Bonjour! As I write this I am escaping rainy Paris and heading to Nice with Kev. We had a really great stay but, after three consecutive days of pouring rain were ready for some much needed sunshine! In this post I mentioned that we were packing light, and boy am I glad we did.

What do you get when you cross a landmark hotel with one tasty bourbon brand? The Marriott Bourbon Battle of course! I’m so excited to finally be able to share with you what I’ve been dropping hints about all month. During our stay in Kentucky, we had the pleasure of experiencing the kick-off of what will be a five-city tour to crown the ultimate bourbon cocktail craftsman. As a bourbon lover and general cocktail connoisseur (as in consumer)  seeing the four contestants battle to create the ‘top cocktail’ was an absolute blast!

This week I’m sharing photos from our trip with Marriott to Kenneland for Maker’s Mark 46 Mile. We ended up going to the racetrack the last day we were there and it couldn’t have been a better send-off to a great press trip.

This week couldn’t be more different to the last, so I wanted to share a little peek into the Bourbon Battle held by Marriott Hotel’s Griffith Gate and Maker’s Mark. No stranger to bourbon I jumped at the chance to attend the release and debut of Maker’s Mark flights.

A recap of our weekend away at Bottlerock Napa Valley!

After endless shows and a weekend in the desert I'm finally back in the bay! What a weekend, seriously I'm pooped but, it was so completely worth it! Going down I wasn't quite sure what to expect, since this was my first Coachella experience I didn't want to get my hopes up. It truly was an incredible experience, and much more chill than what I had originally expected.
