About Me

I’m Lauren, Pom mom, and lifelong gamer with a soft spot for a well-set table and food that actually tastes good. I moved for a role at a tech company and quickly learned that being a transplant means building your own version of family. For me, that looked like hosting dinners, backyard BBQs, holiday parties, and any other good excuse to get together. I built Lola AFK to share what I cook, what I pour, what I prep ahead, and what I don’t bother with.

Amateur Mixologist

From smoky bourbon sippers to frothy gin fancies, I love crafting cocktails that are both beautiful and delicious.

Hostess with the Mostest

Whether it’s a backyard luau or spooky Halloween soirée, I love curating every detail from the cocktails to themed menus.

Occasional Blogger

Lola AFK is where I combine my love of cooking, crafting, and entertaining with the organization of a good checklist.
