Babes,
I don’t know how anyone with a real blown, full adult life blogs anymore. I love it – and yet, it’s been an eternity since I’ve last touched base. Nothing personal! Just got caught up in the planes, trains, automobiles, and *Cowboy Carter concerts* of it all. You understand (I hope)!
Anyway, listen – I have some pretty big news to drop soon that should come with it’s own set of ideas for here.. but while I have you, let’s catch up!

Babes!
With cozy swing in full season, there’s no better time to refresh your at home coffee bar for maximum latte love – and I’m so thrilled to share that I got to collaborate with Rent. to share my best tips on making yours as extra as possible. (As if there’s any other option. 😉)
Check out the entire article in all its glory here: How to Make a Coffee Bar at Home: 7 Essentials for Setting Up the Perfect Home Coffee Station| Rent.
..and after that, let’s catch up with a few more of my autumn must haves, shall we?

It’s taken a while, but let’s brush off the cobwebs around here – shall we?!
Honestly – life is great here. We’ve traveled and celebrated so much this year and I’ve just kinda neglected this space since the fiasco that was renovating our house went haywire. (More on that later. 🙃)
Here’s what I’ve learned while I was away, and what I intend on doing here going forward:
Time flies when you’re in love – and there’s no greater example than me and my baby, Martini. He’s the light of our lives and clearly deserves a full birthday month (just like his mom), so we threw a party!
Here’s the 411 on the best *and* easiest puppy birthday cake and a pooch filled photo recap:
Y’all, living in Atlanta has many perks. The weather. The people. The relative lack of pretension. I could go on forever – and plan to! But NOW we have a CB2 and it’s officially game over for all other cities and we are 1000% *not* sorry about it. Oops!
Let me show you a little sneak peak of the most perfect oasis tucked away in ever-blossoming West Midtown:
(Okay – give me *one* second to be a proud dog mom and declare the obvious. Martini (The Drag Dog™️) is the superstar fur diva of the world and you CANNOT tell me otherwise. This has been a totally unbiased review. 😉)
Anyway, back to the post! Like the title says – I’m officially declaring 2021 as the year of *fun*. Safe, masked, socially distant, blah-blah-blah dystopia compliant fun – but fun no less. More feather boas, more glitter, and so much more more – because as we creep up on a year of this madness, it’s the only shot I have at sanity.
With that in mind, here’s my completely ridiculous bucket list while I wait my turn for vaccination:

Don’t be alarmed – yours truly hasn’t turned into an overnight food blogger.
But seeing as this blog is meant to hold the everyday chronicles of my life, I’d be remiss not to include this mind-blowingly simple and entirely delicious fridge staple that comes together in less than ten minutes.
It’s my hastily written love letter to of all the unbelievable street tacos served with salsa verde cruda (IE: “raw” salsa verde) I so dearly miss in Houston, and it’s pretty much perfect on everything. Vamonos!
I have a not-so-secret confession to make : I am 1000% the girl who’ll look up your birth chart within ten minutes of meeting you, and as such – have learned my fair share about basic astrology in my 20s. (Usually after hours with a martini in hand, but I digress!)
While I usually use this info to help, inquire, or flat out read – today I’m utilizing it for something much more necessary for this bleak ass year : hope.
Am I the only one gooped and gagged that carbs have made the comeback of a lifetime in quarantine?
It makes sense, I guess. It’s cheap, it’s filling, and more than anything.. comforting in a time of mass uncertainty while we watch the world burn/heal/etc. It’s fucking crazy, y’all. But you know what’s crazy.. good? Pasta. Fresh, homemade pasta.
I’m here to show you how quickly and easily this little culinary escape can be yours:
Listen, y’all – we’re in a shithole dumpster fire era that we’ll look back on as our ‘Great Depression”. It’s insanity – I refuse to try and wrap my head around it, and am staying the hell home at all costs unless the end-of-times supply of wine I bought runs out (priorities). This being said, we’ve gotta try and find some joy and normalcy amongst the madness.
Here’s my best tips to do so, chilled glass of Rosé firmly in hand:
