    “Little Luxuries Are Not Reserved for the Wealthy”

    I’m back after a long hiatus… hi, y’all! 👋

    My purpose with “Everyday Luxe” is to share ideas for living luxe without breaking the bank, so that’s why I love that one of my favorite women’s finance gals, Money with Katie, shared the following quick video this morning sharing research-based hacks for living well every day without busting your budget in the process. 👏

    Two of my personal faves that made the list? Replacing and investing in the textiles you use every day (I’m looking at you, towels!) and committing to cooking and cocktailing or mocktailing with fresh ingredients and enjoying prepping those indulgences with loved ones. 🥂

    Cheers, y’all! Hope to check in again soon…

  • March Madness is Coming!

    Ok, so it’s not here yet… but things sure are heating up on Tobacco Road!

    After doing some fun event research for a postcard at work, I decided that I want to have a March Madness party this year. Either at the townhouse or at Buckhead. I mean, this is NC people… if you can’t enjoy ACC basketball then you have no business being in close proximity to NCSU, UNC, Duke, and Wake Forest all at once.

    I think I’ll make this drink I found on eVite’s March Madness party ideas:

    “Beer and sports are a perfect match, so have a fridge full of brew. But if you want to shoot long for a 3-pointer, try this cocktail with three different rums (one for each point).

    3-Point Basket (Zombie)

    • 1 shot dark rum
    • 1 shot white rum
    • 1 shot gold/spiced rum
    • 1/2 shot apricot brandy
    • 1/2 shot lime juice
    • 1/2 shot pineapple juice
    • a dash of sugar

    Stir and serve.”

    Sounds yummy!
