This past week I went to an event at the restaurant, The Little Lion (Here). Just so you’re all prepared now, I LOVE food! I’m that person that if you follow me I tag myself at places like Walmart and Taco Bell at two in the morning. Trashy I know, haha. Last week I went to an event called ONO (Our Night Out) which is a monthly LGBT event 
that happens in Philadelphia. It allows the LGBT community to come out (no pun intended) and socialize, drink, and experience a new venue in the city. This week we went to The Little Lion restaurant on Chestnut Street. And I have to tell you, it was fabulous.
I’m not much of a drinker, but the bar at The Little Lion had a spectacular selection. I spent the night drinking multiple raspberry sangria’s which were absolutely delicious. I’m not even a fan of wine, which is a main ingredient, and loved them. The bartenders were extremely nice as well, which from someone who works in the service industry, I’m always on the lookout for. However, it was really the food that caught my attention. From what I’ve heard/read the restaurant is southern inspired, and the food reflects a southern/fusion kind of cuisine. Let me tell you, executive Chef Sean Ciccarone does not disappoint!
We only had a
few appetizers; a pimento cheese crustini, celery soup shooters, and barbecue chicken sliders with pickles and Cole slaw. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I spent the night sipping my sangria and trying to fill up on appetizers. Several friends and I have already made plans to go back for an actual sit down dinner. The restaurant is just another part of the evolution that Philadelphia’s Old City has been going through, and from what I can tell you, it’s certainly a welcome addition. I cannot wait to return and start tasting my way through the normal menu!

avel, and I don’t get to do it as often as I’d like; perils of being a broke college kid and all. However, whenever I do travel, especially to NYC, I ALWAYS use the Booking.com app. It’s extremely user friendly. With a great and simple search bar, multiple menus, the ability to change both language and currency, and much more. The app, like it’s site, has a very succinct filters bar and Booking.com always shows you the best deal all over the area that you’re looking. Whenever I’m traveling to NYC for fashion week or just to see friends I always use the app to find the best deal right away. Funny story, when I was in NYC for fashion week last month, I found out on the ride up that staying with a friend for my first night had fallen through. I pulled the app right up on my phone and found a really great/affordable hotel that I booked right then; only two hours from arrival time, in the middle of the night, with no credit card information necessary! Plus, when you’re looking at the hotels the app shows you a bunch of high definition photos that are very simple to scroll through. As far as I’m concerned, everything about this app is user friendly. My favorite kind!
downloaded this app by accident one day when I was looking for something to help with all the acne that was showing in one of my photos. Turns out, it was one of the best mistakes I’ve ever made. I only have the free version of the app, so there are a few ads that will pop up while you’re using it, but I don’t tend to mind them. Once you choose a photo, either from your gallery, or because you decide to take one with camera right then and there, you have multiple options. You can do a full auto retouch to the picture, or you can narrow down what you want to focus on. Choices include skin, makeup, eye bags, teeth whitening, and blemishes. The app even goes so far as to correct your nose, face slimming, eyes, and smile! Now I’m not THAT into retouching my photos, I don’t really believe in that much editing, but I suppose it’s there if you want it. I’ve corrected plenty of photos I originally thought to trash because of this app. Especially if the lighting wasn’t very nice to my skin.
is recommendation sounds crazy, if not stupid, but I’m really serious about it. I might sound blasphemous as a blogger, and a millenial, but I really hate having to keep track of 100 different social media sites. Between Facebook, Twitter,
