Where to Celebrate National Donut Day in Louisville | What I Look for In a Donut

LOL I giggled just writing that but, let’s be real there’s some things to take into consideration! My first factor is definitely taste but it’s also worth noting that I consider the atmosphere of the donut shop, the number of variations they offer, friendliness of staff, how they pack to go orders, and my big one – are they traditional or cake based donuts? Hands down, I prefer traditional donuts to cake so I like when shops offer both! {I also consider whether they spell it donuts or doughnuts but that’s a debate for another day.}  Now let’s get to the donuts; if you’re celebrating in Louisville and visit one of these, let me know!

What to Pack for a Quick Two Day Trip

Hey y’all; last week I embarked on an insane opportunity in Saint Louis, Missouri. I was asked to speak on a fashion panel for a brand to discuss marketing strategies, evaluate their current social media and advertisements, talk about product selection, trend, what consumers want to see in stores and more. While I can’t share too many details, it was the kind of opportunity that made me step back and really appreciate the growth I’ve experienced as a blogger. Today, I’m sharing what I packed for my 3 day, 2 night trip as well as my printable packing list in case you’re heading on any two day trips or weekend getaways soon!
