Volcanic Hot Springs, Nevis #travel #NevisMangoFest #BathHotel

#sponsored travel
One of the most interesting stops on Nevis is the Bath Hotel. The first tourist hotel on Nevis, built in the late 1770s, it offered a unique spa experience for its visitors. The grand three-story hotel is also the location of Sulphur Springs, a volcanic hot spring area.
Below the hotel stands the old spring house, where wealthy tourists could bathe in the healing mineral waters. Though the hotel now houses offices and the spring house is no longer the spa experience of choice, there are fresh air spots where tourists of today can enjoy the hot springs.
The springs are heated underground by Mount Nevis' volcano, which hasn't erupted in over 100,000 years. There is a covered pavilion near the old bath house, over a small pool of the hot spring water, as well as a channel with steps for visitors to sit in the sun and dip their feet in the hot water.
The channel is a beautiful area where architecture and nature come together. I noticed the air around the hot springs was much warmer, although there was no sulphur smell at all. I walked down the concrete steps into the channel and removed my shoes.
Nearby, an employee stands ready with moist washcloths so visitors can wipe their feet before putting them in springs. The water is really hot and I was told it was between 104-108 degrees in different spots. About ten minutes of feet immersion was all I could handle!
The volcanic hot springs are definitely a recommended experience when you visit the tropical West Indies Island of Nevis!

Hermitage Pig Roast Buffet, Nevis #travel #NevisMangoFest

#sponsored travel
If you've never tried West Indian food, The Hermitage Plantation hosts a spectacular pig roast and buffet every Wednesday night which is the perfect introduction. Since my travel accommodations were at The Hermitage, the enticing aroma of the roasting pig floated through my cottage windows all afternoon.
This traditional West Indian buffet and pig roast is served family style, just inside the doors of the open-air patio where we were seated for dinner. Here is a photo of the entire buffet table, and below you will find mouth-watering, close-up photos of every item. I loaded up my plate with at least one bite of every single item and it was all amazingly delicious.

Weekend #DIY Project: Patio Bench Makeover

The wooden bench that sits on my front patio was starting to look old and weathered. It was definitely time to give it some attention. I had some leftover stain from our daybed project, so I used up what was left on my bench. I bought a couple of 47 cent paintbrushes at Walmart, so I didn't even have any cleanup!
I propped up the bench on two plastic storage bins in the garage, then gave my bench two coats of Minwax Pecan Gloss Polyshades Stain. Since it's both stain and sealer in one step, the project goes much faster. I did one coat on Saturday and another on Sunday, then carried it back out to my front patio. Each coat took me about one hour. I did absolutely no sanding before staining. The difference is incredible!
I love the new look and now I'm looking for a couple of bright outdoor throw pillows to bring some bling to the patio. What color pillows would you choose?

Shopping for birthday gifts can be a real challenge for me. My sons' birthdays are in November, my daughter's birthday is in December, and my husband's birthday is in January. That means I'm shopping for Christmas gifts and birthday gifts at the same time. Then there's the shopping for birthday gifts for my three sisters, my parents, and his parents. Some of those birthdays fall within the same time frame too. It can become very overwhelming!

Best Buy has online tools to make finding the perfect birthday gift easier than ever. The Best Buy Gift Ideas page is a great place to start.
