Sinless Cocktail’s Adult Field Day

Posted on September 18, 2012 by | Leave a comment

The young and the restless came out to Noche Town Brookhaven for a blast from the past! Dizzy bat, trash bag races, cricket eating and a blow up obstacle course were just a few of the challenges at Sinless Cocktail’s Second Annual Adult Field Day! 150 costume clad competitors spent the day gulping Sinless Cocktails in between challenges, which made for a very interesting day!!

Best part: 100% of the net proceeds were be donated to The Sibling Society, whose mission is to create programs for siblings of children with chronic and/or terminal illnesses to help them connect with their peers going through similar circumstances.

The setting: Noche @ Town Brookhaven

Me, Courtney, Erin & Laura (The allstar planner) lovin on Bieber 

Don’t mess with this judge

The crazy competitors (love you guys)

Summer To Do

Posted on July 5, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Sinless Coronaritas Recipe:

1 12 oz can of lemon-lime soda (7-Up, Sprite, etc)
12 oz of Sinless Margarita Mix
12 oz of your favorite tequila
1 12 oz bottle of Corona beer

Makes 4-6 servings. My friend Hope made these last week at a pot luck dinner and they were amazing. They go down super easy and a little too fast ;)

 

 

Best Traditional Italian- Trattoria Il Localino

Brennan and I were invited to celebrate one of my friend’s birthdays at this quaint Italian jewel in the Inman Park neighborhood. The tiny dining room atmosphere is crazy unique with celeb photos papering the walls from floor to ceiling and crazy hat’s hanging from a pho fire-place.  The owner and executive chef is very old school and spends most of his time milling about the dining room rubbing elbows with happy guests. The food was absolutely delicious. I started with a caprese salad  and  then had a special that included meat, cheese  and spinach filled tortellini dressed with a hearty bolognese sauce.  This was not a quick meal but it sure was entertaining when the staff grabbed loads of crazy hats and dressed all the guests for a sing along to the YMCA.  We will definitely be back as this was one of the best Italian meals I have had in Atlanta. I would not recommend going with a large group because they don’t do separate checks and give you a hand written check (very old school).

Brewery Tours & Beer Tastings

Craft breweries are popping up right and left in Atlanta.  Most of the local breweries have free tours and inexpensive ($10) tasting programs. Sweet Water Brewery is the staple in the local craft beer scene but others such as Red Brick and Red Hare are going strong. Each brewery has a different niche from live music to yard games. Brennan and I checked out Red Brick for the first time a few weeks ago and absolutely loved the tour and had a blast playing ping-pong in the tasting room. Word on the street is that two new breweries will be popping up in the next few months!

Fox Hall Resort & Sporting Club

Ditch the hustle and bustle of ATL and head South of the city for some Fox Halling (the term for ultimate relaxation at the resort). Fox Hall Resort & Sporting Club, a 1100 acre outdoor haven, has something to do for the whole family. Activities include, a clay shooting course, driving range, horseback riding, archery, atv riding, fishing, hiking, kayaking, yard games and so much more.

D.B.A. Barbecue - Summer Specials

Sunday- $2.50 Pinnacle Vodka

Monday- Manly Monday $1 PBR & Other Things

Tuesday- 1/2 Price Bottles of Wine

Wednesday- All you can eat ribs, wings, pork and select sides for $14

I am thrilled to be Co-Charing the second annual Raw Love Fashion Show benefiting Wish for Wendy on Wednesday April 25, 2012 from 7:00p.m.-9:00p.m. The star-studded event not only features Atlanta’s socialites and trendsetters walking the runway at Opera in Raw Denim to the beats of DJ Mad Flip but also highlights lines from Lady Couture and Luna-C.

The event is hosted by Trey Humphreys and Ace Emerson – a guaranteed
show stopping, inappropriate performance. The show will kick off with a vocal performance from New York City’s very own Chloe Cahill.

Donations of $15 are requested at the door. The donation goes directly to Wish for Wendy and gets you a Sinless Margarita, bites from Fig Jam (cold shrimp presentation, crudités of vegetables and dip, pork carnitas and tortellini with cheese in a cream sauce), delicious cupcakes from Sugar Lilly Bakery and of course a killer fashion show!

Eat, Drink, Shop & Entertain Local

Posted on February 23, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Everywhere I go I am hearing Farm to table, praise to local business owners and new fabulous products popping up in local neighborhoods. I am a huge fan of local businesses and want to share a few of my favorite townies with  you!

