Restaurants on repeat
Looking for a unique place for dinner with creative dishes and amazing drinks? Sweet Basil on Moody Street in Waltham is it! With its kitschy vibe (a Smeg refrigerator sits in the entrance, and billowy curtains hang throughout the restaurant among the cozy tables with mismatched chairs. Order the Baked Gouda over salad, the crispy brussel sprouts and fried calamari. Fun drinks like Sex in the Watch City do not disappoint!
Sweet Basil on Moody
This is one of my favorite Waltham hangouts. Great drinks, amazing crispy brussel sprouts and potstickers. They have a nice variety of healthy bowls and salads that you won't find anywhere else. I like sitting at the high tops in the bar area. It's a great spot!

Bunny Margaritas Recipe
I don't love meal prepping, but this recipe is easy, quick and so worth it! I have made it for the last three weeks in a row and then I have a delicious breakfast for Monday through Friday. I've ditched my crappy protein bars and I couldn't be happier! The blueberries get even plumper in the overnight oat mixture and the maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla protein powder give it delicious flavor! It's good for you and tastes great – what more could you ask for?

Clam Shell Art Projects
This is best brand I’ve used for decoupaging in clam shells.

This brand of napkin works well for the shell decoupage craft. You can easily separate the design layer from the other layers. Just dispose of the white layers or use them as napkins for the snacks you make while crafting😀

You need a nice thick, and metallic gold paint for the rim of the shell to give it a finished look. This brand of gold leaf paint sticks well and goes on smoothly.
FolkArt Gold Metallic DIY Craft Paint 2oz
These very fine paint brushes woth stiff bristles work well for applying the gold paint around the edges of the shell.
Transon 7pcs Small Detail Paint Brushes
These foam paint brushes work the best for spreading the Modge Podge on the shell and then carefully on the napkin for the first coat. Then add at least two more thin coats.
Royal & Langnickel Crafter's Choice 4 Foam Brushes
The clear spray glaze really makes the project shine. Put at least three coats on the shell to finish off the project and protect it from moisture. Gives it a beautiful, glass-like finished look.
Krylon Triple Thick Clear Glaze Spray
Sand paper helps you smooth out the edges after you remove the excess napkins around the rim of the shell.
