The World Needs More Wine Hashtags

FIRST THING IS FIRST. I hit 1,000 followers on the gram so Elle Talk + I are celebrating with a giveaway on said gram. Then we got to talking about how there isn't a list of boozy hashtags. Now, two of my favorite parts about hashtags are that they help you group your pictures together and they bring people of like activities together. SO here I am, with some of my favorite boozy hashtags. 

I just discovered this one yesterday -- #yeswayrose HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THAT? (side note, I have that thought a lot. beer koozies, insulated stemless wine glasses with lids, the likes..)

I honestly started this as a post for boozy hashtags, but I've decided to focus on wine this time. Halfway through... Because you know what that's how blogging works. I've decided that there should be more than one so we can focus on the best kinds of booze and you guys can help me find more! Since we're focused on wine, I also love #winenot

Last but certainly not least, #lemmewineaboutit -- I'm not sure I want to share, because it's currently exclusively my wine photos. I guess y'all could all join in.

Also, I really wanted to embed the hashtag feeds, why isn't that a thing Instagram? I mean, not that my wine gifs aren't fun, but come on man. ANYWAYS. don't forget to head over to the gram + help me celebrate 1K! Do you have any boozy hashtags I should be using? I was a little disappointed to find there aren't that many yet, maybe we're just in time to start our own! Are you going to join me with #lemmewineaboutit ?? 

Brunch So Hard Mother Truckers Wanna Fine Me

Woah woah woah back-to-back blog posts. Who am I even? Confession, I cannot believe I missed last Wednesday for one. #itwasalonelyone #somanyconfessions 

I am the most excited ever to be going to the Atlanta Steeplechase next weekend. Holla fo a dolla. Or for the VIP party we're going to + the private (air conditioned) bathrooms. That was really the selling point, tbh. #yeahright #butalsotheopenbar #youknowme BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO WEAR. I feel like I need a hat first, dress second, I already have my cowboy boots. What what WHAT should I wear? 

haaaaay

Saturday I ran a 5k for mimosas. and dogwoods. I have been searching for all of the booze related races since then. BUT. I walked 1.5 miles to get to the park/starting line, ran the 5k (40 minutes, PR #getatmetho) then walked the 1.5 miles back home. My biggest mistake was taking a nap. I was then down for the count for the rest of the day. Then my entire body hurt until like. last night... #notfastnotlast #notquitefiteither #didntevenwintheweekendwarriorchallenge #andidid6milesbefore10am

jump man jump man jump man WOO

I confess, I instagrammed what looked like a delicious brunch platter (yes, the budweiser was included..) but man was it dissappointing. What wasn't pictured? The donuts + kickass burger we had before the platter got there. Obviously brunch was a success, but we were super bummed by the chef's choices. Who associates various lettuce wraps with brunch? #gimmemorefriedstuff #allgravyeverything #ANDDONUTS #andmimosasduh

brunch so hard mother truckers wanna fine me

The other day at a fancy dinner place, while waiting on my fancy glass of wine, I drank all of my water. When the waiter came to refill my glass, I apologized. I couldn't even tell you what I apologized for THEN when he said "oh don't worry, you're supposed to drink it!" I APOLOGIZED AGAIN. It's a disease y'all. #sorryallthetime #isittoolatenowtosaysooorrrryyyy 

air bunnies

I DIE. I die at Joey's air bunnies. He's too funny. ANYWAYS. I'm sure more ridiculous things will happen this week, you should follow along on the twitter. I tweet a lot of ridiculous stuff (and alllll the gifs to be honest.) What ridiculous things happened to y'all this week? HEY PS DON'T FORGET THE CAN OF CORN LINKUP TOMORROW. We can pretend the Braves aren't on pace to go 0-162 this year.....................

I Got A Tattoo + It Hurt Really Bad + Other Confessions

If I show up at least once a week, I can still call myself a blogger right? I've been trying to write more but I usually just end up staring at a blank post template because I just can't seem to get started. I can, however, always tell the ridiculous stories that happen to me. So let's just hashtag away! 

