Wednesday Wisdom – Time is a precious thing…

Wednesday Wisdom

In memory of Gene Wilder, I’ve chosen a quote by him this week. Time is a precious thing. Never waste it. -Gene Wilder Nothing is more true! I feel like the older we get, the faster time flies. This mere feeling freaks me out at times and I find myself wondering if I’m taking full advantage of the time that I have. In fact that is one of the reasons why I started this blog. I wasn’t hearing back from the kinds of jobs I wanted, so I decided I’d start this in the meantime and see where it can take me instead of waiting around. Now it’s going to be almost a year and I feel like I’ve come pretty far! It’s become a portfolio and has opened up more opportunities for me. Besides just that, it’s given me another reason to go out and explore more than I already did. That isn’t…

New York City in 2 days! – Part 1

Tay Explores

*This post contains affiliate links. Clicking on them will not cost you anything* As summer is coming to an end, I believe it’s time to share all that I’ve been up to these past few weeks! It all started when a friend of mine from the UK called me up and asked if I’d be free to show her around while she was visiting here for a wedding that we both were going to attend. And so since I am always ready for adventures, I said yes! The big thing on her list of places to see was New York City which ended up working out nicely because it was a 3 hour drive to NYC from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where we both would be. Between the wedding festivities and sight seeing, we only had two days for NYC, so I knew it would be hard to fit everything in. But somehow, we…

Dearborn, Michigan

Eating Out

Our final stop on this reunion weekend was Dearborn. My friend had been talking about an amazing place to get kababs from and it only seem fit that we go! So this place is located in a butcher shop. It’s called Dearborn Meat Market. Basically, they sell meat in the front and then in the back there is a small room in which they BBQ kababs! So you know you’re getting fresh ingredients! Being amateurs, we ordered like 2 or 3 orders. But apparently that’s not enough, even for three people. I don’t remember how many orders we got, but here is a picture of all the kababs! And of course, there is also hummus and tabouleh! Yea…it was pretty great. And even though we left feeling satisfied, we couldn’t leave Michigan without having custard because apparently it’s a thing there. And so, we went to The Custard Hut. Okay,…

Detroit, Michigan

Tay Eats

Continuing with my incredible friend’s reunion weekend, our next trip was into Detroit! As you will continue to scroll down, you will see that we started off our Detroit tour by eating. Well, we walked around first to work up an appetite. We started at Eastern Market which is a huge place full of food, restaurants, art and culture. There are so may different areas here. And since it was spring time, there were flowers everywhere. We were also on a mission to find a jasmine plant for my friend who had been trying to find it for ages. She settled on an herb plant instead (because jasmine was no where to be found, even in all the flowers!) After walking around for a bit we ran into some food trucks. So, of course we had to stop! We split into two lines. Two of us went into the beignet line and…

Snapchat Stories Series – NYC Day 1

Tay Explores

Hello everyone! I have been a little MIA but that’s because I have been super busy. There have been weddings and other religious events that I’ve been a part of so I haven’t had much time to plan my blog posts. However, I have not stopped exploring. I took a friend around NYC and DC just this last week and I saved my personal snap stories from those days. I decided to upload the videos of those stories in hopes that some of you may enjoy them. I will have actual detailed blog posts of those days coming up in the near future! Some of the places you saw in the video: Brooklyn Bridge Halaal Hot Dog 9/11 Memorial Wall Street Trinity Church Chelsea Market Sephora Empire State Building Time Square