-EAT-


Farm Burger- Trendy burger shops are popping up all over town but Farm Burger is the only one in town with 100% grass-fed beef. Their cows are raised regionally and never fed hormones, antibiotics or grain. The vegetables and other menu items are grown locally.   I proclaim Farm Burger has the best burger in town! They now have two locations, Decatur and Buckhead. I am partial to the Decatur location because it is the original and I think the food just tastes better!

Empire State South- The Dawgs fans in Atlanta are familiar with Five & Ten and The National in Athens and have been quick to take to Chef Hugh Acheson’s newest creation. Empire State South is a modern twist on southern cuisine. All ingredients are sourced from regional farms. Must try items: Jars of pork rillette, trout mousse, pickles, pimento cheese & bacon marmalade and boiled peanut hummus are the best starter on the menu! As an entrée I would recommend ESS Goat Cheese Pecan Ravioli or the Riverview Farms Pork Loin. After you have eaten till your heart’s content work off a few calories playing a game of bocci ball.

Miller Union- A local resident in the up and coming westside of Atlanta, Miller Union truly has built its business on the relationship between farmer and chef.  The menu changes weekly and is based on the weekly harvest. Start your experience with creamy grits fritters with country ham & thomasville tomme or sorghum glazed pork belly, smoked cabbage, kumquat & pickled beet.  For your main dish try country captain chicken, peanuts, toasted coconut, green tomato chutney or vermilion snapper, carrot, sunchoke, country ham & arugula pistou. Don’t leave without trying chocolate-coconut macaroon torte, spiced rum ice cream.

-DRINK-

Victory H2O- Water has never made me feel so great! Victory H2O is the brain child of a pro athlete trainer who lives right here in Atlanta. I had the privilege of meeting the owner and learn the amazing benefits of drinking this enhanced electrolyte water. Great to get you through work outs and help your body recover!

Sinless Cocktails- If you follow my blog, facebook or twitter page you have heard me mention Sinless Cocktails a few times. Not only are the Sinless peeps great friends of mine but I absolutely love the low-calorie factor with big calorie taste. Sinless is now available in strawberry and regular margarita mix and sour mix.  Sinless is available at most local bars including all Tin Lizzy’s, Buckhead Saloon and East Andrews as well as most package stores.

Kill Cliff- Tagged as the worlds only anti-inflammatory supporting drink, Kill Cliff was created right here in Atlanta by some good ole Georgia boys. Created as a recovery drink to help athletes perform better and recover faster, Kill Cliff has taken over gyms all over the country. It has also found a home at local bars and is being used as a fix to the nasty hang over. You can now purchase Kill Cliff at Kroger or on their website and get free shipping.

Whynatte- Why have a Starbucks when you could have a Whynatte Latte to get your day rolling! It is a great tasting, 100 calorie alternative to the fancy over priced coffee shop drinks. Founded by two local brothers, Whynatte has made it’s mark in Atlanta and beyond. Next time you are out on the town try a fire in the whole or a mother fluffer- I will let you figure out what those are on your own :)

-SHOP-

Raw Denim- Skip bloomies or neimans and get your next pair of designer jeans from Raw Denim, a locally owned boutique. This country/rockstar chic boutique is owned by one of my good friends and offers the best selection of designer jeans in Atlanta and quite a few must have dresses and accessories!

Shaye Blue- I love nothing more than to see a young fashionista make it as a local designer. Shaye Blue has set the standard for local designs and definitely is high on my list of fav townies that are making it big. Shaye Blue is a great go to for sun dresses and trendy casual! Shay Blue is available at many local boutiques and online!

-ENTERTAIN-

Hal’s Kitchen- If you are looking for a fun date night or night out with the girls you must check out Hal’s Kitchen in Sandy Springs. Hal’s Kitchen was started by two local chefs who are so talented in the kitchen and provide a fun interactive cooking experience. Each night is a different gourmet menu!

Laughing Skull Lounge- Need a good laugh to forget about the work week blues? Laughing Skull Lounge is the perfect excuse for a funny night on the town. Each week they have a different line up of comedians and if you want to try your luck at comedy check out open mic nights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and young adults in the United States.
CF causes the body to produce an abnormally thick mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections. This mucus also obstructs the pancreas and interferes with digestion.
The median life expectancy for a CF patient is 37 years.
