Go Away Sweatshirt // Galentine’s Day Outfit

Galentine’s Day is Saturday, and Valentine’s Day is Sunday. If you’re a single pringle like me (or an introvert who just wants people to go away on a regular basis), no worries! You can still have fun and enjoy the holidays (especially Galentine’s Day – just make it all about your girls)! I found a fun sweatshirt that’ll be perfect for this weekend (and nice and warm)! The Outfit I love personalized things. This sweatshirt had “Go Away” as a suggested saying, and I thought it was hilarious…

Murderino Shirt + Red Skirt // Rackhouse Tavern at the Campbell House

Any other Murderinos out there? I’ve always loved true crime, and recently discovered the podcast “My Favorite Murder.” This tee is inspired by the podcast, and is so cute! “Stay Sexy, Don’t Get Murdered” is one of their catchphrases (they even have a book with this title available now). I love pairing a graphic tee with a skirt. I wore this outfit to a girls’ night dinner at The Rackhouse Tavern at The Campbell House (see the bottom of this post for photos of the delicious meal), and thought it was…

My Dairy Free Favorites

For 2020, I didn’t do resolutions. I set a few small goals, some for months and some for the year. One goal I had for January was to cut out dairy 3 days a week. I haven’t been diagnosed as being lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy, but I have talked to my doctor about it and cut out dairy in the past and can tell a difference when I cut out dairy. So, I wanted to share some of my favorite dairy substitutions that I found in January. Dairy Free Smoked Gouda Style Slices These…

Sleepy Hollow Outfit + My Favorite (On Theme) Pumpkin Beer

Is it clear by now that I love Halloween? If not, let this post sum that up. The Headless Horseman has always been fascinating to me. I went to Sleepy Hollow in 2012 and it’s one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited (you’ll find me there next year the week of Halloween). I love everything to do with Sleepy Hollow. So, of course, I found the perfect outfit that fits the Headless Horseman theme. This shirt has been around a while, and I love it. Character names in this form have been trending…

Summer Pasta Salad Recipe

Summer is here, and that means picnics and bonfires and cookouts. With the 4th being this week, plenty of cookouts are coming. If you’re looking for an easy recipe that’s absolutely delicious, check out this pasta salad! First, cook the pasta per the directions on the box and let it completely cool. I used tricolor rotini, but you can use any kind of pasta. Next, add Italian dressing and Ranch dressing, as well as a can of diced tomatoes. Next, cut Pepperoni into pieces. You can add as many or as few as you’d…

Galentine’s Day at The Amsden // Galentine’s Day Outfit

Yesterday, I attended a Galentine’s Day at The Amsden in Versailles, KY. It was so much fun! I met Emily, the owner, through blogging. Her shop is so cute already, and this event was so gorgeous! They served up fun Galentine’s Day treats, including funfetti donuts and cake pops. The drink specials were amazing and adorable. I went with my friend Casey, and we each tried something different. She tried the donut and the Valentine’s Day hot chocolate, and I tried the Love You Latte and the cake pop. I was NOT disappointed (to…

Harkness Edwards Halloween Party

I’ve been to Harkness Edwards Vineyards in Winchester a few times now, and I fall in love with it every time I’m there. It’s the cutest little place with a great view and delicious wine, and the owners are so warm and friendly. They reached out to me to ask if I wanted to help host a Halloween party at the vineyard, and my heart jumped for joy. I invited a few influencers and close friends, and we had a blast trying out the wines and taking pictures. Whole Foods provided food for snacks…

Poolside Peach Prosecco Punch

Okay, so this punch isn’t really made with Prosecco. It’s made with Moscato. You can use Prosecco if that’s your preference! It just has a better ring to it. I bought some peaches on sale, and was trying to think of ways to use them. I love the idea of making them into a yummy summer drink that’s perfect for a poolside delight. I also prefer Moscato because it keeps the drink sweet (which I love). I made this drink for Memorial Day, and again when I went to the pool with…

Horse Cupcakes with Bourbon Icing // Derby Collab

Kentucky is most famous for two things: horses and bourbon. The Kentucky Derby is in a little over a week, and I wanted to share a really fun recipe that combines these two things: Horse Cupcakes with Bourbon Icing. It’s the perfect (and cutest) treat to take to Derby parties, or to just enjoy by yourself. I wouldn’t suggest taking these to work parties, unless alcohol is acceptable at your workplace (it isn’t at mine). I’ve teamed up with other local bloggers to share Derby inspired posts, from outfits to recipes and…

The Simple Greek

*This post is sponsored by The Simple Greek. I was given the meals for free in exchange for my review, but was not compensated in any other way. A couple of weeks ago, The Simple Greek saw my 30 Lexington Restaurants before 30 post and invited me out to sample some of their menu items (their words, remember this). I love Greek food, and I’d seen some friends (mostly, Kelsey from Kabkitchen) post about The Simple Greek once it opened, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. The menu starts with two options…
