My Life: One Heel After the Other

Shots and Moving

2012-04-27T09:56:00.001-04:00

Please excuse the lack of blogging, while I am trying to move my blog over to Word Press! If you know of any tips, please contact me! Also, if you would like the URL, please leave me a comment (and make sure your email address links back) or email me. For those of you that get my blog by email, I am working on figuring out how to get Word Press posts emailed..

I haven't written a lot about this, but I have to have sinus surgery. My doctor recommended that I be tested for allergies, otherwise the surgery would basically be useless to me. So this week I went and got tested. OH MY WORD. Worst doctor visit ever. I cannot express the amount of itchiness I experienced while NOT being able to scratch! UGH!

I went in yesterday for my results. Turns out I am allergic to trees, grass, and weeds. As in, highly allergic. The doc told me that he hadn't come across someone so allergic to that stuff in a long time. Awesome. It definitely explains why I get sick EVERY time the seasons change. I am also pretty allergic to dust and all things dust related. Apparently I am only mildly allergic to dogs. Awesome. I do believe that the bigger the dog, the more allergic I am. I have noticed that around most big dogs I will scratch a little, whereas around smaller dogs I don't usually scratch.

FML!!! I cannot convey how annoyed I am with my body right now. I couldn't take any meds (Zyrtec, Benedryl, etc) for a full day, until I got my results. Worst day ever. I was crazy moody, and on top of that I had to wait 1.5 hours to get new tires on my car. Awesome.

So the good news is that there's something we can do. I will go in weekly starting May 10th to get shots that will build up my immunity to what I am allergic to. Sounds fun right? I know you're jealous. Pray for me!

Here are some pictures of the shots I had to get..

My back. She stuck me on my back first, and I waited 10 minutes. Based off those results she knew what else to test me for on my arms. She put little blue dots beside each needle prick so she'd know where to look for a reaction.

Upper left arm

lower left arm

lower right arm

upper right arm

upper right arm, the next day. If you look at the circles beside the lines, that shows how allergic I am to whatever she stuck me with. Even today I still have whelps on my arm, and they still itch! This was the only arm that I couldn't wash the marker off of. I had to go in yesterday to see if I developed more of a reaction over 24 hours, and to get my results.

so I had to share how funny it was..

Wow. LOL!

New Makeup

2012-04-19T10:00:00.000-04:00

I went to MAC on Sunday since I had 6 empty MAC containers, I decided to take them in to get my free lipstick. I saw Crosswires on a blog and thought it was so pretty. It's pretty popular because one of the stores was sold out. If you like a little bit of subtle color, you need to try this!

Another sold-out item that I liked was this highlighter in Superb. I feel weird about putting a liquid highlighter on (think Benefit's High Beam) so I knew I wanted to try some form of cream or powder.

How it should look on your skin...(look between the eye and where blush would be applied)

While I was there I tried on a few red lipsticks because I love how red looks on blondes. (Jess) My MAC girl at Lenox inside Bloomingales, Noor, put MAC Red on me. It could be because she lined my lips and overdrew them slightly (on purpose), but I wasn't sold on it. It was too stand-out for me. A friend of mine told me several months ago that a color I loved on her was by Clinique, called Angel Red. She has thin lips, blonde hair and fair skin like me, so I knew I needed to try it.

A few weeks ago I was at MAC with a friend and we decided to stop and see Noor. Brittani (another fav MAC girl - it's bad when I know them personally!) had on this color and I thought it was so pretty. Such a gorgeous color of peach for the Spring and Summer. Every one loved it on me, so I bought it. I love how smooth it goes on, you definitely don't need lip gloss with this one!

