The Divergent series has taken the world by storm. Well, it has taken the teen world by storm. Once again, I gave in and read a Young Adult novel series. I’m still proud that I resisted Twilight, but I can’t make fun because I loved the Hunger Games. Veronica Roth’s series was the latest sensation…

I kicked off my week with a huge client presentation. There is still much work to be done, but I am looking forward to a more regulated work flow now that the craziness of presentation prep has calmed down. Background: gorgeous flowers for a special occasion We took Friday happy hour in a new direction…

And now for my third brunch post in a row I’ll tell you all about Rayuela. This one is another bottomless brunch spot. For just $15 you can have sangria added to your entree (which will only set you back about $13 in itself). You can switch off between sangria flavors, but I started with…

Ichabod’s is small, but size doesn’t always matter. Not when a bottomless brunch is offered, at least. Just $15 gets you two hours of mimosas or bloodies, which go great with the country breakfast (two eggs, potatoes, and bacon or sausage).

At 28 years old I should not be so easily intimidated. There was nothing scary about the restaurant and I was pretty enough…

As you’ll see from this week’s background (a screenshot of my instagram), the Konter fam released some pretty major news last week. My brother and sister-in-law are expecting a visit from the stork in August! I am so very happy for them and know they will make the best parents. I also plan to be…

Don’t you love it when things are so easy and also sooo good? I certainly do because it’s nice not to always have to work hard to cook enjoyable food. This recipe for dijon tarragon cream chicken took 20 minutes to pull together and tastes like you spent all day cooking it (I find cream…

B Flat calls itself an “authentic bar”. If a bar serves alcohol, I would consider it authentic…but that’s just semantics. I suppose they consider themselves legitimate because they have a whiskey on the menu that is $28 for 2 oz. I am not the kind of person that would order that but still found the…

From temperature to sleep, see this infographic to understand what contributes to your happiness. Esquire used a focus group of 1,000 to determine what makes men normal. How do you stack up? Former mayor Michael Bloomberg is donating $53 million to restock the fish populations in Brazil, Chile, and the Philippines. An effort like this…

Here in the North, shrimp is never the main meal. I pretty much only ever see it as a shrimp cocktail appetizer or as the protein in a pasta dish. But as a Lowcountry girl I’m used to shrimp being the main event. When you can catch the main course for free off your dock,…
