Thank you for all the entries.

I didn’t get any.

The lucky winner is Lupe Fiasco – I’ve been sending this man items that remind me of his songs. 🙂 I will include this in his latest package.

Thank you. Sorry I haven’t been updating. I’ve been really busy. I do plan to have some posts on hair soon and I’ll probably share some updates on my threads, I just posted something we made up today – I called it a Kimchi Scramble.

Pro tip, unless you like warm Kimchi, add it at the end. On top with the goat cheese. Yes!

Btw, Lifeline brought Flow back. 🙁 I love this little beautiful kitty but I don’t think that my cats can tolerate another one indoors, I’m trying to get my sister to adopt Flow and King Louis Vuitton. I need to try to get King Louis to Lifeline for a neuter. It has been hard to do without a car. The older cat that keeps dropping by chases him away but I love his tenacity – I’m clearly someone he loves and trusts.

Pharrell x Clipse – Let God Sort Em Out

Apple Music, ATL, Atlanta, NELLIEL Approved, Pharrell Williams

I’m really into music and art. I lovvveee hearing from the artists about how they crafted their work and the kinds of things they haven taken into consideration as they have created a project.

Take some time to listen to Pharrell (music producer extraordinaire) and his artists, the Clipse. they are discussing their new work, Let God Sort Em Out. I feel like this rap style is more along the lines of gangsta rap, which isn’t really my favorite, but I do still think that the music is interesting and good. What do you think.

Btw, why does Pharrell’s skin always look so soft? I tried his skincare brand and my skin looked nothing like that. ? IRL filter.

Ghibli Mon

ATL, Atlanta, Entertainment, NELLIEL Approved

I haven’t been able to post about Ghibli Fest as of yet, I’m not sure that I’m a real fan of this particular studios work, however, I did recently see something really cool on TikTok. A Ghibli mashup art style with Pokemon. What a cool idea – I’m really into animation styles, so this got my attention. I’m unable to share the videos (can’t embed TikTok) but I think that their page is worth a follow. See below imagery, all rights/credits to ghiblimon.studio on TikTok.

Btw, it is national video game day. What are you playing? Me? Pokemon of course. Legends Arceus to be more exact.

Dollar Tree

ATL, Atlanta, Beauty, Cosmetics, Uncategorized

I really, really love Dollar tree. Here are some truly great dollar tree finds that I was able to score/note on my visit today. Make sure to patron them so that we can continue to enjoy these types of stores.

I truly love them for snacks – now they have the speed stick leave in and the speed stick deodorant. ? they smell so much like sol de janiero.

Update

The lady speed stick does smell nice but I do not believe that it is a real replacement for the sol de janiero. My fave sol de janiero scents are the 40 and 59. The speed sticks are very nice – not to mention you can get 10 of the speed sticks from dollar tree compared to one stick of deodorant from Sephora for 15.00 dollars.

Jeni’s Ice Cream – Westside Provisions District

ATL, Atlanta, Dining Out, Ice Cream, NELLIEL Approved

It was so rainy this weekend. Atlanta’s rain has ruined many plans, but instead of moping about it, I decided to treat myself to some ice cream. I love the Westside Provisions district, PayaThai and Jeni’s are both located here. There is a cute walking area, plenty of tasty restaurants, and the loveliness of Midtown all around. Atlantic Station is right down the street – oh, and so is Ikea.

One of my favorite flavors is the Lemon Blueberry Parfait, but as I couldn’t find it at the Jeni’s location, so I chose to try some of the other flavors. Here is a closeup of the deliciousness, found on the Jeni’s website.

They recently got the Wildberry Lavendar in store. Mmm. Delicious. Here are a few others worth trying.

Btw, my favorite flavor is still sold at the Publix in Atlantic Station, just in case you’re curious about it. The blueberries mixed with the lemon and the buttermilk all come together in a way that is sooo, sooo good. Most of Jeni’s work included a buttermilk base but it seems as though things are changing. When I first tried the icecream years ago, I thought it a bit strange, but it truly comes together in such a lovely way. Just so you know, I am usually a Mayfield kind of gal, – I really think that Moose tracks is hard to beat, not only that, fruit in ice cream? Eh?

The Lemon Blueberry Parfait is NELLIEL APPROVED. But I also approve of Jeni’s.

Just so you know, 3rd runner up is SNICKERS. Yum.

Renovation Dreams

ATL, Atlanta, Enhancements, Renovation

I am so excited about my continuing renovation. I recently purchased an AKDY tub from Home Depot and I keep imaging what that new tub will look like in my home. I also need to get the updates completed on my kitchen – I’m anticipating a new, large window for the kitchen and I want to update my counters. I’ve been taking my time with looking at items but I still have not found stone counters that I have fallen in love with. I don’t want to do bright white but I might go with that – I have a lovely farmhouse sink to compliment the space. The reflective lighting will be so beautiful.

here is a list of things I’m doing this year:

  • Sourcing countertops
  • purchasing new windows
  • getting pismo door knobs
  • add more solar lighting to trees outside of home
  • replace my dewalt lawn mower with a robo lawn mower
  • knock down some walls in the laundry room and guest bathroom
  • install privacy fence
  • install parking patio

There is still so much to do but I love the house God gave me 🙂 I think the roses and the natural privacy hedge have turned into my favorites thus far. I have recently requested to join the Amazon Affiliate Program and Home Depot Affiliates. I’ll try to link to the items when I can. 🙂
