With Valentine's Day behind us, I thought it would be a great time to focus on you. It is easy getting caught up in the whirlwind of taking care of others, whether your children, spouse, friends or family. In turn, I wanted to take this post as an opportunity to share different ways you can treat yourself.
I kicked off the New Year by writing about Artificial Intelligence (AI). To read this blog CLICK HERE. Now I’d like to dig deeper into this subject by taking a look at “Alexa” – a name I really like because I have a cute five-year-old relative with that name. Here are the pertinent points about Alexa as described by Amazon.
On Adea, we focus a lot on traveling. We have taken you to Miami, Cuba, London and beyond. Yet, what are some tips especially for those long haul flights? We know airline air isn't the best. It's drying and especially when spending hours in it, it does take its toll. And, what to wear? You want to be comfortable but still want some style. To help with your next flight, here are some tips to help keep you hydrated and ready to begin your travels, as soon as you step off of your flight.
Switzerland is a peaceful nation that hasn’t been involved in a war for 500 years. But that’s not its only claim to fame: it is also home to Institut Villa Pierrefeu (I.V. P.), a finishing school for females located in a village high above picturesque Montreux on Lake Geneva. In the October 8, 2018 issue of The New Yorker I read a fascinating article, written by Alice Gregory, who came up with a lot of eye-opening info about this rara avis institution.
Last month I wrote about Crazy Rich Asians, the first book in an over-the-top trilogy written by Kevin Kwan. Full disclosure: I didn’t even KNOW there were three books until an Asian acquaintance, with a classy Australian accent, told me she was reading Book #3.
With all of the new fashion coming at us, especially with spring collections hitting the stores, it's easy to get caught up in the latest trends or styling fads. Of course I enjoy breaking them down for you, such as in Fashion Week Street Style Trends or The Belt Bag, but for this post, I decided to go to basics. That is, back to basics with Adea.
I must admit, I’ve never given much thought to Valentine’s Day – as an adult that is – it’s different when one is a child. We’ll bring this up again later. To start, let’s look at the options for this special day.
One of the best features of the Weekend Financial Times is the ever-popular “Lunch with the FT” where a crackerjack writer interviews a famous celebrity for one-to-two hours. Questions and answers are weaved into the lunch that often starts with: why this particular restaurant was chosen (by the interviewee), what appetizers or entrées to order, and finally, what midday drinks should be ordered (if at all).
I know very little about military life, but after reading an in-depth article about four young women at an air base in the middle of a desert on the Arabian Peninsula I was very impressed.
In the late summer and fall of 2018 a tsunami of publicity for the movie Crazy Rich Asians hit America. In August there was a write-up in the New York Post, New Yorker and the Weekend Financial Times (a big, bold headline on the front page – very unusual).
We’re entering a brand new year so I believe it’s time to tackle a subject I’ve been avoiding: Artificial Intelligence. Why have I been skirting around AI for so long? Full disclosure: No matter how much I read about it – I still don’t really grasp it.
“Oh God, I have to get rid of these extra pounds!”
This is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions – whether it’s five pounds or 50 many people say to themselves, “It’s a new year and I’m starting with a clean slate, so this is it.” Eating healthy (no potato chips) and bringing one’s weight down is #1 on this list.
