Restaurant Review: It’s A Wrap ATL
It’s a Wrap cafe in Atlanta, Ga is owned and operated by Ms. Felicia Fox. She just opened this second location on Auburn Av near Grady Hospital and has a second location in Decatur, Ga.
The food here is DELICIOUS! It’s a Wrap has wraps of course, but also salads, sandwiches and smoothies!
I had the Buffalo Shrimp Wrap and added avocado. They make all of their meals fresh right in front of you and you can get your choice of wrap (I got the regular white wrap, mom got spinach).
Mom got the Jerk Wrap, and her favorite ginger beer
The Atlanta location is a stop and go, so you wont have much room to sit down, but you can relax and eat at the Decatur location.
The restaurant was nice and clean, no smoking, and easy to find right off the exit. They also cater and deliver if you have a big order. (I also heard they are hiring for the new location 😉).
It’s a Wrap is Nia Gabrielle approved! Be sure to go by one of their locations, say hey to Ms. Felicia and tell her I sent you!

My Surprise Sweet 16 at Dazzle Me Parties
I am so excited that my first blog post is about my Sweet 16 day at Dazzle Me Parties in Atlanta, GA!
I thought that my mom was going to interview the owner, but she surprised me and my friends with a spa day for my birthday!
The spa is AMAZING! I thought that it was going to be just for little girls, but we had such a great time!
The owner, Jean Noisette is super sweet, and you can tell that she really enjoys running her business and creating parties for her customers.
During my day, we listened to the music I chose, had mani/pedis, and even learned how to use healthy foods as facials! I had no clue that you could use oatmeal and yougurt to make your skin feel so good. (I promise you I wanted to eat it, but I didn’t…lol)
Ms. Noisette said that Dazzle Me Parties is not just for parties. You can host fashion shows, regular parties, dinners, etc at the spa.
