One thing about me is that I avoid paying full price for anything. I’m always on the hunt for a coupon, a sale, or a giveaway. Is it a way for me to justify my shopping addiction? Maybe, but I’m literally just a girl. 🤷🏻‍♀️

In case we’re cut from the same cloth, the Nashville Flea Market is calling us. “Back to Bargains” hits the Nashville Fairgrounds August 21–23 with hundreds of vendors selling antiques, vintage finds, clothes, handmade goods, and more. And if you need even more of an excuse to treasure hunt, admission is free, and you can enter to win free parking.*

LOCAL’S LIST: ESPRESSO MARTINIS

One of my husband's and my favorite things to do together is try new espresso martinis all over Nashville. We have a whole rating system (taste, value, presentation, vibes of the bar/restaurant), and even started an espresso martini Instagram account so our friends and family could follow along. 

We don't consider ourselves experts yet, but I wanted to share the spots we typically recommend. 

TONIGHT

LOCALS ONLY

• Nashville city’s Choose How You Move program just announced a $100 million investment in sidewalks, transit, traffic signals, safety improvements, and major corridors. Getting around Nashville could (finally) be getting a little easier. 🙌

• A recent sighting of Tennessee’s largest and most dangerous venomous snake at Percy Warner Park is your friendly reminder to watch where you step, especially if you’ve got little ones or four-legged friends along for the hike. ⚠️
