Ballet Under The Stars in Lexington, Kentucky

My Mom and I walked down the sidewalk toward Woodland Park. Cars were parked in every inch of available space along the road. I was told that people laid out their blankets and set out their chairs early in the morning for this evening event but I didn’t really understand until we came around the corner. I feel like everyone in Lexington was gathered there in that little park to watch Ballet Under the Stars. A sea of people spread out on blankets and lounging in folding chairs – laughing, talking, eating, waiting to be entertained. And now that I’ve been, I can see why!…

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of attending the loveliest brunch with a group of bloggers here in Lexington! It was seriously like a dream! The Lexington Blogger Brunch event took place at The Barn At Springhouse, a gorgeous venue located at Spring House Gardens out in Nicholasville, KY. They were such gracious hosts and I highly recommend them for your next event – it’s so beautiful out there!

I wanted to make something delicious, guilt free, energy boosting, and refreshing to share with the group since I knew it would be a bit hot out that day! I tried these Funky Monkey Matcha shakes at a friend’s house not long ago and I have been obsessed with them since. Whole Foods Lexington out at The Summit At Fritz Farm was wonderful enough to provide all of the ingredients I needed so I could whip these up for the event! I’ve been learning a bit about all of the health benefits of matcha lately and I’m a little bit blown away by it!…

I got invited to hang out at Frye Lexington for their grand opening event with Bulleit and Houndmouth on Thursday! It was a blast! When I walked into the store I was immediately hit by the wonderful aroma of leather. Ah, I love that smell so much. To celebrate their grand opening Bulleit Frontier Whiskey was there to prepare a selection of bourbon cocktails. My favorite was the Houndmouth (details below) – yes – named after the band that was there to get us dancing! I also indulged in a few appetizer treats that were floating around – puff pastries, sliders, tiny pies! Shopping for amazing shoes + bags all while sipping cocktails, eating delicious food, and dancing to a fun band? Yeah – that is how I would like to shop every day of my life, please.

BurgerFi - Lexington, Kentucky - #BurgerFiSneakPeek

Tuesday night Nate and I got the chance to go check out BurgerFi’s new summer menu items! We met up with a big group of blogger friends to hang out and sample delicious food together. Definitely the kind of pick me up I needed at the beginning of the week! We got to try their Summer BBQ Burger, Onion Rings, Parmesan + Herb French Fries, a new signature lime soda called “Fi Lime”, AND an amazing waffle + berry custard sandwich desert. Yes, it is all as good as it sounds. The new burger is being released this week and I believe the desert will roll out in early July just in time for 4th of July festivities!…
