The best Philly delivery we’ve had in quarantine

Today, I heard the news about the first local Philly spot closing its doors due to financial strain from the current Covid quarantine. I have been so, so, so thankful for each local restaurant figuring out how to run a business right now, opening up to offer delicious food, contactless Philly delivery, and well, some sanity. Because yes, we’re all cooking a whole lot more, but some nights, you really just can’t do another dish, am I right?

Jim & I have ordered out a bit, usually getting several dishes to last us over the next few days. While pretty much everything has been good, a few spots have really stood out to us as some of the best delivery food in Philadelphia.

I am sharing tons of the food we’ve been chomping on (both cooking & from restaurants!) over on Instagram if you’re interested in following along there. And now, on to our absolute favorite Philadelphia delivery spots!

What You Can Expect at a Di Bruno Bros. After Hours Event

I talk a lot about things you can do with groups in Philly. But for the years I’ve lived in Philly, there was one event that had been ~on my list~ for ages but I never had the chance to go to… until this summer! My friend Kelly chose the Di Bruno Bros After Hours event for her birthday this year, and my girlfriends and were v excited to be a part of it.

The time I was on Philly Mag talking about my body

It’s the Tuesday after Labor Day (a hard day, some may say) and I’m in a bathing suit on PhillyMag.com.

Be Well Philly asked to share my story in their new Transformation series. The series used to document the stories of people’s weight loss journeys, but they’re transitioning it to body love & acceptance, something I’m obviously all about.

I did the interview last week over the phone, and was thrilled to be able to (hopefully!) influence the next generation of Philly body positive “influencers.”

The Best Amazon Prime Day Sale Products I Currently Own & Love

If you’re like me, Prime Day is a taaaad bit overwhelming. I love more digestable lists people have put together, but I never know if the products people are curating for me are actually tested by them, or just things that are high priced and deeply discounted.

I’ve been a Prime member for years, so I’ve tried my fair share of random Amazon products. I wasn’t going to post anything today, but when I started perusing and seeing that a ton of the things I used currently and really love were discounted, I knew I wanted to share my list of Prime Day deals.

My first trip to LBI with Fearless Restaurants

I had never been to Long Beach Island (or LBI, as we will henceforth be referring to this pretty island of beach towns) before. As you may remember, I grew up at another beach, so we didn’t really venture to other shore towns when I was younger (I have since started to expand my locales, including exploring North Wildwood at The Shore House last summer).

Trip to LBI

You probably know Fearless Restaurants, they’re a restaurant group with spots in Philly (Moshulu, Louie Louie, and White Dog Cafe), the Main Line (Autograph Brasserie and the other White Dog locations), and of course, on LBI! They invited some ~influencers~ to check out what the summer life is like at their beachy home, and I was thrilled to see what they had in store!

30 Philadelphia things I love (for my 30th birthday)

I turn 30 today. And in honor of all of the love Philadelphia has brought me during my adult years, I wanted to share a few things I love about Philly, too. I kept this list in the same order as I jotted them down, and I am not kidding, I did a quick count once as I was about midway through, and then landed exactly on 30 before I numbered them. Here’s hoping that is a sign that my 30th year will line up just as perfectly. 🙂

Pizzeria Beddia 2: What to Know

The za is back in town, folks! I was lucky enough to be bopping on Instagram when @pizzacamp posted that his newest shop, Pizzeria Beddia 2 (1313 North Lee Street), was open and accepting reservations. I created a Resy account real quick and snagged a reservation for 6 that finally arrived this past week.

Tonight’s Dinner Plans (for a Good Cause!)

Side note: Hi. How are ya? I’d like to start off with a quick story, that I’ve been getting inspired to blog again lately, decided this would be my post in question, sat down to write it Monday night, logged into HP, and just updated a plug in or two as one does, and my site crashed. An extremely kind sir at my office helped me bring it back up this week, and here we are, and I’ve given you no notice to get out and make your plans for today. However, I know some of you are a spontaneous bunch, and I thought this event was still important enough to share, so here we go.

I know many of you are just like me, and finding any good reason to go out to eat at one of Philly’s incredible restaurants is a welcomed treat. 

Philly PR Girl recently invited me to a preview of this year’s Dining Out For Life event, benefitting local HIV/AIDS service organizations, and I was truthfully so surprised everyone I knew wasn’t participating in this.

Come take a peek inside the brand new @thirdlove C Come take a peek inside the brand new @thirdlove Center City store! #MyThirdLove #ThirdLovePartner 

I was so excited to hear ThirdLove opened a store on Walnut Street because, as much as you guys knowwww I love a good online shop & try on, bras do give me a bit of pause when I haven’t been measured in store. The new Philly location gives us truly the best of both worlds. 

If you are looking for a reason to shop, ThirdLove is offering Her Philly gals 15% off with code EMILY15 - either in-store or online - now through 2/15! Get those Valentine’s Day goods! 😘

Keep watching to see my experience with my incredible fit stylists & which ThirdLove bras were my favorite. I know a lot of you are fans of the brand - any pieces I must try next?!
