The best nachos and margaritas!

Hi darlings - I've fallen a little bit behind in blogging via Blogspot. I'm trying my best, just bear with me! A few weeks ago boyfriend and I decided to check out Mac Bar for a yummy snack on a cold winter's day. They serve strictly mac and cheese, the best comfort food ever! I ordered the Four Cheese and he ordered the Cheeseburger Mac. It was great for a snack. That Friday, we went on our weekly date and visited the American Museum of Natural History. I won't lie - The last time I visited this museum, it was dreadful. I was so bored and felt like crap the whole time. This time was way different (aside from the fact that I was completely hungover), I really enjoyed it! We even made it through the entire museum and picked up some goodies in the gift shop (including some space ice cream, so good!). Afterwards, we did the usual and hit up Happy Hour at Piano's. They have the best frozen margaritas (for only 4$!) and nachos, as well as chicken tenders and fries. That week was pretty eventful, and the weekend was actually quite relaxing; I know, we're awfully backwards... But hey, that's life. I hope all is well with everybody. Once again, thanks for reading and leaving feedback! I truly appreciate it. Stay amazing. XO.

Hi, loves. I hope you all are doing well. I'm doing okay. Just battling this cold weather... Ugh, I hate Winter and can't wait for Spring to arrive. Last weekend, boyfriend and I decided to venture off to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We had originally planned to visit the Guggenheim, but they were closing too early. Since the Met stays open until 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, we thought it was more convenient to visit there. Before visiting, we made a few stops in the Lower East Side. Snacking at Pommes Frites - You know I love their Mango Chutney Mayo dipping sauce and discovering this amazing Mexican heritage shop called La Sirena. I picked up two handmade plaques of Frida Kahlo (one of my favorite artists). I plan to return for some Frida earrings and maybe even the coasters. They had such beautiful, one of a kind, handmade pieces. If you live in NYC, I definitely recommend checking out (I linked the site above). Afterwards, we hit the Met for a few hours, then headed off to The Olive Garden for dinner. Following dinner, saw a movie: Love & Other Drugs, and I must say, it was beautiful. I definitely recommend it! We both really enjoyed it - Funny, sweet and warm, all at the same time. This past week was so fun-filled, I can't wait to let you in and see the photos. So exciting! Yet, so nice to just be relaxing at home for a little while, catching up on some TV time. I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! Thanks for reading, dolls. XO.
