Hello! Happy day one of The Birthday Chronicles! 

Today I celebrated myself in a way all good things should be celebrated, with food! I'm sure when you read yesterdays post about what I plan to do with these chronicles and saw avocado toast you probably thought Collins Quarter, but NO! Although it is delicious, and to be had later this week... the real champion avo toast comes from The tiny, AC-less, flavor filled Diplomat. 

The Diplomat opened this past fall right before we all came back for school. Perfect timing! They are still relatively new, and to my knowledge still getting it's name out there. So for all you Savannah dwellers, if you're looking to eat the best avocado toast you'll ever have in your life, head here. I think what makes it stand out are the pumpkin seeds and dill sprinkled on top. The flavors are unreal, and so is the bread! Guy Fieri would be impressed, one bite of this bad boy and you're sent straight to flavor town...

Also, today I wore this cute denim get up and was feelin' myself in my new Oui Fresh sunnies!! Life is always better when I'm wearing a cute outfit :)

What is your favorite food? xo, O

SAVANNAH SPOTLIGHT: HENNY PENNY

SAVANNAH SPOTLIGHT: HENNY PENNY

Thursday, April 20, 2017

Hello hello everybody! I'm so so excited to share this Savannah Spotlight with you all! Just the other day Cher and I were on an Art History field trip and we walked passed this ADORABLE new coffee shop that actually JUST opened about two weeks ago. If you're from the area or have ever been to Savannah I'm sure you've heard of either Foxy Loxy or Coffee Fox, well they are the owned by the same people, and Henny Penny is their newest addition! So OBVIOUSLY it's delicious! I'll be honest with you here, I think I like Henny Penny the best. I'm not one for the typical cozy dark coffee shop brewski kinda place, so when I saw Henny Penny, having everything Foxy does and more AND being bright and colorful, I was ALL over it! After Cher and I tried it out, we knew we had to show the other gals, so after class today Alli, Cher, Rachel and I all walked to Henny Penny and spent a few hours there! It was fabulous :)

I got the vegan cinnamon roll and a homemade lemonade (not pictured), but the cinnabun was SO delicious! Henny Penny has so many vegan options too, I wanted to try them all, but that just means I have to go back right? All their food is made in house too, which makes it smell divine at all times, and if that's not the best thing ever, I don't know what is...

Not only is Henny Penny an adorable coffee shop, BUT it is 110% kid friendly! In the back they have crafts and little tables for little ones! When we first arrived there were a bunch of cute little kids coloring and having a good time, obviously I didn't take photos of that though, just cause, parents and what not, but like still... it was pretty cute.

And not only not ONLY is Henny Penny a coffee shop meets little kid palace, it's also a little art store! So they sell things made by local artists and crafters! I wish I had more money with me today, I soooo wanted to buy some of the greeting cards, they were all so fun!

Overall, I give Henny Penny a 10/10, I can't wait to go back and actually bring enough money to buy some more gifts and goodies :)

Henny Penny is located on 1514 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401
open 6 days a week 6:30am-6pm, closed on Sunday

I hope you all check it out for yourselves and love it as much as I do :) let me know if you do go! I'd love to hear what you think! Until next time, xo, O

SAVANNAH SPOTLIGHT: Café M

SAVANNAH SPOTLIGHT: Café M

Good morning loves, and happy Monday! This past weekend was one of my favorites, full of nonstop fun and activity. Bri, Cher, Alli and I all went to Café M on Saturday, and oh man do I wish I had one of those croissants to get me through this morning, but alas, Special K will have to do. Anywhooo... Café M is a little Parisian café on Bay St, overlooking river street on the upper level. We were all chatting how we would love having a kitchen that looked like Café M, all of the colors were so perfect, light mint green, pinks, yellows, what could be better?! I got the nutella and banana croissant sandwich. I HIGHLY recommend it, it was warm and oh so ooey gooey, full of chocolatey goodness, again, what could be better?!?! Hardly anything quite frankly... I didn't get the chance to try the macaroons, but seriously, so so cute. Not only do they make amazing croissants and macaroons, but they freshly bake baguettes and loafs of bread you can buy in house, basically the place smells like heaven. I really want to try one of their actual sandwiches, I will be going back for sure! Ugh... I can smell the bread now... if only the weekend were sooner... What's your favorite pastry?? xo, O

