Let’s Go To Albuquerque!

Albuquerque is a magical place. The truth is, I’m down with anywhere where the skies are deep, the lavender margaritas flow like wine and the peacocks are chill. My favorite place on this whole trip was Los Poblanos. Not only was it a beautiful inn/organic lavender farm, but the restaurant on the grounds, La Merienda, was a dream. I even was able to ride a bike around the lavender fields AND there was a cat…

Favorites on February 1

You guys! I have stuff to say. Things like, sometimes I go to the bathroom to get a break from situations. You know, reapply my lipstick (this only lately: Tarte Punch) and sort my head out. I’m a need-my-own-time type. (Even mid-dinner sometimes? Can any of you relate?) Some other more casual at-home breaks: I also like to read this book before bed. It helps me sort out happiness and staying present and gratitude! And this…

Let’s go to Grand Rapids!

A couple weekends ago, I went to Grand Rapids thanks to ExperienceGr and The Lemon Bowl (who organized this adventure weekend). We started off a boozy weekend with happy hour and beer and wine and champagne at the Food and Wine festival and finished off the night with a Founder’s brewery tour! Can you believe all those cans of All Day IPA?! We got up bright and early to get breakfast. I had that lil wrap.…

Lunch with Wolfgang Puck

Last week I was e-mailed to see if I’d want to hang with Wolfgang Puck over lunch at his restaurant, Steak at the MGM Grand Casino. How unreal, right?! I RSVP-ed with a “Hell yes” and started getting excited. On Thursday, Nicole (of Dula Notes) sent me a text and she was invited too! Best news ever. We had the best time. When we arrived, we met Wolfgang and he invited us into the kitchen…

South X Saints // Sunday Supper

I popped into Atlanta over the weekend because I needed fried chicken. Erika’s fried chicken to be exact! You see, my girl’s been hosting South X Saints dinners every month. I knew in my heart that I had to make it to one, so over the weekend, we Sunday Suppered. (Did you know we met in Florida a couple years ago?! We bonded over weird food and late night spaghetti with Cindy.) I painted my nails with…

Yeah Whatever Wednesday No. 2

This is my second time baking up this Carrot and Apple Oat breakfast slice. Basically the vegan and slice-y version of this recipe. I can’t wait to eat it for breakfast every day! Can’t wait for Sunday! Eating fried chicken made by my girl Erika! Really might  need this egg waffle maker. To serve ice cream, obvz! This Goat Cheese with Cherry Onion Compote from Cindy has me wanting to have snack dinner in a…

Super in the City / Door-to-Door Organics

Can you believe I was lucky enough to be invited to a rooftop party in Detroit with Door-to-Door Organics?! I brought my friend Katie who appreciates cocktails and cheese as much as I do. She’s cooler though because she can whiskey it up. I had a beet and carrot juice vodka cocktail and she had a ginger and whiskey situation. We were a couple of the first in line for appetizers. I’m pretty good at…

Yeah Whatever Wednesday No.1

GUYS! It’s Wednesday, but yeah whatever. I’m not into the phrase “hump day”, but I like to think of my week half full? I got a manicure yesterday to give myself life and I’m getting pizza tonight because of goals. The scoop is below. I peeped this mani on Pinterest and totally got it. If you’re local, check out Luxury Nails in Clawson. I got a shellac mani with a yellow polish, gold glitter and…

Let’s Go To Portland // Places

Let’s start with a side note. I loved Portland so much, that I’m going  back next month and tossing bunny-topped Seattle in the mix. HELL YES + OMG + Here we go: Blogger livin’ happy hour happened in the upstairs of a hotel with a view as cute as your face. Just kidding, nothing can beat your face. Cindy took me to Heart Roasters where the iced coffee is a dream and you leave wanting to…
