All I can say is "Wow". Totally blown away br the omakase experience @districtmatl in Sandy Springs. 🍣🍣🍣 ***************************** Chef Jackie Chang and his entire staff put together a phenomenal show and tasting for anyone who can appreciate this style of dining. ****************************** One of my favorites was the wagyu with uni and a surprise was the avocado with citrus sauce (just so many flavors going on there)! 🥑🍋🥑 I can't wait to go back and enjoy this gorgeous space again! Swipe ⬅️ to see more sushi + design porn. 🍱⛩
Last year, I got the boudoir photo bug. I saw several women's photos and decided I wanted one. While i partially did it for my husband, it was more for me than anything or anyone else.❤💋 ***************************************** I've always struggled with my body image. Being short + loving food is a curse. Despite how hard I try to keep slim, it feels like I can gain weight just by looking at food. Do you ever feel that way? But I'm so tired of hating my body. 😢 *******************************************Over the last six years I've been dedicated to hitting it hard at the gym. And, while I know I'm no supermodel, I've actually reached a time / age in my life that I'm kind happy with my body. Sure, it isn't perfect, but it is me. And I'm okay with that.🏋️‍♀️ ******************************************** I didn't plan this, but it's fitting that my Boudoir photo session article is out on National Women's Day! Thank you @mirrored_images_boudoir for making me look AND feel Sexy AF‼💯 If you are thinking about doing a boudoir session consider this your sign it is time! And here's everything you need to know to prepare for it: https://roamilicious.com/boudoir-photo-shoot-things-learned/.

Here's my @watershedatl evening in reverse, starting with this glorious mint chocolate pie 🍰 *************************** Then there was that lovely piece of Redfish topped with lump crab and uni butter 🦀 *******************************Oh and first but not least, the cocktails! Swipe to see the video of the COTTON CANDY cocktail. And you can't go wrong with an Old Fashione either!! 🍸🥃 ****************************** Which part of dinner so you think you would enjoy most? 👏 ****************************** #truetoatlanta #atlantaeats #atlantablogger #atlantafood #atlfoodie #igersatlanta #weloveatlanta #bestfoodinatl #atlantarestaurants #atlantalife #atlantaevents #atlantasnaps #southerneats #southernfood #roamilicious #weloveatl #watershedmoment
Finally, some great deep dish pizza in Atlanta! Welcome @ginoseast! 🍕🍕🍕 *********************** Your Chicago Fire did me in! I am hooked! And I ❤ the local elements that you've incorporated like using a local street artist to paint murals (swipe ⬅️), a bunch of local craft beers on tap + and this gorgeous neon sign!! 🍺🍺 *********************** Can't wait to come back for more pies and that tiramisu!! 🍰 #DeepAF
After so many dreary days in Atlanta, I am definitely in need of some sunshine. 🌞 ***************************** I am so ready for not only sunny days but LONGER days (cant wait for that time change in couple weeks!!⏱) & warmer weather!! ***************************** If I can't be at the beach and the pool, I'm bringing it to me a la this pic from my visit to @visitalbeaches + @lodgegsp last fall. I wrote about it here - https://roamilicious.com/gulf-state-lodge-gulf-shores-al/. I loved that you pretty much have the beach to yourself because the property spans so much of the beach front. 🏖🏝🌞 ******************************* Where's your favorite beach getaway within driving distance?
GIVEAWAY TIME ‼ CONTEST ENDED If you haven't discovered the awesomeness that is @Firebirds you are totally missing out! Their "Firebar" (yep that's what it is called) features craft cocktails + happy hours specials M-F. *******************************Me? I never miss out on an opportunity to have their steaks! So incredible! Just swipe ⬅️ to see what I'm talking about. And for a limited time they've got crab cakes + steak specials on the menu. Did you catch my Insta stories from when I visited Sunday, hmmm? But I'm not here just to brag. 👏 I’m also giving away a $50  gift card - congrats to winner @becky_ruskin!! 1️⃣ Like this post.

What do you do when you have a craving for a certain dish? As a food obsessed gal, once a craving strikes, it NEVER subsides. 😋 ********************* This week that craving was sushi. So with a meeting on the books, I suggested @hopstix in Chamblee for a meetup. Even if he didn't want sushi there's still ramen 🍲and even 🌮 on the menu too. ********************* Don't judge but I also had a Japanese beer with lunch. I mean it's brewed with chrysanthemum so I mean how can you pass that up? #atlfoodie #atleats #weloveatl #chooseatl #igersatlanta #atlsushispot #atlantaeats #atlantafood #atlantarestaurants #foodexplorers #roamilicious
Happy (almost) Valentine's Day! There are more romantic things than roses, chocolate or champagne. Case in point is smuggling up with your sweetie on a luxury mattress! ❤💋 *********************** After a dozen years, we said goodbye to our old mattress and treated ourselves to a @saatva mattress at the beginning of this year and it has been wonderful with restful sleep night after night. 🛌💯 *********************** Besides being Made in the USA 🇱🇷 they make their mattresses with organic items plus their online only presence allows for them to charge much less for a luxury mattress than comparable mattresses. I wrote all about my online research and experience here: https://roamilicious.com/buy-mattress-online Would you consider buying a mattress online? ********************** Sweet dreams, friends! 😴😴😴
Something really special arrives in the mail! I am so thrilled to be a certified judge for the @worldfoodchampionships! They only have a handful each year and I'm thrilled I was chosen to be certified last year and judge the seafood competition in @visitalbeaches! 🐟🦀🦑🦐🐙 ******************** #foodsports #foodchamps #foodjudge #eeeeats #seafoodlovers #cardcarryingmember #worldfoodchampionships #judge #foodcompetition #lovewhatido❤️
Though I don’t make resolutions, there are areas of improvement in my life I strive for. One of those is to make more time for those people that really matter in my life. So many friends now have a family to get home to after work, so lunch is a great option! ******************** I’m kind of smitten with the lunch menu @watershedatl. I mean, fried oysters with a pickled quail egg? How’s that for fancy on weekday? ******************************** And you guys know I am a total slut for a good burger, right?  Swipe left and take a look at that hunk of meat! And don’t forget those fries! But the coolest thing on the lunch menu has got to be the SOUTHERN BENTO BOX🍱: fried chicken drumstick, beef rib, macaroni salad, greens, deviled egg.  That's all your Southern food groups represented right there! 🍗🥩🥗🥚 ********* Just go ahead and save this post right now so you remember where to go next week. #atlfoodie #lunch #exploreatl #southernfried #weloveatl #atlfoodblogger #iloveatlanta #buckhead #igersatlanta #southerneats #atlfoodies #foodexplorers #foodietribe #atlantaeats #atleats #atlantafood #atlantarestaurants #eatingthroughatlanta #bentobox
