#4: Ode To Food


805.
VSCO has become a very good app that I love using. Not only for the editing pictures and the detail that you can show in photos, but to showcase the food and beer addiction that I have. I browse through VSCO and I realize that there is so much that you can show someone, how you see the world by capturing it.

The reason for this post isn't to praise VSCO but to share my absolute love for food! Last night I went on a food crawl with my girlfriend. It wasn't too much of a food crawl since we didn't hit all 4 targets that we had planned, but we did end up going to 2 spots. With moving to Downtown Long Beach you get to experience all the food that they offer, especially it being walking distance. One of the locations we have never tried but have been dying to. Pier 76 is what I'd like to call a creative take on seafood but not on the high end of restaurants that have seafood. Then we ended up going over to Bo-Beau to have the tapas on the rooftop since last weekend we enjoyed the dining for my birthday downstairs. Bo-Beau has a wide variety of not only vodka but beers and man oh man, I LOVE BEER! The only reason we didn't crawl to the other two places we had in mind was because we were not only full, but got the taste of some heavenly beers.

Pier 76's Lobster Roll.
Broccoli Cole Slaw from Pier 76.
Bo-Beau Roof "Tap" Menu with beers.
Bo-Beau's Mussels.
Doesn't it all look just so appeasing? No thanks to VSCO of course.

If you want to see my food journey along with my partner in crime Jes' please take your way over to SmallChicksBigEats.Com #SCBE. There you can find not only the food that we cook but places that we have gone to eat. Most of the recent updates are dishes that we have made, but soon enough everyone will be able to follow our foodie dates.

¡Buen Provecho!

#1: The Re-Re-Restart

Time and time again I disappear from my personal blog and forget to update. I've continued to ask myself, how can I get back at this? What would interest readers? Why do I care if people read? lol. Honestly, I just want it to be appealing not only for others, but for myself when I look back at all of this down the line. So here I am, typing what comes to mind.

I've decided that I should no longer over think what I should type about. I should create something that I would just write down in my journal. Yes, random posts on my Tumblr help, but they aren't all directly from me. This .com has been around for too many years to just let it go. Moving it from place to place and it needs a home that I want to make beautiful and creative.

Have you ever thought to yourself, my children might one day want to see what mommy has done? Aside from wanting to know your own personal growth, but hoping that one day people who were once in your life would stumble across your .com just to see what you've been up to in life? Sounds odd, but it happens. It has happened and it does continue to happen. It's not that I want people in my business, but more so I want people to be aware, I am alive and well and living life according to how I want. Yes, there are bumps in the road. Yes, I am still learning something new every single day. Yes, it's never as easy as it may seem in a blog post. BUT, it's a nice way to document everything just in case.

So many thoughts, ideas, drawings, visuals....they'll be here some how. Between Twitter, Instagram, VSCO and Tumblr sharing parts of me, I want to sum it all up here. I'll call this the "re-re-restart" to Ahlexandria.Com.


There's more to come within the next week. The story of the journey that got me across country and the little bits and pieces of me to share in photos, words and randomness.