First of all, I'm perpetually stuck at 980 Instagram followers. It's obnoxious, because I'll see "3 new followers!" then it will still just be 980. So for those three new ones I lost three. COME ON GUYS. Just let me have 1,000. Pretty please? #cmonman #soclosebutsofar 

If you're not following me on Instagram, which I know isn't the case because y'all are all the bomb.com, you wouldn't know that I went and did a thing on Sunday. I've been talking about getting a tattoo of the stars from the Harry Potter books for easily 10 years. WELL Sunday I finally did it. AND GUYS. it hurt really bad. I didn't cry all the way, but I didn't. So there's that. 

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good ⚡️

I'm sure I've mentioned my inability to successfully go through the grocery store, target, and the likes without forgetting something important, so after rave reviews I decided to add razors to the list of things I would no longer be able to forget at the grocery store. So I signed up for the Dollar Shave Club. Guys. I don't even care that they're supposedly razors designed for men. they show up at my door, they're nicer than the disposable ones I'd been using, and IT IS SIX DOLLARS. SIX. You can adjust it to ship however often you wanna. You can eeeeven use my referral code to sign up right here! #whowearshortshorts #shavesmarter #orsomething

We all know I'm the most coordinated human in the world (literally laughing out loud typing that. I am hilarious.) Well Saturday night I missed a step + slid down the rest at the bar, nothing unusual, I didn't spill my beer which let's be real, is the important part. Today, I noticed a huge bruise on my stomach from not spilling my beer. #bruiselikeapeach #justcallmegrace #clumsy

So that's what's happening in my neck of the woods, what are y'all up to?

Why I Couldn't Be a Bachelor Contestant...

So while watching The Bachelor, we go back + forth on whether or not we could be contestants on this show. Tonight, while watching home towns, I realize that is why I couldn't be on this show. The home town visit. 

So as I'm watching Jojo's mom drink the champagne straight out of the bottle and I thought oh dear lord, my parents would probably have us all in the hot tub taking fireball shots. Could you imagine? it would be such a shit show. It would be hilarious, but it would also be a disaster. So obviously now I want to go to the hometown level of The Bachelor so things can get out of hand..... #iguessicouldfindahusband #itwouldgothesameway #iveneverintroducedthemtoaboy #thatsanotherconfession

source

Another reason I couldn't be on The Bachelor is my ability to get other people to drink more tequila than they can handle. Can you see that? Night one, Kasey gets all of the other houseguests doing tequila shots, it becomes apparent that I'm the only one who can handle the tequila, INSTANT BACHELOR VILLAIN. #onsecondthought #maybeIshouldbeacontestant #Iwouldhavemyownparodyaccount #ITWOULDBEAWESOME

TEQUILA

I admit that I've started digging into what it would take to become a contestant on The Bachelor. Do I have to have a like, real audition? Can my job be "lifestyle blogger"? I know that's not as glamorous as "twin" but whatever. Oh man, how popular would my blog be when people found out it existed? Would I be instantly disqualified when they found this post? #Ihavealotofquestions #pickmeforbachelor21 #forealforeal

I VOLUNTEER

I have a passive aggressive confession here. The other day I tweeted about those people who follow you on instagram, then unfollow you the minute you follow them back. I have an even bigger issue with a select few I have noticed who follow me and unfollow me multiple times. To where I recognize you're instagram handle. What bugs me the most, as petty as this will sound, is that these people have more followers than me. #notcoolrobertfrost #oninstagramstraightflexin #pleasestop

please stop

I'm really super pumped the Braves signed Frenchy to a Minor League deal, I'm sure it's great for ticket sales, but also it means this will surely make a comeback. #onjeffears #thankmelater

That's all I have for today. What kind of Bachelor contestant would you be? Did you cry laughing at Frenchy? I can't deal. Like, that's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. God bless it. 

Okay Google, Who Is "Love Yourself" About?

