Event Alert- 4th Annual Kissing for Toys from Xclusively Kissed

One week to go until the 4th Annual Kissing for Toys Benefit Tasting and this is one event I am beyond excited for!!!
I have worked with Chef X of Xclusively Kissed at several events over the years. When I asked her to work with me on a show a few years ago she committed to it immediately and beyond impressed me and everyone there with her work. Since then she and her brand have grown even better working with professionals, using amazing displays and knowing the importance of protecting her brand in addition to just being an amazing chef.
Last year she asked me to host her annual Mother's Day Brunch and it was a beautiful honor. Held on the river in downtown Jax the food was exquisite with live performances and she gifted the mothers there with a tea cup set to take home. My husband and I were asked to come out as guests to her Father's Day Dinner as well and he hasn't stopped talking about Xclusively Kissed food yet. I reached out to her a few months back and offered to assist her with any upcoming projects she had and she mentioned her annual benefit tasting so I jumped on board.
Each year Chef X holds this Xclusive Tasting for the next year's menu only opening the event up to a limited number of people. The night is filled with entertainment, delicious food and usually she packs in a few surprises as well. The proceeds are then used to fund her annual Need One, Feed One Mission, feeding the homeless on Christmas Day and toys collected are given to underprivileged children in the Jax community. So not only is it a fun night, but it's a night full of PURPOSE!
I assisted Chef the last few weeks in locking in the entertainment as well as the location of Manifest Distilling and finding a few awesome sponsors like Digital Miss Designs and Los2k Films. I will not be hosting this event as I will be busy helping her day of the event and playing the role of event coordinator but there will be some interviews from hubby and I as well as lots of pics and videos from the night that you guys can look forward to checking out here and our social media pages so make sure you have subscribed to my blog and are following hubby and I on our pages (links below) to stay updated! There will be live performances from Chris Williams, Kia Nicole, Terry T. Harris and will be hosted by MissEP_Ciara.
Last check there were only 5 tickets left so I am positive this event will book out before the day of the event so if you didn't get your tickets for this year, make sure you get them next year because this is one Chef who sells out events and you don't want to miss her food or the good times that's included! Follow her Instagram & Twitter pages for info on upcoming events or how to book her for your private event and stay tuned for the follow up!
Much Love,

Baecation at Sunrise Painting

Have you ever heard a song and just saw a visual in your mind as you listened? During the COVID 19 Pandemic I have found myself painting even more. Having created my whole life I'd never painted actual paintings on canvas. My medium has primarily been wood and glass, learning as I go with no real teachings from anyone other than hours and hours of playing with my Gramma's paints or watching my Mom draw. When painting my first canvas piece of a sunrise last year I immediately knew I needed to paint more on canvas. I grew up at a time where music videos were EVERYTHING. The effects, guest appearances and story lines mattered. When most songs from my teen years start playing I immediately see the video in my head and think back to what was happening in my life at that time and the impacts the music and more made on me. That's what art does. It comes in so many forms but it is always a part of the times. After painting that first canvas I was riding in the car one day and th

One Spark: The First Day

Yesterday was everything I had hoped it would be and more... Being in a city so big and so spread out I have seen on countless occasions some amazing events that weren't packed out as they should be. I was excited about today, I told all my friends, shared it on twitter, fb, instagram and more. I'd have whole conversations with complete strangers all the time about what One Spark is and what it means for our city. I checked into my shift around 2pm yesterday. There were several familiar volunteers faces that I've met recently on this journey. Everyone was getting situated and sent to their destinations, they were all smiling, excited and eager to help. Everyone has that buzz, that feeling that this is something awesome for us all and we are all thrilled to be a part of the very 1st one ever. I ended up manning the video camera for Kinnetic in front of the Hemming Plaza Pitch Deck which was also where the opening celebration took place. Several creators took to the stage to

Gluten-Free on I-95

I love traveling.. road trips, flying and even by boat. I just love to go. I didn't travel a lot as a kid.. Until I was 10 the only states I'd been to were my home state of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and Washington DC. By the time I'd graduated I had added North Carolina and Kentucky. I live in Florida now but my first time here was in 2002 and at 38 years of age I have only added South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, New York (airport only) and Connecticut to the list as well as The Bahamas (Freeport) and Cuba. I still have a million places I want to go.. Now though it's all a bit trickier because of my allergies.. I have been diagnosed as allergic to gluten, cats, pine trees and a few other things. I seem to have reactions to other things and need to be tested for more in addition to other health issues I have that food can complicate. This makes traveling HARD. I have to be careful at every place I go.. eating at events is completely out of the qu