Fat Lip

2012-04-18T11:11:00.000-04:00

So, I'm weird because my lips peel daily. IDK why, I've never tried to understand it I guess. Last night I went to BB&B to get some doggy steps for my bed and I peeled one side of my lower lip. Not a big deal, it was nothing out of the norm. I went home, cleaned a little, showered, read a magazine, and got ready for bed. Before I go to bed I put Bert's Bees chapstick on, so I did that and finished reading my magazine. Before I went to sleep I noticed my lips burned a little. I thought they were chapped so I slathered more Bert's on. That was around 9. At 11 I woke up because B needed to go outside. My lip felt funny so when I looked in the mirror and saw this... I freaked out!

Pretty sure that a little monster ate my lip. Luckily when I woke up this morning it was mostly back to normal size! My medical field friends think I had an allergic reaction to something. What, I have NO idea! Just glad it's back to normal!

Bedroom Changes

2012-04-17T08:16:00.000-04:00

Remember my post about getting a new bed? Well I got it!! La Sara and her bf came over Saturday to help me put it together. AKA we supervised and he did it. Here is the end result. Don't mind the beadspread not tucked in, I was in a hurry to get out the door!

Over You

2012-04-16T14:04:00.000-04:00

Sometimes in life we make mistakes. God didn't intend for us to be perfect (or else, well, we would be Him). The point of a mistake is to learn from it so that it doesn't happen again. I think that sometimes it's not that easy. It's not that black and white. Which is pretty rare for me to say, because I am a very "black n white" person.
I blamed S for his lack of communication as my basis for breaking up with him. However, in some ways I did the same thing. Sure we had talks and I told him what was wrong. Is that my fault? His? Did neither of us try hard enough and both ignored the issues? I'm not sure. I think we needed to see each other in person and talk things through, rather than over the phone. It's hard to interpret things over the phone some times. One of the many reasons that long distance sucks.

I talked with S over the weekend. We are both confused but still love each other.. who knows what that means, obviously neither of us do. He explained some things to me, and I did the same. Only time (and lots of praying) will tell.

Last night he sent me this video..

Happy Birthday to my baby, B!

He is 8 years old today. What an old man! He brings so much love and joy to me every day, I cannot imagine my life without him. I need him to live forever. Here are some pictures of him over the 8 years.

Asleep on the car ride, yes he's on the arm rest! haha

Christmas at Grandpa's

I was telling my sister the other day that any time I really didn't want him all up in my space, he was (like when I'm reading a book). Any time I try to hug him and smash him, he acts like he doesn't want me to. Maybe it has something to do with the smashing part?? :)

Taking him to the park tomorrow and getting him a cupcake or a cookie tonight!

OH! I almost forgot.. yesterday I had soup and cornbread from Whole Foods. They sell cornbread by the LB, and I couldn't eat all of it. I decided not to be wastful and take it home. When I got home I put my purse on the floor and went to use the bathroom. My normal routine.

I came out of the bathroom and saw the cornbread that I wrapped in a napkin and taped, out of my purse and him going to town on it. He was so into it, he didn't even budge when I walked near him (something he normally does). ha! lil shit

Beauty Tip: Lip Gloss

2012-04-12T20:48:00.001-04:00

Is your lip gloss poppin? Gloss texture makes things look bigger! No wonder most girls use it. Thanks to Angelina Jolie everyone now is in search for bigger lips.

To achieve this without the pain of an injection use lipgloss. It can be worn alone, over lipstick, or liner. Also it can be worn at any age... even with glitter in it.

When choosing your color match it to your blush and also match the glitter sparkle to the color of jewelry you are wearing that day. Then everyting will just seem seamless! via

One of my favorites is by Too Faced.

Another, cheaper favorite is by Bath & Body Works.

--I'm getting a new bed frame! It happens to be the exact one as my ex's but I don't care. Mine is old as dirt, literally. It was my mom's moms from when she was little. It's just time for a new one. I'm giving mine to my sisters kids. There's nothing more annoying than your bed squeaking every time your 10lb dog moves.