So, if you follow me on the twitter you know I provide a really cynical, and apparently hilarious, commentary of The Bachelor every week. Obviously while participating in Elle Talk's chat. This week I skipped it for the Grammy's (obviously it was spoiled so I probably won't even watch this week's episode, honestly)

I confess. I cried at all of the tributes. I could not get over how much of a badass Bonnie Raitt is, needed that sparkly black jacket she had on, and got the goosebumps the minute Gaga came on stage. ALSO. Demi Lovato killed it. #shealwayskillsit #sodoesgaga #badassbonnieraitt 

source

Also. Guys. GUYS. how awesome is T. Swift? I love her. I couldn't deal with just HOW pumped she was that Ed Sheeran won, over her, talk about the best kind of gal pal to have. I just dig how genuinely pumped she is for all of her friends. Also ALSO #suckitkanye #girlpower #shakeitoff #hatersgonnahate 

OMG

I had a little panic moment yesterday where I felt stuck then I decided I needed to do something, I went to move all of my furniture around, and then started designing my dream house via pinterest. So completely down the rabbit hole, see ya later. #sopinteresting #kaseysdreamhouse #wheniwinthelottery #orpayoffmystudentloans #whichevercomesfirst #probablythelottery 

With that being said, I'm off to pin ALL OF THE DIY HEADBOARDS! Because I think 27 means I've officially grown out of just a matress and box springs on a bed frame, or something. I just want it to look like I live here and not like it's my college dorm room or something. #grownupbutnot #istillwanttwinklelights #thatstrendyright #right?

TERRIBLE

What's new with you guys? Did you watch the Grammy's? Did anyone stay up for Pitbull's thing? WHY ARE THEY SO LONG?
 

Tardy for the Party

Okay. So we all know I'm behind on the bandwagons a lot. I always have a TiVo delay (side note, it's just DVR, but I always call it TiVo. does TiVo even exist independently anymore? does that make me sound even older than 27?) when I live tweet things, and we just got hooked on the whole Making a Murderer bandwagon. 

Guys. I have a real addiction to crime drama. From X Files to Criminal Minds to this new addiction to Making a Murderer. I can never resist an episode of Law + Order any kind. So some of this stuff in Making a Murderer is blowing my mind. Like, for example, I can't even guess my own password for like my email accounts, but I'm supposed to believe this girl's ex-boyfriend guessed her username AND password for her cell phone account? #seemsquestionabletome #tooeasy #WAYtooeasy

#nope

In other news. I have discovered something fantastic. I'm bad at snapchat (don't believe me? @kdsmoove is my username, I'm really bad at adding people though because I never recognize usernames. because why don't I get people's real names? #confessionwithinaconfession) BUT GUYS SPENCER PRATT IS ON SNAPCHAT. It's incredible. I can't look away. #speidi #cantstopwontstop #thankmelater

I confess I wasn't Olivia's biggest fan, I just don't understand why she always has her mouth open, I usually stand up for the one the girls gang up on because usually in those situations that's me. I know they edit it to have a "villain." I don't want to stand up for her though, first the mouth thing, then the constantly "stealing" Ben even though she's already got her rose, but the nail in the coffin for me was the whole "this sounds like an episode of Teen Mom" GIRLFRIEND. You did not think that was okay to say. #notcoolrobertfrost #bachelorchitchat #blamethebooze 

#eyeroll

I've had the same Rocks Box in my car waiting to be sent back for literally three months. It's bad news guys, like I keep paying the subscription, but not wearing the jewelry, you know why? I don't know how to send outgoing mail from my house. we've lived here since May. #imreallypretty #socute #butseriously #SOS

merp

So on that note, I'm off. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON MAKING A MURDERER? Also I'm only to the 5th episode so I might be behind on the decisions. Are you unfollowing me on twitter for my incessant Bachelor tweets? 

Confessions of an [Almost] Twenty. Seven. Year. Old

GUYS. guys. guys. guys. My birthday is Friday. I am turning old. OLD I TELL YOU. I'm really not prepared. Not even a tiny bit. Ask Michelle as she had to talk me down from the why isn't my life together meltdown of the day yesterday. I'm sure I will have a couple more in the next couple of days, so stay tuned. 

