Hello hello & happy Monday!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and are ready for the beautiful week ahead! Treat yo’self today, and accomplish those goals that you’ve been dreaming about!!

At the end of June, I took a short weekend trip to visit one of my best friends Ashley in Atlanta, Georgia! This was my first time visiting Atlanta (aside from many layovers at the airport), and we had the most fun! Ashley had an itinerary ready and filled our weekend with aesthetic cafes & local favorites!

Our first night was spent eating snacks and catching up on each other’s lives, and it was perfection! The next day we woke up early for a pure barre class at Pink Barre (aka the CUTEST barre studio ever)!

After barre we stopped for coffee and brunch at the most incredible spot, Café Intermezzo! The coffee menu alone was page after page of pure heaven (with the history of coffee & cappuccino at the beginning), and the European atmosphere was perfection! I went with a classic vanilla latte with almond milk (I wanted to try everything but unfortunately most of the options were made with dairy), and Ashley had the Cappuccino Gianduja with Nutella on the rim!

Next, we walked over to the rainbow crosswalks and visited the Ponce City Market, which was an absolute dream!!

If you are candle obsessed like I am, you NEED to stop by Candlefish! I picked out three different candles: no. 89 (a mint DREAM), and candles no.1 and no.2 from Simply Curated which I found out is a local Michigan brand!

Modern Mystic was literally my dream store, and I found way too many things! I picked up three essential oil blends, a natural candle, moonstone drops, and my new favorite crystal EVER; my pink amethyst (the pictures can’t even do this crystal justice)!

We stopped by a few more shops, went to a salad bar for dinner, and finished the day with bubble tea, HGTV, and chatting with Ashley’s roommates!

After brunch, we drove to Press & Grind so I could get an unsweetened iced black tea, Dtox Juice Bar for green smoothies, and Suzy Q Nail Bar for a pedi before my flight! I got the milk & honey pedicure, and Ashley had a cooling aloe & cucumber pedi!

After our pedicures it was time to catch my flight back to Michigan! I had the best time with Ashley, and I am hoping to visit Atlanta again someday!!

Love & Good Vibes
