5 Holiday Bars You Should Visit This Year
Holiday Bar pop-ups always looked like so much fun but I never made time to actually go. Pop-ups are when an establishment either turns over their venue to an outside company to host a special event or the establishment hosts a special event outside of the norm. This year I made it a point to visit some recommended holiday bars and I have listed some of the highlights of my visits. I hope you will be able to go to at least one this year. You’ll thank me later.
Atlanta Holiday Home – Part 1
This is my third year in a row going to the Holiday Home sponsored by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine and it didn’t disappoint. I have to break it down into two parts because the house was huge. Located in the Chastain Park area of Atlanta, we had to park at the horse park and get shuttled over to the house. It was raining while we were waiting and even with two shuttles it took over thirty minutes to finally get to the house. I would definitely recommend taking an Uber directly to the house the next time so you don’t have to wait. Even if it wasn’t raining, which was miserable, it’s no fun waiting.
Holiday Gift Guide – Pet Ideas
That’s my dog Domi. Her full name is Daisy Domague from a character played by Jennifer Jason Leigh in the movie Hateful Eight. If you know, you know. I bet you’re wondering how I got myself in this predicament. Well, it all started with the pandemic and I was at home watching all of those sad dog commercials with the abused animals. I have always loved dogs, but I had a long commute to work (an hour) and I knew having a dog was a big responsibility. I didn’t want her to have to be at home for 9 hours plus Monday through Friday and putting her in doggy daycare never entered my mind at that point.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