I spent most of my brainstorming time working on that picture, I'm pretty sure it's the cover of my first novel, what do you think? #likeawallflower #meetstheshopaholic #meetssomemegcabotbook #WHEREISMYHOGWARTSLETTER

I mentioned my not-a-grownup meltdown, so today I was thinking about the things that I feel like qualify me (aside from being that close to thirty. OH MY GOD I'M ONLY THREE YEARS AWAY FROM THIRTY. BRB.) They include: paying for my own Netflix subscription (even though I watch the same shows over and over), I have a 401k (I even know what a 401k is...), I reward myself for doing chores with wine. Yeah. That's about it. #thatsashortlist #weareallpretending #right? #whoisarealgrownupanyways

via

I'm just as happy going to the bar (provided it's not so slammed that you can't move.. and maybe there's food...) as I am sitting in the living room, drinking champagne, and having a Disney sing-a-long. Or watching a marathon on the History channel. Or reading. Probably reading let's be real. #OHORKARAOKE #yeahletsdokaraoke #ORTRIVIA #ORBOTH

I've been racking my brain for more confessions that are worthy of blogging about. I can't come up with them. Mostly all I can think about is going to sleep. It's 10:15 and I feel like we're up past my bed time. #grammastatus #nowimfreakingoutaboutbeingoldagain #sendhelp

Well. I'm doing my normal link up for a Wednesday! All the hashtags. ALL OF THEM. Do you have any old lady ridiculous panics? I've decided that everyone is just pretending to be a grownup, I'm just not that good at pretending yet....

"Feels Like 11"

Here we are, already to Wednesday again! I'm sure for most of you it doesn't feel like you've made it too far, but for those of us that had to work on Monday, it's a well earned Wednesday. Except that it's freezing outside. I'm so over winter you guys. I would trade my birthday for it to be like, "low of 65" instead of "high of 38, 90% chance of rain"


What is most concerning to me about today's forecast is the rain + essentially freezing temperatures. If you recall, the people of Atlanta are not so good with wintery weather. Moreover we're really bad with ice (but excuse me, who is good at driving on ice? we don't have tire chains here, I don't even know what those are for, but we don't have them) #pleasedontsnow #snowpocalypserepeat #devilsdandruff #wedontdowell

I have some issues with this season of Pretty Little Liars. First of all I get it, the plot is just like the first season. Also please stop reading if for some reason you haven't watched the first episode + are worried about spoilers. We know for sure that Cece is dead right? Like that was definitely her? Why is everyone acting so shady right off the bat? Like, come on guys. Also, how is it possible that they've gotten WORSE at lying? They've been doing it for like. ten years now. #getittogetherguys #soshady #butalsoinnocent #orarethey?

This post was going to be longer, but instead of writing last night I decided to start planning a trip to Machu Picchu because doesn't that sound like a great adventure? I'm thinking late this year, maybe around Thanksgiving or so? Has anyone been? Any advice? Also, has anyone used Contiki or some other travel site? Since EF cancelled my referral code, I'm not really so hot on using them again. #adventureisoutthere #mywordof2016 #wanderlust #thattravelbugisREALyall 

me IRL

So, everyone stay safe in that wintery mix today! And please tell me all the travel secrets for Latin America, thanks!

My Last Post (Before I Win the Powerball...)

I'm just going to jump right in + confess that I am writing this instead of watching the State of the Union, even though there's a drinking game to go with it because I know I'll get the highlights from it in tomorrow morning's Skimm so that is under control. #aintnobodygottimeforthat 

I haven't come up with my "adventures" hashtag yet, BUT I HAVE COME UP WITH ONE FOR WINE THINGS (since I can't really use #lemmewineaboutit because of that Buzzfeed Series...) so instead we're gonna use #kaseyatthebar (see what I did there?) so that it's not only cheap wine reviews but also dive bars, cocktails, and more! #partypartyparty

