Hotel Henry in Buffalo, New York.

Hey guys! I am sure the ones from Buffalo have heard of Hotel Henry but those who aren't from our beautiful city, it is a very cool building/restaurant that was built in the 1800s. Back in the day, it was used as a hospital for mental illness. I recently went to brunch at their restaurant, 100 Acres: The Kitchens at Hotel Henry and oh my gosh it was amazing. The atmosphere reminded me of New York City. I ordered a mimosa which came with a couple raspberries and blueberries for presentation. For my meal, I got 2 fried eggs, maple bacon, thick sourdough bread toast, and potatoes served with greens. Everything was so good and reasonably priced. They also try to use local products as well. After brunch we took a little walk around the building. It was stunning. They have a few floors that you are able to explore. Each hallway is decorated with different pieces of art. It was beautiful. So bottom line if you are in Buffalo and are looking for a fabulous place to go to brunch, have a drink, or just wanna check the building out, I highly recommend it.

Latest Obsessions.

Latest obsessions. This mascara is actually liquid eyelash extensions and it makes your lashes look AMAZING! At @thrivecausemetics, they believe in cruelty free products, which everyone who knows me knows I try to buy vegan products as much as possible. Now the deodorant is from the brand @native which they now sell some of their products @target. This specific one I have been using is the rosè one but they do have other amazing scents as well. Native also sells toothpaste, soap, and other products on their website. I love this brand, it’s made in the USA, uses safe ingredients, and free of animal testing.
