Tiffany Raiford is a lifelong Floridian, wife to my high school sweetheart and mother of four littles (two girls and boy/girl twins...no, they are not identical and yes, I'm sure). My kids love to whine, so I love to wine. My loves include nap time, bed time, date night, travel and evenings and weekends when my husband is home because he handles all diaper changes.
It’s never easy to pinpoint which of the amazing all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean is the most expensive. The resort that’s most expensive in the fall might not be the most expensive when the summer travel season rolls around. Of course, the cost of one night in any all-inclusive depends on the number of people […] More
Anyone who has ever been to Las Vegas knows that the only way to do the pool at any of the area resorts is with a private cabana. After all, no one wants to fight for a cheap lounge chair where someone’s kids will run around, spill your cocktail and constantly bump into your chair […] More
A List of the Most Expensive Plants Landscaping an acre and-a-half is an expensive job, especially when the builder of your home stuck it in the furthest possible corner of the corner lot, facing it toward the area where your two streets meet. It means a lot of front yard, very little back yard, and […] More
Miami is all about luxury all the time. In case you mistakenly thought it was about hurricanes and white sandy beaches, I’m here to correct you and tell you it’s about luxury homes, luxury hotels, luxury yachts and luxury cars. It’s about being the best of the best, the who’s who of all people, and […] More
The W Hotel family knows how to do it right. The design team behind this family of hotels and resorts likes to push the envelope in terms of décor and ambiance, and they always seem to make it happen in the just the right places and in just the right manner. The moment I walk […] More
Uniqueness in a five-star hotel is like looking for a high price tag on a pair of Christian Louboutins in Saks; easy to find and highly coveted. Being the best of the best is not something that every hotel in the country can achieve, but it’s something that many have done with ease. Ask anyone […] More
Whiskey is an acquired taste, much like anything bold and flavorful. There are always those who love the taste from the start but people like myself have to acquire a taste for it. My husband, for instance, enjoys whiskey on occasion, but it’s not his go-to choice when it comes to an alcoholic beverage. Much […] More
New York City is my favorite city in the world. As much as I love the beaches of Hawaii, the scenic views and gorgeous weather in Orange County, the gorgeous vineyards and amazing atmosphere in Napa and even the hot, humidity of the Caribbean, nothing competes with NYC in my heart. My husband and I […] More
When we think of a Margarita, we picture it on a beach in its frozen state. We don’t necessarily picture a Russian-born Swiss billionaire with ties to the Louis-Dreyfus family; but that’s who we are discussing today. Not that we don’t agree that a frozen margarita would be perfect right now. Margarita Louis-Dreyfus is not […] More
My favorite watch, other than my Apple watch (and only when it tells me I’ve burned an excessive number of calories throughout the day) is my rose gold monochrome Marc Jacobs. It’s small, it’s dainty and it’s perfectly dressed up for any occasion. I love it because it’s rose gold all over and that, in […] More
Caracas is located in Venezuela, which is said to be a beautiful location. I won’t pretend it’s on my list of places to go in that I’ve just never found a reason to draw me to the area. However, everyone I know who has ever traveled to the city is in love. They have been […] More
New Orleans is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and for good reason. There is nothing that epitomizes a mixture of Cajun history with the southern hospitality that comes with being in the south. The city has been through so much in the past 11 years, but that doesn’t mean it’s not […] More
