Packing is probably my least favorite part of the trip! I tend to overpack my wee little carry on to make sure I survive at least a month on my 8 day trip haha that’s why I purchased these packing cubes to consolidate and PACK everything so I can have MORE room to pack MORE stuff ‘cause you never know if you’ll need a purple fur jacket in 90° weather.
.
🌟Link is in bio🌟 for the beige packing cubes.
.
First day of Seattle went a little like this:
.
🛫flight at 6 AM- best time to book with less people! Don’t have Pre-TSA? Don’t worry about it if you leave at this time! We went through TSA in less than 7 minutes!
🛫bought my neck pillow and turned it the other way around so your neck has more support… learned that from tiktok lol
🛫had a delicious breakfast wrap at Harried & Hungry
🛫walked to the base of International Fountain
🛫spent the day at Chihuly Garden and Glass. They had a whole glass blowing demo that was neat to see! Reminded me of my trip to Italy where I sat in a famous glass demo at Muranos!
-TIP: buy the GoCity Pass for Seattle! You’ll save more if you do where you can visit multiple attractions for one decent price.
🛫had lunch at Marination which is a Hawaiian Korean fusion restaurant.
🛫wrapped up the day at the Pike Place Market with a fish throwing demo!
.
What else should I do in Seattle?

Found this Italian lunch and dinner restaurant in Metairie, Louisiana! @rizzutosristorante
.
We went for lunch so the attire was casual! But if you’re going for dinner, it’s definitely formal attire.
.
The ambiance was cool and relaxed!
.
What we ordered:
•Tomahawk Veal Steak: simple with some basic seasoning. Smelled amazing but it had a mild flavor. Firmer than I expected. I wouldn’t order again.
•Brussels Sprouts with Marcona almonds tossed in Steens Sugarcane vinaigrette: I loved how sweet and nutty they were with a crispy outer shell!
•Shoestring Truffle fries: can’t go wrong with truffle fries! The aioli tasted like it had a Dijon mustard base. It packed a punch yet complimented the fries pretty well!
•Bolognese: this tomato-based ragù was fragrant and spicy from peppers. Fresh house-made rigatoni, San Mariano tomatoes, and American wagyu
.
Enjoyed this find!

🌟SAVE FOR DATE NIGHT🌟
.
Found this place through a friend and we surely enjoyed it!
.
Cute and had a relaxed atmosphere! The service was top notch! Our waiter, Joshua, was on point all night! Friendly and attentive!
.
What we ordered:
.
Drinks
* a frozen strawberry lemonade mint cocktail
.
Appetizers
•Brussel Sprouts (sweet and crispy with a touch of tartness tossed in the lemongrass aioli)
•Truffle fries (star of the show! It had a nutty, garlicky and oaky flavor with a savory note. It was my favorite because it was simple yet savory. It was crispy and fun to eat with delicate shredded Parmesan.)
.
Entrée
•Honey Citrus Shrimp Tacos (I ordered the fried shrimp to give it another texture and it was AMAZING! It was topped off with green chili slaw, pickled red onion, sour cream and salsa.)
•Korean beef sandwich upgraded to truffle fries (This dish didn’t wow me but my friend really liked it! It was stuffed with braised beef, topped with caramelized onions, sesame garlic crunch, and cilantro.)
.
Dessert:
•scoop of cookies n creme ice cream
•s’mores parfait? (I couldn’t remember the desert but this was such a rich desert and decadent that I couldn’t even finish it! But, it was delicious!)
.
Overall, this was an 9/10! I would definitely return!

I had such a blast in Houston that I wanted to make sure that I wrote everything down for y’all!
.
The places we went according to the video:
- @handambbq : quite large banchan portions! Meat seasoned well and our waiter was attentive and easygoing!
- @nuiceus : amazing shaved ice!!! We had the mango and durian drizzled in condensed milk with pearls. Extremely refreshing!
- @bingsubellaire : they sold korean corn dogs, Mochi donuts AND Korean shaved ice. You can’t just get one!

Regular shaved ice or Korean shaved ice?!

