  • A Weekend of Nature, Food & New Discoveries

    This past weekend was one for the books. From breathtaking trails to mouthwatering tacos, I had the chance to tap into the beauty of Atlanta and all it has to offer. If you’re anything like me — someone who loves discovering hidden gems and creating memories one step at a time — you’ll want to add these spots to your must-visit list.

    🌳 Lullwater Park: A Hidden Oasis in the City

    I finally made my way to Lullwater Park in Atlanta — and let me just say, wow. This place is a dream if you love nature, peaceful vibes, and a little bit of adventure. The park sits on the Emory University campus and is filled with history, beauty, and even a few surprises.

    We crossed a suspension bridge (yes, it shakes a little — kinda scary, kinda thrilling 😅), explored winding trails, and came across a small waterfall that was picture-perfect. But the real kicker? A historic stone tower covered in graffiti that gave the whole area an urban-rustic charm. Fun fact: they were filming something out there while we were walking around, so you know it’s a cinematic spot!

    All around us were people relaxing in trees, chatting in the grass, having picnics, fishing, and even playing a game of dodgeball. I’d never been before, but I’ll definitely be back.

    Honestly, I think I’m turning into a full-on nature girl — and I’m not mad about it. These peaceful moments outside have been everything lately. I’m even thinking about adding Lullwater to our Women Stand Strong group’s next meetup. It’s the perfect place for laughter, reflection, and a walk with good friends.

    🌮 Taco Love at Frontera | Stone Mountain

    The other highlight of my weekend? Finally trying out the newly remodeled Frontera Mex-Mex Grill in Stone Mountain! I’d seen them working on it for a while, and I was excited to see what they did with the place.

    Let me just say, the inside is beautiful — clean, stylish, and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, the customer service was on point. And the food? 🔥 I ordered the steak taco with rice, and it did not disappoint. Flavorful, fresh, and just what I needed.

    It was my first time there, but definitely not my last. I love discovering new restaurants and getting out to support local spots. There’s so much to explore in this city — and I’m here for all of it.

    🌆 What a Weekend

    From scenic bridges and waterfalls to steak tacos and sunset drives — this weekend was a vibe. I’m grateful for these little adventures that make life feel full and rich. And you know me… I’m always on the move, so stay tuned to see what’s next!

    Until then — keep exploring, keep smiling, and don’t be afraid to try something new.

  • Self Love & Care Kit

    Self-Love & Care Kit

    Self Love

    What does Self Care mean? When I look it up it says it is the practice of individuals looking after their own health using the knowledge and information available to them.

    With Self care you can do a lot of different things. Everyone does their self-care differently. For me I like to read and listen to motivational things. I like going to pamper myself by getting a manicure and pedicure. To be in a positive and peaceful mind works for me.

    In my opinion I do think everyone needs to take out that time to themselves sometimes. Have a day to relax and pamper yourself. Maybe go to the beach, listen to the waves, relax and take your mind off everything. Sometimes that helps me and then I come back and be ready. Life can get hard, and we need a break from life.

    I love this Quote by Oprah Winfrey “Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure”.

    Care Kit

    What is a care kit? It’s a parcel of food, money, or luxury items sent to a loved one who is away.

    They have a lot of packages out there. They have some for nails, motivation, food and more. I make some sometimes for different occasions for motivation. I do one for women’s day, Breast cancer month and sometimes other holidays. These can get you through life. Some self-care kits great ideas:

    1.       Candles

    2.       Books

    3.       Chocolate

    4.       Cards

    5.       Spa items

    This mentally helps people out. Let me know what self-care means to you and what care kits you usually use.
