We went to the soft opening of ‘BLISS Matcha & Beyond’ in west Hartford Center this weekend. This will be their second location, with their first in downtown New Haven. The cafe was very cute, staff was amazing, and the drinks were great. We got the Strawberry Matcha Latte (my personal favorite) and the Mango Boom - both were delicious.

Try them out during limited hours this week for their soft opening, or visit for their Grand Opening on August 7th!

📍981 Farmington Ave, West Hartford

I can’t wait to go back for their matcha soft serve ice cream 🤤

Come with us to the Women and Wine Golf Clinic at Timberline Golf Club in Berlin ⛳️

I highly recommend doing this, we had a blast! I would consider getting a group of 3-5 friends to make it a weekly group hangout, but honestly I would go by myself as well because everyone was so nice.

The perfect solo girls afternoon in West Hartford…
Head to Mane Loft for a new haircut or color service before taking your new look over to Avert for a solo girls happy hour.

I love Mane Loft for their great service and fun staff, but also for their location. They are right in the parking lot between LaSalle, Farmington, and South Main - so you are next to everything.

I always book my appointments for the afternoon so I can head right out to happy hour or a girls dinner from there. On this day I decided on A’vert Brasserie since I know they are a perfect location for a solo date. The happy hour portions or perfect when you’re dining for one, and the prices are amazing for the quality of food and service.

My hair was done by Nicole Cornelio | West Hartford, CT (Nicky) so request her if you love the look! ❤️
