What I'm Lovin' Fridays

1.  Mmmm Chocolate

I finally went to Max Brenner's and man was I in chocolate heaven.  Pricey, yes but I'll pay anything for chocolate :)

2.  Circle Scarf
Thanks to Shannon, ever since I found out that the circle scarfs can virtually turn into a blanket I've wanted one.  I've put it on the back burner due to the heat waves we've been having but I recently saw a pin that made me want to purchase one...today.

3.  My Lip Stain is Poppin'...

So randomly I had this dream about a purplish lipgloss I had found in Sephora.  Sure enough the next day I went in and found it.  Loooove it!

4.  Wegmans
So I went to the new Wegmans that opened up in my area and I must say at first I was overwhelmed but after letting it marinate, I realized I could get used to this cheaper "Whole Foods" alternative.  Still not as cheap as my Market Basket but I'll defiantly be treating myself to it every now and then. 



5.  Makeover!
Alright I really do have ADD when it comes to styling my place.  I'm already getting the itch to redecorate and I've only lived there for 3 months.  In one of my pinning fits, I came across this gem that I actually might use in my tiny space deprived studio.

What Are You Lovin' Today?

What I'm Lovin' Fridays

1.  Lolita's Cocina & Tequila Bar

Good atmosphere, even better food and drinks. While the main menu is on the pricier side, they do give you plenty of freebies. To start off, a shaven ice topped off with a shot of tequila, a massive bowl of tortilla chips (which tasted quite similar to Chipotle's...yum) accompanied with 4 different types of salsa and with the check a massive helping of cotton candy with a sprinkle of pop rocks on top.  I bought the cornbread (best I ever had) and a white sangria. Needless to say I LOVE this spot.

2.  Pixar Does It Again

I took my sis and little cousin to see Brave this past weekend and I was impressed.  On the scarier side for the little ones but definately a must see.  Pixar you haven't let me down yet.

3.  Baby You're A Firework! 

Ok I couldn't resist quoting the song but nothing beats family traditions being carried out for the 4th.  Up to Maine, cookout complete with a birthday cake from Party Favors, our annual trip to our favorite gift shop to buy our Root Candles and ending our night with Fireworks on Ogunquit Beach.  Oh how I love the holidays  

4.  Late Night's and Baking

So what if its 85 degrees outside and 11pm on a Monday night?  That didn't stop me from baking up a storm.  From scratch my Crack Brownies were whipped up and with the left over cookie dough some Chocochip Surprise Cupcakes were made.  All ideas compliments of Pintrest. 

5.  Nail Color

I need to find this.  Ulta here I come!

Hope you all enjoyed your 4th!

 

What I'm Lovin' Fridays

1.  "Whistle While I Wait"

What would have been my 9:30 pm Friday night arrival into ATL this past weekend turned into a 1 am Saturday arrival due to nationwide FAA system complications.  I would have lost my mind if it wasn't for the huge burrito I bought to accompany some Disney movies on my Duo as I sat on floor in Terminal E at Logan Airport.

2.  Mama's Got A New Pair Of Shoes

I really shouldn't be buying anymore shoes but this is what happens when your friend takes you to the mall to window shop. Smh.

3.  New Addiction

Starbucks.  Yes Double Ds (Dunkins) I have converted, after having this Shaken Green Tea Lemonade and tasting their Ice Vanilla Chai Latte I'm hooked. 

4.  Its Was Cute While It Lasted...

So I thought of a genius idea to get my hair straightened in the middle of a heat wave for my trip to an even hotter place this past week.  It was looking on point the first night and while the curls faded before I could even make it to ATL, it surprisingly kept its straightness amidst the heat.  Go Locs!

5.  Afternoon Cravings
Chocolate cravings are something I live with everyday, but yesterday it was BAD.  But boy did 7Eleven deliver and man did this hit the spot!

What are you lovin' today?

What I'm Lovin' Fridays

1.  Go Go Gadget Girl:

Yeah my newest toy is this pocket projector I found at Brookstone for your iPhone!  Wait there's more, not only does it project what I have found to be a 73" frame, BUT it also acts as a potable charger when you're not by an outlet.  I'm in LOVE with this thing.

2.  My New Favorite Snack:

So simple, I'm not sure why I never thought of this before.  Avocado sprinkled with a little salt and topped with your favorite salsa.  Healthy and delicious!

3.  CAUTION! Black Girl Running:

My Game face is ON. I finally stepped up to the track this week and started training myself to get ready for this Color Me Rad 5K She's A 10! style in July.  It'll be my first one and I'm a little nervous! But hey I gotta start somewhere right?

4. She's A 10! Photo Shoot:

Some of our lovely "10s" took time out to model our new shirts and be the face of our website.  Shirts are on sale NOW!  Just email orders@shes-a-10.org with the number of shirts being bought, sizes, shipping address and Paypal account email .

5.  Birthday Shoes

So my obsession with Aldo shoes continues but I threw in my own flare using (blanks) DIY glitter technique for the bottom.  Told you that was next on my project list.  Look for my own post on it soon
