Are you one of those people who wished her hair grew faster just so you could go to the salon more often? I am. In fact, going to the salon is one of my favorite things to do, and not just because I come out looking better than when I went in. I come out FEELING better than when I went in. 
It all has to do with the art of conversation. When you’re sitting in the chair chatting with your stylist, you are, in that moment, both on Team You. Together, you and your stylist are there to help you look and feel better about yourself. And unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you have to agree that women in our society need lots of opportunities to feel better about themselves. 
In today’s episode, my guest host is Lily Jeovanna of Lily + Lion salon in Newport, RI. Lily and I are going to talk about what it means to partner up in such a fun way, and why she loves her job so much. Listen in!

Yoga at Your Place, Chicken at Fluke. That’s a strange title, for sure, but it describes this episode perfectly. First, Buck and I welcome Jessica Ackerman from Yoga on the Rhody, a different kind of yoga program that brings the ohm to your home. 
Plus, we returned to Fluke Newport at Bannister’s Wharf last week to see what their new chef has to offer summer diners. Listen in for the dish!

EPISODE 121: By Discover Newport

Before the summer season gets fully underway, but after school lets out, Buck and Helena like to head south and get an early start to summer life by spending a week in the Caribbean. Each year, they head to a different island in search of one that might entice them to return. 
For many years, their Newport friends (especially those with boats) have consistently sung the praises of the Bahamas. Even though they are not boat people, the Harrises do trust their boating friends when it comes to their Caribbean recommendations. In this episode, your hosts dish all about their favorite island getaway that isn’t Newport. It’s great for couples, families, and adventurers. Plus, the episode starts off with a few fun things to do in Newport this July.  Listen in!

EPISODE 120: By Discover Newport

As you plan your Newport summer adventures (or special event), you may be wondering how to bring your much-loved dog with you. It’s so hard to leave them home when they are such an integral part of our everyday lives. Well, wonder no more! When you come to Newport, your dog can come, too!
This week, we bring you a 2017 episode with Lucky Dog Resort owner, Laurie Ruttenberg. Lucky Dog is a unique place for dogs to hang while their owners go a gallavanting; whether that’s exploring Newport for fun, or starting the first day of your married life together. Laurie shares the story of how she got started, what’s special about her resort, and the amazing feeling that comes from being a part of a bride’s dream as her super cute basset hound escorts her down the aisle. Plus, we dine & dish about the Boathouse, Tequila, and cocktails. Listen in!
