KATANAS

Coolest spot for a little sushi Shindig

This place is literally a whole in the wall  and an institution for Miami Beach locals.

Concept: Small plates with tapas style sushi going around on a homemade river or so called "conveyer belt" boat.

Plates range from $1.50-$3.50 (CHEAP!)

Tip: Get the bottle of unfiltered Nigori Sake $9.50 and a Mango Snapper Roll.. finish it off with a Cheesecake Tempura

MIAMI: Quick tip

I attended a Stretching class at a new yoga studio on south beach called THE GREEN MONKEY. It was incredible! I was working on muscles i never knew were there.
I joined the class thinking it was Friday and i wanted to be extremely lazy in the workout department and treat my body to a good stretch.
Well...little did i know this wasn't any ordinary class... I was sweating and my muscles were uncontrollably trembling... it was a  deep amazing workout!
The best and most entertaining part of it all was ..You partner up with someone else in the class and do strange things to loosen each others muscles..for example.... walking on one another's back, massaging your partners shoulders with your feet.. standing on each others butt and kneading the buttocks with your toes...hahaha (like nothing i have ever done before)


TIP:
 1) make sure you have sparkling clean feet , preferably well manicured so you dont gross out your stretching partner 
2) if your wierded out by other peoples feet on you bring a friend to the class :)


So basically this class was called Evening Stretch ( sounds relaxing right?...haha)

This is the description straight out of the green monkey website:


This is an educational class as well as a very hands-on program.  This class has been designed to take both new and experienced yogis to the next level in their practice. Focus will be on areas that hold chronic tension such as the quads, lower back and hamstrings.  Class will feature a fusion of problem-solving techniques, Thai bodywork, Ki-Hara Mashing™ and dynamic yoga exercises to strengthen weak muscle groups while providing flexibility without substitution in order to bring balance to your body and soul.If you struggle with yoga positions and are aware of tension in your upper and lower body, or if you are dealing with chronic pain or problem areas, then this class is a must for you!




So anyways, i left feeling like a million bucks, which is exactly how i like to feel...
I was as flexible as a pretzel, and i felt DARN GOOD!

new me

Welcome to my blog.
WHO AM I?
3 words. e·vin·cive ,  e·da·cious , ex·cur·sion·ist.

I am a fan of the good things in life. Whether it be a good meal, splurging on an outfit, or vicariously traveling.
I believe in enjoying everything in the moment... in other words Splurging without worrying about tomorrow...
So basically i can't save a paycheck... i would rather go out to a nice dinner with friends, order the foie gras or the toro...and then the next day be broke as hell. Is this the right way to do things? In my book... YES.. although it's not for everyone!

Life is good when i'm sitting in a funky neighborhood cafe... in a bustling city, drinking a warm cup of earl grey tea while people watching. These strangers intrigue me, motivate me.. without a single word. Why are they dressed like that? What's their story? Where do they go to eat, drink, play, shop?

I want to know it all. I want to be in all these places, all the time.
Ok.. i'm not going to lie, i'm totally judgemental. I love criticizing ridiculous clothing or behavior, but its all in good faith. Just for a laugh.

So heres the deal, i'm not a professional writer, i'm just going to share a few secrets with you.

In this blog i will Uncover cities....
By means of...
Fashion, Food & Fun. (haha how cliche)
I will tell you all my secrets about the best little spots to be, the cutest boutiques, and hidden treasures around the cities i visit. I have done my fair share of research, spending countless hours and all my paychecks to find out where i can get the GOOD THINGS IN LIFE from each city.


The first 2 cities you will hear about is Miami & Berlin(best place on earth)..

So to all of you out there who are just like me & who think like me, then join me.
