We Crave a Different Kind of Buzz

This weekend was the much anticipated TNB reunion in Atlanta. The problem? No matter how late we stay up, how early we rise, or how many heart to hearts we share -- it's just never enough time.

This whirlwind of a weekend included but was not limited to:
-2 airport pick ups
-3 gals driving after work
-1 planning session of saving dates for Kels and Ash's big days
-7 girls catching up on the last 6 months-worth of happenings
-seeing 2 sparkling engagement rings "in the flesh"
-1 bottle of red wine
-1 batch of pumpkin muffins
-2 hours of the Katy Perry movie
-infinity selfies
-7 Yeah Burgers
-2 haircuts from Clairebear
-6 ($14 a piece) tequila shots at Alma Cocina
-1 "Sex on the Beach" shot (instead of tequila)
-(uncounted) vodka tonics an The Ivy Buckhead
-1 Georgia football win
-2 hours of watching The Breakfast Club
-2 airport drop offs
-3 commutes back home
-----------------------------------------
ONE. AMAZING. WEEKEND.

Here are some snapshots of said events:

So, while we may not be royal (yet), we do crave reunions with our besties.

Celeb Concoctions

SAw news about Kenny Chesney debuting his own brand of rum, and since owning a wine label is a dream of mine, it struck a nerve.

Kenny is not the first celeb to brew his own libations, not by a long shot. The list is long and filled with impressive names from every genre and palate, I'm sure.  Here are the ones I'm aware of (which means I'm sure many other exist).

1) Kenny Chesney's Blue Chair Bay Rum

2) Drew Barrymore's "Barrymore Pinot Grigio"

3) Justin Timberlake's 901 Tequila

4) Brad and Angie's Miraval rosé 

5) Willie Nelson's Old Whiskey River Bourbon

6) George Clooney's Casamigos Tequila 

7) Fergie's Ferguson Crest wines

 

8) Dave Matthew's The Dreaming Tree wines

9) Train's "Drops of Jupiter" wine (this is not a joke)

even 10) Hanson's "MmmHop" beer

 
I'm curious to see if these mixtures are actually tasty or just fueled by brand awareness/celeb status. Guess I'll just have to try them all, budget allowing, and report back. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.