--One other reason I'm getting the bed frame is because I don't have a lot of closet space or space in general in my place. I need to take out my winter coats and shirts and put them into a tub. My current bed is so low to the ground that it wouldn't be possible to fit a tub under there. Hello Spring cleaning!

-- Yes you read that correctly, I said ex. Things honestly hadn't been the same between S and I since our fight about communicating about a month ago. Not sure how far I went into this on my last post, but basically he was stressed out about money...he didn't convey that to me. He actually told me nothing was wrong, and I was left thinking it was ME. Anyway, I was pretty pissed when he finally told me what the problem was. I mean, communication is VERY important. ESPECIALLY when you're 3.5 hours away from each other. I refuse to pull teeth for you to communicate. Not to mention, last week we had 2 fights and hardly talked over the weekend...so Monday when he said we were drifting, I ended things. I had been going back and forth about it for a while, and it just seemed that was the thing to do it.

--Since said breakup, I DO feel like somewhat of a failure. Here I am, and 2 relationships I've been in I thought "he's THE ONE!", and I was wrong BOTH times. Ouch. As one of my friends put it, all you can do is put yourself out there and hope [they] reciprocate. Exactly what I did, but when it doesn't work out like I planned, I definitely felt bummed.

--I have been a reading machine lately! When I finish the books that I've borrowed from a friend, I want to get a Nook, Kindle...or doesn't an iPad have some kind of app I could get? I just don't know which! This is where you tell me the pros and cons to the one you have k? Also, what version.

--I have to have sinus surgery. I can't remember if I blogged about this or not and I'm too lazy to go look. I've always had ENT problems, since I was little. Over the past few months I started having intense sinus pressure in my teeth and migraines. I finally decided to see an ENT. He used some numbing spray and then stuck a tub the length of my arm down each nostril. You can imagine how fun that was. He saw a polyp on my left side, so he gave me scripts for an antibiotic, steroid, 2 nasal sprays, and something to prevent me from getting a yeast infection from all those meds. After that I got a CT scan to show if the meds helped. Basically it was a scan of my sinus cavities. Well, of course it didn't help, because that's my luck. SO! He highly recommended that I have surgery, "the sooner the better". I also have to get allergy testing since I've never had it. I scheduled that for this month. Sinus surgery will be mid June.

Umm I think that's all for now! Other than the thought of "getting back on the market" makes me literally want to vom. This summer should be fun! Sinus surgery... I do plan on traveling some, if I have any days left from time off.

If I Won the Lottery..

2012-04-04T13:00:00.000-04:00

Just about everyone knows that the jackpot for the lottery was massive this past Friday. I saw Katie post what she would do if she won the lottery. I thought it was a fun idea, so I decided to play along too!

Side note: I've never played the lottery. Not because of beliefs or anything, I just didn't grow up with a family that played, so I've never bought a ticket. Besides, I definitely need someone to go in there with me so I don't look like a total idiot when I actually DO play. I will eventually, it's on my bucket list!

In no particular order..

* Buy a Lexus IS F

* While I'm at it, buy a Range Rover Evoque

* Buy a house

* Have a wedding

* Travel abroad - London, Fiji, Bora Bora, France, Ireland, Africa, Greese, Australia, Egypt..

* Go on a massive shopping spree - clothes, bags, jewelry, shoes, makeup..

* Hire a personal trainer so I can look like this:

* Hire a personal chef so I don't have to cook if I don't want to

* Invest

* Help raise money for local charities (and give)

* Start a college fund for my future kids

That's all I can think of for now..

Curve Ball, Part 2

2012-04-04T12:07:00.001-04:00

To catch up read this.

Needless to say, I've been extremely tired from stress (learning as I go, a completely new job that I was trained on superfast, and doing my old one).

To Be Continued...

The Friday of my co-workers last day, we shut the office down early and went out for drinks. I couldn't go all out because I was driving 3.5 hours to go see S.

