    This place is a tropical oasis in the city! I’ve been to Bahama Breeze a few times, and even celebrated a birthday there a year or two ago. The outdoor seating, live music, and delicious food make it a great spot for any occasion. Their pasta and the pineapple bowl are my favorites. The customer service is consistently excellent, and the Caribbean island atmosphere is always a hit.

    Day 14: Cheesecaked

    Today, I want to talk about a delightful dessert spot called Cheesecaked. This place is a gem with its scrumptious creations made from scratch, offering a wide variety of flavors that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

    The atmosphere at Cheesecaked is charming and inviting, making it a perfect place to indulge in some sweet treats. The decor is colorful and playful, adding to the overall delightful experience. The friendly staff are always ready to help you choose from their extensive menu of cheesecakes and other desserts.

    I had the pleasure of interviewing the owner, Shawn Brown, for my magazine, and I must say, I’m incredibly proud of her achievements. Her passion for creating unique and delicious cheesecakes is evident in every bite. During my visit, I tried the strawberry cheesecake, which was absolutely divine. The rich, creamy texture and the perfect balance of sweetness made it an unforgettable dessert.

    Cheesecaked is not just about cheesecakes; they also offer a variety of other sweets and treats that are equally delicious. It’s a must-visit for anyone who loves desserts and wants to experience some of the best cheesecakes in Atlanta.

He’s spoken at several community events in Atlanta, always bringing a positive and uplifting message.

    I want to give him his flowers today and encourage everyone to listen to his songs like “I Can’t,” “Boomerang,” and “Accusing Me.” His voice is distinct, and his music resonates with real-life experiences. Keep being amazing, Lyfe! Make sure to check out his performances and continue to support his journey.

  • Longhorn

    Throughout July, I’ve been on a culinary journey through Atlanta, and today’s highlight is none other than Long Horn. This spot holds a special place in my heart, having enjoyed their delectable ribs, perfectly cooked steak, and succulent shrimp on multiple occasions. What really sets Long Horn apart, though, is their consistent and exceptional customer service—it’s a testament to their commitment to excellence.

    During my latest visit, I couldn’t resist capturing a moment against the backdrop of the sky, which added a magical touch to the experience. It’s these little details that make dining at Long Horn not just a meal, but a cherished memory. If you haven’t had the pleasure yet, I highly recommend you give them a try.

    Day 12: Pooch Hall

    Today, I want to shine a spotlight on the incredible Pooch Hall. I’ve always loved him on the show The Game, and meeting him in person only confirmed what a nice, humble guy he is. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Yusaf Babar Foundation and the 21 Reasons to Give event.

    When Pooch speaks in the community, he always shares positive words and uplifts the youth, helping them understand their self-worth. At various summits and speeches, Pooch passionately discusses mental health—a crucial topic that needs more attention. We all have our tough days, and his openness about mental health is both refreshing and necessary.

    Today, I want to give Pooch his roses and encourage him to keep being himself. His efforts in raising awareness and spreading positivity are truly a blessing. If you haven’t already, go back and watch some episodes of The Game and check out his other movies and shows.

    Keep shining, Pooch! 🌟

  • The Atrium at Ponce City Market

    For July, I’m spotlighting the best dining spots in Atlanta. On Day 12, I had the pleasure of visiting The Atrium at Ponce City Market with my women’s group. The food was exceptional, and the interior ambiance was just as impressive.

    It was a fun coincidence that my outfit perfectly matched the restaurant’s color scheme, making for some great photos! All the ladies enjoyed their meals, and we had a fantastic time.
