The things we do for food! Recapping the Downtown Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo
Raleigh has been experiencing record high temperatures for the past week or so, and last Saturday was no exception. Two girlfriends and I decided to brave the heat and head downtown to the Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo on Fayetteville Street, like the rest of the 1,000 people who usually attend. Though the scorching temperatures spared us no mercy, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you live in the Triangle, but haven’t heard of the local Food Truck Rodeo’s by now, you either aren’t a foodie, or must be living under a rock. Last Saturday’s event had over 50 trucks across the State of NC come to take part in the festivities. It was my first time attending a rodeo, and the hardest decision was choosing which truck for my main meal. After walking around to view all of my options, I decided on a truck called Dank Burrito, which is based in Morehead-City, NC. All I can say is I’m SO glad I did. The Teriyaki Shrimp Soft Taco’s with mushrooms, zucchini, and yum yum sauce was absolutely phenomenal! I can see why Dank Burrito earned it’s title of 2014 Mobile Cuisine Rookie Food Truck of the Year. Read all about that here: News and Observer If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo, there’s two more opportunities to do so this year on August 10 from 3:30 pm until 9 pm and October 12 from 12:30 pm until 6 pm. I certainly plan on attending again since there are several trucks I was dying to try but didn’t have a chance. Hopefully...
Go Green!
Hey everyone! I gotta thang for green lately, so I decided to max it out with this green maxi dress shopped from my closet …. I actually found it last year at Marshalls. It caught my attention because the pattern was unique and colors were captivating to my eye. I also love the various shades from grass to army green. Green has always been one of my favorite colors. It’s the color of life, renewal, nature, energy, growth, harmony, freshness, safety, fertility, and the environment. It’s no wonder I love it. I’m not sure what my green obsession is all about lately, but I’m going to roll with it 🙂 // Maxi dress (Marshalls) // // Straw Tote (old) // // Gladiator Sandals (Seychelles) // // Reveal Cosmetics (here) // Photography by: Em Grey Photography Have a great rest of the week!

Recapping the Sip and Shop hosted by Outerskin 2 and Reveal Cosmetics
Happy Monday Ladies! Outerskin 2 and Reveal Cosmetics teamed up to host an exclusive Sip and Shop yesterday, which was held at a private location. I can’t even begin to tell you about the fun I had. The event kicked off my summer shopping and truly lived up to all it was said to be, and more. Besides the latest fashion finds including apparel and jewelry, there were make overs, makeup tips and products, plenty of raffles, fun games, giveaways, delicious food, and sips. The event was a huge success not because of the material things, but because of the things money can’t buy which are relationships, networking and support that also occurred. It’s rare to attend an event where you walk in only knowing a few ladies, but walk out feeling like you have gained so many girlfriends. All the ladies are just phenomenal. These photo’s simply don’t do justice on how much fun we had! I don’t normally include this many in my blog posts, but I wanted to capture the moment. 🙂 If you haven’t had a chance to check out the products and services offered by Outerskin2 and Reveal Cosmetics, I highly recommend you do so. You will be amazed and happy you did. I am already counting down to the next event! Have a great week y’all! Love, The Ultimate...About Me
I remember at a very young age being mesmerized in my mother’s closet, and trying on her clothes which quickly became a hobby. As I grew older I not only enjoyed enhancing my look, but that of others, so the natural fit was to become a Fashion Stylist.
