Join the charcuterie party as we sit down with Karleigh Akers-Williamson, the culinary artist behind a unique event that's all the buzz in the community. Karleigh takes us through the whirlwind of organizing "What A Girl Wants," a showcase highlighting 21 female entrepreneurs with offerings ranging from chic boutique finds to Botox—with a twist of iced coffee instead of alcohol. We've got all the details on how this event not only champions women in business but also warms hearts, with proceeds supporting the noble cause of Grandma's House. Karleigh's insight is invaluable for anyone interested in the world of food-oriented business and the empowerment of women-led ventures.

The art of crafting the perfect charcuterie board is more than just an appetizing endeavor—it's about creating connections and memories. Drea & Angela open up about their own experiences with Karleigh's charcuterie classes, and why, when it comes to hosting, Drea's all for letting the experts take the reins. We'll give you a glimpse into the nitty-gritty of food event planning, from managing the freshness of meats and cheeses to working with decorators like Ashtyn Edwards for that extra pop of color and festivity. Whether you're a foodie or just love a good gathering, our chat will have you feeling the behind-the-scenes buzz and maybe even inspire you to join in on the fun.

Finally, we're not just about the cheese and the chitchat; we're here to soundtrack your life with a Taylor Swift twist. As the excitement for her themed night cranks up, we muse over Grammy outcomes, upcoming albums, and shared concert memories that bring us all together. And let's not forget the husbands—Valentine's Day is approaching, and we've got the guide to effortless gift shopping from local vendors, ensuring you hit the right note with your significant other. So, whether you're planning a special day or just looking for some inspiration, tune in and let's make some noise for the power of community, creativity, and charcuterie.
