Bub Bash in Nash

For our summer vacation this year, we chose to spend a long weekend in Nashville, Tenn. I had been dying to visit this city, but Andy took some convincing. Once he was sold on the idea and we booked our travel, I started to explore some things to do in Nash. I had no idea…

Dear Beer, We’ve Come Along Way, Baby!

“I remember by first beer, too.” But actually, I don’t. Do you, really? I was probably… 16? 17? (Sorry, mom!) And I think it was probably the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted. I really preferred hard alcohol at the time… but we drank whatever we could get our hands on back then. By the…

Cooking my way through Pinterest

I love to cook. But it can be a real pain in the butt when you’re exhausted at the end of the day. I’ve been addicted to Pinterest for years now, and I have tons of recipes pinned. But I found that I wasn’t ever actually using them. Instead, I was making the same 15-20…

My Favorites: From the Department Store to the Drug Store

Skin care is not only something I’ve studied, but it’s long time been a hobby and a passion of mine. Over the course of my experience in the industry, going back to 2005, I’ve used tons of products from tons of different companies. I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you, starting with Kate…

Sniffling into Spring

Each year, the powers that be warn us that this allergy season will be the worst one yet. And boy, are they right. If you’re an allergy sufferer like me, you’re struggling. Lucky for you, I’m basically an expert* when it comes to finding ways to minimize the effects of all that pretty stuff floating…

Enough of the bullshit, Stace.

Sorry for the language, you guys, but really. I need to berate myself somewhat publicly, on this blog, so that you all can hold me accountable. And better yet, so I can hold myself accountable. As you may know, I was diagnosed with colitis over the summer. When that first happened, I was so scared….

Why I’m Crazy for Coconut [Oil]

Full disclosure, I don’t even LIKE coconuts. Well, I like the flavor, but not the texture of the actual fruit. But, what I do LOVE, is coconut oil. Andy makes fun of me because it’s almost like I am the father from My Big Fat Greek Wedding with the Windex. Something’s wrong? Put coconut oil…

Beer Review: The Vermont Edition

Andy and I are huge proponents of local breweries. But we have admit: Vermont has got it going on. Disclaimer: We haven’t actually gotten to visit these breweries yet, so these are our “from home” reviews. We are also lucky enough to have a fridge full of some of the best Vermont based beers out…

Skin Care for the Gents

I fancy myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to skin care. I have a pretty decent background in it going back to 2005. So, it’s no surprise that friends and family come to me with questions or looking for tips about their skin. This, of course, includes the men in my life. Mainly, my boyfriend…
