Happy Weekend friends! First edition of Kandy’s Corner of the year. I started the week off at my co-working space, shooting recipes for the site. I enlisted the help of one of my girlfriends to be my sous chef, and between us and my photographer we shot 7 dishes and 2 cocktails. I can’t wait […]

You know that saying we plan, God laughs? The past 6+ months have never made this more apparent. We make all these plans and the universes comes in and laughs in our face. Life was going really well, and then it started beating my ass. Last October I went to my first concert in over […]

Fall is upon us friends and I for one can’t wait for the leaves to turn and the temperature to drop. I’m ready for a change of seasons and a transition into a new time. My birthday is this week, and the older I get the more reflective I am around this time. I want […]

The last 18 months have tested me. My patience, my ability to give grace, my sanity. The frustration, the grief, the anger of feeling robbed of a year of my life. The lack of empathy, the apathy, the denial that we seem to be right back where we started. The realization that covid isn’t going […]

Friends we are ( thankfully) finally coming out of a deep freeze. We’ve had some form of ice and snow on the ground here in Louisville for the better part of 2 weeks and frankly, I’m over it. I’ve mentioned this before but I grew up in Memphis, where 40 degrees is about as cold […]

What a week. I feel like I’ve said that alot over the last year. Part of me feels like I’m not fully processing everything that’s happening. Part of me just feels comfortably numb . We’ve normalized this mess we’re in, and as I feel like it’s going to get much worse before it gets better. […]

Happy Sunday friends! I’m hoping this week is good to you. It was a little rough for me last week as I wasn’t feeling well, but I’m on the mend. I got some good news, and I also started a re-watch of one of my favorite shows The Vampire Diaries. I’m team Damon BTW. Just […]

When I realize it’s August and I can shop again. Hey friends! I hope you’ve had a good week. It’s August so that means I can shop again. If you’re unfamiliar with my No Buy challenge, you can read about why I started it. I’ve been cooking alot this week, as well as rewatching E.R. […]

Hey y’all! I’ve been a bit quiet the last week but I’m ready to jump back in. I was feeling a bit stuck honestly. Dealing with some personal issues, hitting a wall with workouts, being in a creative rut etc. So I took a step back, re-evaluated, and gave myself grace to work through my […]

We made it to another weekend. The air feels very heavy, and I would be lying if I said I hadn’t been sitting in waves of sadness the past few days with all the loss. I wept last night when I learned of John Lewis’s death. It felt too close, and I am both angered […]
