My Bachelorette Party!

5/31/2015

Ok everyone, today's post is super fun, because it's all about my Bachelorette Party!!!
We had a complete blast, and I'm SO thankful for all my girlies who made it such an unforgettable night! A special thank you to my wonderful Maid of Honor and little sister, who planned the entire night, bought all the phallic shaped accessories, and paid for the majority of the night!!!

Our night started out at the beautiful Perennial Vineyards of Brewster, Ohio.

We ate fancy and delicious foods, drank wine (of course), I opened my naughty gifts, and we ate this great cake that my sister came up with, made by Katy's Kreations.

Our next activity of the night was belly dancing!!!
My sister thought of, and paid for this wonderful idea, and it was a blast!!!

Our lesson was given by the beautiful Mariah from Belly Dance by Mariah Studio in downtown Canton.
If you want a fun workout, that actually works (and is super sexy!), try belly dancing!

Next we walked around downtown Canton'sFirst Friday. The first Friday of the month (duh!), the art district comes alive in Canton! All the restaurants, art galleries, shops, and bars are open, artists tout their wares, musicians perform on the street, and you can just walk around and take it all in!

We happened to randomly find this snapchat that a friend of a friend of one of the girls with us happened to receive, so she forwarded it on to us! Yes!!!

In one of the galleries!

After it had gotten dark, and we had walked around for a while, we wandered into Buzzbin, the small bar that by the end of the night everyone tends to gravitate towards. It has lots of drinks, a pinball machine, records on the wall, and live music (I actually played here a couple years ago when my band was together)! We happened to snag the only corner booth in the place, and commenced with the drinking, giggling, and later in the night, dancing along to the bands!

The final (and super groovy) band of the night; Injecting Strangers. These guys put on such a great show! We really enjoyed it!

Hanging out with the band after the show!

I hope you enjoyed getting a little sneak peek into my Bachelorette Evening!
Thank you so much for joining me!!!

Oh!
And my wedding is in 6 days!!!!!!!

Peace Love and My Bachelorette Party!

Well everyone, it is finally here; one week until I am a married woman!!!
Yes, I am excited!
Yes, I am nervous (every time someone brings it up, I feel like I'm going to vomit!)!
Yes, I am super stressed out (if one more vendor pisses me off, I might attack them)!
and
Yes, I am SO ready for it to be here so I don't have to do any more planning, meetings, and creative last-minute problem solving for this gosh-darn wedding!!!!

As you can see, my room has been completely taken over by wedding paraphernalia, and as you can see from the second picture, my corkboard is also in full wedding mode!

So wish me good luck! I'll be posting one more article on here before my wedding, it's going to be all about my Bachelorette Party!
Then after that the next time I talk to all you will be after the wedding!!!

A Bright Sunny Day Calls for...Dairy-Free Ice Cream!

5/15/2015

Hehe you can tell I'm super excited and ready to be eating that ice cream cone!

Ok, I know in the picture I'm wearing a coat and it looks slightly chilly, but in Ohio, any kind of sunshine calls for a celebration!
So to celebrate today's bursts of warmth, me and the fiance (so weird to think that in a couple weeks that title will change!) went to "Just Ice Cream and a Bit More", a newly opened Ice Cream Shop in the town of Brewster, just a couple minutes from my parent's house.

"JIC" was absolutely adorable! It is located in a tiny little shop right off the main road in Brewster. The inside has mint green walls, and a huge chalkboard menu!

The building that it's in, is the one building every town has that no matter what business goes in there, it always seems to fail. So there's just a string of random stores that are constantly rotating in and out of it for years, until finally, some random business comes along, wildly succeeds, and puts an end to it!
Well, I have a good feeling that "JIC" will be that business!

One of the main reasons I wanted to visit "JIC" was because I had heard that they carried dairy-free ice cream! I'm lactose intolerant, so going on outings with friends and family to dariettes and ice cream shops has always been a bit painful and awkward for me, always having to ask the clerk lamely, "I know that this is a dairy-ette, but do you have anything here that isn't dairy", and usually ending up just drinking water or some juice.
So anyways! Hearing that a local ice cream parlor was carrying dairy-free ice cream, I just had to check it out! And I was not disappointed! I don't know how they did it, but that vanilla ice cream (they have a second flavor of dairy free ice cream that rotates in and out also) tasted as smooth, creamy and flavorful as any ice cream you could ever eat! I was so shocked and overjoyed! The day had finally come!!!

My dairy free ice cream cone, with sprinkles!

Needless to say, we had a great time, and I was so happy (finally) eating ice cream!!! After we were done, we got a cone to go, and at home gave it to our pups!

*WARNING! The pictures you are about to see, are of puppies eating an ice cream cone. It might be too adorable! If you have a heart condition, you might not want to look!* :D

See what did I tell you? Too cute!

So as you can tell, we had a great day. I hope you enjoyed the pictures, and if you would like to visit "Just Ice Cream and a bit more", here is their info!

Palm Breeze: Vacay Every Day!

5/7/2015

0 Comments

Palm Breeze is a flavored malt beverage, which basically means it’s an alcoholic drink made with a malt base, kind of like beer. And the cool part is that it’s the first drink that is unabashedly targeting women! It comes in two tropical flavors, Ruby Red Citrus and Pineapple Mandarin Orange. Yum! I got the Ruby Red Citrus flavor!

Hello readers! Today I want to tell you a little bit about; Palm Breeze Sparkling Alcohol Spritz!

When I first heard Palm Breeze's slogan, "Vacay Every Day", I knew I had to try it! I love fruity girly drinks, I love summer, and I looove vacationing! It was just meant to be! I was a bit worried that it'd be hard to find, being that I live in a small town, but I went into the local gas station, and there it was!

Me when I found Palm Breeze in the local gas station! Super excited!

I had my Bridal Shower on a beautifully sunny Saturday afternoon. The sun couldn't have been brighter, the gentle breeze that blew through couldn't have been more complementing to the sun, the gifts couldn't have been any more thoughtful, and the drinks couldn't have been more cool and refreshing!
It was a summery/deck party/tropical/fruit/big hat theme! So Palm Breeze fit in perfectly!

I didn't get to eat or drink a lot during the course of the shower, as I was always either opening gifts, greeting guests, saying farewell to guests (we had an open house type of shower. It made it much more low key and easy to talk to everyone, but man was I busy), or talking to my many guests.
So after everyone left save a few that stayed to help clean up, I finally got to eat a little, and try for myself, a can of Palm Breeze Sparkling Alcohol Spritz!

Me with Palm Breeze, and the remnants of my shower

Holy! Moly! I definitely was not expecting the rush of flavor that I experienced during my first sip! This is not your typical floofy girly drink! It definitely had a fruity delicious taste, but because it's a malt beverage, it wasn't overbearingly sweet! SO excited! I even had my brother (who is an adamant beer drinker) try a sip! He was hesitant, because he thought it would be too sweet, but he drank two cans!
I of course had to share with everyone who helped clean up also, and everyone was amazed at the flavor!
I've never tasted anything like it; it was fizzy like pop, smooth and rich like beer, and fruity like fruit juice!!! Crazy right?! Well that's as best as I can describe it, you're just going to have to go pick up a case, and see for yourself!!!

So suffice it to say, I have most definitely found my Signature 2015 Summer Beverage! Yay!
Be sure to go out and buy a case so you can join in all the fun, and check out their website too!

And right now I'm really wishing that I lived in either California, DC, or Texas so I could attend the Girl's Night Out Event, hosted by Palm Breeze and Blo Blow Dry Bar! If you're from any of those places, or will be anywhere near there, I would check it out! Here's the links to all events!
