The holidays are in full swing, so I wanted to share a holiday recipe my family has loved for as long as I can remember. It’s a tradition in our family to make pineapple raspberry Colored Ice Cubes for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and it’s one of my favorite traditions. They’re refreshing and sweet (and a little tart, which I love). Start by pouring a large can of pineapple juice into a pitcher. Make sure to shake the can well before pouring. Next, add a packet of Raspberry Ice Crystal Light (we use these pitcher…
This post is sponsored by Wendy’s. All words and opinions are my own. Family is so important to me. I was blessed with people I love so much, and I love spendingtime with them. Being an aunt is my favorite thing in the world, and my nieces and nephewalways bring me so much joy. Unfortunately, with all our busy schedules, we don’t always get tospend as much time together as we’d like. Wendy’s breakfast is a great help for us. You canorder ahead in the app, so it’s ready when you arrive at the restaurant…
It’s officially my birthday month, and I’m excited to celebrate all month long. Tons of businesses have birthday deals. I picked up quite a few last year, and can’t wait to score all the freebies this year! Below are the deals I’ve found in the Lexington, KY area, but most corporate businesses do provide the same freebies. *Some businesses may require an app download/account or Rewards Member subscription. A&W – free root beer float Aerie – 25% off Applebee’s – free dessert and appetizer Arby’s…
Earlier this year, I went to a work conference in Chicago. I had a GREAT time. I was a little anxious, but I ended up hanging out with a coworker the entire trip and we ended up being a perfect travel match. I’m sharing what we did – food, drinks, and exploring the city a little. I’d recommend every place we went! Food + Drink Starbucks Chicago is home to the largest Starbucks in the world. It has 5 floors, with a different theme on each floor (I have a photo shown below that lists the floor…
Summer is in full swing. If you’ve been here a while, you know I hate the heat. If you’re new here, hi, hello, I’m Courtney, and I’m a Fall girlie through and through. But we all do what we have to do to survive the summer, and for me, that definitely includes a few fun pool days. Pool days don’t have to be boring, and I love throwing a few pool favorites into a bag and relaxing in the water. These are items I keep around and almost always toss…
I have a few trips planned this year, and that means a bit of packing. I love watching packing videos on Tik Tok, and it’s had me thinking about my travel essentials. These are items I pack almost every single time I travel, or items I think make packing easier and/or more efficient. I thought I’d share those items in case it’s helpful for someone else. If you want to see more of these products in action, or packing videos, tips and tricks, and travel content, check out and follow my Tik Tok…

Lipsticks are one of my favorite makeup items. I love a neutral eye with a pop of color on the lips, or a bold eye look with a neutral lip. I also love a bold eye look with a colorful lip, or a neutral eye look with a neutral lip shade. My friend Priyanka and I (check out her beauty blog here) challenged ourselves in Feburary to share one lippie a day on Tik Tok. It was fun, challenging, and successful, and I thought I’d share them here also. I tried to include multiple brands, formulas, finishes, shades…
I recently attended a blogger event at Lexington Bartending School. We tried a few concoctions, and learned about the school. I posted a reel about the event on my Instagram, but I wanted to do a full post here as well. Plus, I love the pictures for this event, and wanted to share those as well as the videos (and all the yummy cocktail details). We tasted some surprising cocktails that were impressive and delightful, and gained some knowledge about cocktail making. First, let’s talk a little about the school. They tech bartending basics, preparing bartenders for employment…
Galentine’s Day at The Amsden is my favorite Galentine’s Day tradition. I’ve attended every year since they started hosting this event, and it’s always so much fun. This year, a few other local businesses in downtown Versailles also participated in some of the activities, so I’ll include those also. I met up with a couple of my blogger friends to celebrate, and we wandered around downtown exploring some of the local spots. If you want to check out my posts from previous years, the links are at the bottom of…
