Ideas for Your Next Girls Weekend: Nashville, TN

February 20, 2020

I’ve been to Nashville twice now, once a few years back when my good friends were running a marathon. Since then I have been itching to go back. I’ve always thought Nashville would be the best place for a girls’ weekend. It’s got something for every and it’s a short flight from both coasts. However every time I brought it up to friends someone always had something to do so it just never happened. Until now. Blogland can be a lonely isolating place so when you find your tribe you stick with it. Katie created a group for bloggers to connect in. And she thought it would be cool to plan something where a lot of us could finally meet up. And so we did. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. Connection. Laughs. And a ton of food. I wanted to recap it for you, if you’re heading to Nashville these are the musts on my list!

WHERE TO STAY ||

LOEWS VANDERBILT HOTEL NASHVILLE

The Loews Nashville was an absolutely beautiful space. The subtle hints of country music memorabilia were just the vibe to make this feel like home for me. It’s just outside the city center to get that little bit of peace you might need after walking Broadway and it’s just a short ride to downtown or to any of the cute little neighborhoods all over Nashville, like The Gulch. This was my first time in this hotel but it’s not my first time at a Loews, the Philadelphia hotel is my favorite spot for a staycation. The rooms are always gorgeous, the room service is a 10/10, the robes are the comfiest, and the best part is the customer service. They truly go above and beyond. From getting you into your room ASAP to ensuring you know the best spots to eat, the Loews family does it the best.

PARTY FOWL NASHVILLE 

The atmosphere here was so cool! Party Fowl offers diners a one-of-a-kind experience from hot chicken to cold drinks. Seriously the hot chicken sandwich with poultry-geist (try if you dare!) was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life! If you’re wanting to know what Nashville Hot Chicken is all about, this is the place to go! 

MAKEREADY NASHVILLE

We had an absolutely delicious dinner at Makeready! Located on the ground floor of Noelle, Makeready offers a seasonal approach to American tavern cuisine. There’s also a secret bar so be sure to be on the lookout for that! 

FGL HOUSE

I had the best “nachos” in my entire life here. Seriously, if you’re in Nashville you need to head straight for the Dirty Kettle Chips before you do anything else. They were amazing. They also have an awesome rooftop deck with great city views!

WILDHORSE SALOON

While this is the best place to go for line dancing in Nashville, they also have some amazing food. These fried pickles will be in my top 5 forever and ever. 

FROTHY MONKEY 

If you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast, head over to the Frothy Monkey! I had the farm breakfast and the bacon was to die for! The 12South location makes it easy to head out and shop at all the cute boutiques Nashville has to offer as well!

BURGER REPUBLIC 

Ok if you haven’t noticed I have a thing for fried food. The fried pickles and peppers at Burger Republic were amazing and the burger was something I’ll definitely go back for. They were voted the best burgers in Nashville but honestly, they’re maybe in my top 3 of all burgers ever. 

WHAT TO DO || 

NIGHTLIFE 

If you’re looking for a good time paired with all the dancing your heart desires? Head to Broadway for all the honky-tonks a girl could want! We skipped around from Tootsies, to Wildhorse, and ended our night on the top floor at The Stage. I lost the contact from my left eye and my voice but somehow managed to keep my dignity LOL. It was a blast and I truly can’t wait to go back.

PHOTO-OPS

We went hunting for all the best murals Nashville had to offer and stumbled upon Off The Wall Nashville, it’s a collection of murals on Charlotte Ave and we did what bloggers do best and shot so much content, seriously, I could post photos from Nashville for the next three months. 

ART

Head to the Frist Art Museum if you’re looking to experience something a bit more laid back! 

SHOPPING

The 12South area of Nashville had everything from seersucker everything in Draper James to cute little vintage boutiques, all within walking distance of one another! Same with the Gulch neighborhood, som many shopping spots!

MUSIC 

Nashville is the mecca for some of the most talented people I have ever laid eyes on. We caught Haley Vaughn performing at The Stage and this girl could belt out everything from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Lizzo. We also were lucky enough to have a private rooftop concert with Menna, and while that may be something you can’t experience, you can definitely stream her songs on Spotify. Her voice is magical and her words left me in tears, the good kind. I’ve listened to her song Ride every day since hearing it for the first time. Check her out.

MAKE YOUR OWN GOO GOO CLUSTER 

Now you might be asking what the heck a Goo Goo Cluster is, I definitely did! It’s basically candy! They’re made with real milk chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and marshmallow nougat! We got to make our own at the Goo Goo shop on 3rd Ave! When creating your own cluster, you get to pick 2 “Sweets” (things like bourbon salted caramel and Nutella), up to three fillings (things like potato chips, fruity pebbles, and rainbow sprinkles). They were SO delicious! I brought some of the originals home to Jim and he agrees! 

GET PIERCED

What experience bonds girls together like a group outing for nose piercings? We hit up Adeline Roz in Printers Alley for ours!

Nashville was truly one of my favorite spots to visit and I can’t wait to head back!!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
