Tax law changes tend to fall into one of two categories: the kind that make headlines — and the kind that quietly change your financial life without you realizing it. Right now, we’re in a moment that’s a bit of both. Here’s what’s worth paying attention to.

Gizem Şalcıgil White has always believed that coffee is more than a drink—it's a doorway. A doorway into culture, into conversation, into the kind of human connection that the modern world too often rushes past. Inside Turkish Coffee Lady, that belief comes to life in every detail, and it's exactly what she set out to build—one cup of coffee at a time.

In an industry that constantly reinvents itself, Debbie Bates-Schrott’s legacy isn’t just the agencies she built or the campaigns she led. It’s the relationships she nurtured, the risks she took that paid off, and the confidence that even when someone tells you it won’t work – you can prove them wrong. And Debbie has done just that.

Let’s be honest: most Easter chocolate just doesn’t taste good—waxy, bland, and carried entirely by cute packaging. Somewhere between sacred indulgence and supermarket shelves, we lowered the bar, and it shows. This season, it’s time to expect more from what’s in your basket.

I think we all need Spring now more than ever. I present to you my “Ode for Spring.” Not entirely a happy painting, as most daffodils express, but an honest reflection of where my heart is this spring. Introspective and thankful for all of life's beauties. Even if they are temporary or unfair.

If you've lived in Alexandria for any amount of time, you already know: this city shows up for its neighbors, for its local businesses, for the people and organizations doing the hard, quiet, essential work that makes this community what it is. That's what Spring2ACTion is all about.

It is so exciting for American Society of Photographers to have our Resonance Collection at Nepenthe Art Gallery! It truly ties together so many things I cherish in life and photography. People creating and growing a community, artists sharing their creativity and a space to share with others — bringing joy and inspiration to our photography world!

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing so many wonderful families, watching their children grow up and become incredible young adults who are already making a difference in the world.

This Saturday, March 14, we are celebrating (almost) 19 years of business! I have always thought about doing an anniversary event—and have even done one or two over the years—but our anniversary is technically in the fall. That time of year is just too busy to add another event. So, we are moving it. Why not? They’re my stores. I can break the rules, right?

Solo travel is having a moment. Nearly 40% of female travelers are planning a solo trip this year, and women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are leading the charge. But here’s what the travel guides don’t always tell you: how you prepare before you leave matters just as much as where you’re going.
