Happy #nationalwineday friends! Though the weekend forecast is HOT I'm glad there's no rain to spoil pool time. **************************** Protip: if you live in a neighborhood full of screaming little monsters that have no discipline, head to your pool early in the am to avoid them. It worked like a charm yesterday - 1 hour and 20 minutes of bliss! **************************** Thanks to my friends over at @butternutwine for sending me these cute cans I can enjoy poolside. #wineday #pooltime🏊 #wineinfluencer #wineinacan #yeswayrosé
Forget 🐓and waffles, you need to have CATFISH and waffles!! @catfishhox serves up some of the best catfish I've had in my life! Swipe ⬅️ to see it up close. So good I think I've just talked myself into dinner there tonight. ******************************** #friedcatfish #itswhatsfordinner #atlanta #southerncomfortfood #bestatalantarestaurants #atlantablogger #truetoatlanta #atleats #atldining
What an incredible day spent with my mentor and friend, Doc Lawrence! If you are fortunate you get to meet someone like Doc who is giving of their time, resources, knowledge and contacts. I'm so lucky we met and instantly became friends. I know I wouldn't have made it this far without his support and guidance. ****************************** Exciting things coming from us in the near future. Stay tuned! #mentor #atlanta #iloveatlanta #bedowntown #centerforcivilandhumanrights
Love this cozy chair, don't you?? Perfect for sipping wine and reading on my porch. **************************** What is your favorite porch / patio accessory? #prettyporchesandpatios #porches #patiofurniture #roamilicious
I can't believe I've gone all my potato-chip-eating-life without having delicious @rt11potatochips? ****************************** Yesterday, I visited them at their facility and got to try their chips hot off the line. I even watched the slice to spice process. My favorite flavor was the sour cream and chive but salt & vinegar was a close 2nd. What's your favorite chip flavor? ****************************** #roamilicious #potatochip #travelblogger #willtravelforfood #virginiashenandoahvalley #route11 #saltandvinegar #saltandvinegarchips
Yes way, "Pink Chicken" Rosé! I'm not entirely sure how this wine 🍷got its name but I love the deep pink color. If you visit @veramarvineyard you won't have a shortage of insta worthy photo opps. Plus it is only $10 for 8 tastes!! 🥂 ******************************* #discoverWinchester #virginiashenandoahvalley #southerntravels #travelblogger #roamilicious #wineoftheday #wineandwomen
My hotel has a beautiful indoor pool and it's all mine this evening! Do you often use the indoor pools when you travel or are you more interested in getting out and seeing the sights? **************************** #discoverWinchester #virginiashenandoahvalley #southerntravels #travelblogger #roamilicious #poolsofinstagram #historichotels
Ah, the #datenight trifecta, aka stop 3 on my date night crawl @roswellprovisions! It is part coffee spot, dessert spot and super fun live music venue!! ☕🥮🎵 ***************************** Loved discovering these incredible spots in my city!! Have you ever done a date night crawl? ****************************** #atleats #atlantadining #atlantarestaurants #atlantablogger #atlfun #weloveatlanta #visitroswellga #roswellga #hosted #dessert🍰 #livemusicrocks #datenightcrawl
In my last post, I shared the perfect spot for drinks on your perfect date night. BUT I love me some good sushi and was thrilled to discover @monkey68ATL.🍣🍱🍣 First of all, I love restaurants that are in converted homes. But how cute is the design here? Swipe ⬅️ to see what I mean. ***************************** I know this was a date night crawl, but we couldn't resist the squid legs app. And then proceeded to eat ALL THE SUSHI! First we had 2 signature rolls, Toro on Fire (OMG - I'm hooked) and the Gangnam style (ribeye - sorry sushi purists - not sorry) it was delicious! And then we followed that up with the Chef's Sashimi platter. 🥢🥢 We're gluttons I know! ****************************** So, if the design + sushi isn't enough to make you run there, get this, they have a cocktail for every Chinese New Year sign. Can I tell you a secret? I cheated! I got the 🐇 for the ginger and gin combo, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. I promptly caved and got my sign - 🐲 which is uber cool! Swipe left to see the video! ***************************** See the trifecta of #datenight! #atleats #atlantadining #atlantarestaurants #atlantablogger #atlfun #weloveatlanta #visitroswellga #roswellga #atlsushi #sushiglutton #bestsashimi #hosted
I don't know about you, but I'm ALWAYS looking for way to make #datenight with the hubby more creative. And even if you're an OTPer like moi, that doesn't mean you can't find fun ideas! So, I'm spilling the beans on my fantastic date night crawl! Yep, we went to 3 different spots - one for drinks + apps, one for entrees and one for dessert + entertainment. And we found it all in Roswell, GA. Date night stop 1 was @whiskeyprojectATL. Sure, if you love whiskey they've got whiskey that'll leave you in awe, or if you're a Manhattan fan like me, GET ONE! 🥃🥃🥃But honestly they have all kinds of crazy good cocktails, no matter what your booze of choice. Of course you need to something to put in your stomach to stand up to that booze, and we couldn't think of anything better than their shrimp fritters. Swipe ⬅️ to see more yumminess. Pro tip: Make sure to reserve their comfy leather chairs for your date night! Check out my next post for Date night stop 2! #atleats #atlantadining #hosted #atlantarestaurants #atlantablogger #atlfun #weloveatlanta #visitRoswellGA #roswellga