I confess that I did start this post in lieu of watching the SOTU, but then ended up watching The Bachelor instead, so that is the reason it's so late. #embarrassedemojihere but CAN WE TALK ABOUT LACE FOR A SECOND. Does she stress anyone else out? Like when she starts talking I literally can't even. It makes me SO uncomfortable. I also think that the producers are prepping us for an Oliva/Lace cage fight "date" later this season... #TheBachelor #somuchdrama #shemightbeworsethanTierra #REMEMBERTHEEYEBROW

I stopped to pick up lottery tickets on the way home, duh, and when I did the cashier said "bye honey see you on tv after you win!" so I'm pretty sure that's a sign that I'm going to win, so see you guys on tha flip side. Obviously I would blog so much more if I won... #becauseIdbeallvacay #allthetime #THINKOFALLTHEBOOKS

THAT is all I have todaaaaay, BUT STAY TUNED, first edition of Kasey at the Bar comes fresh first thing in the mornin! Spoiler alert, it's a wine review... Also I'm still taking suggestions for my adventure hashtags. Is #AdventuresOnDeck16 too much? I feel like it's too much. #SOS

HAPPY MY BIRTHDAY MONTH EVERYONE

January is traditionally one of my most successful months, because I hesitate less with the excuse that it's my birthday bitches. It's almost like I'm a different person. If I could tap into whatever it is that makes me the best version of myself in January for all the days, I'd be unstoppable (except that I would be broke because I also justify spending too much money for that reason too.) However, it's Wednesday -- so what more could you expect than hashtagging the Schmidt out of some confessions? 

While I am an unstoppable force during my birthday month, I'm also super bossy + probably a pain in the ass. I refuse to apologize for it because it's only once a year. Well, 31 days out of the year. If I slowed down to worry about what everyone else was going to think about my actions, it would be easier to stop me. #sorrynotsorry #itsmybirthday #mycircusmymonkeys #whyisitmonkeysnotmonkies? 

birthdaaaaaaay

I am OBSESSED with Momentum Dash. Have you used it? It's this browser extension for Chrome that shows you a breathtaking shot of somewhere exotic (by exotic I mean anywhere but my front yard), a motivational quote, and the option to make a to - do list (that comes with the reason we all love to - do lists -- the ability to check the boxes off as you accomplish tasks.) It really brings that extra umph to my mornings, so I totally think you should check it out too. #thisisnotsponsored #ijustlikesharing #sharingismyfavorite 

this literally has nothing to do with anything

I'm a little nervous about the #breakupchallenge2016 because I got sass for saying that one of my goals was to get up and work out in the mornings and get my shit together. that's a lot for a girl who usually gets up fifteen minutes before she needs to leave for work. I think I can do it for 30 days. Who knows maybe I'll get addicted like when I did 30 days at the Barre #strongisthenewskinny #youcandoanythingforthirtydays 

Add caption

I'm toying with the idea of starting a weekly series where I test out different kinds of cheap wine + review them here. Tax professionals, do we think I could write that off on my taxes as a business expense? I think I should be able to. moreover, if I start traveling to blog, can I write that off too? I think I need to hire an accountant.... #badatmath #taxbreaksfordays #doIhavetoestablishanLLC? #businessclassrefresherplease 

dolla dolla bills yall

I HAVE A REAL CONFESSION I ALMOST FORGOT. So, I live in a super walkable neighborhood. It's the best. So it was unseasonably beautiful on Thursday, so I walked a couple blocks to the park in the neighborhood because I just wanted to swing. Made myself a little to-go drink + toted along my camera incase I came across anything photo worthy (come on, empty playgrounds are pretty cool in black + white) It did not, however, occur to me that an adult, alone in a park, with an unknown drink in her hand and a professional camera strapped around her is NOT something that parents are cool with. #strangerdanger #butImastrangerdangerranger #iwasalittleworriedthecopswouldbecalled #insertembarrassedemojifacehere

I'm a stranger danger ranger!

I just realized these aren't really confessions at all are they? I CONFESS THAT I MEANT TO CONFESS! #whoops! Can you believe I've blogged two days in a row two weeks in a row? Don't freak out, but I might just have gotten my mojo back. I missed y'all just entirely too much. Also I got a blog planner for Christmas + I couldn't possibly let that go to waste!
