Whoa! What a week! Here are a few snippets from the last week.
1. Overpriced Tea. I went to a friends birthday tea at Sea Grille at Rowes Wharf, and the service and overall experience left something to be desired. Our tea was cold and there was a pathetic amount of sandwiches and treats for $50 per person. The assistant manager called me back when I called to complain, but they made excuses and did not invite me back. I guess when you depend on wealthy tourists to support you, people who live and work in the city dont matter!
2. Last week of Whole Life Challenge. This is the final week of 6. While I feel like I have developed some great habits, I do not feel like I have lost weight. I can just tell by how things fit or don’t fit. My problem: grazing! I have been sticking to my workouts and tracking my activities.
3. #scenicsundays. I started a new feature on my Instagram: #scenicsundays. I will be sharing a shot of a place I love each week. I hope you enjoy!
4. Adler Grier: A pretty new discovery for me of a small jewelry maker on the East Coast. I love their Swarovski pearl jewelry. Another small, women-owned business who laws classics for all women. I am all in, and I am so happy to be working with them!
5. Quenelles to die for at Bar Lyon. Okay, I thought that the menu at Bar Lyon was limited for a pescatarian like me, so I had not gone. I went last week to have dinner with my darling friend, and I ordered a quenelle as an appetizer. Quenelles are pile (fish) dumplings that are light and airy with a sauce. It was to die for. I wanted to go back every week.
6. Political ads. I was thinking about the hundreds of millions that the candidates are spending on advertising. What a horrible waste of money. I wish that a big chunk of that would be directed to building shelters for homeless people and animals.
7. Credo is having a sale!! There are some amazing deals, including a Red Flower set with my favorite rose serum that retailer for $120 and is now $37 (I ordered two)! I linked my picks here, along with a few new arrivals.
8. Duffield Lane just launched their Spring line, and it’s adorable. I will be writing more about this, but, in the meantime, you can shop the new releases here.
9. Nemo. This is Nemo. He is 11 and FIV+, living in Daytona. His people don’t want him anymore. If you are interested or know someone in that area who is or can foster, let me know. Giving up a senior pet for no good reason is horrible.
10. Pink For Pigs. 9 year old Alaina started Pink For Pigs to educate people about the myths on teacup pigs, potbelly pigs and mini/micros pigs. She makes merchandise and gives profits to pig rescues. Bravo!
Have a great week, everyone!
Xx, Jen
