Happy National Rum Day! ...yup another one of those "holidays"

August 16, 2014 by elana 3 Comments

I’m not going to go on a tirade here about the ridiculous amount of non-holiday “holidays” that have sprung up over the past few years. Instead, here’s a reason to drink today: rum.

Rum and I took a little while to get to like each other, but now we’re totally besties. Here’s a few picks of some of my favorite rum drinks on the site. Enjoy!

    I’m a rum girl all the way — I love the casual style of your photos, and that sweet corn and strawberry smash has my name on it!
