National Wine Day and National Margarita Day, two of our favorite days of the year, just happen to fall in February so we are celebrating all month long… with drinks, of course! Grab your decanter and turn on the blender, it’s time for your Friday Five.
But First… It’s Time to Freshen Up Your Look & Drink Some Bubbly ????
Valentine’s Day may be over but we are still showing you the love by giving away two things that we love – a blowout from Salon Veritas and a bottle of bubbles from the gals at Raleigh Weekend. No one enjoys washing their hair, styling their hair, or buying products. This is why we opt to take the easy way out with the Blowout Package from our girl and owner of Salon Veritas, Ashley McCauley. Take a look around her lovely salon to see the many ways they are staying safe during this time. Learn more and register to win before February 28.
Did You Miss National Wine Day?
National Wine Day was Thursday, February 18, but no need to wine if you missed out! It’s always a good day to enjoy a glass… or a bottle of wine… at Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar!
Sunday, Feb. 21: Sunday Funday Adoption Event at Killjoy
Is there anything better than dogs and cocktails? Head to Killjoy on Sunday, February 21, for an afternoon of fun, delicious craft cocktails, and adorable dogs with Cause for Paws!
Sunday, Feb. 21: Drag Me to the Garden, Drag Brunch
Raleigh Beer Garden is hosting their first-ever Drag Brunch! Get ready for an afternoon of Queens, music, drinks, and food! Tickets are sold by the table, not per person. Each guest gets one drink included with the purchase of the ticket. The brunch menu is available before, during, and after the show. Purchase your tickets online.
“If Life Gives You Limes, Make Margaritas” – Jimmy Buffett
National Margarita Day is not until Monday, February 22, but we think you should get the fun started early. Our friends at Dram & Draught make the best margaritas so we recommend stopping by this weekend to have their bartenders mix one up for you. Not comfortable venturing out yet, try your hand at making them at home with a little help from Dram & Draught’s co-founder, Kevin Barrett.
It’s Probably Time for a New Headshot…
Are you still using a selfie or bar photo for your LinkedIn profile picture? It’s time for a new headshot and why not raise a little money for a good cause while you are at it? Donate to Activate Good and schedule a professional photo or headshot session through their new fundraising campaign, Headshots for Good!
Friday Five: We’ve Got a Crush ????
We have a crush, well really, five of them… If you are looking for plans for this weekend, here’s what we are loving right now. Grab a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine, it’s time for your Friday Five.
