Keeping it real & honest when it comes to life, style, beauty, food & travel
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I figured I'd do a blog post on love. Love is such a big word. There's so many iterations to it's meaning, how it's received and how it's given. For this post I'm going to focus on tough love. I attribute a lot of the positive parts of who [...]
Happy Monday friends! Typically, I do my grocery shopping on Sunday's and for the most part, I shop only at Trader Joe's. This post is solely about Trader Joe's products so if you don't do your grocery shopping there, maybe this will inspire you to take a trip! In true Katie fashion, I need to [...]
Ironic that I just finished watching Love on the Spectrum and now started Indian Matchmaking as I'm writing a post on dating? Eh, not really now that I think about it but highly recommend them both! Prior to writing this post I googled "dating during quarantine." I was curious to see what has already been [...]
As I write this blog post I'm sitting on my front patio with sweat dripping #thanksDMVhumudity. Ohhh, the beauty of summertime. Summer is typically my favorite and busiest time of year. Between beach trips, country concerts, visits to see friends, making sure I'm tanning at any point in time, rooftop bars and outdoor brunches, I [...]
First, I hope you all like the new and improved blog. It's been a super fun quarantine project as I've worked to "rebrand" to something that will hopefully allow me to share beyond my twenties :). Again, I want to emphasize that my new title, Spill the Katie, is to allude to what I've always [...]
I try to keep what I write about pretty positive, because that's the type of person I am. I'm also not one to get super vulnerable on here because it's scary. But, as I enter into my late twenties, I figured why not open up? I've got nothing to hide. I also realize I'm not [...]
"One up, one down," is the ECU student-led fan group chant at the baseball games after the Pirates get an out. I find myself now starting to say this every week that comes and goes during quarantine. Anyways, I'm not here to talk about ECU baseball chants but something completely opposite: beauty and skincare! A [...]
Hi friends! How is everyone holding up? I hope you all are staying healthy and sane. It's crazy to think we've been doing this whole quarantine thing for two months now... My quarantine has consisted of copious amounts of Netflix and Hulu binging, working, working out, pretending to become a Tik Tok star and eating. [...]
Hi friends! I understand it's an ironic time to be positing about a topic that involves gathering with groups of people during a time when you can't gather with more than ten and even then should be keeping a six foot distance. But, I'm hopeful that this too shall pass and we will we get [...]
This past weekend three of my best friends from college, Lisa, Emily, Christine, and I went on our quarterly girls trip. These weekends have become something I truly treasure, and something I stay looking forward too. The four of us lived together senior year of college and since graduating have been able to plan a [...]
Hi! Happy Friday! I wanted to write about something fun (get the hint?) this week given my last couple posts have been a little more “serious”. I will warn you that this is probably tailored more towards females, but hey I’m not going to discriminate! Plus, the holidays are quickly approaching ladies and gentleman so [...]
"Don't judge by appearances. Judge what is right"-John 7:23 I came across this verse last night and hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't help but think to myself how applicable this verse is to many life situations and how I can and need to incorporate it into my thought process for many [...]
I find it so ironic that my last blog post is about progress towards my resolutions, one of which is to keep up with this blog better and now it's been almost 6 months since I've posted...whoops! But, I wanted my revival to be on a topic that's honestly one that I try not to [...]
Christmas movie on my T.V., Christmas candles burning, my room dimly lit by the garland on my dresser and a sleepy puppy next to my side, these are a few of my favorite things! While 2020 is trying to dampen everyone's Christmas spirit, I refuse to let it rain on mine! Let me start by [...]
