About Camels and Chocolate

Photo: Kristin Luna

"A native Tennessean, Kristin has a visceral love for all things Southern: food, music, bourbon and plenty of road trips across her favorite region—all of which she covers on her travel blog, Camels & Chocolate. Because her job as a journalist involves a huge amount of international travel, too, you'll also find more far-flung escapes—from diving in Borneo to tracking polar bears in the Norwegian Arctic—mixed in with jaunts to Charleston, Louisville, Florida and beyond." —Camels and Chocolate

About FlynnsideOut Productions Blog

"As a practicing interior designer and production designer, Brian Patrick Flynn shares behind-the-scence stories from residential and production design. There's a bunch of everyday jargon which design professionals find routine and mundane; however, to the outside world, it's fascinating, entertaining, and educational. It's all about the side of interior design you don't see: scouts, demolition, prop styling, behind the scenes of photo shoots, the collaborative process, and the insane amount of detail and man hours that it takes to put together a perfectly executed space." —FlynnsideOut Productions
