Feeling Good at the Cabaret: A Show That Sings Straight to Your Soul Some shows are polite little evenings where you nod, clap, and go home. Others? They waltz right up to you, toss you a martini, and demand you dance along. Feeling Good, the latest cabaret production from Florida Studio Theatre, is...

San Diego Bayfair once again transformed Mission Bay into a theater of speed and spectacle, and Family Beautiful was there to capture the magic. Writer Marc Hagest takes readers deep inside the roar and rush of the hydroplanes, where engines screamed across the water at over 200 miles per hour and the shoreline pulsed with the energy of fans, families, and festival-goers.

In his feature, Hagest paints a vivid picture of a weekend that was equal parts racing drama and coastal celebration—sun-soaked days, adrenaline-charged moments, and the kind of excitement that only Bayfair delivers. From the history of the event to the unforgettable highlights of this year’s races, the story dives into what makes Bayfair not just a competition, but a San Diego tradition.

La Cave à Nicoud at 32 Route des Moulins is one of those rare little gems that doesn’t just open its doors — it practically pulls up a chair for you. Just two skips away from Le Confidentiel, it’s the kind of spot where you press pause before diving into a decadent dinner.

The wine list? A perfectly balanced mix of intrigue and restraint. No ego-driven labels here, no sommelier flexing with bottles you can’t pronounce — just wines with soul, character, and a little wink of charm. Every pour feels like someone handpicked it to impress your palate, not your Instagram followers.

It’s not just a wine bar; it’s a vibe. 🍷✨

Ray Collins gives us the true "skinny" of this adventure.. They finally made it to Iguazú Falls — one of the great natural wonders of the world. Yes, it was massive, yes, it was powerful, yes, it was beautiful… but keep it real for a moment.
It was also cold, rainy, packed with people elbowing for the same view, and definitely not cheap. Add in hours of walking in the mist (while fighting frizz and damp clothes), feeling a little under the weather, and then waiting six whole hours at the airport for the flight back… let’s just say it wasn’t exactly the magical postcard moment they had imagined. 😂✈️☔
Was it worth seeing once? Sure. Would he rush back? Probably not. But hey — sometimes the best part of travel isn’t the perfect photo, it’s the stories you get to tell after. And Iguazú definitely left me with a story.”

Some art hangs on a wall. Norbert Klauber’s art breathes. His canvases pulse with rhythm, pulling you into worlds that feel both familiar and dreamlike. 🌌

Step closer, and you’ll discover more than abstract paintings — you’ll find living landscapes where emotion takes on shape and hue.

Norbert Klauber doesn’t just paint. He composes symphonies of light and color. 🎶✨

In his latest travel feature, Ray Collins paints Argentina in vivid strokes — from the rhythm and romance of Buenos Aires, where tango spills into the streets and every corner café hums with energy, to the awe-inspiring grandeur of Iguazú Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world. Collins doesn’t just describe the journey; he invites readers to feel the heartbeat of the city, savor the flavors of Argentine cuisine, and stand at the edge of thundering cascades where nature unleashes its raw power. This is more than travel — it’s an immersion into passion, culture, and breathtaking landscapes.

A Night of Harmony & Heart

What’s better than an evening of music that makes your heart smile? An evening at Florida Studio Theatre’s Goldstein Cabaret with A Band Called Honalee!

This isn’t your average tribute. These artists don’t just cover Peter, Paul & Mary—they transport you to a time when music meant something. Every harmony is rich and warm. Every guitar strum feels like sunshine. And every story they share pulls you deeper into the magic of the folk-rock era.

✨ Highlights?
✔ “Blowin’ in the Wind” (with chills)
✔ “Puff the Magic Dragon” (try not to cry)
✔ “California Dreamin’” (pure joy)

Plus, they sprinkle in fascinating backstories, playful banter, and even a little audience participation. This is music you don’t just hear—you feel.

Travel in high culinary style with Dr. Jeffrey Marvin in Europe!

There’s something magical about cooking in Europe, especially when the markets are brimming with fresh local treasures. For my latest feature in Family Beautiful, I share the joy of creating simple, elegant meals while staying in a lakeside apartment on Lake Annecy. Think crusty baguettes still warm from the boulangerie, creamy artisan cheeses, and a bottle of Savoie wine to toast the evening.

When you’re surrounded by alpine beauty and flavors that speak of place and tradition, even the most humble meal becomes an experience. Read more in the current issue of Family Beautiful—a story about slowing down, savoring life, and bringing a taste of Europe to your own table.
