Border Cafe

Raf and I went to the Border Cafe in Harvard Square Friday night.
They have Cajun and Mexican food. We had enchiladas and fajitas.
They also have delicious margaritas! Yum.
I like how it's decorated inside. Kind of cheesy, but cool. I love color Christmas lights.
After we went home and played Smooth Moves!

Badger Cocoa Butter Lip Balm

Badger Cocoa Butter Lip Balm is by far my favorite. They taste and feel great. The best part is how big they are -- much larger than regular lip balm sticks which makes them really fun to use (at least for me.) :)I have Sweet Orange and Creamy Cocoa. I want to get Cool Mint too. I bought mine at the Portsmouth Health Food Store but I've seen them other places like Whole Foods. I bet the best grocery store ever, Wegmans, would have them. If only there was one in the Boston area. :(

Btw, if your lips are really chapped I recommend Blistex Lip Medex, which I also love.

I hope everyone is having a great week! xo

Curly Spider Plants

I'm very happy that my curly spider plants are growing up! You may remember their baby pictures from here and here. I hope they continue to grow and get big and curly. I love it when my plants are happy! :)

Spain... On the Road Again

Spain... On the Road Again is my favorite TV show right now (Dancing With the Stars is my second.... I think). It follows Mario Batali, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Bittman (a food columnist for the New York Times), and Claudia Bassols (a Spanish actor) as they travel through Spain. I love it because it shows lots of beautiful and interesting scenery, people, and of course, food!
Some of my favorite moments were when they ate at a floating restaurant, grilled veggies outdoors near windmills, met Frank Gehry, traveled with Michael Stipe (from REM), and visited a Dali museum. They eat lots of seafood, veggies, and ham. It's a really fun show to watch.

PS I learned about Mark Bittman from this show and decided to look for his column, The Minimalist, on the New York Times website. I then discovered his blog, Bitten and I love it! It has so many interesting food articles and recipes.

PPS I love the New York Times website! I could read it all day. There are so many interesting articles.

Snowflake Dress

I had so much fun wearing my new snowflake dress today. It was cozy and comfortable. I need more outfits like this! Here is me this morning before work:And when I got home tonight!
And here is a variation I wore to make my commute a little warmer (don't worry I wore a jacket too). It's a little matchy matchy, but I liked it.

I wore my snowflake dress (charlotte russe), black turtleneck (target), black tights (express), bossy sneaks (forever 21), black cardigan (old navy), and white scarf.

Snacks and Clips

This is one of my favorite after work snacks: sea salt pita chips from Whole Foods and hot pepper jelly. So much flavor -- hot, sweet, and salty! I loooove hot pepper jelly. :)I don't have any bag clips so I started using binder clips to keep things closed. I realized I like them much better! As many of you probably know, I LOVE office supplies. I was so excited when I thought of using these cool clips Sarah gave me in the kitchen.

I need to find more cool office supplies. :)

Bossy Sneakers

I love my new black shiny Bossy Sneakers for Forever 21. I like to wear them with tights and skirts and dresses. I might wear them with pants too. They're really comfortable and fun to wear.
