When I was working in Centerville, I often passed Bagel Cafe and I loved stopping in for lox and egg on a bagel. It made the best lunch in the world and I would get their biggest coffee possible. The place needed some love though because it always looked in disrepair – cushions ripped, [...]
My friend, Megan, and I go to a lot of brunches and the calorie count can really climb up there at traditional brunch places. To detox a little, we enjoy the fresh, locally sourced food at Olive, an Urban Dive. It might actually be our [...]
I pass this little restaurant every once in a while and always make a mental note to stop in but it seems to escape me more often than not. One weekend my husband and I remembered and made it over to The Brunch Club to fill up on yummy breakfast food.
On a very nice day in February, my husband and I had President’s Day to ourselves and decided to get brunch at Butter Cafe followed by a walk at Woodland Cemetery.
Butter Cafe started serving mimosas and other sparkling breakfast drinks and I’m so happy they did! Nothing goes better with a [...]
After a morning at the salon going from blonde to brunette, I met my mom and sister for a big brunch at Olive, an Urban Dive. Since I didn’t know when I’d be done at the salon, we couldn’t make reservations so we had to wait at Olive for a bit so [...]
One weekend, my sister and our friends Kayleigh and Jeff went to Lucky’s Taproom & Eatery for brunch and it was exactly what I was hoping for. I was hoping that like their normal menu there would be vegan options alongside more traditional dishes. Not only did they have a vegan meal – [...]
When my husband, sister, and I lived on South Brown School Road, we ate at Bunker’s at least once a week if not more. It’s one of the things I miss the most about Vandalia and I’m sad when we don’t get out there at least every once in a while.
Since it was my birthday, Megan agreed to come with me to try the brunch menu at The Trolley Stop. We both agreed that any place with a mimosa bar is probably a safe bet.
The food is really good and the prices are definitely reasonable. I especially loved that [...]
When you have a relatively clean kitchen and don’t want to ruin it, the best idea is to let the pots and pans stay shiny by going out to Sunday brunch. This was the plan for my husband and I this past weekend and we decided to try Blind Bob’s in the [...]
Halloween Gel Manicure
Hosting a party is serious business and normal nail polish just wouldn’t cut it with all the scrubbing going on at my house. I knew I would need something stronger so I went to Luxury Nail Spa in Vandalia and got a gel manicure with black for the base and [...]
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.
