Yesterday was National Chocolate Cupcake day! I wanted to take Aub out for a treat, so I looked up bakeries in my area. I came across a place called Gigi’s Cupcakes in McCandless Pennsylvania. It seemed super cute, their cupcakes looked amazing, and we had never been there before.

The cupcakes really didn’t disappoint. They were HUGE and looked so gorgeous. The icing was super sweet, which really made my daughter happy. They were perfect for a little treat yourself adventure.
We ended up sitting down at the coffee shop right next door. We had never been there either and hot coffee is always a good idea to me.

It was completely different atmosphere at Convive. So relaxed. The women who waited on us were kind and they made a good cup of coffee. The shop was full of plants and cute little areas to sit and chill. I wasn’t hating their choice in radio station either.
I’d say that we made it a successful cupcake day. ♥




CONVIVE AND CUPCAKES. ♥

Aubrey and I visited one of Pittsburgh’s “most Instagrammable” spots, and it did not disappoint!


This gorgeous place doesn’t just stop at coffee. It’s also a boutique! I moseyed through the boutique area before making my coffee selection, (because my daughter and I are both clumsy and I wasn’t trying to make that kind of a first impression today.) and they had the cutest clothes & accessories available. ♥


The Loveliest was exactly that… The Loveliest. ♥
The feminine aesthetic coupled with the relaxing atmosphere really made this place a winner for me. (It’s definitely a low-key anxiety friendly place.) My daughter has already asked a handful of times when we’ll be visiting the shop again. (Success!) The staff were friendly and I could tell we were in the presence of a serious #GirlBoss business.


Aubrey and I were feeling up for an adventure, so I started Googling places in our area for us to go visit. Since we’re both early birds, something involving coffee seemed like the perfect mother-daughter date idea. ♥

The Loveliest Co. was one of the top search results that I arrived at. I was curious based solely on the name, but once I saw their social media, I knew we had to see it in person!

It was love at first sight. So much pink and gold. Marble counters. The chairs! The Swing! *swoon* It’s like they pulled it straight from a Pinterest board. Both of our hearts were smiling as soon as we walked through the door.

The drinks are definitely Instagram-friendly. Aubrey picked out a pink lemonade with a purple ombre, while I played it safe with a Salted Caramel latte. Both drinks were delicious and visually stunning. ♥

AND THE CLOTHES! …


I had a moment while I was here. Everything about this shop made me miss my Grandma. (Gigi) I think that her heart would have been smiling there too. Or maybe it was wherever she is now. ♥ That’s how I really knew that this was a safe space to …just be… for a little while. (Especially on such a rainy day.)

You’ll find The Loveliest Co located right outside Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, in the picturesque area of Sewickley. Check out theloveliest.co for more details!