Café M is open from 8am-4pm everyday and is located at 128 E Bay St, Savannah, GA 31401

Savannah Spotlight: Forsyth Park

Savannah Spotlight: Forsyth Park

Wednesday, January 25, 2017

No comments

Good Morning loves :) Today for the Savannah Spotlight feature I'm "spotlighting" Forsyth Park! A few weekends ago my friends and I went to Forsyth for a picnic and everything was SO beautiful! If you remember my farmers market post, that happens in Forsyth every Saturday. Forsyth is a mile around, slip in half with a full field for what ever hula hooping, pickup soccer playing, sunbathing, or guitar picking you desire and the other half more of your classic Savannah Square layout, overhanging trees, many paths, patches of grass with people reading or doing yoga in, benches, and all that jazz.

Forsyth is probably most known for its beautiful fountain right in the center. The one downside to it is that my dorms aren't the closest, and I don't really get out there as much as I wish I could. It's around a thirty minute walk, which totally isn't that bad, but I'm a busy bee and I have to be really free to make it out there. Although I don't recommend going at night, during the day it's constantly bustling with activity. If you visit Savannah, be sure to check out Forsyth, at least to walk though it is so so beautiful. There are also tons of cafés, boutiques and other stores lining it, so it's not just in the middle of nowhere. But like I said, just check it out during the day, and probably not at night, many things in Savannah get quite a bit "sketchier" at night, just being honest with y'all. BUT! It is seriously so so beautiful and I highly recommend checking it out when you visit :) Enjoy! xo

Savannah Spotlight: Below Zero Rolled Ice Cream

Savannah Spotlight: Below Zero Rolled Ice Cream

Saturday, January 14, 2017

Ever heard of rolled ice cream? You know, the super cool Thai inspired ice cream that is insanely fun and always so delicious? Yeah? yeah. Well we are so so lucky and have one of the few rolled ice cream spots right here in Savannah on Broughton Street!! This is not the first time I've been to Below Zero, it's actually probably my favorite spot in all of Savannah to get ice cream! So naturally, a Savannah Spotlight was highly necessary for this place :) Something sort of funny about this place is that it's connected to a seafood restaurant!? Yeah, I know so strange. So the ice cream magic is in the front and while you are waiting in line to get what you really came for (ice cream) you are standing next to the ordering counter for the seafood restaurant! I'm not really sure how they've worked it out, but it seems to be working for them. I'm pretty sure they are two separate entities but just share the same front door and space, I really have no clue.

Today I went with Lauren! Unfortunately every single table was full, I don't know if they were eating seafood or ice cream or what, but it was pretty packed. But of course it being a beautiful day, we just walked to a nearby square, I believe it was Reynolds Square if you are familiar with Historic Savannah. It was so beautiful! What's better than DELICIOUS ice cream, great friends and BEAUTIFUL scenery?! Not much if I'm honest... Oh and as for the price: for one cup, there aren't different sizes, it comes with I believe 6 rolls, whatever toppings come with your flavor, so for me I got smores so that comes with a gram cracker and a marshmallow, and three additional toppings all for $6. It's hard to finish one whole bowl, honestly we went at 1pm, it's 12:25 am right now and I'm STILL feeling full. Six doll hairs sounds sort of steep for ice cream but it's WORTH IT. Honestly beyond worth it. Everything about Below Zero is amazing. Basically if you come to Savannah, it's a must have :) If you ever do go, let me know what you think!

Below Zero is located on 116 E. Broughton St, Savannah, GA 31401
Open Monday-Thursday 11am-9pm
Friday-Saturday 11am-10pm
Sundays 12pm-9pm

and a little reminder ^ :)
hope your weekend is fabulous! xo
