Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season with all the warmth and splendor this time of year has to offer. Happy Holidays!

The Apothecary Café and Wine Bar is the best prescription for a relaxing evening. Located in a small shopping center on Burnet Road in Rosedale, this is a quaint spot to come by for a glass of wine with friends or to stay for a bite to eat. The long bar, nice tables and décor with a little Middle Eastern flair will make you feel comfortable. There’s also an equally comfortable patio, which is also dog-friendly. Come for happy hour, and you’ll always find deals on selected wines and apps to share. (Try the Gouda Chicken Nachos.) Because the dinner menu is seasonal, it changes all the time; however, the high quality remains consistent, and you can always find a good wine to pair with any entrée. Brunch on the weekends is also a tasty option.

Ask any tech enthusiast, and they'll tell you there's nothing better than that fresh-out-of-box, shiny new smartphone. That is, until it a case of "butter fingers" leads to a pesky crack or dinged screen. If you want to prolong the newborn stage on your phone, consider purchasing a screen protector. An inexpensive investment (around $20) that can help prolong the life of your phone, screen protectors are thin pieces of film that repel fingerprints and scratches. Here are five top-rated screen protectors that you can apply yourself at home.
