Charleston & Middleton Place

July 6, 2018 by Karen Filed Under: History, Restaurant / Food Reviews, Travel 2 Comments

Charleston & Middleton Place

My husband and I recently went on a quick 48-hour trip to Charleston (Summerville), SC for a family funeral. While we were there we had a little bit of time to sight see. It had been 15 years since our last trip to Charleston which I've decided is WAY TOO LONG. I love this town with every fiber … [Read more...]

Swimwear Police

Swimwear Police

We are heading into summer now so swimsuit season is upon us. We have the luxury of being able to wear anything we want to (even if we sometimes shouldn't) on the beach and at the pool. It wasn't always this way and I know you have seen photos of old "swimming costumes." The photo above is from … [Read more...]

1920s Petting Parties!!

The NPR History Department recently posted an article about petting parties of the 1920s. Have you ever heard of such a thing? These two couples look like a lot of fun! This generation was poised to break free from their parent's generation and let loose the uptight morals and experiment. I don't … [Read more...]

I got them at @costco for $20 a few months ago but they are on sale through Christmas for $10. Can you believe that? I'm probably going to buy another set at that price. I've got them in the gray floral but they come in solid as well. They wash up great with no wrinkles. Crisp and soft at the same time. Thick. It comes with an extra set of pillowcases too! https://wellreadsoutherner.com/bedsheets #costco #bedsheets

Instagram post 2163579519280880213_1721136150 Hi! I'm Karen and I'm an addict.⠀
⠀
It was time to clean out the makeup bag today and it became glaringly apparent I have a problem with lipstick. I haven't even bought this years holiday lip items from @beautycounter yet. Everything here is Beautycounter except for five. Four of them aren't clean makeup but Beautycounter has nothing like these colors at all so I can't quit using them.⠀
⠀
-@MaryKayUS Lip Gloss/Stain in Mulberry Forest (It has the longest wearing stain+gloss I've ever seen. It's a deep magenta color that I constantly get complimented on when I wear it.)⠀
-@rmsbeauty Lipstick in Brain Teaser (a peachy mauve - RMS is a clean brand and I LOVE their concealer)⠀
-@Aveda Morello Lipstick (a deep brick red)⠀
-@katvondbeauty Lipstick in Gothica (a shimmery bronze copper)⠀
-@lorealmakeup Lipstick in Cinnamon Toast (my favorite autumn lip color that I get a ton of compliments on it as well when I wear it). ⠀

Instagram post 2163445943893958862_1721136150 My favorite nail polish color especially for Autumn. It’s @covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant and they stopped making it. I bought 2 bottles but I’m halfway through the 2nd one. Label is gone so I don’t know the color. I’m going to be sad when it’s empty. It’s a great coppery bronze with extremely fine glitter in it so it’s super shiny without being obnoxious like some glitter polishes. #NailPolish #CoverGirl #CoverGirlNails #Outlast #CoverGirlOutlast

Instagram post 2141735943677094418_1721136150 I'm attending an event tonight at @emoryuniversity to listen to Tara Westover talk about her book, Educated. They gave out these cute pencil cases to all the guests! #CommonRead #emoryuniversity #tarawestovereducated  #educated #tarawestover
Instagram post 2140381067294321011_1721136150 2 years ago today this fluffy love nugget came into our lives and we haven’t been the same since. Joy. Silliness. Laughter. A few pain in the ass moments but they pale in comparison to the sheer heart busting love he gives to us. @stringerbellthecat

Hey y'all! I'm Karen, an Atlanta based purveyor of Southern sass. I'm an Indiana Jones & Anthony Bourdain wannabe. I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris. I work in a library but my side hustle is teaching about safer skincare and cleaner cosmetics. It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
