Escape to Tuscany...or stop by BRIO!

This is my second time there; and I have to say I will go again and again!
Even though it was Mothers day The service was great and the food... Mamma Mia! Delicious.


There were 9 of us each one got a different plate...I only tood pictures of mine and my husbands

Pasta Alla Vodka
Delicate Ricotta filled handmade pasta, with crispy pancetta, garlic, basil and a spicy tomato Parmesan cream sauce $15.15 ( I added chicken so it might a little bit more)


This sauce was soooo amazingly yummy! it was just the perfect amont. What makes this different you ask? Well this Pasta a la Vodka doesn't come with your regular angel hair pasta, or penne pasta, it was these pouches of Ricotta! I have never tasted something so yummy.

Crab & Shrimp Crepes With Fontina, scrambled eggs, asparagus, Hollandaise and charred tomato. Served with potatoes peperonata and fresh fruit $14.85


This was also super good! i had a bite or two. I think that if it was earlier I would have had it, but I was in the mood for pasta that day.


And last but not least we had the Peach Sangria! I had ordered this before...honestly it's so refreshing ! and addictive and the fruits in it uhhhmmmm it's just the best! 
White Peach Sangria peach nectar, fresh berries and citrus fruits, peach schnapps and chardonnay, served on the rocks
But then this time, they decided to change the recipe! there were no fruits at all! i was sooo disappointed! I still drank it but I didn't enjoy it as much
here is a Before and After pic

Before- It looks so refreshing!

After - Doesn't look so fresh now

Overall I really like the food and the ambiance; the service was also great! 

Hope you guys get a chance to try it!

I guess it depends where the location is, this was at

The Shops at Pembroke Gardens 14576 Southwest 5th Street
Pembroke Pines, FL (954) 431-1341 l - 

My dreams aren't like this

I have to say sometimes I go on these makeup hauls...not even hauls but maybe a brand will come out with something new, I see it on Facebook and then go buy it. maybe this time it was a mistake =(

I got the new Dream Bouncy Blush, what a wist of money; this is just a shimmery cream, it's almost like a thick lotion. 

I read in some blogs -after btw - that you had to use the right tools so that it won't get messed up (they probably meant my fingers), but i Honestly had no luck

this is what it's suppose to look like (online picture)

And this is what mine looks like, after using it for a week

it keeps getting worst and worst! ugggghhhhh I just hate it. I feel like they made this makeup for little girls or even teenagers.

And you can't even see the color, it just looks like a light, light shimmer.

I don't recommend it at all =(. I should have done some research instead of looking at the pretty colors and shapes, and that name! Dream Bouncy Blush; who wouldn't want to have a dream bouncy blush as part of their makeup?

This was more like a nightmare!

ps: I need to take better pictures, I know 

Very Very Juicy

Long story short...I tried this perfume because I smelled it on a girlfriend of mine, day after day, after day, then I went to Ross (yes, ross) and bought the 1.7oz bottle ($29.99), carried it in my purse, wore it almost everyday, until  I ran out of it. Then I debated weather I should buy another one or not, maybe I should try something else - I thought - and I did, but I had to go back to it, after all it is Juicy Couture! Viva la Juicy
Went online to perfumania.com and got the whole package

Viva La Juicy Gift Set

Et voilà!

Perfume Spray 3.4 FL oz (so is the big one )

Perfume Spray .33 FL oz - perfect size for your purse -

Body Lotion 4.2 FL oz - Good because I don't like body wash, I find them useless -
 

I wanted to explain how this perfume smells; I read that someone posted this " when ppl smell you theyll wanna be all over you because its just that kind of perfume!!! but yeah it reminds me of making out"
She's right! it is like making out! It's just sexy!!!

What a Catch!

I had the most improvised visit to this restaurant, Catch of the Day in Miami.

My friends had a layover in Miami, we only had a couple of hours to grab a quick bite...my cousin recommended that we all met at the Restaurant right by the airport " Catch of the day" my first thought was " why in the world would I want to go eat fish, right by the airport?" but anyways we were all in a rush, and had to go some place quick.
Parking in this place is a bit of a hassle, but once you make it (btw i don't recommend valet parking; the vale bumped someones car into another car; so park your car yourself)
People were very friendly they sat us fairly quick even though the place was packed; it was a Friday night.
They took our order and everything started coming out quick. We all shared everything, there was 8 of us:

1. Parrillada de Mariscos ( Grilled Seafood platter) = Grilled Shrimp on skewer, Blackened fish bites, Mussels, Clams, Scallops. They said it was for 2-3 but we all had a little bit of it.
2. Fried Calamari 
3. Lobster Bisque
4. Crispy Whole Red Snapper
5. Plantain Chips
6. Fries

Every single thing that we got was so fresh, so delicious! I also saw other peoples order and they really all looked so yummy! I will definitely visit them again. The pictures on the website look just like their food!
I didn't really have time (or battery) to take pictures...sorry guys =(