Prior to even finding out about the job, S and I had a fight. Essentially he was stressed out over money and job stuff, but I ~~had to punch him in the throat~~ had to ask him for a week what was wrong. I could tell he was acting different and I didn't know what to do because I didn't know what the problem was. I thought maybe it was me. Did he not like me anymore? Did he find someone else he liked better? All kinds of questions ran through my head, making me doubt our relationship. When he finally decided to tell me what was bothering him, I ended up getting pissed.

Communication is huge in a relationship. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't have communication, trust and love, you have nothing. I've been in two very long relationships where there was poor communication and I absolutely refuse to do that again. I summed it up for S and told him that if he couldn't communicate with me, we didn't need to be together.

Since that fight, I felt like things hadn't really been the same between us. I had actually told him that I didn't want to come up (the weekend of my co-worker's last day) because he was supposed to have friends in town and I thought he and I needed one-on-one time. I suggested going up the weekend before his friends would be there. We talked and he wanted me to still come that weekend. So after the going away drinks, I went to see him. I was absolutely exhausted when I got there. We had a nice weekend, but I would have honestly much rather been at home relaxing because I was working to the max all that week trying to train. I don't let a lot of things interfere with my sleep, and I hadn't gotten much of it because I knew I had to get what I was going to be doing.

We have definitely been fighting more. Distance is hard. Added stress of a job, and an hour time difference does not help any. Plus if you factor in I've been exhausted and wanted to do nothing but sleep..well that leaves little time for him.

I'm not sure where exactly this puts us in our relationship. Every thing happens for a reason and I truly believe that. Even if you don't know that reason at the time. All I know to do is to pray about everything and know that in time, the Plan will be revealed...

Lots of new things have been going on with me. I'm sure some of you noticed that I hadn't posted in a while.

About 2 weeks ago my co-worker, who was the Office Manager, that had been here 9 years, put in her notice. Her notice that she was going to work a week and a half and she was taking another job. After that, everything kind of came crashing down.

One of my bosses approached me and asked me if I knew how to deposit checks (something that he knew I didn't know how to do - it wasn't part of my job). The co-worker that was giving her notice was in with the other boss with the door shut when I got into the office. I caught on quick and asked the other boss why he was asking me. He pulled me into his office and told me that she had give her week and a half notice. I was shocked. After all, the company has been around 10 years, and she's been with them for 9. We quickly brain stormed as to what she knew how to do.. She was our IT person (to an extent), Office Manager, A/R and A/P person, etc. Basically, she ran this mother.

All the events are running together and I can't remember if this is correct, but I believe that my boss basically asked me right there if I wanted the position. Of course I was given time to think about it, but that was a major curve ball. I had actually been planning to start looking for jobs in Nashville, to be with S. I had some decisions to make, and I needed to make them fast. I prayed about it a lot (in the little time I had) and I ultimately decided to take it. After all, I love the firm I work for and get along with everyone (for the most part..everyone has those days). I decided that it was a huge stepping stone for me and my future.

Training me on how to do her many jobs started immediately. Even if I decided I wasn't going to take the position, they still needed someone to be able to make the office run until they found a replacement. I stayed one night until 10:30 with her, and the next till 9:30, and then on her last day, I came in 45 minutes early. Luckily she created a manual for me to follow with directions on how to run things.

My first day was last Monday. I was determined to make it all run smoothly. Towards the end of the day, I started getting frustrated and ended up getting teary because I just wasn't getting something. I'm sure you've been there at one point. My boss was very understanding and told me he didn't want me coming in all stressed out and that I wasn't going to "get it" in one day. I knew that of course, but I was SO determined...

It's definitely not been a piece of cake. I'm doing two jobs until they find a replacement for my old job. They interviewed a few people, but one of the girls we all really liked took another job (before we could even offer it to her!).

Needless to say, I've been extremely tired from stress (learning as I go, a completely new job that I was trained on superfast, and doing my old one).

