    Late Autumn 2017: Spook

    We both have a soft spot for Halloween, and all things spooky. (Except horror movies: We do NOT like horror movies. Witches, curses, ghosts, all great, but you can keep your jump scares and gore to yourself, thanks.) We love tales of vampire slayers and charmed ones, murder mysteries and sister witches, demogorgons and pumpkin…

    Cocktails for Your Coven: Madame Leota’s Magic Potion

    Well lovely readers, it’s that time of year again — the best time of year — when the crisp air creates just enough chill to spook us all a little bit. And when October rolls around, us Kentucky girls like to channel our inner mountain witches and cook up some potions to ease our ills. My…

  • October Round Up

    October Round Up

    We’re so glad we live in a world with Octobers — the month of changing leaves and freshly picked apples, cozy evenings and crisp walks, birthdays and bourbon and hot lattes (pumpkin spiced or otherwise). October is our favorite, and our only complaint is that this one flew by way too quickly, in a haze…

    Down With Our Pumpkin Overlords

    Everyone has that one thing that they don’t like that everyone else can’t seem to understand. For my roommate, Steph, that thing is bananas. She doesn’t understand why people feel the need to put bananas in bread, flavor candy with their abhorrent presence, or ruin ice cream with their potassium-filled yellowness. How Steph feels about…

    October Playlist: Darker Than a Georgia Night With a Heavy Heart

    We love October — the leaves crunching beneath our feet, the crisp air, the lattes, the onset of sweater weather. But our favorite bit of October? Halloween. October is the month of ghosts, of witches, of deals with the devil. The South in particular has a history with haunting, and so our soundtrack to this…

  • October Round Up

    October Round Up

    Hey Folks! Another month, another whirlwind of crazy blogging adventures! We’re honestly quite baffled by where October went, but the calendar doesn’t lie, and so we find ourselves already hurtling into November. October was a busy month for the Z&S ladies: Scout turned 25 (she’d rather not discuss it), Zelda hit the road for a…

    October Playlist: Drizzly Morning, 3 a.m.

    Don’t you just love New York in the fall? While it does put us in the mood to buy school supplies, those drizzly October evenings can get us feeling a bit melancholy and nostalgic, wistful for days past or for dreams still unrealized. When it’s 3 a.m. and sleep is nowhere in sight, sometimes all…
