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…
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 saw The Big Dill Pickle Festival on Tik Tok, and thought it looked like so much fun. I’m a big pickle girl (I’m that friend who will always take your extra pickles), so a whole festival dedicated to pickles?! Sign me up! When I found out it was my birthday weekend, I knew it was truly meant to be. I mentioned it to one of my best friends, Hannah, and she said she’d definitely join. So we bought the tickets, and headed out to Baltimore, Maryland over the weekend. What is The Big…
I’ve attended a few personal training sessions at LiveWELL Fitness in downtown Lexington, and have really enjoyed the experience. They recently revamped their ownership, gym space, and overall training program. Co-owner and head trainer Keaton Jones is a Certified Personal Trainer, and my sessions with him have been a great experience that I wanted to share. I love that each session at LiveWELL is customized. You walk in, and there is a warm up and cool down for everyone, but your personal needs are assessed and there is a board detailed with a workout specifically for you…

A friend asked me to take newborn pictures for her. Confession, y’all, I was really nervous. I’ve never taken newborn pictures before, so I definitely had some research to do. But also, I’m not big on babies and children. I’m much better around dogs and other furry creatures. But, I’m always willing to try something new, so I told her yes. The feet were the hardest thing to capture. Babies are wiggle worms! But, we got a couple of great feet shots and I think they turned out so cute…
Raise your hand if you thought the paper you write on was spelled stationary. As a journalism major, I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t know it was stationery. But here we are. Thank you Basic Invite for teaching me the difference! I’ve worked with Basic Invite previously, and I’m excited to partner with them again. They have a great selection of stationery and cards, with almost unlimited colors (seriously, over 180 options to choose from, and each stationery set is customizable), and a large selection of fonts. They even have foil options…
My friend Lindsay (of Bourbon and Lipstick) started a podcast, Influenced the Podcast, with another blogger, Christine. I’ve really been enjoying it, and highly highly recommend it. Their latest topic was expectations on women. They put out a survey asking what expectations women have, and I wanted to discuss some of my thoughts on the questions asked in the survey, specifically the pressures of being single and having children. I’m not going to discuss every question in the survey, just ones that really hit me hard. Things are going to get a little personal in here…
Writing has always been a passion of mine. I started blogging because I missed writing for pleasure. It’s one of the few things I am very passionate about and truly enjoy. I think I’m one of the few people that still really enjoys sending and receiving snail mail. Basic Invite has a really nice line of stationery, which makes snail mail so much more fun. I’ve partnered with them to share some of my favorite stationery options. I love the color selections of their stationery. They offer 180 different color options and 40 different…
It’s Friday! It’s felt like a long week, but it’s almost over! I’m pretty excited about this weekend, so maybe having something to really look forward to has made it drag by. I wanted to share some products that I’ve been loving lately. It’s mostly beauty, because I’ve found some really nice products, but some are “other” favorites. One of my best friends, Rachel, just started selling LipSense. She had a Facebook party before she became a distributer, and I ordered a couple of…
