What challenges do you face as a […] The post Women of Pasadena: Daisy Jing appeared first on Pasadena Magazine.

Bahama Mama
The Bahamas commands one of the world’s most popular cruise ports, but to know this paradise (including Paradise Island) is to visit at least a few of its roughly 700 islands and cays at a slower pace. Nassau, the country’s vibrant cultural core, offers an abundance of restaurants, nightlife, and shopping. Ask any local, however, and they’ll tell you that nothing exudes escapism more than the Family Islands—the settlements outside of New Providence. Some of the most alluring beaches and island-style nightlife can be found on Harbour Island, a celebrity playground and the former summer home of Lord Dunmore, an 18th century governor of the Bahamas. Meanwhile, the adjacent island of Eleuthera encourages exploration, with its 110 miles of quiet fishing villages, mystical blue holes, and unsullied turquoise coves. Here’s our guide to where to stay and what to do and drink for a spring break that is equal parts adventure, relaxation, and libation. The post Bahama Mama appeared first on Pasadena Magazine.
