Hello friends! Happy summer! It has been an incredibly strange year so far (in good ways and bad!) and I have been looking forward to being able to jump into the lake, swim, hike, and just be outside in nature….and maybe enjoy all that with a glass of wine too! Ha! As things start to phase into re-opening, we are all looking for ways to have a little extra fun in the sun, while still maintaining some social distancing and being safe! Last summer, Preston & I had the opportunity to go to the Adirondack Winery (located in Lake George, New York) for a wine tasting and IT WAS SO FREAKING FUN ..read more

Happy Friday, Penny Darlings! Happy New Year! New exciting news coming of a big project I’m working on! I just started my YouTube channel if you want to subscribe here! Be sure to check out my Instagram & Facebook! THE BIG GAME IS ON SUNDAY! For Preston & I – the ‘Big Game’ is usually more a social gathering than a viewing of an actual game! We’ve never been big sports fans but we love any excuse to invite friends over. So this Sunday – we’re hosting a few friends to watch the game! So obvi, I needed to stock up food for all of our friends (who are all totally different!) and make sur ..read more

Happy Friday, Darlings! Coming to you live from the Penny Darling HQ and we are in full holiday madness! We’re shopping, planning, all the good stuff! With the advent of that, my parents are planning on moving next year to a smaller home, and out of my childhood home. It’s sad to close the door but I’m excited for them on the next chapter of their journey. So this year, heading home for the holidays is extra important. That got me thinking – what do I bring?! And as I made a list, I was chatting with Preston and we were both struggling to pack. THEN, I said to myself, “Self, if we are terrible ..read more

Happy Thursday, Penny Darlings! This December has been absolutely NUTSO and it shows no signs of slowing down, so I’ll see my sanity next year! I don’t mind though – it’s mostly all good things! Still things I can’t tell you but I’m dyiiiiiing to tell you! ANYWAY! One of things that has proven to be the most difficult so far is finding time to go shopping for gifts! I lovelovelove finding the perfect gift for my friends and family & I was stressed about when I was going to find time to hit a million and one stores. So obviously, Preston & I hit up with West Shore Plaza, located in Lemo ..read more

Happy Wednesday, Penny Darlings! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood & I am READY for Thanksgiving! Ya girl is pumped for pumpkin cheesecake, my dad’s famous potato filling, stuffing balls, and some holiday punch! Yum! Yum! Yum! Anyway, as we all know, after Thanksgiving it gets into the holiday season, and as we all know even more; that usually involves some shopping, gifting, & giving! This holiday season – I am so pumped to be supporting small businesses, local businesses, Etsy shop owners, go-getters, & more! I’ve done tons of #ShoppingSmall so far! It’s been a blast! For ..read more

Happy Tuesday Penny Darlings! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! I’m getting pumped for some potato filling, cooking, & most importantly: the socially acceptable transition to Christmas season! Ha! Now while I’m more of a November 1 kind-of-gal – now I won’t get any funny looks for bumping Christmas music on the radio, wearing sweaters every day, and being a general Cindy Lou Who! Let me just sneak the boring stuff so we can get to the goods! Check me out on Instagram here!  I also have a selling Instagram page where I sell some of my old clothes/styles so that I ..read more

Happy Tuesday, Penny Darlings! As we approach closer & closer to the holiday season, it’s getting busier and crazier! Or at least it is in the Darling household! Between getting ready for Preston to open his play (Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, whaaaat!), shopping, cleaning, traveling, working, and spreading a little cheer – I’m constantly on the move. As we kick into lots of travel & projects – I’m trying to enjoy every last second of self-care, rest, & relaxation that I can get. So today, I teamed up with Not Your Mother’s brand to share how I’m taking my R&R seriously this h ..read more

Happy Friday, Penny Darlings! I am coming to you live from my couch with the flu. Or bronchitis. Or something that’s making me hack up a lung, sleep a ton, and be in general achy miserableness. But I’ve been downing soup, tea, Vitamin C, and DayQuil, mixed with some OJ & popsicles. I shall not let this defeat me! Ha! One thing comforting me from my blanket pile is the sight of Christmas & the holidays all throughout the house! I am such a sucker for all things “Winter”. Gimme a tree, some presents, hot cocoa, ice skating, a onesie, etc. I love Christmas! I am your neighborhood Cindy Lo ..read more

Happy Friday, Darlings! It’s a chilly and windy day here in PA! We got to celebrate some friends’ wedding last night, ended up getting POURED on in the torrential rain, wore costumes, bar hopped, met up with some more friends, and it was all pretty spoopy! (Congrats Zander & Skye!) One of our friends is going abroad for a few months, and she is going to miss Thanksgiving, so we decided to throw a super early Friendsgiving so she could celebrate before heading on her journey! What is a Friendsgiving, you might ask? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like! Ha! We had a big (early) Thanksgivin ..read more

Happy (rainy) Wednesday, Penny Darlings! We are bewitchingly close to the big spooky day, and as All Hallows’ Eve approaches – I am doing all the things I’m supposed to be doing. I’ve watched Hocus Pocus, drank ALL the PSLs, stocked up on candy for trick-or-treaters, and most importantly: got some costumes! Now, if you’re like me, then I’m sorry. Ha! Just kidding! But seriously, I have CURLY CURLY CURLY hair and it is TOUGH to style. It doesn’t hold style very well (it’s also SUPER fine and silky!), it gets frizzy the second I start sweating or thinking about humidity, and it deflates to being ..read more
