And now we are two. Our second birthday here at Dandelion Chandelier is August 1, and to mark the occasion, we’re sharing some of the top-performing posts in our short history. And also some posts that we’re just really proud of, or that were especially fun to write (and, we hope, to read). We’ll be focusing on one topic per day as we count down to our big day. We’ve shared top posts in Travel and Adventure; Food and Drink; and Fashion and Shopping. Next up? Sports and Fitness.

Then one of our team members spent a jolly afternoon at a local farm watching and playing with adorable little kids and goats, and returned convinced that it was a terrific, low-tech and reasonably accessible way to reduce stress and increase our feelings of well-being.

He shared his thoughts after returning from his third stay there. Based on his report, we’re booking our visits right now. It is quite possibly the best luxury health and wellness retreat in the world.
