Shake Shack Opens at The Summit at Fritz Farm

May 12, 2017

This post is in collaboration with Shake Shack. All of these opinions are entirely my own. Thank you for supporting brands and businesses that support Fabulous in Fayette! If you live in Lexington, then you’ve probably heard the buzz around the opening of The Summit at Fritz Farm. The Summit at Fritz Farm’s grand opening was the weekend of April 26-28. Over that particular weekend, there were several events going on. Ever since then, more and more stores have been opening up each week. The rest of the stores will continue to open throughout the rest of the summer. The…

Derby Like a Local | The Official Drink of the Kentucky Derby

April 20, 2017

It’s Derby season, y’all! Woodford Reserve said it best, when they said: “In Kentucky, horses are everything and bourbon is everything else.” About a week or so ago, I was at Liquor Barn picking up a bottle or two of bourbon. Liquor Barn is the mecca of alcohol. At over 55,000 square feet, it’s the largest retailer in Kentucky for wine, beer, and spirits. It’s seriously a sight to behold. If you ever visit Lexington, be sure to check out the Hamburg location. Liquor Barn alone has over 200 different bourbons, and that’s not including whiskey or scotch, which are completely…

Maker’s Mark Releases UK Basketball Commemorative Bottle Honoring the 1996 Championship Team

April 10, 2017

It’s officially springtime in the Bluegrass State. Not only was this past weekend the opening of Keeneland for the spring meet, but on Friday, April 7, Maker’s Mark released a commemorative bottle that featured the University of Kentucky’s 1996 championship team, affectionately known as the “Untouchables.” Of course, when I heard about it, I had to go stand in line! “Our ’96 championship team was one of the best not only in the history of our program, but in the history of college basketball. This iconic bottle is a fitting tribute to them and all they accomplished during that historic season.” -UK Athletics…

I Can See Clearly Now… | J. Galt Eyewear

March 23, 2017

This post is sponsored by J. Galt Eyewear. All opinions are my own. Some people may not know this, but I wear glasses and contacts. Actually, I’ve worn glasses since the third grade and contacts since the sixth grade (I’ll be 31 years old at the end of April). My eyesight is horrible (around -9.00 in both eyes for contacts and around -10.25 and -10.50 for glasses. I always chuckle when people with something like a -3.00 say they have bad eyes. They honestly have no clue!) Growing up, I always hated wearing glasses, because they were considered “nerdy,” and…

Shrimp Scampi With a Touch of Kentucky

February 21, 2017

I love finding new products to try from local businesses here in the Bluegrass State. I can’t stress enough, but SHOP LOCAL. Something that you may not know about me is that I love to cook. However, if you follow me on instagram, then I know you know that I love to eat hahaha! I love to experiment in the kitchen and try new foods. Over the past couple of years, I have turned from a picky eater into a way more adventurous eater. I’m a huge fan of pasta, so I figured that I would make shrimp scampi. Usually when I make…
