Wynwood, Miami is a bit of a thing. It’s an Art District showcasing some pretty spectacular graffiti murals, “good vibes” (i.e. the smell of mary jane), and lots of hip eateries and shops. So that means a ton of people: not my favorite thing. 😆 But that is where Charley’s Read more…

Breakfast can often go two ways–vibrant or gluttonous. This morning we headed over to a no-fail vegan breakfast option that I rarely take part in, an acai bowl.
