We love that sweet spot at the tail end of summer when things are still slow and hot, but fall is a brilliant prospect ahead. Take this long weekend to savor the moment.

Labor Day plans and more coming your way... read on!

Ironclad

Coffee Roasters


Another delightful Richmond coffee shop to add to your hit list: Ironclad Coffee Roasters. When better to try than a lazy, long weekend?

This East Grace Street roastery offers specialty grade coffee and a homey atmosphere. The shop carries quite the variety of blends from its dark blend “House of Usher” to “Bare Knuckle” expresso, and everything in between.

Our current obsession though? The sweet potato ham biscuits made by local baker, Lark Baking Co., proudly served at Ironclad. Or do what we did, and order one of everything in the baked goods case. You know, to go with the coffee.

the Soul


Yoga is the ultimate tranquil pastime and the perfect opportunity to hone your mind-body connection.

There are so many fantastic studios in Richmond, but we love a little place on Libbie Avenue by the name of Om On Yoga. The warm instructors, cork floors and soft lighting create a serene environment, the ideal spot for practice. Plus, you can browse their incredible shop after class.

Already a yogi and looking to deepen your practice? Or are you a newbie looking for some peace and quiet? On Sunday, August 26, Humble Haven Yoga will host a Silent Staycation. For five hours, you’ll practice hot yoga, have group meditation, eat dinner and enjoy a sound bath. All. In. Silence. Sounds intriguing, right?
