  • Event Announcement! Meet Up @ Kabab Grille

    Hey bloggers!

    Come join the Virginia Bloggers at Kabab Grille in Richmond on August 4th at 1:00 PM for a #VAis4Bloggers meet-up, where we will feast on authentic halal Pakistani (Punjabi) dishes prepared especially for us by the creative, and award-winning kitchen.

    Kabab Grille has offered us a 50% discount ($5.75 for everything except drinks) on an array of menu items that will be served to us family style, as well as the opportunity to sample more of what we’ve tasted—or entirely different dishes altogether—from the impressive lunch buffet.

    In addition to the ever-changing buffet menu, some of the dishes prepared exclusively for us will be Chicken Tandori Kababs, Goat Curry, Channa Masala, Tofu Jalfrezzi, Tandori Naan, Chicken Curry, and assorted Basmati rices. Vegetable dishes will rotate throughout the day, but may include Baingan Bharta (eggplant), zucchini, and Daal Tarka (lentils).

    And of course, let’s not forget the real reason I’m going to be there: Halwah, a saffron-and-pistachio infused cream of wheat dessert that I first tasted at the Richmond Vegetarian Festival and subsequently had a near- foodie heaven experience.

    Please RSVP to virginiabloggers@gmail.com if you can make it!

    [For directions, please visit Kabab Grille’s website.] You can also check out their Facebook page here!

    Hope to see you there!

  • Thursday Feature: Blogger Blitz

    Hi VA Bloggers! I’m Eliza + I’m the voice behind Case Study, a blog about my life as a newlywed + soon-to-be grad student. I talk about being married, post little bits of inspiration, and share stories and pictures to document the seasons of my life. You’ll find gluten-free recipes, giveaways, and some fashion inspiration as well as a new series about taking care of yourself that debuted this month! I hope you’ll stop by and say hello 🙂
    I’m pretty confident that if you read my blog, you also read Alison’s blog. Because really, who doesn’t keep up with Long Distance Loving? I’ve been reading Alison’s blog for over a year now + finally got to meet her in person at Blogger Blitz DC Sunday night! She’s just as sweet + charismatic in person as I had expected and I think the blitz was a major success. 🙂
    I met up with Kate for a quick metro ride into the city, enjoyed meeting several beautiful bloggers that I’ve “known” for quite some time including Alison + Megan + Jenna, and spent two fun hours chatting with so many new-to-me bloggers like Erika + Natalie + Jayme + Mendi + Cara + Emily. Two hours of drinks + great conversation passed quickly and now that I’m settled at home I’m excited to go through the blogger directory and explore new blogs!
    One last thank you to Alison for hosting a fabulous blogger blitz!! 🙂

    My friend Emily introduced me to this drink months ago and they’ve been a weekend staple in our house ever since 😉 I hope you pin this recipe, make this drink, and come back to tell me how good they were!!
    Beergaritas are cold + refreshing + perfect for summer. A salted glass + lime wedges would really jazz this drink up 🙂 Make up a pitcher + stick it in the fridge – they’re best icy cold!

  • Fashionista for a Day

    I wonder if it was obvious when I walked in, that I’m not a fashion blogger. (Probably.) Thankfully, everyone was so nice they didn’t call me out on it. 😉

    While I’m not much of a fashion blogger, I am someone who enjoys meeting other local bloggers around the area!

    Larissa, the organizer of RVA Fashion Bloggers (and the brains behind From the Runway to RVA) allowed me to come to the meet up, even though I’m not really a fashion blogger. I was so excited to meet some amazing local bloggers! (And I finally got to meet Leney from A Girl Named Leney! Remember her awesome guest post about one of the RVA Fashion Week Events?)

    So what goes on at a fashion blogger meet up? Lots of laughing, and lots of picture taking! (I could totally get used to this.)

    It’s fun being somewhere where carrying a DSLR around is totally normal.

    It’s a little blurry, but you get the point! (Somehow, I don’t have a picture of Tori, but she’s adorable!)

    I’m excited to add some fashion events to our events page, and expand our blogroll with some new local faces! Make sure you check back regularly for event announcements!

    Any fashion bloggers out there?
