Boston Terrier!! I've had two and they are the best! Great personalities, hilarious, but also super cuddly and loving! I volunteer with a French Bulldog rescue and they are so prone to health problems...it's really sad. I would recommend planning financally for health problems down the road ...

Nice....Amangiri has their own Via Ferrata that is only open to resort guests - I'd definitely check that out if I were staying there!...

In response to a few of the other replies: There is now a Colt Grill in the Village of Oak Creek, so no need to go to Cottonwood! There is now a Shuttle Service for a few of the more popular trailheads (SedonaShuttle.com) - be sure to check it out, especially if you are planning on hiking Cath...

[quote]It’s a 4 hr drive from PHX to the GC. A round trip is not something you’ll want to do in one day. Just got back from Sedona today. Stay there. It’s a great jumping off point to everywhere and it’s gorgeous! 2 hr drive to GC. Less than hr to Cottonwood and Jerome. Great hiking trails, spas,...

Sedona. It's roughly 2 hours from Phoenix and 1 hour from Flagstaff, and you have to go 30 minutes to Cottonwood for the nearest WalMart, ha! The weather is amazing, it does get hot in the summer, but not nearly as hot as Phoenix AND it cools down at night, and it snows in the winter, but not as m...
Recently I've been noticing that alot of foods taste sweeter to me - even things like bacon and eggs. Has anyone else experienced this or know why it happens? I will say that since I've been Keto my sweet tooth has pretty much disappeared - I never imagined that I could go without sweets, but I ...

If you do Devil's Bridge you might have better luck doing it during the week, as it gets VERY crowded on the weekends. Always, the earlier the better. You really can't go wrong with any hiking in Sedona, it's beautiful everywhere. You can make a loop with Soldier's Pass, Brins Mesa and Jordan Tra...
I've been following a Keto diet for a few weeks now - I'm not tracking it religiously, but have plugged random days into Carb Manager and I'm right on point. I'm pretty small already, so one thing I've noticed is that Ive had to increase my calorie intake to combat weight loss. One really great th...
Highly recommend seeing Free Solo....it’s incredible what he did. He put years into studying the route, practicing, journaling it...I guess it’s about as “safe” as you can do something like that. The film starts off with him making it to the top...even so, your heart is racing and hands are sweati...

re: Phoenix/Scottsdale Area

Posted by Desiderita01 on 11/30/18 at 8:02 am
Lots of options - just depends on what you like, really! Tons of hiking around the area, and yes, if you've never been Sedona is a great, easy day trip. I've lived here 4 months now and have probably gone 6 times. Scottsdale probably has the most concentrated variety of great restaurant and night...

Along Indian School (from about 36th to 44th), up to Camelback and just south of Indian School, is a decent area for young professionals - plenty of restaurants and such, but still close to Scottsdale. Obviously hit or miss so definitely check out any place/area before moving. There really is so...

I don’t know much of the background, but Cindy McCain spoke at the GOP rally last night in Prescott. I voted straight R. I haven’t been here long but people don’t seem to be as outwardly vocal about their politics as in TX. I have a good feeling about McSally....

re: Any Gym Members?

Posted by Desiderita01 on 10/15/18 at 10:52 pm
I started working out in a gym when I was 18. As a girl I get it...it was so intimidating, but I learned how to lift and worked at it. 35 and I’m still at it. Consistency is key. It’s just become a part of my life, like eating or brushing my teeth. I’ve always enjoyed it, but lately I’ve been w...

Oakhurst would be a good option if you want to be in Fort Worth. It’s a cute little neighborhood just outside (NE) of downtown, and the Race Street area is being revitalized so there are exciting things happening over there. It’s one of the areas I would have considered buying a house if I was sti...
