  • Coalition in Raleigh

    Seriously, I can’t say enough good things about what this group is doing in the Triangle (Durham, Raleigh, etc.).

    I don’t think this video is on YouTube, so I can’t embed it, but visit this link and be patient for it to load: http://gallery.mac.com/robertghensley23#100540.

    SO amazing.

    PS – As I was writing this, I found the video on vimeo, posted on the Coalition’s website, UnChainDogs.net.

  • I Think We All…

    …have a bit of rockstar in us.

    This video was sent to me by my sister Mandy:

    And this video, features the other Mandy‘s adorable nephew:

    Adorable.

  • Justin Moore’s “Small Town USA” Free on iTunes This Week!

    I’ve blogged here about Justin Moore before and how much I love that southern twang in this voice, so naturally I was really excited to see this morning in my email that his “Small Town, USA” video is free this week on iTunes!

    Hop on over and download your free video and enjoy!

  • For My Green Thumb Readers…

    I’ve noticed many of you (with blogs that I read… drop me a comment if you’ve been lurking and we haven’t connected yet) have mentioned starting up your own backyard produce farms and/or gardens, so I thought I’d pass along some great tips from yesterday’s Toxic Free NC Spring 2009 email newsletter.


    Organic Gardening from Scratch

    Here are a few tips for starting a new garden from Toxic Free NC and Tom Mekus, owner of Native Elements Landscaping in Raleigh.

    Plan for too little (and too much) water
    Keeping your garden within a hose’s length of an outdoor tap is always a good idea, but it’s also wise to consider installing a rain barrel. Just one-quarter inch of rain onto a 300-square-foot section of roof can yield nearly 50 gallons of water!

    Resources for gardeners
    Free soil testing by the NC Dept. of Agriculture
    Call your County Extension office for more info, or visit http://www.agr.state.nc.us

    All about composting from the NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources www.p2pays.org/compost/

    I thought I’d just pass along some tips that were maintenance related, since many of you have already started (and posted) some of your great results. Be sure to read the full post for some even better all-around tips.

    Want to make your own rain barrel? That’s definitely something I’m going to be tackling this summer… especially after previous summer droughts here in central NC.

    Here are some links with how-to guides:

    From the EPA – Build Your Own Rain Barrel (pdf)
    YouTube – How to Build a Rain Barrel (video)
    YouTube – How to (On the Cheap) (video)    Get creative! Add a screen to keep out leaves, etc., add a monogram (for the particularly preppy garden), whatever floats your boat… knock yourself out. (As pictured above, I’m not above putting a monogram or some cute embellishments on a rain barrel!)

  • A Throwdown of Epic Proportions

    How crazy is it that it’s been almost a year since sweet tea vodka was making its first introductions into the lives of Southerners everywhere? (Albeit, it took quite a bit longer to make it to every county in the closed states.)

    Well it just wouldn’t be summertime without tailgates, cookouts, and days on the water with sweet tea vodka now and it looks as if it’s going to get quite interesting this year. I can’t wait to try some of this myself and see if it lives up to the hype!

    Anyone else had the opportunity to try Firefly’s newest competitor in the sweet tea vodka arena?

    Many thanks to my good friend Tyler for the scoop!

    PS – Maybe I should’ve titled this post “The Sweet Tea Smackdown”?

  • Growing Up is Getting Old

    Want to know what’s kept me so busy lately? Among other things, helping one of my favorite non-profits put together a FANTASTIC event happening here in Raleigh on May 2nd.

    Here’s the scoop:
    Bring the family out to City Limits Saloon on May 2nd as Brittany’s Battle presents “Boots, Bands & Bulls“, a benefit concert with Kevin Lee, Brian Davis and Arista recording artist Jason Michael Carroll, whose new cd, Growing up is Getting Old, comes out on April 28th!

    Gates will open at 1pm, and the show kicks off at 2pm with activities for the whole family and the best country music you’ll find anywhere, so be sure and visit BootsBandsandBulls.com and get your tickets today!

    PS – Holy crap. I almost forgot to thank Tyler for shooting, editing, and producing that video for us! You need video? You need my good friend Tyler who has started his own local company – Red Wire Video!

  • Happy Wednesday!

    I am usually not a fan of national news… until today. Thanks NewRaleigh!

  • Local Rave: Alter Ego Salon

    I’m in love.

    A second story Downtown location (with a view that many would kill for) and prices that make it possible to keep you looking good without having to take out a loan.

    Alter Ego Salon – Mary-Taylor did my recent cut and rocked it out.

    Video courtesy of the Triangle Blvd boys:

    Sign up for their email newsletter (just create an account on their site), that’s how I found out about their January special which snagged me a free manicure with my haircut.

    One of my favorite things about this salon may not have been the cut at all but the fact that they emailed me an appointment reminder that also included my upcoming scheduled events, including bridal updos for a friends wedding. Apparently, they speak my language (email-based and organized) 🙂

  • The Faces of Lung Cancer

    This aired on NBC a while back… a touching story that sheds some light on the (untold) story of lung cancer. You might even recognize Brittany Coppedge as one of the “Faces of Lung Cancer”, if you’re quick!

    There’s no code available to directly embed it, but please click through and give it a watch and spread the word if you can! Ask and you shall receive!

    PS – The video doesn’t show up in Google Reader apparently, so be sure to click through and give it a watch!

  • Holiday TV

    Even though we have a bunch of these on good ol’ VHS (and some of the newer on DVD) at Mom and Dad’s, there’s just something about catching your favorites on TV.

    Many thanks to my Aunt Deborah for this great link to pretty much any and all holiday programming you could want to catch on TV.
