Movies - I can watch Sabrina (1995) on repeat. Also anything with Audrey Hepburn.
Season - Spring! It’s not too hot and I can plant in my garden.
Scent - I love the sea salt and sage candle by paddywax. But I REALLY love the smell of wet pavement.
Fruit - This one is hard because I love all fruit. I’d say peaches though.
Dogs or cats? - Easy, cats.
Dusk or dawn? - Dawn easily. It’s full of hope for the day coming up. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
I'm going very specific here because these are the three I have that I really like:
"Underground" from Wick and Fable, based on Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones - I completely forget what the actual scent is; some kind of berry. But it's great
"Charlotte Brontë" by Paddywax Library - rosewood, peony, and patchouli
"Jane Austen" by Paddywax Library - gardenia, tuberose, and jasmine
34. 3 people in history that inspire you the most
Charlotte Brontë
Emily Brontë
Jane Austen
35. 3 vegetables that you like the taste of
Corn
Green beans
Carrots
36. 3 ways of traveling that you enjoy the most
I really don't like the physical act of traveling for the most part. I get motion sickness, so cars, buses, trains, etc. are a no go. And planes just suck. So I'll go with, for short distances because none of these are reasonable for long distances:
Walking
Bicycle
Horse-drawn carriage - we actually did this a bit on the island Spetses in Greece, and it was great. We need to bring back horse-drawn carriages!
I was searching for leather and smoke candles and found this one by Paddywax https://paddywax.com/products/vista-worn-leather-smoke I’m sure it’s more spendy than your original but maybe the price per ounce (4 v 12) isn’t actually bad in comparison. I’ve heard good things about Paddywax candles!
👀 Omg wait this candle sounds perfect for me?????
Top Notes: Pink Peppercorn, Bergamot, Clove Bud, Saffron
Middle Notes: Black Leather, Gingerlily, Cedar Leaf, Elemi Resin
Base Notes: Dark Oak, Agarwood, Guaiac, Burlwood, Cade
The Folia Collection from PaddyWax showcases garden fresh scents and ceramic vessels made to be combined into stackable, self-watering planters once the wax runs out.
Mix-n-match within the Folia Collection to create a colorful planter and scent combination as unique as you are.

Today’s theme was “Kiss the Miss Goodbye” - meaning Kena and I wear pink, while Beach continues to wear white of course. I liked my outfit today a lot, and even executed a claw clip well! So proud.
I’m very glad we were able to visit Five Daughters Bakery on Friday, so we had a little bit of extra time to sleep and pack this morning. We were still running late as it was. We had to pull down all the decor, pack, take out the garbage, and clean up after Kena’s blood drips from her foot all over the place, and her pink and orange hair dye in the shower. We were running around like crazy trying to get it all done in time to make it to our brunch reservation. We cut it close, but we made it, even after doing some quick pictures in our hotel lobby. It’s called The Jolene, and it’s all Dolly Parton themed. Still weird there is no one around to help, and there’s no furniture, but it is a cute lobby.
Brunch was at Layer Cake, which is a fairly new spot just off Broadway. The bottom floor has three distinct color sections - pink, blue, and yellow, and that includes chairs, decor, paint… everything. Each floor also has it’s own feel, including a speakeasy basement. We were running down the street to get there before our 15 minute grace period expired, and I ended up tripping and rolling my foot. It hurt SO bad. If you were watching, you’d have thought I rolled my ankle, but it really was my actual foot. I ended up having a hard time putting weight on it for the next week or so, but at least it wasn’t more serious. I did have to limp around the rest of the day.
Breakfast was incredible, and this ended up being maybe my favorite meal of the whole trip. I ended up just getting two appetizers instead of an entree, and I have zero regrets. I got chicken and biscuit sliders with country gravy, SO GOOD, and buffalo chicken egg rolls (I will be thinking about these for the rest of my life.) Incredible. Beach also had a French toast casserole that was amazing.
We made our way back to the car and sped down to our next activity. (By the way, parking in Nashville absolutely sucks. It is SO expensive. Sometimes we were paying $50 for a couple of hours!!! I’d try to plan that out better next time, but WOW.) We went to Paddywax Candles for a custom candle pouring experience. The first step is choosing a vessel for your candle, and there are too many gorgeous choices. I had the hardest time, but I went with a blue and white checkered one. Beach did a cowboy boot, and Kena did a dark green glass oval shape. Then you pick your scent, and I went with a Wisteria + Willow. I chose a blue color for my wax to match the vessel, and then mixed the color in with the scent and hot wax. I put my wick in the jar, and then poured the candle! It was easy and fun, and then we had to leave them there to dry. Luckily, Kena wasn’t leaving until the next day, so she could come back to get them. Paddywax also had a little boutique, with so much great stuff. It was hard to resist!
Then we had some final time to kill before the airport, and we had planned to do a mural tour. Nashville is full of mural walls, and great photo ops, so we figured we could see as many of them as possible before we needed to head to the airport. We started out by visiting The Graduate hotel, and White Limozeen! The Graduate is the CUTEST hotel, all Dolly Parton themed. We wanted to stay there, but it was crazy expensive, and we figured our money was better spent on activities. But we still wanted to visit. The ground floor was adorable - floral wallpaper, southern gowns as chandelier lights, couches for lounging… I loved it all. Then we went up to White Limozeen, which is the rooftop bar and restaurant. We tried to get reservations there, but it’s very small and very popular, so we were not successful. The patio has a black and white checkered floor, but everything else is PINK. It feels like Barbie-world. There is a statue of Dolly Parton’s head made out of pink chicken wire, pink umbrellas, pink couches, and a small pool you can reserve for the day. I loved it.
We had time for one more, and Beach chose the “Nashville Looks Good on You” wall in the Gulch. We drove out there, found it pretty quickly, and got our pictures. And that was it! Time to head back to the airport, after a whirlwind of a weekend. Kena dropped us off, and then Beach and I changed into comfortable clothes, got checked in, and went to find our gate. We got the bad news that our flight was quite delayed, and that we’d be missing our connection to SLC as a result. Everyone got in line to try to re-book or find other options, but I had gotten a text from Delta letting me know I could look for other flights on my own. I ended up finding a direct flight to SLC leaving an hour later, and if we took that one, we’d end up getting home two hours earlier than we would have! So everything worked out for the best.
I was limping around pretty bad at this point, since putting on my slides made my foot feel even worse, so we found a place for dinner and just hung out there until boarding. The flight home wasn’t comfortable, especially since we were wearing our custom cowboy hats home so they wouldn’t get squished, and it was inconvenient for sure. But it’s alright, it wasn’t too long.
I think we pulled off a super fun weekend for Beach, and I had a blast too! Long live cowgirls!
