Weekending | Snow Storms & Birthdays


Hello there friends and happy Monday!! This weekend packed a punch in the best way possible – it came in three parts: relaxation, productivity & fun times!! Here’s what we got up to! 


Friday, snow storm Lexi decided to dump a little bit of snow on the city and it made for a seriously gorgeous sunset and I stopped every chance I could to take pictures around the city! Not wanting to brave the colder temps at night we decided to stay in and watched a so-so movie that passed the time just fine – All Roads Lead to Rome  – cute and light! 


Saturday we celebrated my friend and business partner Jackie’s birthday!! We took to her favorite restaurant and bar in Boston, Scampo & Alibi both at Liberty Hotel


They just switched over to their Winter menu and I feasted on the large and in charge brown butter crab cake with English mustard & pomelo aioli while Gary had the pasta carbonara – both were insanely good! I always recommend Scampo to people visiting because they are very accommodating with dietary restrictions, not that I have any, but other people in our party did! 


After dinner we made our way to Alibi! The bubbles were flowing & even though the DJ took a little while to get warmed up – I can assure you I danced so much that my feet were paying for it the next day!! 


Speaking of the next day – Sunday I woke up to breakfast in bed! Oh and remember that great DIY I mentioned with the marble tray, well my mom & dad surprised me with an early birthday present and had this bad boy sent to me! 


I spent a good part of Sunday cleaning and getting ready for the week to come!! One thing that did come was my new phone case from CaseApp. I’ve been wanting a new phone case and a marble colored one at that, so when the people from CaseApp reached out to design my custom iPhone case, I couldn’t wait to take them up on it!! I decided to go with their clipart options and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! It’s so easy to use and even easier to design! If you’re in the market for a new iPhone case or custom laptop skin you can get 20% off your order with the code “BOSTONLOVE20”


Monday’s can be hard – so pick the pencilthat makes you feel the most in charge!! Hope you all have a great start to the week and link up below to share your weekend with us!

The photos you took capturing the snow fall are just gorgeous and so relaxing to just look at! That crab cake looks so delicious and it's funny because you and Gary's orders are pretty much what me and my hubby would've ordered πŸ™‚ Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead, beauty!
