    Have you ever had a “skinny” version of a margarita and thought to yourself….this is pretty good, but it would be better with if it were stronger and sweeter (aka the antithesis of “skinny”). Well this skinny recipe is unlike any other and is sure to blow your minds. Raw Stevia (a natural sugar replacement) has become my new favorite cheat ingredient to make all of my favorite high-calorie drinks for less than half of the calories. I can guarantee that if you don’t tell people that it’s a “skinny” margarita, they will never know! Poor some kosher salt on a flat surface and ...

    I’m not what you’d call a fashionista. I usually choose comfort over style, but of course, do my best to look like I dress thoughtfully. In other words, I try my best to avoid looking frumpy. Because no one likes frumpiness. I’ve watched enough Clinton and Stacy on What Not to Wear to know better. However, I recently bought new boots. Cowboy boots to be precise. (That’s a whole post of its own.) And I’m in love. They are super comfortable (now that I’ve broken them in), they give me a little more height, and I can wear them with jeans or with a skirt or dress. Well, I somehow got ...

    Oh the skinny jean. What. A. Dilemma. I got such a good response on my post last year, that I just had to revisit the idea. Let’s just say I never found that coveted pair of jeans. So, let’s be honest. There’s nothing skinny about me. Nor do I have a desire to be “skinny”. Anywhere in the “fit and healthy” spectrum would be great. I’m on the way and have lost 12lbs so far! So YAY. But I digress. There’s this look that I really love. That I want to have. And really? I don’t think it should be so out of reach. I’m always slightly ...

  • Taxes. A four-letter word? Obviously not, but it feels like it. As with any big purchases, taxes will affect your final sales price. Your wedding is no exception. Remember to include your state taxes on projected expenses, such as: invites photography albums/photos dress and tuxes florist venue (we’ll talk more about that…..) Make sure you have a clear estimate from your venue on how much they tax their services and product. For example, some venues here in Evansville, tax their gratuity. So, here is what your final bill will look like: 19% gratuity 6% tax on the final gratuity 7% sales t...

  • Photography Credit: Red Heart Photography (you can see this full wedding here!) Hi Kat, I’ve followed your blog since I got engaged in October and after a week of commiserating on the subject, I have to reach out for help. I am making my gown and all my bridesmaid’s gowns, but we are in a dilemma when it comes to my fiance. The wedding is at a summer camp (very bohemian) and there is to be no hint of tuxedo attire let alone renting anything, and at (skinny) 6′, 145lbs, tattooed, long haired, we are really coming up short with finding anything his size, style, and not ‘traditional’ t...