Hair

2012-04-03T15:01:00.001-04:00

After seeing this post on the clipless curling iron, I decided I needed to try it out. I drove to my near by Ulta and searched for clipless irons that were thick, because the thicker the barrel, the better. TWSS!

This is how Julia's hair turned out using the Jose Eber 25mm clipless iron..

Just somewhat wavy. I used the iron the way Julia did in the video, which could have been a mistake for a first time user? I should have possibly used the little glove that came with the iron. In any case, I wasn't to thrilled with the results. Maybe its because I have some short layers? I didn't dig the small layer ends sticking out all over the place. Plus lets be honest, my hair looks nothing like hers.

The next day I decided to use my trusty Conair 1".

Much better, no? What are your thoughts? What type of curling iron do you use?

I didn't really want to blow $150 on a curling iron, so I settled for the Sedu Revolution 1". This is how my hair turned out..

Last week I checked my email and I had this notification from Yelp..

Seriously?!

I found this on Pinterest..

I had the following convo with La Sara on Friday..

Then she sent this..

About 2 hours later she texts me saying he is already annoying her. haha! I can always count on her for a laugh.

You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet.

2012-03-16T11:14:00.001-04:00

If you don't know what movie that's from, I'm not sure we can be friends.

So lets talk about shoes! Specifically, cheap shoes! I know you all love Target as much as I do. It seems like I am always searching for cheap black patent shoes for work. They carried these last year and I bought them in black. They are SO comfortable. I was so happy to see that they had them back in stock this year! They are called Pearce and they have: black, red, beige, beach, and navy! Shoes are what, anywhere from $40+? I figure at $30 each, you can't beat that! I seriously wear one pair a day, mostly beige or black.

Run to Target to get some! They usually sell out quick.

While I was in there the other day, a friend of mine and I decided to try on every shoe they had.

How cute are these?! They also have them in navy.

At first I didn't like these, but I think paired with the right outfit they would be cute! Super comfy.

I need these! Love them!

I also need these! Every girl needs a good solid wedge for Spring/Summer.

Spanx's Rise to the Top

2012-03-09T12:35:00.001-05:00

I have a great story for you ladies today! ATLian Sara Blakely's rise to a billionaire.

One night, Sara Blakely cut off the bottom off her pantyhose and the idea of Spanx was born. Armed with $5,000 in savings, Blakely researched and wrote her patent for footless pantyhose and drove around North Carolina begging mill owners to make her product. Most told her it would never sell, but one owner decided to take a chance and help her make her “crazy idea.” Now, the Atlanta girl is on the cover of Forbes magazine at the age of 41 as the youngest female self-made billionaire…just for reinventing the girdle.

Blakely has strong views about her wealth. “I feel like money makes you more of who you already are,” she says. “If you’re an asshole, you become a bigger asshole. If you’re nice, you become nicer. Money is fun to make, fun to spend and fun to give away.”

Dreams

2012-03-08T17:04:00.002-05:00

As I was going to sleep last night, I suddenly remembered that I had a dream about being topless the other night. I was trying to find something to cover up with because I was going white water rafting, and well, you can't do that topless. That wouldn't be fun. Isn't it funny how you will remember your dreams at the most random times? I quickly emailed myself to remember to look up the meaning of the dream.

I totally believe that subconsciously the problems and emotions that you are going through at that particualr time, come out in the form of your dreams. I think that sometimes we just have totally meaningless dreams though. So I looked up my "topless" and "raft" dream here and this is what it said.

Topless

To dream that you are topless signifies your way of showing and exhibiting love. You may be inviting love toward your direction. *Please See Also Dream Moods' Common Dreams: Naked.

Raft

To see a raft in your dream indicates that you have not built a firm foundation for success. There is still much work ahead.

To dream that you are floating on a raft suggests that you are drifting through life, not knowing where you are headed. You are confused about your purpose and direction in life.

