Weekend Ideas are BACK!!

I’m back ladies and it’s the New Year, can you believe it?!? 2014..... who would have thunk it, as my mom would say in her most southern accent. Well since it’s the New Year I hope you've made plans to get out of the house more! Fun doesn't have to be limited to clubbing ,being reckless, and so forth- there is so much you can do as a source of entertainment that will leave you more satisfied than ever. If you were a bore in 2013, then NO MORE this year!

Food

Since I am fasting this is counterproductive for me; and since I know so many people who are fasting as well, you may want to skip over this section but I must admit once your fast is over you should come back and revisit this post. Nevertheless Top Flr, a restaurant I've heard so much about from peers, is said to have good food, good drinks, and a warm ambiance appropriate for any company, girl friends or the boo. It’s located in a small, yet tall building right next to Mary Mac’sß(which is YUCK to me). I have yet to go in myself but my friends have been dying to get me there these past few weeks.  Top Flr serves fancy Americanized healthy foods if that makes sense. For example they have mac and cheese but in addition to the traditional cheddar it also has smoked Gouda. They have duck instead of chicken, shrimp and grits but the shrimp is gulf with Andouille, etc….you get my drift?!? The prices are reasonable roughly $20 a person so it would be a great thing to do this Friday or Saturday night. If you make it let me know what you think!

 Fun & Adventurous

Annnd Ladies, I found this deal on Groupon that you really can’t afford to miss!! How about an hour massage for $25?! You deserve it; whether it's solo or with the bestie this relaxing treat would be amazing for you as you allow a  professional to works out all the kinks for you! Allow someone to help you unwind as this New Year unfolds. The spa is located in East Point and the link for the Groupon is located below.Don't worry girls, you can thank me later!

Empowerment

So I wrote a book for the New Year titled A 10 day Guide to a Better You: A journey to becoming your best self in 2014. It’s an easy read and appropriate for anyone between the ages of 18-81. I am a strong advocate for female empowerment and self-assessment as it is my desire to see all women excel.  I encourage you to start a book club or join an existing club and recommend this book to your group. It’s really simple and will ignite great conversation for the club. The link and everything you need to start this journey is listed below! Safe Travels....on your journey that is!

As always I am an advocate for fun and hard work but it all needs to be balanced with some quality time with the Father. I recommend Free Chapel, located in Gainesville, GA however they have a live stream you can enjoy from anywhere. If Free Chapel does not interest you, YouTube some sermons, visit your local church, or tune into a pastor on TV, just make sure you GET IT IN!
