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.
I was pretty disappointed by the associates working during our trip. Maybe they were having a rough day, but I felt really unwelcome from the moment I walked in. I could feel the girl behind the counter rolling her eyes at us for not knowing what we wanted. You can’t win them all I suppose. I didn’t want to bother them, so we took our cupcakes to go.
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.
We came home after that KO’d all cuddled up watching The Masked Singer.
I’d say that we made it a successful cupcake day. ♥
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! …
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.
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!

I think there might be one or two items on this list that I didn’t experience & put up with for years. There are a lot of other things that aren’t included on this list. Real love doesn’t hurt…be aware. 💕
