I haven't been everywhere. But it's on my list. Especially when it comes to Europe. There are unending places to go, cities to travel, cuisines to taste, and streets to wander. I know that I won't see it all, but I'd like to at least try. I've put together a list of the absolute musts to see in Europe for a lifetime, the ultimate European bucket list. I've compiled a list of 225 (yes, you read ... Read the Post
The Ultimate European Bucket List
25 of The Best Castles in the World
The world is an astounding place. Sometimes it's hard to imagine what life was like "back then," but once you step foot in a castle, that all changes. I can't believe these fortresses are still around today and that we can actually step inside and pretend to relive Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella. We can walk the same path as conquering kings, powerful queens, and the people who put their ... Read the Post

Also his hunting trip that he's been planning for months was cancelled. He was supposed to leave yesterday. Now, you might ask, Helene that ... Read the Post
The Worst Songs of 2015
My favorite month of the year is December. It also means it's my favorite blogging month of the year. I love LOVE year in review stuff. I eat it up. Every year I post about the worst (and best, for that matter) songs of the year (here's the worst list for 2014 and 2013). I know what you're thinking: But, Helene, there were no bad songs this year.

10 Things That Happen Every November
I cannot even believe it's November. First, I'm in a little bit of denial because November for me is a little crazy. I leave for Dallas to go to my 10 year high school reunion on Thursday. I might be having a free webinar coming up with someone really really cool (get the inside scoop by signing up for my newsletter here.) And I leave for Asia on the 19th and don't come back until the first week ... Read the Post
