Bar Taco

  One of my very favorite places to eat is Bar Taco in Nashville. I've been here a number of times and I really crave it when I'm home. During my Mastermind Retreat we all went for Lunch. I got their seasonal watermelon margarita, which was so refreshing. Bar Taco is super casual and basically all a cart style menu. We got table side guacamole for all of us to share and I got a couple of my favorite tacos. Ok- seriously, I'm in Heaven! I could eat Taco (Tex Mex) everyday... YUMMO! Happy Wednesday, we are almost to the weekend. … [Read more...]

Mastermind Retreat

I'm so excited to be in Nashville again for a Mastermind Retreat. The Savvy Business Owners OG's are what we call ourselves. I am truly blessed to be among such amazing women entrepreneurs. We rented a AirBNB and stayed all together in one house. We giggled, laughed and cried together. We spoke about each of our businesses, we helped each other goal set and problem solve. Running a business can be daunting but when you have friends and people who understand what you are going through as a business owner it makes a such a difference. Besides all of the business talk, we enjoyed meals together and toured Nashville. I can hardly wait to see … [Read more...]

Cake Toppers

Wedding season is around the corner and I wanted to share a few wedding cake topper ideas. I love this "best day ever" as well as the "love" on my blog page. I think these cake toppers are too FUN! The pineapple, flamingo, palm tree and cactus are actually Drink stirrers that I sell in my shop, but I use them on top of cakes or even cupcakes for some fun decorations. Cheers BITCHES! Pretty much sums up a Bachelorette Party or a FUN event with Girlfriends. This "diamond" cake topper and "bride to be" are super cute for bridal showers or bachelorette parties. The one thing I love about the acrylic cake toppers is that you … [Read more...]

Prom Dress Shopping

Last year, Ellie's Prom was a dream come true... Ellie was able to purchase her Prom dress by the designer Sherri Hill. Her gown was bold, playful and looked amazing on her. Unfortunately, Oregon doesn't have a dress boutique that sells Sherri Hill. We just landed in Arizona for Spring Break and she really wanted to get here dress for Senior Prom from the same designer.
