Brandy McNair is the boutique owner and jewelry designer of Bella Vita. Her shop is located in downtown Little Rock and has the most fabulous selection of jewelry, art, and gifts. We talked with Brandy about all the items available in her store, some new lines of gifts she created as a result of the pandemic, her jewelry-making process, and what to expect for the holiday season. We were most excited to learn about the button-collecting community (yes, there is such a thing!) and how she came ...

After mixing up a festive Brandy Alexander, we visit with Michelle Towne, the owner/publisher of Inviting Arkansas, about the magazine, its focus on philanthropic activities, and surviving quarantine.

We had a Thanksgiving-themed happy hour with a charcuterie board and Arnaud’s French 75 cocktail and the conversation is all over the place, as usual. From some of our new branded gear to a special gift from Amy and our potential stage names to what we’ve been watching lately. And of course, we talk about all that we have to be thankful for this very strange year.

Our friend Lee Edwards is well-known in the Little Rock area for his bar management experience at some of the top bars around town, but he left us several years ago to sell for Haus Alpenz in Atlanta. In this episode, Lee shared three spirits from his line-up and taught us how to make a different spritz with each of them. We started with the Aperitivo Cappelletti and soda, then had Bonal Gentiane-Quina with a sparkling apple cider, and finished with the Byrrh Grand Quinquina and tonic. We lov...

We make a Seelbach cocktail and cozy up the kitchen island to talk about things from home improvement to dry cleaning. Sometimes it is just good to catch up with your friend. Cheers!

Sara Hurst recently launched Bella’s Kitchen, a meal service for kids. This brilliant idea is mean to turn picky eaters into food connoisseurs! And is a huge help for busy parents that want their kids to eat more than chicken tenders and fries. To help us understand that healthy foods can be delicious, Sara delivered some of her almond butter cookies (along with her favorite whiskey!), and we can attest to them being DELICIOUS. Join us as we sip on a Grapefruit Collins and learn more about Sa...

It is election week and we thought Blake Rutherford would be the perfect guest to come on and talk some politics with us. He did not disappoint! Blake has recently launched a new venture — SourceStream, a live and interactive political talk network — and he tells us all about it, his show (Go Back To Bed), and the future of media. We also talk about this week's presidential election and when we think we'll have a final call as to who will be our next president. Join us as we sip on Old Fashio...
