After eating out a bazillion times with the parents and the birthday/holiday celebration in the middle of the week, I was in need of a low key weekend.

Friday night, Matt and I met two Atlanta friends for burgers at the famous Vortex. I had the guac black bean burger and it was honestly one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. I also looved the zucchini fries on the side. Too bad this left me a bad stomach ache a few hours later. After dinner, I finally rented Jane Eyre, and while I enjoyed seeing the book brought to life, I didn’t think the movie even compared to the book.

Saturday night was even more relaxed. Just a bottle of wine, a homemade pizza, and another movie. My dad gave us this Spanish red and it was bursting with flavor. We accidentally drank the whole bottle:)


Just a simple pie with jack cheese, goat cheese, green peppers, and basil.

We watched ‘We Bought a Zoo’ which was very cute.
Today was mostly devoted to creating a wedding website but it also involved a relaxed trip to the gym, working at the coffee shop, an evening walk, mac + cheese, and the last of Matt’s birthday cake. For the first time in a while, I actually need to get to bed at decent hour because I’m going to be babysitting for the month of July. Back to work I go…

I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
That sure was good birthday cake!
If you need a fellow foodie to go try any new restaurants with you, this Atlanta native gladly volunteers to go with you.
You’ve already hit up many of my favorite places, and you’re definitely living in the right ‘hood for lots of yummy eats!
I’d love to!!
