    To-Go Cocktails in the Triangle

    Hi, friends! If you haven’t heard yet, Governor Cooper is now allowing to-go cocktails in NC. I don’t know about you but I am excited to have a fancy cocktail at home and to know that this will bring an extra revenue for so many restaurants bars struggling to stay afloat. In this blog post, I rounded up the places throughout the Triangle offering to-go cocktails currently (Tuesday evening). I’ll continue updating this post as I learn of more!

    What I Read Last Month – November 2020

    Hi, friends! Can you believe it’s the last month of 2020? It is wild how quickly 2020 passed by. November was not a super productive reading month for me (I literally read 0 pages from the day of the election until the results were called the following Saturday), but I really enjoyed every book I read this month and I am excited to share my thoughts with you!

    Christmas Board with Sassool

    Hi, friends! Christmas is my favorite holiday of all time, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring you this Christmas Board with Sassool. Like the Thanksgiving Board, I used some of Sassool’s side items as well as the grocery items they carry in the market section. For this board, I ensured I added more colors to make it extra festive. I also challenged myself to get creative with more new-to-me products. Without further ado, let’s jump into all the goodies I got from Sassool to create these Christmas cheese boards!

When I launched my website at the end of 2019, I knew I wanted to write a gift guide featuring small/local businesses, and I have been adding and updating the list throughout 2020.

    Hi, friends! I took a short trip to Charlottesville, Virginia for my birthday weekend a couple of weeks ago. We only stayed one night and didn’t do a WHOLE lot of stuff, but I still wanted to share what we did in case you are looking for a short weekend getaway idea.
