It’s FRIDAY!

What are y’all up to this weekend? Tonight I’m having a chill wine night with two old friends, and tomorrow, I’m headed to my first Taste of the South with Kristyn and Lauren! Stoked doesn’t even begin to cover it. For those of you that don’t know, Taste of the South is a large charity gala held every year, and Kristyn has been working tirelessly on it for months! I’m excited to support a dear friend and hang out with some of the Hill’s finest.

Have a great weekend! x
