Happy Friday and cheers to the weekend. I hope your week was magical as mine. Today’s recap include media events and home life. It’s been a busy week also a short one as my children had a day off from school. So how did I do in the management of life this week?
Renault Winery Last Friday Adventures
If you missed the blog, go back and read it. It was an amazing time. As much wine as I drink I loved visiting this stellar winery. If you love wine you will love it too. It’s located about an hour and 10 minutes from Philadelphia. It’s also family friendly although I would prefer to go next time with my husband as a date without the kids. There’s plenty to do from eating, drinking, ice-skating, and events.
Contour Body Studio
I attended the Grand Opening of Contour Body Studio in the Mainline. What a welcome and reception. I loved the staff who was warm and inviting. I had two services done to preview the location. The first was Cryo Mist. It was like blast of artic cold on my face. It’s only on the face for 2 minutes on both sides. I enjoyed it. I didn’t experience any pain or uncomfortableness.
Onto my massage that was Heaven. I was expecting it to be really short. However I had a full body massage and it was everything and more. So if you are in or near the Mainline, make sure to check them out. You can check out my Reel recap too. Also check out their services and consider gifting the gift of self care to someone in your life that needs it. Contour Body Studio is Woman and Black owned. They are professional, courteous, and helpful.
Brunch with Santa
We enjoyed some amazing food at The Olde Bar. It’s located in Philadelphia and its a must visit. The kids loved seeing Santa. If you remember we did the online version with The Olde Bar during the height of the Pandemic. Seeing the big man himself was everything. The Real Santa Philly is a treasure. He loves what he does and it shows. He was one of the most down to Earth Santa I had experienced. So what can you expect at the Brunch with Santa? Its buffet style with everyone wearing their mask when they visit and get their food. There are a lot of amazing options for children and adults. There are 3 items such as their Shrimp and Grits or Crab Omelette that can be ordered and brought to your table. Take pictures and video with Santa and make memories. In order to make your reservation for this Sunday, call the restaurant at 215-253-3777. Also you can see my recap Reel.
No School Day
My kids enjoyed their day off. They stayed in their pajamas for the most part. I took the oldest to the hair salon to get her hair done for the holidays. I enjoyed seeing how excited they were about having time off. We watched Diary of a Wimpy Kid together. My son loves that series. Although I didn’t have a full day off I still enjoyed how flexible my schedule is to be able to share moments with them. Also is my cat the only one who loves to be swaddled?
Friday Movie Drop: West Side Story
Walt Directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award® winner Tony Kushner, “West Side Story” tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love in 1957 New York City. This reimagining of the beloved musical stars Ansel Elgort (Tony); Rachel Zegler (María); Ariana DeBose (Anita); David Alvarez (Bernardo); Mike Faist (Riff); Josh Andrés Rivera (Chino); Ana Isabelle (Rosalía); Corey Stoll (Lieutenant Schrank); Brian d’Arcy James (Officer Krupke); and Rita Moreno (as Valentina, who owns the corner store in which Tony works).
Its’s out today. I took my friends Elle and Akira to the opening premiere. We had a blast. Elle had never seen it and Akira loved it since the original. So it was a great time had by all. It’s in theatres today on this amazing Friday.
Conversations with Toi Friday Episode Drop
It’s another Friday and that means a new episode of the podcast is out. I love this podcast and I hope you do too. With that being said we talk today about holiday anxiety and finding joy in life around us. So much loss is happening. We have to be intentional with joy. Joy isn’t something that you buy. So take a listen. Make sure you subscribe, review, and share.
Today’s drink of the day is Peppermint Hot Chocolate and it can be spiked. Enjoy
Congratulations to The Fin
The Fin opened up yesterday. It’s a surf and turf location that is a beauty to see. The TV screens are larger than life. They have so many amazing options. If you are looking for a seafood and steak location make sure you choose The Fin.
Have a great weekend. Enjoy your time. Do something for yourself that you love. Take some time out to enjoy your holidays. Sometimes wit the hustle and bustle of the stress of getting it all done, we forget to simply enjoy it.
