Ouita Michel is an award-winning chef. She owns and runs several local restaurants in the Lexington area (collectively called Holly Hill), and all are unique and interesting. I’ve been on a few Bites of the Bluegrass tours (check out this post to see my experience with the Bites of the Bluegrass Danville tour), and I recently had the pleasure of attending a tour of locations in the Midway and Versailles areas in Kentucky, sampling some Ouita Michel creations – The Just A Few Miles South Culinary Tour. Bites of the Bluegrass is one of my favorite experiences in…
Happy National Pickle Day! November 14 is National Pickle Day, and my little pickle loving heart couldn’t be happier. One pickly think I’ve found that I love is pickle beer. Pickle beer isn’t everyone’s taste. Some people love pickles, some people hate them, and some people are in between. I’m a self-proclaimed pickle queen (check out this post to see the Pickle Festival I attended last year), and absolutely adore pickles. I’ve tried several pickle beers, and will taste every one I can find. I wanted to…

It’s apple season at Eckert’s Orchard, and I headed out over the weekend for some picking. They rotate through a variety of apples throughout the season, and you can pick whatever amount you want. I picked a full bag. I love snacking on apples, but they’re also great in pies. I love baking them in the air fryer for a sweet, yummy side dish that’s so easy. I’m always on the hunt for new recipes to try, so if you have any good ones to share, please let me know…
Ulta is currently having a Fall Haul sale, and there are some really good deals. I thought I’d share some of my recommendations. These are all products that I own/have owned, and love using. Ulta provides affordable options, as well as high end. These are definitely on the affordable side, which is always my preference.

Fresh fruit is one of my favorite things about Summer. If you’ve been here a while, you already know I’m a Fall girl, but fresh fruits and veggies are a huge bonus of the warmer months. Ripe peaches and blackberries are delicious, and I headed out to Eckert’s Orchard in Versailles to pick my own last week. Check out my photos and review of the orchard below, as well as my outfit details at the bottom of this post. The Orchard Eckert’s Orchard has rows and rows of berries and peaches ready…
Summer is here, and the temperatures can’t really decide what they want. On hot days, I want to wear something light and airy. Sometimes I want to get dolled up and look pretty and girly, and a dress is the perfect way to do that. This is the cutest summer dress that’s going to be perfect for the heat. I don’t own much red, but I love the few red items I own. This dress is so pretty, and I love the heart pattern. It makes the dress really fun and girly, and I…
I’ve loved Harry Potter since I was younger. I started reading the books in third grade, right after the first book was released. I’m lucky to have found friends who also love Harry Potter. Every once in a while, we have HP movie nights, and they’re always a favorite of mine. Recently, I went to a movie night at my friend Amanda’s, so I wanted a Slytherin look. Olive is a very popular color right now, and it’s easy to put a Slytherin inspired outfit together. Some links on Kentucky…
I’ve visited Braxton Brewing in Covington a few times, and I’m always happy to return. The rooftop bar has such a great atmosphere, and I love the rooftop views of the area. Their beer is great (the Braxton Labs smoothies are my favorite). When I’m at a brewery, I prefer comfortable clothing, and this brewery outfit is perfect for an afternoon on a rooftop.

I’ve wanted to get more into hiking. As someone who struggles with depression and low Vitamin D levels, being outside is important for my mental health. It’s also great for physical health, and I’m excited to find new areas of Kentucky to explore. I wanted to share my experiences, and some hiking photos for those looking for fun places in Kentucky for adventures. Taking my pup on hiking trips is also something I also want to do more, so I’m including what locations I’ve found are pet friendly, and which…
