The Bliss Project

In the last year, under the regime of "The Orange One" or, as I usually refer to him, the "Cheeto in Chief", it is my belief that most well meaning, and consciously aware Americans have been experiencing some sort of chaos or depression.  It's hard to know what's to come of our country when there is a monkey running amuck in the White House, right?  Well, after chatting with friends and seeing how this was actually creating a new sense of urgency in people to "live for today" and "make this life count", I decided that I wanted to collect stories, so speak.  To talk to folks about what they do to keep a smile on their face, or, ya know, stay hopeful, see the light. What feeds their soul???

Fry and Pie ~ New Orleans

Perfect little late night treat place!

After a night of eating, drinking and art shows, my boyfriend and I did a late night stroll through the neighborhood we were staying in. Our host had mentioned this place, and we decided we needed a late night treat~ We had something savory and something sweet and both were fabulous!

Cake Cafe, New Orleans

 

This has seriously become our favorite place for breakfast when visiting New Orleans! We have never had a bad experience there. They always seem to be busy, but the service is always quick and friendly. The baked goods are out of this world and everything we have tried off the menu is simply to die for. During Mardi Gras, be sure and have a slice of king cake!

 

Adding to this from my Trip Advisor review, i'll be back in New Orleans on Mardi Gras and will be for sure stop by for breakfast AND King Cake!!! CAN NOT WAIT!!!

 

 

Il Vicino Nob Hill

 

 

I’ve been going here since the very beginning! Not even the construction Central can keep me away. One of my favorite Ceasar salads comes from Il Vicino, and the Pizza is absolutely delectable!

Barelas Coffee House

 

If you are looking for a truly authentic New Mexican dining experience, THIS is the place! Nestled down in the Barelas neighborhood, it is frequented by mostly locals who know where to get "the good stuff". The chili, the tortillas, the.... EVERYTHING! THANK YOU!

Poki Poki Cevicheria

 

I kept hearing about this place and was just not quite sure what it was. Well, I finally tried it, and have been back about once a week! WOW! It's seriously amazing! So glad to have a place like this in my neighborhood!

Where the Butterfly wanders.... Yes, Organic Boutique

I know it's been a while, but.... I'm baaaaaAAAaaack!

 There is just SO much to write and muse about these days, I am committed to sharing and caring and allowing this part of me, the "would be journalist" to flourish and become a part of my creative outlet.

Something I have decided to do, is to live feed tours through some of my favorite locally owned businesses.

The first stop on my Butterfly crawl was Yes, Organic Boutique on Lomas. 

Take a look!
