Happy Friday!  While this isn’t what I’ve been up to this past week, I thought I’d take the time now just to highlight a few things from my recent trip to Philly and NYC.  Enjoy!

Independence Hall in Philly.

The most beautiful Anthropologie I’ve ever been in. 

A slightly blurry photo of Michael and I at the wedding inside of the Franklin Institute.

Inside Chelsea Market in NYC.

Hanging out at the Biergarten under The High Line in NYC.

Getting ready for Korean BBQ in Korea Town.

NYC on Memorial Day.

We walked everywhere, and I was the only one to ever try and photograph something, so it’s always blurry.  I think  it’s time I upgrade my phone.Heading back to Raleigh and flying through beautiful clouds.

Have a great weekend everyone!

What I Ate Wednesday, 6/3/15

Happy Wednesday! Lately, I’ve been trying to eat in more and out less. I was good today and I packed my breakfast and lunch so I didn’t have to buy anything at work. Getting right to what I ate today…

Breakfast

  

My breakfast was a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin. I also drank an orange juice and coffee with cream. 

Lunch

  

Lunch was leftovers from the other nights dinner. Mac and cheese and half of a bruschetta burger. I drank water with my lunch. 

Snack

   
 

After lunch, I had some snacks: strawberries and macarons. What better snack is there?!

Snack #2:

After I got home from work, I ate some Cheez-Its.

Dinner:

  
My dinner was leftovers from lunch at Ruby Tuesday yesterday with my mom and great uncle. So delicious! I drank an Earl Grey tea with my dinner as well as a bottle of water. 

I hope everyone had a great Wednesday!

Bows and Arrows,

Good morning! While most of you were still sleeping, or getting ready for work, I was on a plane to Philadelphia. I’ll be out of town for almost a week, so be sure to keep up with my adventures by following me on Instagram! 

Here’s just a few tidbits from my week.

 Our appetizer from dinner at Vivace.  
Drinking a mini frappuccino on my break at work.   
Attempting to take a picture inside the castle at the Disney store. Yes, I love the Disney store. 

  Pre-flight this morning.

   I wear my aviators because it’s just meant to be when you’re flying.

 First look at Philly.

I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend.

What I Ate Wednesday, 5/13/15

I woke up early this morning, because even though I had off, I really wanted to make the most of my day. (Whether or not I actually did is a completely different story.) Tomorrow starts my journey into working 8 days in a row, before going out of town for a wedding in Philly. Please bear with me if I’m missing for a few days during my 8 day stretch…you can find me working or packing!  And get excited for my adventure diary in the upcoming weeks!

Breakfast:

I inhaled my breakfast this morning, and I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture for you all…it was really pretty too. I went to Benelux this morning for breakfast and had a medium cup of drip coffee with cream and a Belgian waffle topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream, and lots of strawberries! It was so delicious, and I didn’t even remember to photograph it until I was driving home. Sowwy.

Snack:

While I was waiting for my lunch to finish cooking, I snacked on some Pringles. I don’t know what my deal is with these, but I’ve been snacking on them a lot lately.

Lunch:

My lunch was a quinoa bowl with wilted spinach, garlic, and provolone cheese. I also drank a sweet iced tea.

Snack:

In between lunch and dinner, I snacked on some saltwater taffy from Trader Joes. I love saltwater taffy, and this is the place I can find it without breaking the bank.

Dinner:

My dinner was something you’ve seen on here before…a bruschetta burger! I also had a side of my chickpea salad. I drank water with dinner.

After dinner snack:

I decided to drink some chamomile tea and eat a peach for dessert. I wasn’t desperately craving a snack, but I needed to eat my peach before it went bad!

I’ll probably end up caving and making myself a s’more before I go to bed, but for now, this is what I’ve eaten today!

Happy Friday!  I’ll be working all weekend, but I hope everyone has a great weekend and don’t forget to call your mom on Sunday!

I recently discovered that chocolate Lucky Charms exist.  Why I didn’t discover this sooner, I don’t know, but they must have been sent from heaven just for me!

I haven’t seen a rainbow in quite some time, but I feel like anytime there is one, everyone has to take a picture (including me).

I’ve been addicted to making S’mores lately.  So delicious and a great late night snack!

What I Ate Wednesday, 4/29/15

I hope everyone had a happy hump day! It’s that time to share with you what I ate today, so here goes!

Breakfast:

I slept in today since I didn’t have to work, and by the time I woke up, I didn’t really have much time to make breakfast before I left the house. I did however make myself a cappuccino using my Nespresso machine. I haven’t used it in a while, and I forgot how awesome it was!

Lunch: 

Since I didn’t have breakfast, I ate lunch a little early, which was leftovers from a few nights ago. I had Mongolian beef with white rice and water.

Snack:

For my snack this afternoon, I ate some snickerdoodle cookies, which I’ll share more about tomorrow!

Dinner:

I made bacon-wrapped filet mignon for dinner. My sides were steamed broccoli and wilted spinach and garlic rice. I devoured the majority of it before remembering to photograph it.

After Dinner Snack:

My snack after dinner was a cup of coffee and a bag of Skinny Girl popcorn while I watched TV.

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

What a week!  I’m not sure about you, but my week was filled with work, errands, being tired, and drinking as much coffee as possible!  Hopefully next week will be a lot more relaxed.  I hope everyone has a great weekend…here’s a small peek at my week this week.

Planning out my week.  I thought a cow sticker was appropriate for my dinner date tonight at a steakhouse.

Celebrating Earth Day making moss terrariums.

Casual outfit for the day + coffee, of course.

What I Ate Wednesday, 4/15/15

Happy Wednesday! It was gross outside all day today, and it was tax day (and I owed money, unfortunately), so it wasn’t the most wonderful day that ever was, but that’s ok, because there’s always tomorrow! Instead of me going on about how poor I am now thanks to tax season, I’ll just go ahead and let you guys know what I ate today.

Breakfast: 

I was off today so I got to sleep in. I slept in a bit later than I wanted to, so I had a late breakfast, which consisted of 2 small waffles topped with light butter, powdered sugar, and strawberries. I also drank a cup of coffee with non-fat creamer…and then had another cup.

Lunch:

Since I was home today for lunch, I decided to eat some leftovers from the fridge. I had a small Italian-style burger (recipe to come soon!) topped with my bruschetta blend and shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese (I skipped the bread). I also had a small corn on the cob as well as some garlicky green beans and a bottle of water.

Snack:

In between lunch and dinner, I snacked on some cheese Pringles and drank another cup of coffee.

Dinner:

Michael picked dinner up for us from Piola, a pizza restaurant nearby. I love their San Daniele pizza, which is topped with prosciutto. I ate half of my personal sized pizza, and had water with my dinner.

After Dinner Snack:

As I’m writing this, I’m drinking a hot English breakfast black tea. I may or may not snack on more Pringles before bed…but I’m not sure yet.

I hope everyone had a great Wednesday. Have a great rest of your work week…I’m off to work 5 days in a row now (tomorrow is like a Monday for me).

I apologize.  I have really dropped the ball on posting during my move. 😦  But, I’ve finally settled in enough to not feel crazy stressed, so I thought I’d update you on what I’ve been up to lately.  Also, I’ll be back to posting regularly next week!

I received my Julep Maven box in the mail. 🙂

50 Shades of Blue?  I really like the color blue, and sometimes I wear it all at once. 🙂
