I was recently on Living Dayton in the Cooking with Sallie segment with a great recipe for lentil soup from Hope Springs Institute’s cookbook. Take a look:

Here are some of the prettiest flowers ever, taken on walks with my husband and doggie. It’s such a beautiful time of year!
That’s right, Girl About Town has been around for 2 years now! It’s really something to be able to write about the city I love and to get such great feedback for doing so. Thank you so much for reading Girl About Town and telling your friends!
I found this picture in my [...]
These are the best, aren’t they?
Yes, I made varsity. No, I didn’t remember that I did until I dug this out of a box at my mom’s house. It’s sort of bittersweet because I’m from Vandalia-Butler High School and I’m starting to think they won’t even have a choir here pretty [...]
I think 500 posts is something to celebrate so I thought I would invest in the Girl About Town shade of MAC Lipglass and this pretty shade of fuchsia is fast becoming my favorite go-to look this spring (I know, what spring?).
Thank you to every person who regularly reads my blog and all of [...]
Mini backpacks, midriff tops, butterfly clips, Furbies - I’m just saying what we’re all thinking – The 1990s are definitely coming back whether we like it or not.

Ok, I know you probably think I’m going overboard now that I’m recommending a car wash, but seriously, Butler Auto Bath is the best car wash ever.
My favorite thing about them is that they wash it by hand first with long brushes. When I was living at an apartment building that [...]
I feel sorry for voters in non-swing states because it has to be a little less exciting. Living in Ohio really makes you feel special come Election Day since the candidates have had to spend so much time and money campaigning here and the pundits can’t stop talking about you. I for one love the [...]
This weekend, I decided to finally respond to one of the 100s of calls I get asking me to volunteer to help re-elect President Obama. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I showed up that morning but it ended up being a lot of fun. While making my calls, I spoke to a number [...]
Welcome!
I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 26 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else. I started this blog as a way to showcase the best of Dayton (as seen through my perspective) and also to share some of the things that occupy space in my mind, namely beauty, home decor, quotes, and various aspects of my life.
