Earlier this year, I shared about treating myself to some pampering at Paintbox — the super-chic nail salon in Soho, which sets the trend on cool nail designs. Now, in that same post (which you can read here), I also explained how while I love getting my nails done, limited time and the way my bank account is set up lead me to usually do my nails at home instead of at the salon. At 10 o’clock at night. With the hopes that I won’t wake up with little lines all over my nails from the bed sheets.
It’s Friday, friends. This is the mixtape. And this week was definitely a mix of highs and lows.
There were good things like celebrating the second anniversary of our church community, finishing The Get Down, seafood tacos at Lulu’s Taqueria, nights at home without any commitments, and visiting Jordan’s grandmother where Jameson called her “GG!” (And yes, I’m still waiting on him to call me anything that sounds remotely close to “Mommy.” #salty)
A few months ago, while killing time on a long flight, Jordan watched a show that profiled places where NYC chefs eat, when they’re off the clock and without obligation to be at their own restaurant.
Jordan came home from that trip, raving about the show and insisting that we had to check out a few of the profiled restaurants — one being Five Leaves in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. For outings like these, I need very little convincing.
