Brunchin in Brooklyn

Today Amy and I brunched in BK at Bar Talbac and isn't our food so photogenic?

It tasted as amazing as it looks. I am going to make that quinoa salad.  

Amy and I had the cutest waiter serve us and he had the most adorable accent. I guess he thought we were cute too!:) Nikita is Amy's roommates dog. We brought her along to brunch today. 

Me, My Mom and I

I have to give a little shout out to my mother dearest for helping me get situated in my new apartment. 

My mom has ALWAYS been super mom. She will do anything for her children. She still mails me care packages and has ever since I moved away for college years and years ago. When she came to visit me in the city for a day, she bought my week's worth of groceries, took out my trash, cleaned my apartment, bought us cleaning supplies...I mean the list goes on. 

One thing that is great about my new apartment is its location. It is in the heart of the Upper West Side with prime restaurants all down the block. When I walk out my front door I have the choice of sushi, thai, italian, southern cooking, etc..etc... My mom and I decided on thai food at Spice. It was SO good. We ordered pork buns (I LOVE PORK BUNS) curry and shrimp pad thai :) When momma comes to town I eat like a queen!!!!! MOM, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING! Mwah!

Making Myself Right At Home

So....great news. I am finally moved into my new apartment and it is a very wonderful feeling. August was a dramatic month of uncertainty and it is nice to finally feel settle. I am making myself right at home here on the Upper West Side. New York is the most charming place in the whole world and I get chills just walking to work, it makes me so happy. 

Tonight my roommate brought me home a whole bag of John Masters skin and haircare products. I was so excited, because I love John Masters. Some brands just make you fall in love. You have no idea what sets them a part,  you just know they work perfect for you!! 

This past week I have been revisiting a few of my favorite songs (which I posted below.) At nights and on weekends I look forward to grabbing a bottle of red wine, pouring myself a drink and listening to my favorite music. What is life if we can't experience all that it has to offer.

(FYI I repost this song all of the time, but I think it is so cute)
