wine down wednesday
I'm planning a bachelorette party for next summer and I have no idea where to go. Do you ladies have any suggestions?
Karissa: I'm currently planning a bachelorette party in Nashville - planning stuff was super easy (so much to do, and so many places to stay). I will update after we go but it seems to be a great place - not too far for people to travel. I also planned a bachelorette party in Chicago which was super fun!
Sam: I think planning a bachelorette all depends on the number of ladies attending and the time of year. It would be so fun to rent a beach house or lake house for the weekend but that isn't always realistic with everyone's crazy schedules. My friends and I were so busy this entire summer, we are are having a staycation Bachelorette in Columbus later this fall. I couldn't be more excited! Sometimes staying in your home city allows more people to attend and if you do something out of the box it will feel as if you are somewhere else!
What does your morning routine look like?
Sam: My morning usually begins at 6:30 with Oslo waking me up by barking downstairs. Then after feeding and letting him out I sit down with my coffee and do my 'rounds' on my phone. I've been showering at night lately so I usually just dry shampoo, then I use this toner, this daily moisturizer and put my makeup on. I'm usually out the door at 7:30am.
Karissa: I don't go into work until the afternoon so my routine is a little different (and not so routine). Fitz usually wants breakfast at 7, then I drink coffee and "catch up on the times". If I'm planning a work out I usually try and do that before work. Then its walking Fitz, showering (sometimes just a body shower + dry shampoo) makeup and lunch and I'm out the door.
What are some of your favorite nail polish colors?
Karissa: I love Essie polish my current favorite colors are Merino Cool and Topless & Barefoot. I also really love this polish from wet n' wild -- I feel like I've tried a million different nail polishes (expensive and inexpensive) and this one lasts the longest on my dry brittle nails - plus the brush is rounded at the end which is really nice.
Sam: My favorite brand is Sally Hansen Salon Manicure because the brush is tiny and squared off on the end (not a triangle) and this polish never chips. My favorite colors are Ping Pong and What in Carnation.
I'm getting ready to move in with my boyfriend and we are looking for a neutral bedding set. What would you ladies suggest? He said no to all white!
Sam: When it comes to bedding I always head to West Elm. I love to do a duvet cover for the wash-ability. I LOVE this one and this one. Since guys don't like a lot of pillows on the bed stick to two Euro Shams that match the duvet cover and then get one long pillow like this.
Karissa: Bradley and I have this bedding by Tommy Hilfiger - its a little on the girly side with the paisley but Bradley doesn't seem to mind it. I also love this bedding from Pottery Barn - I love me some stripes!
What are your favorite restaurants and places to eat out in Columbus?
Karissa: My all-time-favorite is Bakersfield (I'm obsessed with their queso + the green cilantro sauce on the table). Unfortunately we don't go that often because Bradley doesn't really LOVE Mexican- which is a bummer. I also love Northstar Cafe and Hot Chicken Take-Over!
Sam: We love to go to Condado Tacos for a casual Friday night dinner but one of my favorite places is Cantina Laredo. Can you tell we love mexican food!?
