What to See, Eat, and Do in Louisville, Kentucky

Having lived in Louisville for years, it only seemed right to share some of my favorite places, things to do, and where to eat in Kentucky’s largest city.  I first wrote this post for my friend Annaliese’s blog {original post here} last year, but figured it was a good one to share before I leave Louisville.

I’ve been waiting to write this post for MONTHS and it feels surreal to finally be doing it!  You probably can guess from the title of the post but I’m moving…back to Northern Virginia. Moving during a pandemic is for sure a different experience, but I’m so thankful things have worked out and for this new chapter.

How to Make the Starbucks Iced Matcha Pineapple at Home

Back in June, I was going through the drive thru by my house and saw the Starbucks Iced Matcha Pineapple drink.  Despite the fact that I’ve never been a big matcha fan, I ordered it and it was love at first sip.  It quickly became my go-to drink.  While I’ve been mostly staying at home this summer, once in awhile I’d want a change of scenery and grab a drink at the drive thru and then work from my car in the parking lot.  The drink comes out to be about $6 so after refilling my Starbucks card a couple times, I decided I needed to see if I could make the drink at home.
