Ultimate Sports Must Haves

July 2, 2019

There are SO many things that I think I need when I am getting ready to either go to ONE game or a weekend tournament. Especially in baseball, really there is NO END to what I think I will need! Here’s some tips:

FOOD

What I pack for food is dependent on how long I will be there/what time of day/ how many POTENTIAL games we might have i.e. tournaments. When packing, I like to take things that travel easy and ALWAYS take more than I THINK I will need. LOL

Some favorites would be: Ham and cheese sliders, pringles, grapes, carrots and dip/veggie trays, cheese and crackers.

HOW TO SLIDERS: I slice all the buns, and make an assembly line out of it. I prefer the bakery buns, rather than just normal hamburger buns– something about it makes them more tasty. We do slices of turkey, ham and salami with a white cheese. I don’t add any veggies, but add a little mayo. key here is to slice into quarters or halves— something about that slice they are gone in an instant!

Snackable items: Pretzels with peanut butter, twizzlers (my personal favorite), Skinny Pop Popcorn (multiple flavors), m&ms, gummy worms.

THE CHAIR

The chair you select honestly can make or break you. Only learning this over time do you see how much you need a NICE chair. It really comes down to personal preference and honestly by the time this is said and done, I can totally buy a new type each year. The reason I say that is AS SOON AS I think I have the comfiest most best chair ever, someone comes to a game and has something WAY more comfy looking. 🙂

I am linking all kinds here so you too can find what works best for you. these are ALL Linked on Amazon so you can get it quick. We personally LOVE the rockers. My Dad got a rocker last season and it was BY FAR the hit on the field. I bought them this year, and they are great! I use the cooler as a footrest anyway, so that will save me on another chair at least this season!

At any sports game there is NO guarantee of anyones comfort and beating sun or awful wind and cold! Baseball especially we can experience all 4 seasons! Here ‘s a few more items that ALWAYS come in handy given the right (or wrong) weather!

Cleveland Weekend Roundup

June 17, 2019

|SHOP THIS LOOK|

Had the BEST time this weekend for a little Parent’s Weekend away in Cleveland! I am from the Columbus area and had took a girls trip there in the fall, but my husband had never been!

So much fun to be able to sleep in, eat and do whatever we wanted! Thank you to you all who gave us recommendations on where to eat and what to check out! Next time we will definitely be catching a baseball game! Hoping to be able to check out more spots next time too!

Wanted to roundup in one place where we went and relay the other popular spots you all suggested for those looking to visit again as well!

Hotel: This is my second time at the Hilton Downtown Cleveland, from service to location– I cannot recommend this place enough! The hotel lobby bar (Eliot’s), and restaurant The Burnham both were great– a great local feel too. We took in the sunset up at Bar 32 and WOW! If you stay, don’t miss! They really do have a LOT of local pride and it shows!

Restaurants:

TownHall (Ohio City): We went here for brunch, thought it was OK– I grabbed a Tumeric Shot, and a bloody mary which were tasty but not crazy good. The place is busy, so I know the locals like it, but I think that the beset thing they have going is the ambience. The spot is beautiful and its a great place to catch a game and a drink .

Urban Farmer (Westin Hotel Downtown): This place was more my speed- Bloody Mary/Mimosa Bar and a brunch buffet. Great spins on classic breakfast items, and they emphasize the use of locally sourced ingredients.

Nuevo (Downtown Near Rock Hall): Great food, even better drinks. I LOVE fresh margarita mix, not bottled sour mix and this was SO GOOD. (Cue the “I had too many” regrets).. On the water with a cute patio– second visit there and it was consistent to the first.

Other Locations:

The Marble Room- Great ambience and food for a dressy Happy Hour or Date Night.

The Flats– It was suggested that we couldn’t go wrong anywhere in The Flats fun bars a food. Sadly we couldn’t make it.

Flap Jacks- Brunch!

Momocho: Suggested for awesome Mexican

Little Italy: Suggested for Yummy Food and fun atmosphere

Siteseeing: We only had great weather on the first evening so we were able to walk down to Nuevo to eat which is right next to the water and the Rock Hall. Great little stroll but it really kept us from having desire to leave the hotel with it raining so much. We did manage to check out the West Side Market in Ohio City, which was great and full of history.

The Great Lakes Science Center, I think primarily attractions for kids. But my husband really wanted to get on the William H. Mather Steamship– so we paid to do a self guided tour. This was a fun piece of history to see!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: We did check that out, since its so close to the hotel and also my hubs is a HUGE music fan. Got to see what we wanted, they have a great little summer concert series– would have been fun to stay for had it not been raining.

Look Of the Day: Kimono Trend

June 10, 2019

Today’s look is SUCH a fun look for summer and its all centered around a VERY popular trend this summer. You can add a kimono to just about anything and takes your look to a whole new level!

I would definitely encourage you to try this trend and this outfit is a great place to start! It showcases the vibrancy of this kimono and can be worn to the pool or a party! I have linked not only this outfit, but a few other fun statement pieces to add to your Summer Style!

Summer of Color: Gibson x Hi Sugarplum! Collection Launch

June 6, 2019

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am about this collection. This collection was just like the last time Gibson x Hi SugarPlum! had their resort collection! To not be able to talk about it until now has ABSOLUTELY KILLED ME! You guys know that Black is my happy color, but let me tell you — I think Cassie has me converted. This collection has me SO happy for summer, and all the color it can bring.

Sizing: My typical sizes are 10/12 and M/L tops– I like to wear a Large in all tops and bottoms with Gibson and this collection is no different. I will say here and also in my try on in Instagram will say that EVERYTHING fit to a “T”. Don’t miss my try on in Instagram Stories!

A LOT of attention is paid on fit with these collections but by far my favorite thing is that there is sizing inclusivity. This collection is available in petite and plus sizes. Also– EVERYTHING IS under $100

What I like best about this collection is the versatility and how you can totally make each outfit yours. Styling the looks, you will see many different ways to be able to wear the pieces and that is truly such a great feature of these designs. Grab a couple pieces that can last you all season long from Sunday best to a Vacation Look!

Do NOT delay, the last collection sold clean out and we had to wait on restocks — These pieces are TRULY SO BEAUTIFUL, I cannot wait to see what you snag and how you style it!
