Chambord is one of my favorite liqueurs to use for cocktails (& also one of my favorite bottles – so fancy & French!), so I was thrilled to hear that for the first time, Chambord was extending their brand to include Chambord flavored vodka. And top it off, it’s flippin’ PINK. PINK people. Do you know how many girlie drinks are in our future? Oh please, let Tropical Storm Earl sympathize with us South Floridians because I’d love to mix some up by our pool come Labor Day weekend!
It’s only fair that since I have featured the majority of the Vampire Diaries hotties, Matt Davis should have his time to shine on Hump Day as well. Matt is now well known for playing vampire hunting professor, Alaric Saltzman, on the show but before the vampire craze took the world by storm, he was in one of my favorite chick flicks, Legally Blonde. Yep, that’s right. He played the jerky ex-boyfriend! But jerk he is not. Matt often keeps in touch with his fans through his very active (and hysterical) Twitter account. Enjoy the man candy, ladies!
Saturday was the much anticipated Yelp event at the Moore Building in Miami. The theme was a mid-summer night’s dream and I can attest to it being every bit as magical as Shakespeare’s tale. All 4 floors of the building were jam packed with action! We were greeted on the first floor by Peroni beers, amazing food from Mr. Yum‘s and Maya Tapas & Grill and this ridiculously fun photobooth courtesy of Capture Pod. When we made our way up to the 2nd floor, we were thrusted into foodie heaven! We tasted goodies from such great places as JB Kitchen & Bar, Bongo’s Cuban Cafe and Maitardi. We also were bombarded with drinks at every turn, including Fenom Absinthe and Buck 15 bombs. As if our tummies weren’t thanking us enough, when we pulled ourselves up to the 3rd floor, we met the sweets! Nothing but cupcakes, brownies and ice cream galore from such wonderful places as Sweetness Bake Shop, 2 Girls and a Cupcake and Feverish Ice Cream Truck.
The event also featured beauty stations where you could get some false eyelashes applied amongst other salon favorites as well as a silent disco, where you donned a pair of headphones and jammed to the music quite literally in your own head. I know, you are jealous. How could you not be? Did I mention that all of this was free? My friends and I had such a wonderful time and I have to thank Yelp not only for putting on one hell of an event, but also for turning me on to a whole slew of new restaurants I wasn’t aware of! I really hope Yelp continues to host such amazing events in the future because it’s hard to find ones that feel so warm and inviting down here in South Florida without some sort of pretentious attitude.
Keep up the great work, Yelp Miami!
Have a great week, everyone!
It’s not rare to see hotties on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, but that didn’t stop me from literally gasping out loud when this month’s cover was released. Wowza! You have to give it up to True Blood, they know what their viewers want to see – or rather, what they don’t want to see: namely, clothes. Jennifer Aniston, eat your heart out!
Ah, John Mayer. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with you. I adore your music and lyrical stylings, but your personality? Not so much. For all those JM fanatics, I know that he may just be misunderstood by the media and that things have been blown out of proportion, but there’s just something about him that is so arrogant. However, none of that takes away from his amazing musical talents and mind-blowing live performances…and his boyishly good looks. Am I right? So I guess the good outweighs the bad with Mr. Mayer and I suppose I can overlook some ill-timed comments and irritating tweets. Well, at least to put together this lovely hump day post! Enjoy, ladies!
