Are you ready for the exclusive…
It's that time again...are you ready for my obsessions for the week?! I'm switching it up a little bit with doing a beauty treatment instead of fashion. If you'd like to see what trends I'm excited about in the fashion world, check out my Keep account here! I save it all so I can come back and shop for it later and with any luck on sale. Let's begin....

This week instead of a recipe, its more of a suggestion...a strong suggestion to go to Employees Only in the West Village and try the gnocchi! So delicious, I'm still daydreaming about my visit their on Sunday. The cocktails are pretty incredible too! Just beware of the cocktails if you have plans for the next day or a busy work schedule; every time I go the next day is spent recuperating.
Tech Savvy: Rent or Buy you Tech Accessories

Lumoid makes trying new tech products simple without the hefty price tag! There are so many new gadgets that make us feel like we desperately need them, but wouldn't it be nice to try them out before making the commitment? I think so. You can try single products or get a kit that fits your needs/interests. Send it back when your done or purchase easily through Lumoid. I found this video to help further explain the how to's and whys you may have (click here).
For the Pets: Cute Storage

Seriously, how cute is this?! I found this on the Premiere Home & Gifts website. If you're like me and always looking for the same quality, but at a cheaper price try TJ Maxx or Home Goods. They have awesome dishes that have air tight seals that I keep Chicken's food and treats in. I like my food to stay fresh, why not give him the same luxury.
Outings: Queen of the Night
I've been talking to anyone will listen about wanting to go to see Queen of the Night since my birthday in September. The show looks amazing and its an open bar cocktail hour, then full dinner (including lobster & roast pork) with carafes of wine while you are entertained! I've been dying to get dressed up and enjoy the festivities. Enough is enough I'm going! Its a little pricey (you can find deals from $155+) but its worth all you get out of it. I've decided to treat myself once I get my refund from my taxes, giving me the chance to talk about something new...finally.
Post a Comment
Feeling under the weather isn't just a human thing, it can affect your pets too! Recently, I've had my own scare with my little guy (Chicken). While I was at work Chicken seemed to have hurt himself somehow, affecting his lower back. Being that he was able to walk and go outside, I thought it was a something that would go away, eventually. But after giving it a few days, I made an appointment to see the vet during the Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness. Apparently it was a slipped disc in his lower back that needed to be treated with anti-immflamuation medicine and some pain meds. Thankfully we did not need the surgery and he's expected to make a full recovery after a week of medicine and 3 weeks total of bedrest.
Being that in my personal life, I get asked so many questions about Chicken and the fact that he's definitely more popular than I am, I thought I'd make a post of what's been helping me take care of him while he's feeling 'under the weather.'
Sweet Spots: I usually buy this for him around his birthday. Its dog ice cream and he adores it! What better way to treat your pet than a sweet treat that is natural and healthy for him.
Pill Pockets: These have been a life saver! They're kind of expensive ($9.99 for 30) but if your pet refuses to take pills and gets sick when you give them human food like peanut butter or cheese this will be your holy grail and they come in several flavors.
Pop-up Bowls: Usually I take these when we travel or to go to the park, but since he's been sick I've used them for quick feeding and drinking so he doesn't have to get up up and further strain his injury. Plus, I don't have to worry about making room for his other bigger & bulkier dishes taking up space wherever he choose to lay at the time.
Another must...a warm, plush fuzzy blanket: My mom bought this for him a couple Christmas' ago. He was so excited that he sat on it when it was still in the box! While he's been recuperating he's been laying on this nonstop. I say use whatever your pet feels most comfortable and puts them at ease.
Well, that's it for my tips, for now. Hope you enjoyed them :) I'll start adding some pet reviews into the mix. Chicken is a big part of my life, just like most pet owners. And if you're ever feeling curious about what he's up to you can always catch up on his activities on Instagram or Tumblr.
