Today is my first Oh, How Pinteresting post! I love Pinterest and I am on it everyday so these posts will definitely be a regular fixture on the blog. Join the link up below!
There is a serious lack of Taco Bells in Boston. I am pretty sure there is one at the most and it is not near downtown. Since I am from the Midwest where the Taco Bells are a plenty, it was a pretty big shock when I moved here last year.
My go to favorite meal at Taco Bell is the Crunchwrap Supreme and when I was craving it a few weeks ago, I knew I had to find a recipe to do it myself. After a little searching I came across Hungry Girl’s Crunchtastic Supreme recipe. Since I’m not going for a healthy version of the Crunchwrap Supreme, I revised the recipe a bit and added this cheese sauce recipe.
My Crunchie Wrap recipe is a great alternative to the Crunchwrap Supreme. For me, actually, it is better because I can add and subtract the ingredients I want. For me, that is no tomatoes and extra cheese. Try out the recipe and customize it with your faves.
I’m not much of a movie person because I tend to get bored with them. Give me 5 episodes of a 1-hour tv show over a 90 minute movie any day! Even though I am not the biggest fan, there are a ton of classic movies that I want to see. One of those movies that I wanted to see was Breakfast at Tiffany’s and luckily for me it is available on Netflix.
Storyline via IMDB:
Struggling writer Paul Varjak moves into a New York apartment building and becomes intrigued by his pretty, quirky neighbor Holly Golightly. Holly’s lifestyle confuses and fascinates Paul; in public she flits through parties with a sexy, sophisticated air, but when they’re alone she changes into a sweetly vulnerable bundle of neuroses.I really liked Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Holly Golightly, played by Audrey Hepburn, is a complex character that I found myself wanting to know more about at the end of the movie. I am now interested in reading the book written by Truman Capote that inspired the movie. From reviews I have read it seems like the book is a bit different from the movie but books always have so much more detail so I definitely will try to add it to my reading list.
You can check out the opening for the movie below but I definitely recommend watching it in its entirety.
Several months ago I went to the holiday party for a company that the company I work for does a lot of business with. Usually I don’t like to gamble which includes entering into raffles but, since I didn’t have to pay to go the event, I decided to put $10 in so I could give to the charity that was getting the proceeds.
As luck would have it, two of my raffle tickets ended up being drawn and I got $30 in burritos and 4 free passes ($120 value) to a wine festival! I should really gamble more often!
This weekend Wine Fest arrived and I took a few girls from work with me. As soon as we got in they gave us a little plastic cup of beer (weird for a wine event) and let us in. Given that we all work in the jewelry industry the first thing we were drawn to was the stand with all the pretty baubles.
Very smart move having the cute jewelry around a bunch of sloshed women! Usually I wouldn’t fall for this marketing trick but once again, since I got to go to the event for free anyway I let myself indulge, especially since everything was marked 10% off (another marketing plot but whatever…).
The first piece I was drawn to was the beaded wrap bracelet. My wrists are so tiny and it is always difficult for me to find bracelets that fit but, the way this bracelet is designed, it fit perfectly.
The second piece that I picked out was the three-tone necklace. This piece I kind of got on a whim because it went well with the dress I was wearing that day. Oh well, hopefully it matches something else in my wardrobe.
At the end of the day the damage was under $60 and my pieces are super cute. Honestly, my wallet usually suffers a much worse fate during a normal two and half hours out drinking so I will consider this a win.
When I heard about Fab.com a several months ago I joined it like I join every other new tech site I hear about. I always love being an early adopter. The main difference between Fab and other sites, however, is that I keep visiting it. Not only do I keep visiting the site but I keep visiting every single day!
Each day at 11AM ET there are new and unique items highlighted that are sure to appeal to anyone who checks out the site. Aside from the variety of products they have in their daily featured sales, Fab also has specialty shops like Fashion, Art, Foodie, Jewelry, Pets, Vintage and many more! There is so much to choose from and with most things on the site being under $50, there is something for everyone’s budget.
After several months of checking the site out though, I still hadn’t made a purchase but, as if Fab.com knew I was right of the edge of purchasing, they sent me a $15 credit that pushed me over into shopping time.
Stay tuned for future posts to see what I purchased but in the meantime, sign up with Fab! After using my credit from last month they have already added $10 in credit to my account. Yep, I know, they know my weakness and are using it against me!
Oh well, can’t wait for my next purchase!
This recipe is inspired by the Ultimate Clean & Lean Lettuce Wrap which I found while scouring Pinterest. The lettuce wrap is super easy to make, healthy and very tasty.
Today is the first day of my 101 tasks in 1001 days project. 1001 days is about 2.75 years. Seems like a lot of time but since that is around how long I have been out of college and that feels like it has gone so fast, I’m sure the time will fly by. Hopefully this will be a great way for me to organize my personal goals and make it easier to keep track of my progress.
Calvin Klein Skinny Jeans (in Skinny Fit Thallium Wash Jeans and Straight Skinny Fit Rinse Jeans), L.L. Bean Softpack Cooler, Bass Boat Shoes
Chris and I took a quick trip to Freeport, ME on Saturday to explore the outlets and we made some great purchases.
Skinny Jeans – I haven’t bought new jeans in over two years and was in desperate need. Love washes and $40 each plus $5 off for signing up for CK’s text messages, it was a pretty good deal.
Cooler – I’ve been in need of cooler for so long and as soon as I saw this one I fell in love. This will be so perfect for camping and trips to beach. Chris bought the matching mini cooler so it is a perfect set.
Boat Shoes – I’m a bit late on this trend but I hadn’t been able to find a style and price that worked for me. Luckily, however, at Calvin Klein they gave me a coupon for 15% off at Bass making go in the store (which I wouldn’t have otherwise) and get awesome shoes for $40!
