Something Blue | Evansville, IN Wedding Shower

Planning a Wedding can be stressful.

Looking back, this shower could have defininetly been the wedding. We had everything we needed. All the people we loved, our dog and great food.

If you are looking to make your life a bit easier here is your list of things/professionals to use for your shower or micro wedding.

Myriad Brewing Company $500 for 4 hrs, we tapped the bar at $500
La Campinara - we did a taco bar $400
Photographer - Nichole Davis Photography, I believe we had her for 3 hrs $350
Decor - Simply Yours Events did a great job and by the end of it was about $1000
My veil $1800, planned to wear for the wedding as well from House of White
Dress- Express, less than $40, shoes payless $30
Music - personal favor, but I believe Casey Williams is about $100 an hr.

Dessert bar, my friends gifted, I’m assuming it was about $250. The friends, priceless.


What’s been your sticking point so far in wedding planning?

They followed up the first resturant with 2nd Language an asian fusion resturant that also is 5 stars.

We are so lucky they are blessing us with another experience. Pangea Pizzeria has now opened! I popped in for lunch with a friend, luckily for me it’s a short walk away from The Beauty Room.

For my inaugural order, I went with a couple slices from their “slice of the day” menu. 

I got the Pistachio - House pistachio puree, sausage, mozzarella blend, fresh basil, finished with house Calabrian chili honey. Fun Guy - House mushroom cream sauce, fresh mozzarella blend, roasted shiitake mushrooms, finished with grated parmesan, fresh basil, and garlic-infused olive oil.

Along with a Butterscotch Blondie. I did go back and get the CCC gelato. All of them are exactly how I would expect anything coming from this company, thoughtfully made. All the flavors play nicely with each other. 

Menu from Pangea Pizzeria

I left feeling so full, you definitely can’t beat a $5 dollar lunch these days. You can get the pizza by the slice (fairly big slices) or an 16/18 inch pizza. The full pizzas range from $22- $29.

I miss tha patisserie that used to be in here, but the vibe of a pizzeria where you can see the pizzas being made, big open windows to see the city and quaint seating was truly such a good fit for the space.

Once you head in and give it a try II would love to hear your thoughts on what’s your favorite below!

Myriad Coffee House | Newburgh, IN

If you’re new here, please know I’m always going to find a cute place to live out my main character arc. Did I just ruin my own life and contemplating it all? Am I a struggling artist trying to pour my heart into the next big project? Am i a corporate baddie pushing through fears aof starting entreprenuership?

Coffee shops really are a place for all people at all stages of life. Perfect movie-esqe backdrop.

When I saw that Myriad Brewery Comany had expanded into Newburgh and added a coffee house I was so excited! My budget, not as much, since now we will be there all day.

We’ve always enjoyed our time at Myriad Brewery Company ,but since getting Ziki (our dog) we’ve loved it even more since they are a dog-friendly bar.

Ziki and I finally got down to Newburgh to this morning to do a bit of catch up work. We bumped into the cutie pie owners and chatted for a bit. Honestly, aside from it being a cute place, it feels so good to support such good people. They were a hughe help to the relaunch of the Black Chamber of Commerce in 2020 and really have created a space for all walks of life.

The coffee flights I’d been seeing are what drew me in, but I could not do it on my own (4 (5oz) pours) so going to save that for a day date with the bae. I ended up with an iced vanilla latte with a dash of coconut and a blueberry muffin. I enjoyed both of them and wll be back to try more. They have hot lattes, teas and milk alternatives. Very important for my 30+ crowd.

If you like a quite place for computer work or a nice place to read while you have your coffee give them a try. The seating is nice for groups, but there is also places to duck off in a corner if you’re alone. The patio wraps around and has FANS like every outdoor space should. If you’re feeling spicy go closer to 5 pm and you can go straight from coffee to an ice cold beer.

Sounds like the best of both worlds! In additon to already being a pretty cool spot they have food trucks all the time. Give them a follow and plan your next visit.

Failure to Launch | & Other Musings Around My Travels

I think my true lust for “escaping” Evansville started about 2 years ago on my road trip to LA for a dear friend’s wedding. I took the whole month of June off in 2016 which now seems very ironic as I find myself ending this journey in the same month this year.
