Today I ditched the virtual hangouts and left the house. I went to an actual establishment with a real, live human being. We visited a winery, perused the vineyards, found a picnic table in the shade and enjoyed an afternoon snack. Was it worth it? Keep reading to find out! I’ve been playing it…
This post is dedicated to Black businesses, Black entrepreneurs, and Black Creatives. You may have noticed that I took a brief hiatus last week, not because I didn’t drink wine (I certainly did), but because posting something as lighthearted as a wine review felt disingenuous. I was frustrated and angry, as many members of my…
Are you bored in the house? Are you in the house bored? What better way to pass the time than by trying some new wine?! Corona has thrown some serious curveballs, but it’s my hope that you’re finding ways to cope during this time. Originally, I planned to share my recent travels but decided that…
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a wine, maybe it’s because it’s summer and I’ve started wearing less and going out more (yes, those are Drake lyrics)…or maybe it’s because I’ve been drinking less wine. Either way, I’m back and I’m better, and so is this rosé! I’m not sure how I came across…
My friend Kandace and I decided to book a spontaneous trip. After a random flight search, we landed on Cuba. Tickets were reasonably priced and it gave her an opportunity to use the Spanish she’d be studying. So, we booked a trip and a few months later, we were off! Cuba is beautiful and…
Usually, I’m not a huge fan of fall. For me, it’s just a reminder that winter, the season I look forward to the least, is just around the corner. But this year I decided to embrace it—get out and take in the fresh, crisp air before the frigid conditions made their way to the city,…
This week’s foodie adventure takes place at the Parlor, one of Kansas City’s first and only concept kitchens. With three levels, two bars, and seven signature restaurants all under one roof, it’s no wonder this foodie paradise was packed on opening day. Guests can choose to feast on Korean comfort food at Sura, Middle Eastern…
I hope you’ve been enjoying your summer as much as I have! It’s been an eventful season full of new experiences, growth, and clarity. With the evenings a little cooler and the season winding down, I’ve been taking advantage of the outdoors as much as possible. This weekend I visited Powell Gardens, a 970-acre botanical…
Where do I begin? Panama was an experience—from the beaches to the cuisine, the museums, to the nightlife. This spur of the moment girls trip was a blast. Day 1: By now you know I’m a fan of packing light (#CarryonCrew), unfortunately, my friends don’t share the same sentiment, and for that, they paid the…
Last weekend I took a trip to St. Louis, Missouri. Known for its iconic Arch, the city is often referred to as The Gateway to the West. What I discovered, courtesy of Mrs. Cathy Jenkins of Cathy’s Kitchen (another foodie treasure) was a much lesser known hidden gem. Tucked away in a supermarket on the…
