Please enjoy this picture of me with the stupidest, happiest, cartoonish smirk as I enjoy @bibbleandsip Black Sesame Almond Crossaint. Already reviewed in an earlier post, this is probably one of my top three favorite pastries of ALL TIME❤️❤️❤️. Here you get a flakey, crunchy and buttery crust with specs of black sesame inside a warm, fluffy and almond center. Hence, my face 😋😋😋. I literally cannot rave anymore about this thing without sounding like a complete lunatic 🙄. Then again may already be there🤯. Oh well!😎 . . . #foodporn #foodie #nyceats #numnum #nyc #midtown #manhattan #HellsKitchen #blacksesame #crossaint #pastry #foodgasm #bibbleandsip

@cultureespresso probably had the best Oatmilk latte I've had in a while . Quality espresso + oatmilk frothed to a creamy, airy perfection that will leave you with the best froth-stache. 😋 Do not forget to enjoy with a warm chocolate chip cookie 🍪. Within the nyc cookie scene, they're extremely underrated. One of the best classic chocolate chip cookies in nyc, in my opinion. They are buttery, crisp, fudgey and not overly sweet. The combo will cost you a whopping ten bucks but for a quick afternoon pick-me-up that will add stars✨ and unicorns 🦄 to your day, you can always spend more a drugs.

Fam, we finally made it to Philly and tried @genossteaks infamous cheesesteak. All I have to say is, hype is real. Juicy, tender sandwich made with no frills and lots of love. The heart of a city in one sandwich. . . . #philly #phillycheesesteak #numnum #foodporn #foodie #southphilly

Fam, I'm not going to lie to you 😑. When I walked in @printrestaurant to grab some drinks and some grub, all I wanted to do was turn around, go home and change. This place was bougie AF. Pressed-collar-with-a-blazer-ride-my-boat-on-Sundays kind of bougie. Surprisingly, when my friends and I asked for a table on a busy and poppin Saturday night, the hostess told us 15 minutes and we were like 😯"WORD? iiiiii" and she escorted us to the bar. While we waited, I ordered a Yuzu cocktail which was pretty exceptional 👌. Not to sweet nor bitter; refreshing and light with a pleasant citrus taste🍋. I knew good things were coming. . We weren't super hungry but we ordered food out of curiosity 🤔. I ordered the Spanish Octopus with fingerling potatoes, taggiasca olives, salsa verde, red sorrel and lemon. The portion wasn't too big but the quality was on point. The Octopus had a perfect char and crisp. The potatoes were nice, tender and complemented so well 😋. My plate was 20 something bucks (I think?) which can be 💰 for some but I had no problem throwing cas💵 for an exceptional meal, while pretending to ride my imaginary boat in the Hamptons🚤☀️ . . . . #foodie #gangsta #nyc #eats #HellsKitchen #seafood #octopus #nyceats #midtown #eeeeeats #foodgasm #print #nycfood #numnum #delicious #bougie #bitch #dontcare

I NEVER post mirror selfies but today is an exception. Real talk fam 🙋‍♀️. I recently joined the #ittybittytittycommitee because somewhere along my fitness journey my biddies gave them selves up as tribute. A good portion of breasts are made of fat tissue so it's no surprise that in a strenuous fitness regimen, they sometimes kinda vanish unless of course, you're naturally endowed. . My biddies went through a lot of phases. They've been big, they been iii. Now they're on vacation ☀️ and it's okay. I'm adjusting to these new biddies. I think as a woman because our bodies are hyper-sexualized there's a sense of losing your femininity when you lose your breasts and It's a totally normal feeling but if you define a woman by the size of her breasts, butt and her reproductive capabilities, well isn't that limiting 🤔? . Don't have anything against augmentation, more power to you if you had one. I applaud everyone's path to self-confidence. It's not for me🙅‍♀️. Of course I've contemplated it (plastic surgery is huge in the Dominican community) but at the end of the day, I know having bigger breasts might make me more attractive (in some standards) but it isn't going to make me love myself. Being attractive to men isn't a priority for me. Loving myself is. . For my current and former peeps in the #ittybittytittycommitee, don't let anyone make you feel less sexy because you're not the right cup size. I don't care what anyone says, there is nothing more sexy than a confident woman owning her shit 💯. #Realtalk . So here's to my biddies, enjoy your vacay in the meantime I can wear cute shit and be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. . . . #ittybittytittycommitee #loveyourself #fitness #love #your #buff #bodypositivity #femininity #smallbreasts #dontcare

😑 Yaooooooooo....little did I know today would be the day I write a review about Poke, semi-buzzed on a sugarless mojito ( Yup. Really good btw). I went to Sons of Thunder recently and was underwhelmed by the food despite the ravings 😞. I was in the mood for some grilled salmon and figured I could give Poke another go, at another spot and found Red Poke on a whim. The spot is super cute and spacious for NYC standards. The ordering process is sort of genius 😶. Lady was like you ready to order? Shaddup. Take this menu, pen, check everything you want and come back. Me:...genius🤯. They have a tasty looking menu with pre-made bowls but my palettes were feeling creative so I 👩‍🎨picassoed my shits and made a custom bowl with grilled salmon, spicy pork, crunchy garlic, fried shallots, cucumber, scallions with spicy kimchi ailoi on the side on top of lemon herb quinoa. Yoooo it was so good 😋. Hit the spot on all levels and was pleasently surprised that for a fast-food joint, didn't taste like it. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. I also ordered one of the beef buns which reminded me SO much of a Whopper Jr (it's literally been a decade since I had one), pero like in a good Korean way 🤔? I don't know, might be just me. . . . #foodie #nyceats #HellsKitchen #poke #nyc #salmon #salmonlover #crispy #garlic #dayum
