the luggage room pizzeria

i must say, i absolutely love the pizza crust here!  it's got that chewy-ness that's very rare to find with pizza crusts.  sooo gooood.  

we started off with some bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese...

the flavors were awesome, but the bacon wasn't crispy at all =( and we were supposed to start off with it, but we got it after the pizza came out because they forgot.  they took the charges off our bill =) on their own, so that was nice.

hubby had the gladiator: spicy italian sausage + salumeria biellese pepperoni + red sauce. 

he added an egg, at no charge!

i had the shattuck ave.: burrata + garlic + piquillo peppers + balsamic reduction.

yuuum!

oh and before you leave, they offer you free cookies.  they're so good, i wanted to take the entire plate!  i def took more than one!  teehee.

chocolate chip + sea salt.  FTW!

we will definitely be back.  i already know what i want to order next - the padre: prosciutto di san daniele + figs + maytag blue cheese + arugula.  check out their menu.

hello kitty + vans

hello kitty + vans!

stopped by the vans store while we are at the mall, earlier.  turns out it's brand spanking new!  so new that they didn't even have the women's sizes in the store yet (arriving tomorrow).  the lady asked me if i wanted to try the kids sizes, and lucky me, they fit. =)  paying $37 vs. $50?  yes, please!  of course, it's limited edition (duh)... so once they're sold out, bye bye.

never thought i'd ever buy a pair of vans again...but, i just couldn't resist.

consolidating [make up]...

i took alllllll of this...

and put it into this awesome pomegranate unii palette...

as you can see, i did have a couple of depotting mishaps (lol)...

but it didn't end up being as hard as i had thought it would be (yay).

a few more pics...

magnetized labels...

side by side...

 check out the huge mirror, rubber gasket and super useful (movable) thumb grip!  they really thought of everything! 

i want to get one in every shade (there's six)!  

cool extras:

*free (and super fast!) shipping

*awesome(!!!) customer service

*super fun packaging (origami instructions!)

*quantity discounts (not much, but hey, better than nothing!)

happy easter!

yay for easter!  and easter brunch!  hehehe.

just wanted to share my easter nails!  sorry they're already raggedy - been sporting them all week...

getting back on the bike...

the last time i went riding, it had been so long the battery wouldn't start.  i had to go to costco to get a thinggie to be able to jump start it.  -_-

anyhoo, i wanted to go riding today, but the hubby was feeling lazy.  -_-

maybe tomorrow...

here are some pics from our e-shoot that was shot by the fabulous duo - erin and courtney de jauregui of www.erinheartscourt.com
