and nothing is wrong with my account but that is hard to believe. It’s very frustrating as a content creator when working with brands. 

Who else feels my pain? 😣😣

  • Have I mentioned that I hate cold 🥶 weather?!! It’s cold again in Atlanta and I’m miserable! 

The only time I’m ok with being cold is if I’m in beautiful surroundings in a cold weather place with a purpose like Whistler BC! 

I was there last April and Oh M G!!! I ❤️ it! 
Stunning views 🎑
Delicious food & wine 🍷 & unique experiences like the vodka ice 🧊 bar @thebearfoot 
Amazing skiing 🎿 of course 
The luxury indoor/outdoor spa @scandinavewhis 
Cultural stops @slccwhistler 
And of course my stay @fairmontwhistlr who doesn’t want to stay at a Chateau resort in the mountains 🏔️?! 

Have you been to @gowhistler ? If not catch that flight ✈️ this winter!

  • I am so excited for my @culinarytravels_thesophislife trip with @goaheadtours to Northern Italy 🇮🇹 and I will be telling you all about it at 6pm ET tonight! One of the stops is Bologna and we will be taking a pasta 🍝 making class!! 
Each day we will be incorporating fun food & wine 🍷 experiences along with cultural tours. Join us!! Spots are limited. Sign up for my newsletter for details!

Don’t just visit Italy, take a little of it home with you. “The pasta-making class in Bologna is an absolute highlight of the tour. The base recipe for the dough is also so easy to remember and replicate back home,” said staffer Kyle. Book your Food & Wine: Northern Italy & the Italian Riviera tour to start your culinary journey.
  • Did anyone see this video by @oprah over the Holidays? It was hilarious 🤣 

She dropped the truffle she was about to use in her lightly scrambled eggs 🍳 It landed on the floor where her dogs 🐕 had recently been seen in the video. She blew on it before using it and laughed calling it the “30 second rule” 😅😅
I am sure her floors are cleaner than any of ours. 

I credit Oprah for learning more about truffles. I had tried truffle fries in restaurants but I have since had them with other dishes. 

In October on the @culinarytravels_thesophislife trip to Northern Italy 🇮🇹 we will be truffle hunting in Alba with a dog 🐕 and an experienced hunter from a multigenerational truffle hunting family-yes it’s that serious!! 

I can’t wait!! This is just one of the exceptional experiences that are part of the food + wine tour I have curated with @goaheadtours 

Tune in tomorrow LIVE at 6pm to hear all the details. Bookings for this trip start on Thursday!! Remember Morocco sold out in 2 days!!
