Ashley Hesseltine I am thrilled to announce another Witty + Pretty contributor, Lillian Charles! She has her own wardrobe consulting and styling biz, works at Lululemon (read: her fitness gear collection is to-die-for), and runs around town looking fab and inspiring and supporting other women (we actually met after one of Cara’s Flywheel classes, in which I … Read more
Who let the dogs out? An EPIC SONG from the Baha Men, one of the greatest bands of all times except Wilson Phillips. Speaking of dogs and men from Baha, I am a true animal expert. My love of the animal kingdom led me to study pre-vet at Auburn University where, after two attempts, I … Read more
Let me open up to you guys for a sec. (Don’t worry; I’m not going to cry.) Working for yourself is undeniably awesome in a lot of ways and it was the number one thing I wanted in my career: The freedom, no asshole bosses, vacations when you want, working in pajamas (or nothing at … Read more
Health/fitness expert Cara Weaver is back and I LOVE what she is about to share. For one, she is going to explain HOW THE HELL to make a kale salad. I often get the kale salads at Whole Foods, but when I buy the greeny goodness and try to whip one up at home, I … Read more
If you’re anything like me, nothing motivates you for a workout like good music (and alcohol on the other side). W+P health and fitness expert (and secret DJ) Cara, has curated a badass list of tunes (I added a few, too) to get you through that run/spin class/P90X/Prancercise session. Start listening and you just might get … Read more
Hold onto your boxer briefs because this one is for the fellas! Remember a few weeks ago when we were on Q100’s The Bert Show women’s panel answering all the burning questions guys wanted to know about sex, self-sex, and more sex? Well (shockingly) they asked us back. The same crew—me, Cara (W+P health/fitness expert), … Read more
Here we go again. Let’s see if I can discuss bikini-area hair removal with some sort of tact. About a month ago, Atlanta got its first sugaring salon, Sweet Peach Wax & Sugaring Studio, and I let the owner, Raquel, pour some sugar on me. Okay, so it was more like smoothing some sugar on me and … Read more
Once, I bought a papaya at a fruit stand in NYC, got it back to my friend’s apartment, and was like, “Ok, now what?” I ended up eating a few bites by the spoonful, then trading it in for a liquid (read: wine) snack instead. But thanks to our health/fitness expert and food whisperer Cara, … Read more
Happy almost-holiday, leprechaun lovers! I’m heading to Charleston this weekend for my college bestie’s 30th (and one helluva St. Patty’s street party on Sullivan’s Island), so I’m reposting the guest blog I did on my BFF (blogger friend forever) Becky’s rad site, The Pumpkin Spot, because I have more pressing matters at the moment than … Read more
I have so passionately despised the Atlanta cab system for the entire eight years (omg, I’m old) that I’ve lived in this city. Not only are they the most expensive cabs in the country (besides like, Hawaii or something), but for the most part, the cab drivers are rude, corrupt a-holes. To know me is … Read more
