Always Be Who You Really Are...Set Your Soul Free

Be creative. Love life. Be good to your body. Stay up late. Volunteer with every cause that makes your heart happy. Love with all your heart, so big that when people leave they never ever forget you. Play in the grass. Blast your music and dance. Meditate. Tip even if it’s a dollar in ever tip jar you see. Smile at everyone you walk by. Walk with your head up high. Be sincere and empathetic and laugh at everything. Set your soul free!

Girls Night...When Was Your Last One?

We had such a great time in Atlanta together we had to plan another night. Luckily we were able to get a room and tickets to see Impractical Jokers at Mohegan Sun.

Girls weekends are the best. It’s nice to not have to take care of anyone but yourself every once in a while. Planning last minute getaways are my favorite.

Mohegan Sun is only 90 mins away so it’s nice to have a place to go. Having a room is so convienent and I absolutely love hanging by the fire pit or walking around the casino early morning.

I am not a gambler but I will admit I do get an urge to put a $20 in a machine. We were walking around and I put $20 in the Bachelor penny slot machine. One pull and all these things are going off. We had no clue what was going on. I ended up wining $50 Not bad for one pull and $50 on a penny slot machine.

Life is about creating memories with those who enjoy being by your side. Who jump at the opportunity to

hang with you. Love these girls who know how to make me laugh, party and have fun together. Appreciate your tribe! Don’t force others to be in your life who don’t want to be. Embrace and love those who do!

Ballo Italian Restaurant: Cheese Wheel

I kept seeing this and had to try it so when my Dad said we could pick a place for dinner, even though it was his birthday,I had to pick Ballo. Their cheese wheel pasta is an appetizer for $25 which is a portion size for 1-2 people as an appetizer. They do NOT have this on their menu. It’s a secret item that you have to order when you are there.

They served it as a truffle Mac and cheese. I wish it was a little hotter but it was absolutely delicious. So they put a little grain alcohol in the wheel. Light it then start scraping the cheese. They add a ton of parmigiana cheese, black truffle and then cooked pasta. Mix it all in the cheese wheel and serve. I LOVED this. I love new, creative food and experiences.

We also enjoyed their fried calamari, pork belly, lobster and shrimp ravioli and zuppa di pesce.

It was my Dad’s birthday so we surprised him with decorations and a birthday cake. He totally felt like a king. Was a great night.
