Blaze Pizza: Fast-Fire'd Custom Built Artisanal Pizzas

Blaze Pizza is one of our go-to places to grab a quick bite. It's a few blocks down from where we live and the service is outstanding. Being the creature of habit that I am, I always get the Green Stripe with red onion and olives while my husband is more adventurous often building his own. Above are two Green Stripe pizzas we devoured a few days ago. If you want to learn more about their signature pizzas, here is a link to their website

It is Monday morning and I am a bit lethargic and recovering from a busy weekend, just wanted to quickly share these photos before I forget. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and wishing you all a productive week!

I was sent a pair of the Sport Foot Cover in white for review consideration and let me tell you, this is my new favorite workout socks!


 photo KushyfootSportFootCover2_zps6ba53783.jpg


I have been focusing on my fitness this spring and I am big on cardio. The last thing I want to worry about when I am on the treadmill are my socks: Are they too thick/heavy? Are they slipping off of my feet? Should I adjust them? These Sport Foot Covers are the perfect socks for running. Fit is great, fabric is lightweight and comfortable. I would get these in black soon, I am not the biggest fan of white socks but it is a plus that these don't show when I wear them. I am beyond glad that I can get 3 pairs for $13.47, a workout gear staple that will not break the bank makes me a happy camper.

If you are interested, you can get yours at Kushyfoot. Enjoy!

The Maddyloo no-crease hair ties are the cutest solution for pulling your hair back with enough elastic to keep a ponytail in place, but wide enough to not leave a dent. From camouflage and metallic to rhinestone and tie dyed, Maddyloo has found a way to marry function with beautiful eye (or wrist) candy. This Mother's Day, Maddyloo has created the perfect gift for that someone special on your list with their Mini Heart Box. Available in fourteen different color themes, each adorable heart-shaped box contains seven hair ties guaranteed to make your heart skip a beat.

A heart-warming gift this Mother's Day season, the Maddyloo Mini Heart Box is a great way to show how much you truly care; it's a gift after her own heart. The Maddyloo Mini Heart Box is available for $15 in the following collections online at www.maddyloo.com

 Black Cherry • Chocolate Kiss • Cosmic Blue • Emerald City Gum Drop • Kiss & Tell • Lady Bug • Mermaid • Pink Ice Pirate Love • Safari • Silver Orchid • Sweet 16 • Summer Lovin'

---

Maddyloo generously sent me a mini heart box for review consideration. I have been using these for working out and aside from being no-crease hair ties, these give me a secure ponytail without giving me the headache I usually get from hair ties I get from the drugstore. That reason alone made me a fan! I am heading to Maddyloo and check all the other collections for my mom and sisters right after this. You can also find them on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook

I hope this review was helpful and thanks for stopping by!

ZARA: Recent Spring Fashion Finds + Update

 photo ZaraShoppingBag_zps8aaad976.jpg  photo ZaraSpringPurchases_zps5fba31a7.jpg  photo ZaraSpringBucketBag_zps96b6310e.jpg  photo ZaraSpringLoafers_zps7fc3845e.jpg  photo ZaraSilk_zps7e4e99f3.jpg  photo ZaraSpringPurchases1_zps780299b7.jpg
Bucket Bag with Side Pocket in Orange 79.90 USD - Soft Moccasin in Coral 79.90 USD - Silk Eau de toilette 16.90 USD 

 I have been on a serious spring cleaning the past month and what better reason to buy new pieces for my wardrobe than a closet with a little extra space?

I wanted to start with accent pieces like this eye-catching orange bucket bag and statement coral moccasins. I have been buying a lot of white tops (somebody stop me, please) and a beautiful pop of orange or coral is exactly what the fashion doctor ordered. I also am going through a transition and since it is spring, I thought it was time to get a new fragrance. I did not have any brand in mind but as I was checking out, I spritzed Silk on my wrist and had to have it. I definitely would write a review as soon as I can. 

I would like to thank all of you who stuck around, I am more than aware that I have been MIA and seeing that you still follow my blog is heartwarming to say the least. I have a lot of ideas and posts in store for all of you, I have missed blogging more than I thought I would. Thank you so much for stopping by and now I am off to visit your blogs!
