Happy happy Friday everyone! This week has absolutely flown by, been incredibly busy on the work front and has also been eventful outside of work as well. Next weekend I will be headed to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Anyone have any suggestions of places to go or restaurants to try? Not sure how much spare time I will have to explore, but I’d still love to hear your suggestions!
This week, my adventures included:
+ Discovering a new store in Dallas called Nicole Kwon in West Village. The store has something on everyone’s budget and some of the prettiest handmade jewelry I’ve seen from a variety of designers in New York.
+ Listening to this awesome (and hilarious) message at Watermark Church on dating myths. So many things to think about and great perspective on topics our society has decided are important that just really aren’t.
+ Tonight I am going to a Bollywood birthday bash and learning how to Bollywood dance! Wish me luck!
