Hope everyone has started to enjoy the cooler temps! I know I love when it is 75 and sunny the most, so I'm soaking it all in! It's been a while, so I figured it was time for an update for some new fun places I've tried!
1. Flywheel Raleigh
I started working out with my friend (and now Beachbody Coach) before we moved to PA, so when we moved back I had been itching to work out with her again! We decided to go to a Flywheel class, and I was not disappointed! Everything was very clean and streamlined, they had lockers to put your stuff in and you were helped to your seat and set up if needed! Your first class is free, so try it!
2. The Blistered Pig SmokehouseMy friend Nichole and I ventured downtown for a handlettering class from All She Wrote Notes and noticed that this place was right beside where we were taking the class at Moon & Lola. We stopped in and had a delicious dinner! The barbecue was on point and I will definitely be back here the next time we venture to downtown Apex!
3. Lomo Market
My Mom was in search of gluten free bread during one of her visits to Raleigh and the only place I could really find that sold loaves of it was at the Lomo Market! It is such a cool idea. They have a mobile local food truck of sorts! It is stocked with produce, specialty breads, pasta, milk, all the essentials! They travel around to five different places around the Triangle everyday, so they should be convenient to you or you can reserve different products to pick up on any day of the week!
4. Lake Lynn Trail
This is my new favorite walking trail! I got a big group together to go walking on a long weekend and this was the perfect place! Matlock got to swim a little and it is a 2 mile loop, which to me is a great distance. There are beautiful views from all around the lake and it is dog friendly! I'm actually headed here again today!
After our walk around the lake we decided we earned some beers and headed over to Raleigh Brewing. I enjoyed a flight and actually really liked all of the ones I tried. They had a good area outside to have all the dogs chill while we had a beer. Very dog friendly bar!
I finally got to be a part of this run this year and I was so glad I went. It poured the morning of the run, but that didn't stop hundreds of people from participating. Please sign up with me next year!
7. #YSLBlackOpium
I received a new fragrance in the mail from Influenster to try! In my opinion it is the perfect fall scent with notes of coffee and vanilla! I can't wait to wear it to Noel's birthday dinner to switch it up a little from my usual Marc Jabob's Daisy scent! Have any of you tried it?
8. Harvest 18
My friend Lauren was in town from NYC so that gave me an excuse to try all the restaurants I've been meaning to go to! This one has been on the list and I have to tell you that I was blown away with the food and service! We sat in a huge comfy booth and the server and manager were incredibly attentive! I got the short rib lettuce wraps and a salad and the wraps were the best meal I've had all year! Definitely a five star meal all around our table! We'll be back!
9. Perkins Orchard
This place is a hidden gem! While my friends were in town, I was feeling fall and had them go here with me even though it started raining. The owner was charming and very helpful! They have $5 bags of apples and so much produce for lower prices than you will find at the grocery store! I picked up a pumpkin while I was there and can't wait to decorate our house some more!
10. Rise
This place has been the talk of the town! Noel and I were out at Petco the other day and saw the line was wrapped around the store, so I went with my friends on more of an off peak time! My friends both got biscuits and a beet donut and said they were all delicious! (I was on the 21 day fix so I am indulging at a later date!)
Hope everyone has a great week! Let me know if you know of any places that should be on my must try list!
Xoxo,
Christie
