Gratuity Standards Around the World

In the United States, most people use an exact formula to calculate how much gratuity they pay to those in the service industry. For others, a tip is paid according to the quality of service(s) received. It can be a sensitive topic. Various restaurants pay their wait staff low wages, with the expectation that gratuities from [...]

Sail Away

It’s that time of year again: Memorial Day is coming up. A day to celebrate those brave men and women who have fought for our nation and continue to battle for the freedoms we enjoy each day. Also, it’ll be fashionable acceptable to wear all forms of white clothing, the kids are anticipating the school year’s end, the weather’s warmed up, we’ve gotten past those April showers and into the May flowers and it’s finally time to fire up the grill (kabobs for everyone!).

The summer holidays are upon us, folks. Slather on that sunscreen, grabs some water bottles, compile a radiantly carefree playlist and make some plans! We hear Memorial Day travel is on the decline this year, but maybe all everyone needs (besides some extra cash flow) is a little motivation. Here’s an idea: go sailing.

You see that fellow in the photo to the above? The one jumping into the ocean like flipper’s protégé? Well, you can’t see his face, but we’re willing to bet he’s one happy sailor, and the young lady to his right is definitely enjoying herself. All this enjoyment could be yours! Read More »

Floating Markets

I’ve got a confession to make: I may have a “thing” for floating markets.

Here in the United States, rivers and streams are reserved for fishing, rafting, swimming and a plethora of other exciting activities. Grocery shopping, however, is not on that list. This is why the idea of experiencing commerce on-board a canoe is just plain intriguing. How does everyone navigate around each other? Is it anything like rush-hour traffic? Do they offer up samples like in American markets?

If you follow us on Tumblr, you may have already noticed we show some serious love to the floating market. You might have some similar questions,which is why we’re happy to announce our new tour, dedicated to these mercantile gems! Read More »

Mother’s Day is NOT a Greeting Card Holiday

I’ll admit it, I question some holidays on our calendar. Yes, George Washington made serious history as our nation’s first president, but do the banks really need to close in observance?

Some people write Valentine’s Day off as a fake holiday, but personally, I welcome the abundance of love when there’s so much hate in this world. Then you’ve got occasions like Sweetest Day, Boss’s Day & Secretary’s Day (politically corrected as Administrative Professional’s Day). They work their crafty little way into our calendar each year, and because we love our sweethearts, admire our bosses and treasure our admins, we shower them with flowers, candies and tastefully clever greeting cards – yes, greeting cards.

Spring Days & SweetWater

Yes, he painted this by hand!

The start of springtime in Atlanta means two things: heavy yellow blankets of pollen on every inanimate and exposed outdoor object and the Sweetwater 420 Festival.

At this celebration, Sweetwater Brewing Company gives you a chance to taste a few of their most popular drafts, and like at any good festival, local vendors come out to showcase their most prized pieces. If you’re planning a trip to Atlanta next April, stock up on some allergy medicine and consider checking out the fun! More pictures after the jump.  Read More »
