Weekend Recap.

This weekend was so much fun!
I finally didn't have to work over nights and could enjoy my entire weekend!
I'm linking up with Sami to share all my adventures!



Sami's Shenanigans

Saturday night I spent time with my roommate and his friend that was in town!
We went to see a movie called Blue Jasmine... It was so good but if you are already in a sad mood this movie is not for you!


It's about a women who had riches and lost them all.
I think the best part about the whole movie though was where the location was!
It was in Lincoln Square and surrounded by New York Fabulous-ness!


Oh hello Lincoln Center!


Me on my movie date with the boys! 

After the movie we caught a cab and jetted over to grab some late night dinner at the "best indian food" restaurant in NYC! 
And it was awesome! 
It was a place called Chola. 
It was DELICIOUS. 
I was so into my food I forgot to take any pictures past the bread! 



We ended our night by walking around the city a bit! 





I went to bed kind of early because I knew that I would have to be up to go to the Brooklyn Flea market the next day with my new friend Shelby!

The flea market was not exactly what I had expected.
When I think flea market I think cool inexpensive things... not in Brooklyn.
Everything was super expensive but it was still cool to walk around... oh and they view... the view made it worth the trip!


Did I mention I love the Williamsburg area? 


Since we couldn't afford much... we ate a lot of food! 


The view! 



Just relaxing! 


An inside area just for artist and jewelers!




Our time in Williamsburg continued, with us going to the Fish Shack and enjoys lobster tacos and happy hour drinks! 


Shelby's friend Nina even showed up to join in on the festivities!


I left the flea market with a dent in my bank account (from food) and a little sunburnt but we had a great time! I can't wait to visit again!
Happy Monday everyone!

Oh and just a heads up... this week is going to be chaos!
Not many details yet but lots to come!!!

Hello big world!


I'm not sure if you noticed but things look a little different here! 
Thanks to my sorority sister Jennifer Gilbreath, the author of the blog Sweet Southern Wife 
my blog has had a little HUGE makeover! 
And what girl doesn't love a makeover every once in a while! 

There are a couple of more tweaks here and there that will be added but I am beyond thankful for the time Jennifer has invested in making my little website more user friends and of course esthetically pleasing! 

This week has been kind of slow mostly because I'm getting adjusted to a new job! 
I really love the new spa so far. 
It is super professional and I can appreciate that consider my last job. 
So that is good news! 

Amanda is back to this city after working on Legally Blonde the musical the past few weeks. 
We went to drinks and had a great night out! 
ALSO 
My roommate Danny turned (drum roll please) 
24! 
Twenty four doesn't seem old until you see his birthday pictures... 
His cake looked literally on fire. 


I think when my 24th birthday rolls around I want a really large cake so I can spread that candles out...
That will be my tactic. 

Back to Amanda! 
The other day I was waiting for her to get off work and decided I wanted to get a pedicure. 
I came across this place which might be the cutest nail salon I've ever seen. 
It's called Pink Lemonade. 






I think my favorite part was picking which Chanel nail polish I liked! 

I think my least favorite part was paying $60 for the most basic pedicure. 
I didn't see the prices until I had already stuck my feet into the little tub (full of roses). 

My night following my pedicure was spent at Amanda's apartment drinking wine, watching pretty little liars, and eating cookies. 
As I said above Amanda just got back after this amazing professional preforming experience. 
She said something that kind of put a lightbulb off in my head and I wanted to expand further. 
She said she's not going to snooze in life anymore. 

Follow me for a second: 

Ok, your alarm goes off at 6am and you look at it. You are tired so you click snooze. 
Sometimes you hit it once and then get up but we have all had those moments where you continue to hit snooze over and over again. 
But
What if you didn't. 
What if you made the decision in your life to not hit the snooze button anymore.
Lets go further 
What if you decided not to hit the snooze button in any aspect of your life anymore. 
What if you took the idea of snooze out of your life. 
You would have two choices: 
1. you are awake. 
2. you are asleep.

If you practice everyday that when your alarm goes off you are awake, think of all the time you would have. You would have time to make that breakfast bagel, or maybe even get to enjoy your morning walking instead of running to work. 
And then
you stayed awake and actively involved all day.
You didn't go on auto pilot, you didn't snooze through your day until you got off work hoping that your day would improve. 
Don't get me wrong 
Sleep is important.
Sleep is a part of not snoozing. 
And sometimes you are going to get more sleep than other times. 
The important thing is 
Either be asleep or be awake. 
nothing in between. 
Be involved in your life 100%.

Just something to think about. 
Happy Tuesday!
