Wholefoods Market & Trader Joe's

Hey,

Today we took a trip to Wholefoods and also to Trader Joe's.  While I've been to Trader Joe's multiple times I've never shopped at Wholefoods before. The purpose of the trip was to check out Wholefoods but Trader Joe's was nearby so we went there as well.

I think this little station was called nutter butter. You sort of dispense out different types of nut butter you want. We got the cashew butter and almond butter. The smell was phenomenal but I do have to say it's a lot less sweeter than other store bought prepackaged butters.

Going to any grocery store it is a must to check out the chocolate selection. There was so may kinds of chocolate available. 

I chose this dark chocolate with pear and almond. Can't wait to try it.

We saw fresh raw honey. It's perfect to sweeten my tea. There was also maple syrup and different types of oil.

They have cute bear containers to hold the honey.

There was a chile section and this mis-priced chile was spotted. Haha

They also have this cute bakery section. I loved that macaroons were sold there.

Next stop is Trader Joe's. The plaza is quite beautiful.

The quinoa section because my mom likes to add quinoa to things.

The salad selection was pretty.  I liked how there was many different kinds available.

Going to wholefoods was an experience and I will definitely be going back.

XOXO

Beginning Summer Updates

(even with an extra shot of expresso this ribbon crunch frap was too sweet for me)

Hi there,

Summer is great time to relax and recoup from the school year. Basically my days are consist of doing a short jog in the morning then working in the evening.

My nails are finally growing all nice and pretty so polish is a must but now the polish is starting to chip again. I thinking of doing a french tip of some sort.

One of the best things coming back home is getting to eat homemade waffles by my mommy. Look at how perfect it is :D

The day after my birthday my sister treated me to lunch. I got this sandwich which had turkey, ham, a and bacon. It was a big portion so I didn't even eat all of it.

The selection of pies <3

I got the banana cream pie which is forever my favorite. Oh so good :)

Went shopping the other day and did a mini Nike haul. I got a new pair of running shoes, a zip up, sweater, and pants.

Have an awesome day :D

XOXO,

Summit

Hello,

I was super excited to be invited to a summit. It was located at their tower in downtown. The summit started on early Thursday and ended around 5pm on Friday. It was a nice break from classes. After a day of presentations and hearing various speakers they treated us to dinner at Chinato's. 

Instead of salad I decided to get the tomato soup. Thank goodness I did because many people didn't like the salad. 

I got this chicken breast as the main entree. It was super good and the sauce was excellent. 

For dessert i got the chocolate mousse cake. Though I'm not a big chocolate fan this lovely dessert was good.

I got to stay at a hotel for the night.  The interior of the hotel near the entrance was really nice. There was a sitting area and also a beautiful fountain. I loved having more own room and it was so peace and quiet. The bed was a queen size which was so big and lovely. The tv was at a really awkward place and the lighting was really bad that's why my picture turned out so dark.The location was really close to the tower but the people near it looked pretty shady. 

They have this little amenities in the bathroom. I really liked that they used the Aveda brand. 

Favorite thing about hotel? I would have to say plenty of towels!

All the goodies I got that day. So much chocolate :D Despite having to wake up early staying at the hotel gave me a good night of sleep.

We had to plan and present a case study the next day so this is the result after all our hardwork. We didn't end up winning but got second place.

After the summit they gave us each a bluetooth speaker.

Overall the summit was awesome and I hope to be able to intern with them in the future.

Have a great day!

XOXO,

End of Semester, Now Summer

 Hello,

I went home briefly before finals week to celebrate my mommy's birthday. We went to her favorite place to eat which was Texas Roadhouse of course. The prime rib was excellent as usual and the place was pretty busy.

For our last business frat exec meeting our president bought us cupcakes! It was super yummy and this strawberry one was so good.

This red velvet one isn't too bad either. They are currently located at a local mall but they have a couple of other locations as well.

Pretty much my study spot for finals is starbucks. I like the atmosphere a lot though it can be easily crowded at times.

Lighting was good at my dorm so i decided to take a selfie.

We had an awards gala for my sorority so this is me with my community service co-chair. So excited to be working with her next year.

The big-little pic which I always like to take. The lighting is really good at this ballroom.

The fam although we are missing some members. Good luck to my grandbig as goes on to do case grad school. I'll miss my little one as she goes off the Ireland but I know she'll have a lot of fun.

Another good spot to study is panera. The food is so-so but the place is nice.

Now i'm back home to enjoy the summer!

XOXO,

M
