Naptime!

My blog is predominately devoted to my shopping, eating and traveling but I wanted to do a quickie post on the three things that make me the most happy!

These three lovebugs!

I love you three so much my heart could explode!

Our journey from San Francisco to San Antonio!

Beginning our long 6 day journey from S.F. to S.A.

Fairmont hotel in Newport beach SoCal

Miller Harris products.  YAY!

HEHEHEHE

Lucky for me one of my BFF's Shirley was also visiting her family in SoCal while we were spending the night in SoCal.  We got to meet for a quicky brunch and some shopping at South Coast Plaza.

Croque Monsieur

A Loubie store!!

What dreams are made of!! hahaha

Strass galore!  *sigh*

We stopped a night in Scottsdale, AZ at a Kimpton hotel.  They had leopard print bathrobes bahahaha!  How awesome is that?  I was so tempted to buy one hahaha. 

Aveda bath products

My 3 Lovebugs!

I LOVEEEEEE Kimpton brand hotels.   They're always have a definite fresh young boutique vibe to them.

Ribeye w/ fries and vanilla bean gelato

The hubs and I shared this fantastic room service meal.  The ribeye and the vanilla bean gelato was SO crazy nommy.

A little something something I picked up at 70% off at the South Coast Plaza mall!

The hubs made us visit George Bush Sr. & Jr.'s home when we stopped for the night in Midland, TX.

The Hilton in Midland had Peter Thomas Roth products.  SO FREAKIN' AWESOME!

Finally reached San Antonio! WOOT WOOT!

 The San Antonio Riverwalk

The hubs and I normally don't like to eat at tourist traps mostly because they're usually overpriced and the food is subpar but after driving for 8 hours we just decided to have dinner at this place on the Riverwalk because we were so tired and cranky.

Giant Margarita!

Butter w/ HONEY?!?!  OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.  I think I'm going to like Texas.  HAHAHA.

Baby back ribs w/ Potato salad and garlic mashed potatos

The hubs and I shared a plate of ribs and surprisingly they were really yummy.  They were super tender and juicy and the meat fell right off the bone.

Bourbon gingerbread bread pudding and vanilla ice cream

This was pretty yummy the bourbon sauce was totally legit however the bread pudding was a bit unpexpected because they used gingerbread cake.  I like my bread pudding to be mushy the consistantly was a little more rigid than most traditional bread puddings.

The next day the hubs and I spent the entire day moving into our new apartment afterwards the hubs and I went and had a crazy amount of yummy buffalo wings.

That about wraps up our SF to SA road trip update :)

Daddy's Little Girl

<3 my little ewok!

My Week in Photos

Bows!  I love bows :)

However on the right hand I didn't put any bows on and I think I kinda like it better.

 What do you guys think?

I used Chanel Lilac Sky and Sephora by OPI Only Gold for Me

I swear Nordstrom Cafe makes the MOST bomb Salmon Caesar salads and their Parmesan Crostini's are seriously laced with crack.

Pancetta! Pork makes everything better :)

w/ baby scallops and peas :)

Over rice!  It's yummy :) It tastes even better if you bake it with some cheese on top like a Japanese doria.. but I was so busy reading all of your blogs that I lost track of time (GUILTY ;).. and before I knew it the hubs was home and I didn't have time to bake it.. bahahahaha.

EDIT: If you guys have a question about the recipe please refer to the comments section of this post.  I posted a little blurb there.  Thanks :)

Eating the Valentine's Chocolate covered oreo's I got him :)

Dude Anthropologie has some super cute displays!  It's a little tree trunk village... like for gnomes but smaller!

       How freakin' cute is that?!

Napoleon's happy we're home :)

It's been storming really bad the last week in SF so to pass the time the hubs and I played Monopoly!  The hubs calls me "The Shark", and whenever I start building hotels he starts to sing the theme song to Jaws and yells out "SHARK ATTACK"  bahahaha.

Marinated overnight Carne Asada

Deep fried corn pattie w/ lettuce

Marinated Carne Asada goes on top

Sour cream/Salsa/Re fried bean mixture on top :) I swear it looks better then it tastes.. the hubs requests this dish once a week!

So I always try to make my life easier by making things that can translate into at least 2 different dishes in the same week.  The same marinated steak I used in the taco salad I put in a spinach pasta.. and the marinated steak flavor permeates the entire pasta and the flavor is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  Since it's a cream pasta I literally put in three bushels of spinach haha that's the only way I can get the hubs to eat veggies. 

                                                     Does your fur baby do this too?? hahaha.
