Sunday Snapshot- April 5

Posted on April 5th, 2015

Snippets from the early days of spring:

When Ian was here last weekend, we were feeling adventurous, which for us just means we actually left the one-mile radius around my apartment.  We visited Tompkins Square Bagels in the East Village– amazing!  The bagels are not toasted because they’re made so frequently that they are still fresh and warm when you order.  They have a range of bagel sandwiches and tons of cream cheese options.  I succumbed to my most juvenile taste buds and ordered a french toast bagel with sprinkle birthday cake cream cheese.  I happily rode that sugar high all morning.

Warmer weather means walking home, which is something I really love to do after sitting at a desk all day.  I walk all the way up Fifth Avenue, including by the Met on the Museum Mile.

Let’s just get right to it with the embarrassing confessions: Shake Shack custard is my jam, and the release of the monthly custard calendar is something I look forward to.  (It’s the little things, y’all)  I’m in for some extra temptation this month– all of these flavors look incredible.

Normally I paint my own nails badly, but on Monday I treated myself to a little professional pampering.  Essie Van D’Go has been putting a smile on my face all week.

And some Sunday inspiration:
