Seven on a Saturday- Seven Reasons to Shop Wisteria Cottage

As I mentioned Thursday in my Currently Loving post, I have a new job.

I was enjoying shopping at Wisteria Cottage, but when they asked if I would be interested in working, I jumped at the chance. And what a fun gig it is! I’ve said it before, but I’m a total girl’s girl and love being surrounded by cute clothes, accessories, and home decor while I’m at work. They do not need me to write this blog post. So many people, locals and interstate travelers, have come in and complemented how great the store is and have enjoyed their visit and purchases. However, I’m sharing this post because I am truly loving the merchandise and the overall experience of working there.  Continue reading “Seven on a Saturday- Seven Reasons to Shop Wisteria Cottage”

Currently Loving- August 2018

From a new job to a new favorite dessert, August has been a pretty good month.

Yes, I got a new job but just a weekend one. I’m still a teacher by day, blogger by night, and now a boutique worker by weekend. My friends, the Colemans, bought Wisteria Cottage and hired me to work on the weekends. It’s right up my alley because it’s a store full of cute and stylish clothes and accessories and then there’s home decor upstairs! Fun Fact: I bought my wedding dress way back in 2010 from Wisteria Cottage and now I get to work there. It’s funny how life comes full circle sometimes.

Tailgate Tuesday- Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos

Who’s tailgating this football season? Or going to game day gatherings?

If that’s you, then you will likely be taking something for the crowd to snack on. I’m sure you’ve got some go-to recipes, but I’m here to offer you some new recipes that have been serving me well for many football seasons past.

Today, I’m sharing a delicious recipe for Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos.

I actually made this one for the first time this year, but they were well-liked, and I feel I could take them again to the same crowd. I first had this recipe while visiting my former neighbors in Louisiana. Megan made them for us, we at them all, then we made them again. They’re that good.

Movie Set Monday- The Good Wife

Are you ready to see the chicest Chicago apartment on television? It’s truly one of the reasons I liked the show so much. I binged The Good Wife a while back and shared an instastory about it on my Instagram. And then just this weekend my sister-in-law told me that she has started watching it! I was so excited for her and told her to buckle up for the ride. It’s a wild one! One thing’s for sure, Alicia’s apartment is pretty spectacular.

If you’ve been around here awhile, you know I have a thing for French doors and built ins. Since this apartment has both, I’m pretty much swooning over this one picture and don’t have to see anything else.  Continue reading “Movie Set Monday- The Good Wife”

Seven on a Saturday- Seven Reasons to Love College Football

HAPPY GAME DAY!

In case you haven’t heard, today is the first Saturday of the college football season. And in case you’re reading this and don’t live in the deep south, it’s kind of a big deal.

At a rainy AU/LSU game. Took me 4 years at Auburn and a move to Baton Rouge to get a photo with Aubie.

I really fell in love with college football when I went to college. Groundbreaking stuff, I know. But it was the first time I was able to purchase season tickets and attend games on the regular, and it was awesome. I never missed a game my freshman year at Auburn, and that just so happened to be the year we went undefeated. It was 2004 and we were SEC champs. We also won the Sugar Bowl that year. It was something I’ll never forget. Continue reading “Seven on a Saturday- Seven Reasons to Love College Football”

I Shave My Face and Maybe You Should Too

Yep, you read that right. I shave my face.

I’ve done some research on the topic and have been seeing women do this since way back in the day when Caroline Manzo was on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She shaves her face everyday. Like, lathers up and shaves her face every single day. I don’t do it like that, but I certainly ain’t knocking it! Because that’s the beauty of beauty.
