    Durham Date Night: Cucciolo Osteria

    If Cucciolo Osteria has been on your list forever (like it was for me), here’s a sign to move it up your list! We recently went for my belated birthday dinner and had a lovely experience. This blog post will not have a lot of photos because we went for a late dinner and the lighting wasn’t great (and you know my iPhone 11 is not equipped for poor indoor lighting lol); I will do my best to describe everything! We managed to get a Sunday evening reservation though we were looking sort of late. When you make a reservation, you can choose Standard (tables), Bar, or High Top. Proportionally,…

    Mumbles 11.14.2021

    Hi, friends! I didn’t get to take a photo of my outfits this past week (though I did put on real clothes most of the day) but I wanted to share some highlights from this past week(end) nonetheless. I am calling this Mumbles like my Monthly Mumbles–I might just renamed the “Week in Outfit” series as Mumbles in case this last week is indicative of many upcoming weeks haha. Not pictured but Alex and I last minute decided to go to trivia at a brewery nearby. We ended up getting there right on time and had trouble finding parking because they were so busy! We have been there a few…

    Last week was a short work week for me because I took a trip out to Austin, TX for my birthday weekend! This week, I feel like I am forever catching up on work and life but I am hoping to be caught up and fully rest this upcoming weekend (but maybe this will happen Thanksgiving weekend 🙈). MONDAY White Top + Plaid Skirt + Jack Rogers It was a normal low-key workday for the most part, which is always a good way to start off a week. After work, Alex and I debated between going to an outdoor workout class and seeing Dune at the movie theater. The latter…

    What We Did and Ate in Austin, TX

    For my birthday this year, I took a trip to Austin with Alex, my mom, and one of my sisters. We were only in town for two and half days but managed to do eat and do a bunch of stuff (despite very last minute planning too). Obviously, I am not an Austin expert by any means but hope some people find this post helpful! Eat (Breakfast) Tacos Our very first meal in Texas was tacos, of course! After some brief research on Reddit, we decided to go to Veracruz for breakfast tacos. They have several locations throughout town (and are opening a location in Koreatown in LA!) and we…

    LAST WEEK: Inspired by a book I read recently, I have been making effort to wake up earlier around 6am. I would say 7am is my happy wake up time, and I used to get up at 6am but recently, I have been sleeping in until 8am so far it’s a work in progress. On the days I woke up early last week, I worked on the blog before my day job which is why I have been cracking out more blog posts recently! THIS WEEK: I am going to Austin this weekend! I have always wanted to go to Austin, and it’s going to be my first time in…
