Bonita Jalane Lights Up Atlanta City Winery with a Show-Stopping, Sold-Out Performance!

Had an absolute blast supporting the incredible Bonita Jalane at Atlanta City Winery! I’ve got a serious love affair with City Winery – this was my second visit this year, and each time has been an absolute delight, especially when cheering on someone I know.

Bonita took the stage with pure magic, and what made it even more fantastic was that she was the sole act of the night—no opening acts, just Bonita shining like the star she is. The show was nothing short of epic, with a sold-out crowd turning up to show their love and support. Talk about a rockstar moment!

I can’t help but feel a surge of pride for Bonita. Selling out a show in Atlanta is no small feat, and she nailed it! And did I mention she’s got a new single out? Trust me, it sounds as good as the energy in that packed venue.

I’ve been on this journey with Bonita for some years now, even had the incredible opportunity to interview her before. Watching her take the stage and own it was a surreal experience. If you haven’t already, make sure to check her out on IG @bonitasings – she’s the real deal!

Here’s to Bonita Jalane, rocking 2024 like a true superstar. Wishing her nothing but the best – can’t wait to see what incredible steps she takes next! 🎤✨

With over 25 years of culinary expertise, Chef Wic is not only a master in the kitchen but also an active contributor to our community.

I recently had the pleasure of indulging in Chef Wic’s creations at both Trend Urban Cafe and Guac Taco Studio. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out—my personal favorite is the mouthwatering Salmon Burger at Trend Urban Cafe. It’s a culinary experience you won’t forget!

Love & Positive Vibes

Greetings, amazing community members!

Happy February, the month of love and self-discovery! As we dive into the second month of the year, let’s take a moment to reflect on the incredible experiences we shared in January.

Our New Year kicked off with a bang as we embarked on a journey of self-reflection with Vision Jars. Each jar held the potential for personal growth and exciting adventures. I’m thrilled to share a glimpse into my own jar revelations. For my self-love goal, I set my sights on enhancing my blogging skills – a journey that promises exciting discoveries and creative expression.

Speaking of adventures, I treated myself to a cinematic delight by fulfilling my jar’s directive to take myself to the movies. “The Color Purple” musical was an absolute gem, and if you’re a fan of musicals and the classic movie, you’re in for a treat! The stellar performances left me in awe, and I’m sure you’d love it too.

Another jar revelation led me to engage in meaningful outreach. I spent time at a local senior home, contributing to their community and making lasting connections. Bingo with the residents brought joy and laughter, creating memories that warm my heart.

As we step into this new month, the anticipation builds for fresh goals and self-love adventures. If you’re feeling inspired, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey! Share your aspirations and let’s support each other in making February extraordinary.

On a different note, I’ve been relishing my time at Crunch in Tucker – a fantastic gym where I’ve been breaking a sweat and enjoying invigorating Zumba classes. Trust me; it’s a fitness haven worth exploring!

Last but certainly not least, our book club delved into the captivating world of “All the Light We Cannot See” in January. If you haven’t joined CeCe’s Book Club yet, you’re missing out on thought-provoking reads and engaging discussions. Find us on Facebook and Instagram for more details!

Bombing Fun: Conquering Challenges at Beat the Bomb in Atlanta!”

Recently, my girls and I checked off a major item from our Atlanta bucket list – experiencing the adrenaline-pumping adventure at Beat the Bomb in Atlanta, GA. Let me tell you, it was an absolute blast, and we’re so glad we finally took the plunge!

If you’ve ever tried an escape room, imagine that but cranked up with an extra dose of excitement and a sprinkle of games. Beat the Bomb is the perfect blend of teamwork, strategy, and sheer fun. Picture this: a room filled with lasers, a challenge to solve, and a whole lot of moving around – it’s like a dance party, but with a twist!

We faced the ultimate test of teamwork in the room with lasers, and let me confess – it was an exercise for both the body and the brain. There were moments of hilarity as we dodged, ducked, and dove to overcome the laser obstacles. Spoiler alert: we didn’t manage to beat the bomb, and as a result, we got a colorful paint shower. But you know what? It was totally worth it, and we wore those paint splatters like badges of honor!

So, if you find yourself in the Atlanta area and you’re craving a unique and thrilling experience with your family and friends, Beat the Bomb is the place to be. Trust me; you won’t be disappointed – just be prepared to move, laugh, and create memories that will have you talking about it for weeks!

Here’s to conquering challenges and embracing the paint splatters of fun!

Cheers to unforgettable adventures!

Journey with Cece Book Club in 2024!

Diving into the literary wonders of 2024, my reading journey has been nothing short of enchanting. With each page turned, I’ve explored diverse worlds, from the whimsical “Again But Better” by Christine Riccio to the gripping “Never Never” by Colleen Hoover. Pinky Cole’s “I Hope You Fail” and Hannah Brencher’s “If You Find This Letter” stirred my soul, while KJ Miccich’s “Book Proposal” and John Kralik’s “365 Thank Yous” left me inspired and motivated.

These exceptional reads sparked a creative fire within me, leading to a personal project inspired by the profound messages found in these pages. But the literary adventure doesn’t stop there – I’ve also embarked on a fascinating journey with my book club, Cece Book Club. Every month, we select a book and delve into virtual discussions that transcend the boundaries of pages.
