Many things have happened in the time that I was away-- let me break it down for ya!
In the beginning of March I was nominated for an award at my company's management awards; the BMA's if you will. This was something that was so exciting for me-- I never get awards lol... The BMA's were super fun and , while I didn't win, I was so proud of myself for even getting nominated in the first place. I had a small problem trying to find a dress for the event, but eventually I found a really fun red dress at BCBG. Here are some pics from that night!
Ohhh there was also a photobooth-- which my team took full advantage of!

I was also able to make a quick trip up to NYC to see two of my favorite people in the world-- Carly and Kyle! Carly and I have been friends since our freshman year at East Carolina University-- go Pirates! I always love being able to take a quick bus ride up to the city to see her and we always have an amazing time! I got there early Friday afternoon and we just did some errands before we had to get ready for dinner. Carly had made reservations at a restaurant on the lower east side called The Stanton Social. I have read some things about it and we pretty excited about trying it out. While getting ready for dinner Carly and I were having too much fun with lipsticks lol... we both decided on a nice, bold lip :)
Our night started with a stressful cab ride to dinner-- he had no clue where he was going and that is never fun. Once we got there our table wasn't ready and they had us wait at the bar upstairs. We had a few cocktails and eventually made it to our table. The restaurant had a really cool vibe and we were having a great time! The Stanton Social is a tapas restaurant and we had a lot of things to choose from. They recommend each person at the table ordering two dishes so everyone has enough to share. The final menu choices were:- Red Snapper Tacos
- Maryland Jumbo Lump Crabcake 'Corn Dogs' (sounds scary-- they were AMAZING)
- Chorizo and Roasted Poblano Mac & Cheese
- Sliders (Italian Sausage and Peppers and Kobe Philly with Truffle and Goat Cheese Fondue)
- French Onion Soup Dumplings
The French Onion Soup Dumplings were the grand winner of choices from the night. O.M.G. they were so delicious!! This was the dish with the most recommendations on different websites... ohhhh were they right!
Saturday we woke up with a little hangover lol... but we had reservations at a great restaurant up the street from their place called Jacob's Pickles. I was able to try fried pickles for the first time there and they were so good! I have a weird obsession with pickles and I do not know how I have made it this long without having them! Carly and I had fresh mimosas and Kyle had a massive bloody mary! This thing was more like a work of art than an actual drink lo...
They had warned me that the portions were pretty big-- but I didn't realize just how big they were. I ordered the bacon, egg, cheese and chicken breakfast sandwhich. This thing was massive! I could only eat half of it! To work off our breakfast Carly and I went shopping! I spent way too much on make up and such, but I had a great time. We finally worked up an appetite and stopped for a quick lunch of wings and chicken tenders lol... perfect food to watch March Madness at the bar.
My only request for the weekend was to make a trip to SoHo and have lunch at Cafe Habana. They have the most amazing Cuban sandwiches and grilled corn that is to die for! The corn is my favorite part lol-- I will learn how to make this! I realize that that weekend was not at all "diet" friendly-- but ohhhh was it delicious! Out of the 10 lbs that I lost during that time I have managed to keep 8 off. I am planning on getting myself together and keeping the weight loss going... so wish me luck!
Have you taken any fun trips recently?
