Darna Market. Where Santorini meets Dallas.

When we learned about the opening of Darna Market at Legacy West in Plano, an authentic Mediterranean eatery, I knew we had to go and not just because I love Mediterranean cuisine– Darna sources premium ingredients, making key staples, like dough and hummus, in house.

While it may not have been the trip to Europe I was hoping for this summer, the experience did not disappoint.

Darna Market is well worth the trek to Plano.

Americans are chronically dehydrated and it’s not because we are not getting enough fluids. We’re just not hydrating with enough pure drinking water, instead substituting for sports drinks, diet sodas, and more dehydrating fluids, like coffee and alcohol. Coffee does not count.

Sunshine’s (sort of secret) Mini Bonsai Tree Shop

Plants are important to have in the home. They can help purify the air, alleviate stress and improve overall well-being.

Bonsai trees are something beyond. They are magical. Like an old companion, I feel like that if you have a Bonsai tree in your home, you will never be alone.

Have you ever been to “Sunshine Miniature (Bonsai) Trees” shop? Located on Greenville Ave, in a very yellow, “out of place,” house, you will instantly be transformed to a magical place like no other “tree shop” you’ve probably encountered. You don’t have to know what you are looking for in a tree. Just go in and let the trees… speak to you. 😉
