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…
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…
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…
I like wine, and I hope you do too. To avoid getting stuck in a wine rut, I’ve decided that when I try a new wine, I’ll review it here for you. So really, you’re helping me, help you. Because let’s be honest, who really knows what voluptuous berry flavors and hints of mocha tastes…
Being a foodie and a fitness guru is hard. Luckily, I’m only one of the two, though I do try to maintain a fairly healthy lifestyle. I stick to a pretty regimented meal plan throughout the week (meal prep is my bff) and give myself one day to indulge in some pretty tasty treats. This…
It’s only the second week of January and I’ve already flubbed by skipping my meal prep day, Sunday. I was headed to the office sans lunch, which meant it would be a to-go lunch kind of day. I’d planned on prepping a brown rice taco bowl with shrimp, so I wanted something similar to help…
This evening was filled with two of my favorite things: music and wine—the perfect combination for #Goodvibes. Artist, Love Mae C and her band lulled the audience with covers from the most soulful rendition of Drake’s Hotline Bling I’ve ever heard, to Solange’s Don’t Touch My Hair. Her set was filled with personality and threaded…
