Cantaloupe and Lime Agua Fresca
One of the best things about summer is definitely all of the fresh produce and seasonal fruit that you can find in so many different places. The grocery store, the farmers market, fruit stands on the side of the road, or even in your own backyard! I also love finding new ways to incorporate them…
Read MoreWhipped Ricotta with Balsamic Tomatoes
I wish I could take all the credit for this recipe but I cannot. My good friend Zach introduced this deliciousness to me on the 4th of July this year, when we visited Rafaldini Vineyards in North Carolina. I watched as he assembled the plate and added it to the table with the rest of…
Read MoreWomen’s Amazon Sunglasses Dupes
I love a good pair of sunnies, but I have a reallllly hard time spending serious money on them. Don’t get me wrong, when it comes to shoes or handbags I can spend like the best of them, but with my sunglasses I just can’t do it. I’m always tossing them in my car or…
Read MoreSummer Boating Playlist
I’ve been a boating fan ever since I was little. I grew up playing on the dock at my Aunt and Uncle’s cottage, catching fish (and turtles!), tubing, and loving when we were able to take their boat out and speed around, especially when I got to sit up front and hit allll the waves!…

Read MorePortuguese Dinner Party Playlist
I’m a firm believer that the right playlist can set the mood and tone for an event. It doesn’t have to be anything complex and the event doesn’t have to be a big one to create a memorable moment. Something as simple as a dinner party is still a perfect opportunity to wow your guests.…

If you missed part one from this Portuguese dinner party, head on over here to grab the recipes for a couple of different appetizers and a yummy little cocktail. I also shared a little bit about what went into the table design and a few things Portugal is known for. But today we’re focusing on…
Read MorePortuguese Dinner Party: Cocktails and Appetizers
This week I’m taking you guys on a trip to Portugal. No, not to the actual country of Portugal, but helping you experience a little taste of what it’s all about through food and drinks (and dessert, of course). Before I moved to Charlotte, I hosted a Portuguese dinner party for a few friends and…
Read MoreSummer Sandals
The 80’s and 90’s were good to me, because they gave me the infamous jelly sandal. I wore those jellies into the ground and had a few different colors. Pink, purple, and my favorite frosty (semi-sheer) gray pair. I lived in those babies from May to September. And apparently I haven’t outgrown my jelly love,…
