Weekend Trip to New York for my Grandma's 100th Birthday

 

I surprised my Grandma this weekend and flew to New York to celebrate her 100th birthday! I'll resume regular posting on Tuesday for the Lululemon drop. Although, Athelta's new arrivals has me way more excited these days.

I arrived at Laguardia Airport late Friday night. It was empty! I had my brother pick me up from the airport and when I walked in my mom started screaming and my grandma was so surprised and happy to see me! So much, that she forgot to take her pills and then she told me the next morning she was so exited she couldn't fall asleep.

My sister just had surgery on her gums and couldn't eat anything that was hard, so she ordered Wagyu beef. I tried a piece!

Practically melts in your mouth.

My parents ordered take out from one of their favorite restaurants in Flushing and also cooked a couple of dishes as well. Like this fish dish. 

Chilean Sea Bass - it's so good.

Went to a grocery store near my parent's house and could not believe how expensive scallions are! 😱

Of course, I had to get my dim sum fix before I left! It was a quick 48 hours in New York and seeing my grandma surprised and happy was worth it. I told her I'll visit again soon. 💗


I'm back in Atlanta and I'll see you all on Tuesday for new releases! Have a fantastic Monday!

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia. Anyway, today I have a belt bag size comparison review for you all! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original

  Happy May! Can't believe summer is right around the corner. I'm looking forward to visiting my family later this month. It's been nearly a year since I've been back to NYC. I'm already thinking about all the dim sum I'm going to cram in the 10 days I'm there! 😆  Today I have a review of the new  Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap  compared to the original  Everywhere Belt Bag  that is slowly being phased out. 😢  **** Update - The original Everywhere Belt Bag has been phased out completely.
