  • The Most Terrific Winter-Wonderland Activities in Central Park

    Hey y’all! Today, She Ate Dat is collaborating with Kindly Beautiful. Where food meets lifestyle! 

    What activities can you do?

    Imagine going to the beautiful Central Park located in NYC for this winter season. Central Park has many attractions and there are many activities you can do while you are there. Apart from the beautiful views and site seeing. The Wollman ice skating rink is one of them during this winter season. The ice-skating season starts during October and ends around April. Each ticket cost range varies from $10-$35 depending on age and or any additional benefits. You can enjoy an activity such as Ice skating with your friends, family or lover. You will have a great bonding experience with your loved ones while also having a great workout section. Your muscles and joints will get even stronger once you finish your ice-skating section and if you do it constantly it will be even better.

    In addition, once you’re done ice skating, you can always go home and have some rest. However, if you are a foodie just go to the Columbus holiday market, around this time of the year. The Columbus holiday market is located right outside Central Park’s entrance. This market runs from November to December every year. In this market you can have a lot of fun by doing some Christmas shopping while also eating some delicious food. Some of the type of food they sell varies from “bureks to tacos to fancy doughnuts and bratwurst.” 

    Therefore, next time you go to Central Park whether it is to walk, site seeing and or ice skate. Please, do yourself a favor and pass through the Columbus holiday market and do some shopping and go ahead and buy you some delicious food. Enjoy!

  • Balancing Act: How to Juggle a Healthy Lifestyle with a Busy Schedule | Through Quick and Nutritious Meals

    Hey y’all, we’re She Ate Dat and we’re collaborating with Kindly Beautiful. I’m sure most of us want to be healthy but always say we don’t have enough time. Well, we’re here to help. Not talking about going straight to exercising but taking steps starting from the inside. Your gut. A healthy meal doesn’t have to be time consuming or take over your morning routine. Here are some recipes and tips to balance your busy schedule to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle.

    First off meal prep. Some might say it’s too much work starting to cook most of the meal just to finish another day but it really does help. More than anything, you don’t necessarily have to start an actual meal to meal prep. If you know most of your recipes will call for diced onions, chopped bell peppers or any other cut up vegetable you’re gonna want to cut them up in bulk and freeze them. This way for any upcoming meals you won’t have to spend any extra time cutting up the veggies.

  • The Chill Vibes of Eating Out: Why It’s a Must for 20-Somethings

    Okuur, let’s give it up about the best part of being a New Yorker and adulting – eating out. It’s not just about stuffing your face with good eats; it’s an escape from the always-on-the-move, NYC grind, and school craziness that keeps us sane, bellies full, and, honestly, happy.

    First off, dining out is like hitting the refresh button on life. Ya just gotta imagine this: you’re tired of staring at the same four walls at home, right? Boom, you hit up a restaurant. Whether you’re trying some fancy new dish or just devouring your go-to comfort food, it’s a taste bud party that breaks the dullness of life. And let’s not forget, that restaurants bring this awesome vibe that will make you forget your woes away every single time.

    And don’t get me started on the mental break it gives you. Work and school can be a real headache. Dining out is like a mini-vacay for your brain. It’s your chance to kick back, forget about those past homework deadlines, and soak in the good vibes. It’s not just about the food; it’s about basking in the atmosphere, appreciating the moment, and letting the stress slip away.

    But the real magic? The social scene. Grabbing a meal together isn’t just about all the delicious carbs; it’s about building connections. Whether you’re catching up with the squad, having a cozy date night, or doing a family hangout. The shared experience creates those awesome memories. Laughter, deep talks, and maybe a few embarrassing stories – all fueled by good eats.

    In a nutshell, eating out is like a secret weapon for everyone. It’s a break from the routine, a celebration of life’s simple joys, and a chance to build those connections that make this whole adulting thing way more fun. So, if you’re wondering why you should hit up a restaurant, just remember: good food, good vibes, and good company – it’s the triple threat that keeps us living our best lives.