To dream that you are white water rafting means that you are experiencing some turbulent times.

Crazy right?! I was floating in the dream, but I was also wwr. And both of those meanings are true!

Beauty Tip: Foundation and Tinted Moisturizer

2012-03-02T08:22:00.000-05:00

I hope yall liked Miss KP's post from yesterday!!

Summer is coming and so is a darker skin shade for you! Don't look pasty by using your winter shade of foundation all summer long! Get a shade that is a little bit darker than you are right now and mix with your winter color! Doing so will give you your Spring color for foundation. As Summer gets closer and closer just mix in less of your winter shade! via

You can also try tinted moisturizer which is like foundation but less heavy. If you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them! I usually say I like to wear a "face" on my face. ;) I'm a light skinned girl, so I want to make my skin tone even! I've heard good things about these two.

Laura Mercier

Too Faced

Another tip is that if you don't know what foundation you need and you want to try out a MAC foundation, ask for a sample and they will give you one!

Have a great weekend!

A Kentucky Girl's Favs

2012-03-01T09:28:00.000-05:00

Hey y'all!

the gorgeous Miss V asked me to guest blog for her today so

my apologies that you can't have her today, thus being stuck with

MOI!

For those of you who don't know me:

I am the author of The Kentucky Priss

If you prefer the recipe/crafty/ I read this great book kinda blog/ Lilly Lilly Lilly that looks like mint green and pink just threw up all over your computer monitor- then I can assure you, my blog won't be your fav!

But if you like a blog that talks about REAL LIFE/I am a hot mess/did that REALLY just happen?

Then I might make your top 100.

That being said, what should you know about me?

How about 5 basics?

- I clearly love a car bar {as you can see from my picture}

Very legal.

{my northern friends tell me it's called "road soadies" for you northerners, but if you're southern, like myself- then you totally understand what I just said.

- I am a fur momma to a sweeet little yorkie named Daisy May

- My blood is Kentucky Blue

- Sparkling white wine/ Makers STRAIGHT ...if you please

{hey, I'm a Kentucky girl, LAND of the bourbon, it's how I was raised}

- I am pretty doggone funny....

I was SUPER excited when V asked me to guest blog for her!

It was kind of love. LUV. lurve at first e-mail...

If I told you all the things we have in common

like how we even have the same occupation, we would be here all day...

but no joke, it's legit how we are kind of the same person....our dogs are even dating...

Daisy hates the long distance and misses "Mr. B", {short for Bentley} everyday that ends in "y"

No inter-breeding couple here, no sir

Yes, they are both yorkies....

Daisy May Bentley

Since we're on the topic of "my favorite things"

I thought it would be fun to go over an updated list of things that I am obsessing over!

I thought I would cover some of my favorite things:

makeup, clothes, scents, and adult bevs

1. Staples in makeup:

I LOVE a good blood red lipstick.

I know what you red virgins are thinking and believe me, I was skeptical at first too, until I tried it!

My favorite cheap- still gets the job done- go to:

Revlon's: Certainly Red

Obsessed with this color and you can find it at your local Wally world, Tar-Jay, or other drug stores that carry Revlon products.

Try it!

I am also pretty obsessed with white eyeliner around the lower inside bottom of the eyelids

It REALLY makes any eye color pop and just makes you look alert!

Co-workers have grown accustomed to me wearing this that when I DON'T add it to the morning routine, they now ask me if I am feeling ok hah!

I started out using MAC's pencil white eyeliner {they tell me they can't keep it in stock}

however, I honestly don't like the texture of it...and bought a cheapy white pencil at my local CVS and LOVE it alot more! AND you save about $15 bucks!

A dolla makes me holla honey boo-boo!!

So ladies, make those lips and eyes pop!!

I think those are 2 essential makeup go-to's anyhow!!

2. What could I spent ALL of my money on for my summer wardrobe?

Jumpsuits!

