On our way to New Orleans, we decided to spend a day in Atlanta. What’s the vegan scene like in Atlanta? It’s definitely strong. So, strong in fact that we didn’t get to hit half the places we were recommended. So please expect a Vegan in ATL again when the time comes. We visited some pretty cool places though. I hope you like my reviews and pics and please don’t hesitate to leave a comment should you feel the urge! Many Blessings, Peace, & Love.

This past Valentine’s Day, I gained experience hosting my very first event for Green Being Creations. I was so nervous. But let’s back up so I can tell you exactly what My Vegan Valentine was all about. It was a 5-course plated dinner with vegan wine pairing. I created the menu based on seasonal items and a bit of a twist on some of my favorite southern cuisine.

Does being married change things? Nope. Everything at home is pretty much the same. We normally have a good balance on personal time and our time together. That’s one of the reasons our relationship works so well. One thing that has changed is my craving for entertaining! I’ve been in love with having company lately.

So many things can happen when planning a wedding. In my case, most of those things are costly and exhausting. Often times as brides, we begin the wedding planning process prematurely which hardly gives us any time to think about what we actually want to do. We look through these lavish bridal books pointing out the things we want without taking the cost into consideration. This post is a cautionary tale to all my newly engaged ladies out there. I'm going to share a few of my tips in hopes that you take the easier route. 

Independence park is a huge park that has a smaller area within it called the Rose Garden. That is where we had our ceremony. The Rose Garden is absolutely beautiful and I fell in love with the space as soon as I saw it. It was also only $52 bucks an hour to rent which helped us to make the decision quite quickly. I also loved the various ways of entry.

Where do I begin? Well, were not in Cali anymore. We've officially ventured back to the east coast. Now, how has that been? Bittersweet. I'm super excited to be home and surrounded by my family and friends but on the other hand, I'm super overwhelmed being surrounded by my family and friends. I hope that makes sense. Mostly because I feel like we're definitely behind on the eight ball. Moving back home literally drained us.

Ok, so... its no surprise that I'm planning a wedding. The real surprise is that I'm gonna help you plan yours. Every bride deserves to have a stress free venue selection. I've put together 21 questions that'll help you select a venue that fits your budget best. I've even given my you guys an open book review on the Venue Joe and I decided to go with for our wedding. Not only that, I've answered all 21 questions for our venue. Our wedding will be held at Harvey B. Gantt Center so if your getting married there, your welcome. :) JK. But Seriously, I hope these questions are helpful to you ladies or gents. Happy Planning!!

So now that ya'll know what I'm bringing, I'm gonna tell ya'll what I hope other people are gonna bring LOL. Yes, I'm that person that plans my plate out ahead of time. I wanna see some candied yams, collards and kales, dinner rolls, lentil loaf, and mushroom steaks. YESSS and for dessert, I wanna see some cookies, apple pie -which I may make- ,  and sweet potato pie! Oh! add salads too like pasta, or greens.
