SAVE this post for some delicious spots to eat out

SAVE this post for some delicious spots to eat out and support this upcoming season! Local restaurants are so so important to support and I’m trying to make it a goal of mine to visit at least one per week! These are all the places I ate out at in October and November:

1. @buenosdiaspupusas at the @piedmontgreenmarket ! I got the classic beans and cheese papusa. Make sure to add the toppings!

2. @mccraystavern on the Beltline. Decent food, tvs, and dog friendly! You order from your phone so I did the kids meal for the best bang for my buck!

3. @eatamoreatl who has the best decor and delicious pasta and wine! I’m a sucker for their vodka gnocchi!

4. @fincatofilter in Old Fourth Ward for a little chai latte and breakfast sandwich! Love how hidden away it is!

5. @eathawkers - I got their ramen this time on a cool day. It was my second time eating here and I’m not sure if it’s sitting outside but the service might not bring me back sadly!

6. @emeraldcitybagels - I don’t go often as this bagel with tax and tip is almost $20 but I do usually get two meals out of it!

7. @bovinoafterdark - one is the best meals I’ve had this year. I will dream of this kimchi beurre blanc!

8. @breakerbreaker_atl - this mushroom dip special was UNBELIEVABLE! I always follow their insta because their specials are the best part of their menu!

9. @theyonahburger - as I mentioned on my previous reel, probably some of the best onion rings I’ve had in my life!

10. @lloydspizzaparty - delicious crust and even layer of toppings, no notes!

I’ve never been to a wedding that was equal part

I’ve never been to a wedding that was equal parts love and equal parts girlhood. We had the best weekend celebrating our dear friends! I’m not going to lie I was worried going into this weekend because of my past, but I came out of it so beyond giddy and happy for my two friends with so much to celebrate!

A few weeks ago a friend and I spent the most magi

A few weeks ago a friend and I spent the most magical day in North Georgia. We left around 8 am from Atlanta and got back around 5pm. Here was our flawless and unplanned itinerary:

1. Hike to the top of Yonah Mountain. Get here as early as you can as the parking fills up! A tough hike but love at the top it doesn’t feel crowded due to all the different viewpoints! Great bathroom facilities.

2. A quick drink and view from @jumpingoatcoffeeandmeadbar !

3. Burgers and onion rings at @theyonahburger ! Holy smokes top 5 onion rings of my life. I will be back!

4. @nofocleveland for a delicious post hike drink and people watching. Great yard games, a food truck and tvs inside as well!

Earlier this year I started to get into running ag

Earlier this year I started to get into running again after 5 years. It was more economical for me than paying for my gym membership and I do love that I’m forced to be off technology and with my own thoughts for multiple hours a week. Two of my friends are trying to run a half marathon in every state and I decided to join them for the @newportmarathon !

Y’all this is the most GORG race! You start by going through the cute downtown, then some farmland, then a stunning ocean drive, and you end with mansions. I think I’m going to keep joining them for future races too 🤪

Almost one year ago my life forever changed. We can do hard and unimaginable things and become better versions of ourselves.

Such a fun day in Dallas! It’s definitely out of my comfort zone to go to this type of training but it is very good for me. Ending the day with @terryblacks_bbq was phenomenal! The brisket, mac and cheese and green beans were my favorite. It was very upsetting the lack of bananas in their banana pudding.

It’s been fun to be a part of this cool training

It’s been fun to be a part of this cool training through my school and getting to travel with work! I’m actually in a different city today that I can’t wait to share about!

I met up with a friend at @haywirerestaurants in Midtown for dinner. The chicken fried steak with the jalapeño gravy was so delicious!

This was such a lovely weekend in the city! Here were all the spots I went to:

1. @krogerco bar on the @atlantabeltline perfect for an after work prosecco!

3. @conlecheatl is great spot in the @reynoldstown_atl neighborhood with such an underrated breakfast burrito!
4. @ultabeauty with amazing associates who helped me pick my new scent and lipstick!
5. @eathawkers was the perfect early dinner of sharable apps! The bread and soup dumplings were my favorites!

The sun just set on an amazing summer season. Fall

The sun just set on an amazing summer season. Fall is for symbols like growth, harvest, death and rebirth just like we see in the nature. Yesterday I was reminded just how much we need others to grow. I was handing out leftover food to the houseless near my school. The man was so grateful and immediately tried to give it to a mom and her children as they walked by. The woman said she was grateful to be in a hotel and didn’t want to accept it originally but I encouraged her to. This man was willing to give up the food given to him and this woman told me she was fostering 8 kids in a hotel room down the street. She asked me for a hug and I just cried in my car after. There is so much kindness in the world and we can’t let one garbage disrespectful human dictate or change that mindset. Leaving this conversation I’m trying to take into account my growth but growth takes time and now might be the season 🍁🍂