While we explored the Bishop Arts District in Dallas, we stumbled upon this cute Mexican café! They had unique kinds of chocolate delights like truffles, chocolate gift boxes, special occasion gifts and other dainty items!
.
When I walked through the doors, it felt like I entered a home. The vibe was welcoming, colorful and I loved it! (The aroma of chocolate made it even better!)
.
I also learned about horchatas!
.
What is a horchata? 🥛
It’s a traditional Mexican drink that’s made up of rice water, cinnamon and a dash of sugar.
.
I was a little iffy about trying it when I heard it was rice water 🤣 but I had an open mind and tried it. Glad I did!
.
That first sip was not overly sweet and the spicy cinnamon with a faint rice undertone was surprisingly pleasant. Overall, I enjoyed the drink! It was refreshing on a hot spring day! 🌸
.
They also offered house special horchatas which I thought was intriguing! I WANTED TO TRY THEM ALL!
.
.
.
Tag your second and they owe you a horchata 😜

SAVE THIS FOR YOUR NEXT HIKE!
.
.
.
Found this gem north of Louisiana
.
.
.
📍Kisatchie National Park
.
.
.
If you like to explore and hike, then Kisatchie National Park is for you! They have a mini waterfall and the water is clear! Steep elevation will get you so make sure you practice those breathing exercises. Granted, it’s not as steep as Mount Fuji but this trail can still tire you out.
.
.
.
What you’ll need for this hike:
🎒 hiking boots 🥾 anything that has grip bc you’re going to climb.
🎒 dress moderately warm- since you’ll be up north of Louisiana and up in elevation, it gets a little chilly.
🎒 bring a change of clothes👚👕👖
🎒 a snack/water 🥪🥤
🎒 biodegradable wet wipes if you have to use the bathroom/clean your hands 🧻
🎒 first aid kit-just in case ⛑
🎒 a bag that you can use for your dirty shoes/clothes 👜

📍New Orleans Food and Spirits in Bucktown Metairie, Louisiana

.
.
I originally wanted the crab cakes but, unfortunately, they weren’t serving them until further notice. 💔💔💔
I was upset lol BUT our amazing waitress (I forgot your name 😭) recommended other house specials.
.
.
.
What we ordered and recommend:
🍽 Cup of Crawfish Corn Soup (creamy and delicious!)
🍽 Grilled Stuff Catfish with the Pontchartrain Pasta (everything was seasoned so well with the grilled fish that was flakey!)
🍽 Panned Chicken (crispy chicken breast topped on a bed of angel hair pasta topped with Alfredo AND marinara!!) BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!
.

Stuffed grilled catfish or stuffed fried catfish???

This place had soufflé pancakes and Durian flavored desserts!
.
.
.
If you don’t know already, Durian has an incredibly pungent odor but has a sweet, creamy and savory flavor. It was reigned “King of Fruits” due to its distinct smell.
.
.
.
I grew up eating durian so it doesn’t bother me like first timers. (Tip) if you want to enjoy your first durian bite, eat it with a pudding or have a smoothie mixed with durian. It’ll help with the exposure lol
.
.
.
What we ordered:
Durian pudding
Durian smoothie
Matcha pancakes soufflé
Strawberry pancake soufflé
Tofu pudding tray
Butterfly Effect tea
Strawberry lemonade tea
Rose water lemonade tea
.
.
.
Everything was refreshing and delicious especially the durian pudding. The smooth creme with a hint of vanilla and a dollop of the durian paste was a pleasant balance!
.
.
.
Have you ever tried durian?

They say everything‘s BIGGER in TEXAS! They were

They say everything‘s BIGGER in TEXAS! They weren’t lying when we went to Terry Blacks Barbecue! Restaurant highlight of the week: 📍Terry black barbecue on Barton Spring Rd in Dallas in the Deep Ellum neighborhood. We went during peak dinner time so we stood in line for about 30 minutes but, it went by fast because I was distracted by the little barbecue themed Knick knacks. What we ordered:
•3 pounds of brisket-
(oh my gosh. Delicious)
•4 pounds of beef ribs- (I sold my soul that day.)
•Small green beans- (fresh. Crunchy. Garlicky. Loved it!)
•Small Mac and cheese- (extremely thick and rich)
•Small beans- (I personally don’t really like beans, but it had a smokey sweet taste to them with a light crunch.) This was heaven! The brisket was flakey, fatty and had a robust flavor. I just couldn’t stop eating! This 4 pounder beef ribs had a smokey flavor and just fell off the bone. AH-MAZING! Because it was a Texas Style bbq, they used post oak to smoke their meats for 16+ hours in the pits according to Mike Black to achieve that type of luscious, chewy and moist texture. Fun fact:
Post oak is in the white oak species which is commonly used for fence posts! It is considered as a hardwood thus is used for smoking meat due to its slow burning characteristics.
.
What kind of bbq do you like?
