Nashville | Doughbird Now Open!

It's a well-known fact that there's no shortage of restaurants in Nashville.Except in one area, Green Hills. While the area has flourished in the last few years with the addition of Cava, Chopt, North Italia, and True Food Kitchen, there are also locations like Zoe's Kitchen and Pei Wei closing their doors. As I drove down Hillsboro Road, I noticed that CPK closed (FINALLY) and renovations were being made to the space.

Nashville | Brunch And Bottomless Mimosas At STK Steakhouse

Since Arnold’s Country Kitchen closed earlier this year, I’ve been at a loss for where to eat. Knowing the number of restaurants in Nashville, that may seem ridiculous to many of you, but Arnold’s was my ride-or-die. I’d go there for a cocktail and grab a quick dinner. Still, most importantly, I’d find myself there on many Saturdays praying that the Nashville bachelorettes and downtown tourists had not depleted the 7-Up Pancake supply.

I Spent $500.00 On The Kroma Wellness Reset And This Happened...

Happy new year, everyone! We survived and made it to 2023!

I don’t know about you, but I am thrilled that the holidays are behind us.

Before you start making a face, hear me out. I love spending time with friends and family and celebrating all the things, but the last few months have been absolutely grueling. Who knew that brunches, happy hours, dinner parties, and nights out on the town could be so exhausting?

It’s hard to believe that in just a few days, we will say goodbye to 2022. It’s been a remarkable year, to say the least.

Recently, I spent some time scrolling through my photos, reliving some of my favorite moments and dishes from 2022. Trust me; there have been a lot ( and yes, the scale agrees.)

The aroma is simply intoxicating; it’s like nothing else you will experience.

Is The Kroma Wellness Reset Worth $500.00?

Am I the epitome of health and wellness? Absolutely not. I do my best to stay hydrated, eat my fair share of fruits and veggies, and exercise when I can. But sometimes, a bottle of wine or chips and queso call my name, and I come running. It’s about balance, right? Since Thanksgiving, I’ve said screw it. Pizza for breakfast? Why not. Cocktailing with my friends five nights a week? Best decision ever. Skillet cookies for dessert? Duh.

Basically, my body went from a temple to a frat house in just a matter of weeks.
