Not Just a Makeup-nista but a Travelnista

This past week I was in DC for work before I left the city I decided to spend some time exploring the city. My neighborhood of choice-Georgetown but before G-Town I had to stop at Ben's Chili Bowl. I hopped on the Metro and made my way to chart some new territory. As a way of making it fun, I decided to take pictures of whatever I thought was interesting whether that be things, places, or people. Come along on the journey with me. 

First Stop- U Street for Ben's Chili Bowl 

Headed out on my Journey

Welcome to Georgetown- Quaint Bookstore 

Purchased at Bookstore for Airplane reading- Mindy the BFF in my head

            

Next Stop: Sprinkles Cupcakes

Key Lime & Lemon Blueberry- I still haven't eaten them

                                       

I love Hydrangea- spotted them outside a museum

Selfie outside the museum

Second Cupcake Stop of the Day

Home of DC Cupcakes on TLC 

The line was wrapped around and down the street
Word of the Street: Cupcakes don't taste that good.

The streets were lined with these beautiful flowers

Serendipity 3- Home of Frozen Hot Chocolate

I didn't stop but see you in New York in August

Jarmal, who I met at work, manages the best jewelry store
Alex and Ani, these bracelets will be birthday gifts to myself.
While there they recommended another cupcake shop.

to the next Cupcake shop

3rd Cupcake Stop recommended by Jarmal

I did try this cupcake- It was
DELICIOUS- Chocolate with
Peanut Butter

Do you see the long line of treats?
I think Jarmal was right about this place.

I needed a cute phone case in my life!!!
Hey, there were having a great sale.

Then I was stopped by this lady's
shoes. I just thought her entire outfit was
fabulous and totally me. 

       

As you can see my adventure ended up being a walking tour of cupcakes which was totally unintended but that's what adventures are- unintended, unexpected happenings. The next time you are travelling try making it a game- scavenger hunt, walking tour, etc... to fully enjoy the city.

Makeup: It's Not Just For External Purposes Only

Makeup is great for masking and covering but our internal makeup is what matters most. How you feel about yourself? Do you know the status of your vital signs? Are you comfortable where you are physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually? This is the makeup that matters most. Coming from a place of vulnerability I am sharing with the world my challenges with body image and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Join me on the beginning of my internal makeup journey.