No explanation needed - they're just plain cute

I prefer the more dramatic looking ones

a low back, a huge wide leg, etc, etc

I recently bought the blue one.

3. What do I have my nose in?

The Message/The Remix by Eugene Peterson

I love. LOVE. Lurve. this bible! I began to tire of going to church every morning and not being able to

fully pay attention/grasp the sermon because I couldn't really get a feel of what was being discussed due

to the wording in my bible....I think we've all been there?

That is until I came across this little gem at my local Borders book store.

It's fabulous!

It has contemporary wording and it makes it fun to read and easier to digest...

I encourage you all to go out and purchase this bible, I promise that you will love it as much as I do...

a Pro? Other than it being the Holy word?

It is such a fun size {and it's pink, it also comes in a lavender} that I can tote it in my briefcase for work

and even carry it in my LV :)

Do yourself a favor and look into this it has received fabulous reviews

4. What do I use to smell all secksi?

My favorite scented lotion and perfume

I am obsessed with this little combo

I am not a florally or fruity scent type of girl....I like the harder stuff :)

I often get asked what I wear, so here it is folks!

I take Twilight Woods lotion {Bath & Body Works} and then mix it with my signature go-to perfume, Coco Chanel Mademoiselle

The combo smells fabulous together.

5. Care for a drink?

Being single and going out with your girlfriends is quite interesting...

I have found, when you go to the bar to order there is usually always a guy lurking that would like to buy you a drink {who are we to deny?} I love they always want to buy you a "lemon drop" shot {which don't get me wrong are pretty good} or some kind of drink that ends in "tini" ....

but hey, if you're asking what I care to drink....

I recently went out with a group of girlfriends and this exact incident happened....all the girls did accept the fruit cocktails but I denied....the group of gentleman then started passing around shots of Makers

{NOW, we're talking}

and jokingly asked us girls who was interested in taking one with them after a buddy of theirs tapped out

All the girls made the "blech face" but me?

Pass that stuff down, boys!

I had that shot downed before they did....

They immediately asked where I was from....

Oh yeah, I failed to mention this happened when I was out of state....

I replied with, LAND of the MAKERS....not just Kentucky but the Bourbon LAND :)

Being a born and bred southern girl I am very set in my ways when it comes to the adult bev.

I never liked the fruity mixed cocktails {gasp, I know}

No margs for this girl, blech! Just way too sweet for me....

No, I am either a bourbon girl or white wine if you please {I don't even like beer}

I like to call these the classier cocktails haha

Being a Kentucky girl, if I didn't tell you that Makers Mark is the ONLY way to go then you would have every right to tell me that I am an impersonator and not the real KY deal here.

So do yourself and stay away from that Jim Beam....Makers Mark is the only way to go peeps!

It's Kentucky Straight Bourbon

I actually bought these and threw in as gifts for girlfriends last year for a Kentucky theme!

If you know me, I am ALL about some Kentucky....duh.

Last year, I stumbled upon a new love.....no not my soul mate...

but a different kind....

One of my best friends travels a lot for work and bought me a bottle of her favorite wine from J Vineyard & Winery from Healdsburg, CA...

Pretty partial to my Cupcake Vineyards {which you should ALSO try}

I thought, I'll try it.....

I have became HOOKED on this wine!! It is by far the BEST wine to ever cross my lips!

Please do yourselves a fav and buy a bottle of Brut Rose {it's a sparkling white}

but make sure you have a buddy to share this with....I'm. Just. Sayin!

You will not be disappointed.

This wine has become my favorite! It's yummy!
And the bottle is pretty cute TOO!
Composed of 64% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, and 2% Pinot Meunier, it is aged for nearly three years before release. Residual sugar is 1.15%.

Downfall: They don't deliver to Kentucky......
BOGUS

I hope you enjoyed some of my favs!
I could go on and on as it seems my life consists of one big list now-a-days!

I would LOVE to have you!!
