Lux Tip: Wrap Your Wine Bottles Like a Pro

Filed under: Wine, Lux Tips


I'm not savvy at all to the nuances in what makes a dinner party a success, but I hear that entertaining in your home is as much about the presentation as it is about the company -- the homes that people feel most relaxed in and want to go back to are usually the ones that have are enjoyable for both the company and the dining experience. And the key to making a dining experience enjoyable is in the details of food and presentation.

Makes sense to me, which is why this how to lesson on how to wrap your wine bottles like the fine restaurants do could come handy the next time you have friends over. I would certainly be impressed.

How to Make a Million (Before You Turn 20!)

The American dream is a little different for everybody but it almost always has something to do with having lots of money and being financially stable. Of those who do have wealth some were born into rich families, some worked like dogs for years and years to build a successful empire, and then others hit it big seemingly by random chance.

This article highlights the successes of 5 people who were millionaires before the age of 20. Whether it was launching an online website for high school friends, selling greeting cards to friends and family, or cooking jams in the kitchen, these kids all did something seriously right.

Hm, needless to say I'm just a tad past my 20th birthday and I don't have any good business ideas. Guess I'll just have to stick to the lottery tickets!

10 of the Best Dream Villas (and Why You Want to Rent One)

Filed under: Journeys


Why rent a luxury hotel room when you can step it up a notch and have a villa instead? Many people don't consider villas by sheer reason that the thought doesn't occur to them, or if it does it's intimidating because people aren't sure how it works. It's really not that complicated, and the benefits of having your own luxury home (as opposed to just a suite in a hotel) at your disposal for the duration of your vacation are amazing.

As far as which villas you might want to consider take a look at the 10 on this slide show, which are complete with villa renting tips like how to consider whether or not you'll need to rent a car and how to choose the best season. Apparently Croatia is becoming one of the hottest villa-vacation hot spots in Europe, and Meikloeur Castle in Scotland is one of the priciest renting for $37,200 per week (but for that you get your own 18 hole golf course).
