To say I’m a beauty queen would be an understatement. I am absolutely OBSESSED with all things beauty, which means ULTA is pretty much heaven to me!! Seriously, any time I’m having a bad day, I wander into my nearest Ulta store and seek some solace amongst all my friends… the makeup products, duh! 😀 Anyone else have a dangerous love affair with makeup like that?! (Shhh, don’t tell the hubby!) Continue Reading…
When the menu is wine-friendly, I am THERE. And such is the case with Vino Venue in Dunwoody, GA—it’s a “wine and dine emporium” with all kinds of wine-inspired dishes on the menu and a fine collection of sips that would make any wine-lover “blush.” 😉 We’re talking 50-plus wines to choose from as well as bistro-style cuisine meant for sharing (hello, charcuterie!). They even offer cooking classes for aspiring chefs as well as wine classes for those wanting to step up their sommelier skills. If you’re wondering why I’m bubbling right now, it’s because I recently had the amazing opportunity to get wined AND dined myself at Vino Venue! Continue Reading…
My sweet tooth is tingling… It must be due to the fact that National Ice Cream Sandwich Day is today!! Of course, I never need an excuse to try some new treats, but with this sweet “holiday”, I wanted to try a little something different. Continue Reading…

Sweet summertime is in full force, and nothing makes these carefree days even sweeter than a delicious cocktail. I’m such a sucker when it comes to seasonal sips, so I couldn’t wait to give the brand new Alizé Apple vodka a taste test (OK… maybe more than a taste!). 😉 Continue Reading…
Japan is a dream destination for me. I am so fascinated by their culture, and I’ve always wanted to experience it. Especially when it comes to their cuisine! I mean, their food is so different than ours in America, and how they dine is also special too. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to experience a tatami-style room, and I can’t believe I’m telling you all this, but… I finally got to dine in a real, authentic tatami room!

Disclosure: Mazda USA provided me with a vehicle to test drive, however all opinions are my own.
You know I like to ride in style… and so do my girlfriends! That’s why when I had the opportunity to test drive the gorgeous and spacious 2017 Mazda 6 Grand Touring (MSRP $30,695), I knew I had to take my #bloggerbaes along for the ride. Hey, if you’re going to take a spin around town, you might as well take a few of your fab friends along with you, right? Continue Reading…
When you think of convention food, it’s safe to say that a fine-dining-quality meal is not what comes to mind. And rightfully so. Imagine catering a large event with hundreds of attendees to serve. Sure, the food may be fitting but certainly not memorable or even remotely impressive.
Well, it’s time to change the perception of convention center food. Enter Chef Nick Walker, the culinary genius at Cobb Galleria Centre who’s raising the bar on convention center fare by re-imagining dishes with 5-star renditions inspired by his Georgia roots. Continue Reading…
Fathers are such a special breed. They taught us how to drive, rescued us from creepy bugs in the house, “tried” to keep bad-influence boys at bay… And on game day they conquer the couch and remote control like only a ruler can. 😛
Point blank, fathers are the kings in our lives! Continue Reading…
Do you ever wonder what it would feel like to be on a food competition show? I feel like every time I turn on Food Network, I’m all riled up about all the creative dishes being whipped up.
Well I recently got to fulfill a fun dream of mine—and while I wasn’t on a food show, I sure as heck felt like it! (And that’s all that matters, right?) I recently had the amazing opportunity to learn how to cook some of my absolute favorite seafood dishes with Food Network Star Chef Tregaye Fraser. I, along with my squad, the Atlanta Food & Lifestyle Bloggers Society, got to meet the inspiring Chef Fraser. She won Season 12 of Food Network Star and has been on Guy’s Grocery Games, and her new show, The Kitchen Sink, is starting soon! It was awesome to meet her. Continue Reading…
