Weekend Adventures at Smorgasburg!!

Despite the rain last weekend, my fiance and I with a couple of friends trekked out to Brooklyn to check out Smorgasburg in Williamsburg. Though it was raining and a bit chilly since we were close by the water, we still managed to have a pretty great time. If you have never been to Smorgasburg, I would highly recommend that you go and check it out. It's a great place to hang out with friends, grab a few bites and get a couple of homemade yummy drinks. If you do plan on going though, I would suggest that you go by noon since most of the shops were either sold out or closing up because of the inclement weather. I was a little bit disappointed since the rain really wasn't even that bad. It was only drizzling at most and it began to taper off later in the evening anyway. (Beverage in the image was from Bolivian Llama Party. Unfortunately, we did not try any of their food, but their homemade drinks were unique and really good!)

Review: Grizzly Wild Pollack Oil

I had to take a minute and come back to re-review this product that I received in my very first Pawalla box. Amazingly enough, we have gone through the entire bottle and I am loving this product so much that we are looking into purchasing another bottle once I save up enough paw points for the purchase.

The Grizzly Wild Pollack Oil comes in a 4 oz bottle that has a little pump for easy dispensing. It is $6.99 for the bottle on the website (www.pawalla.com), the same size that we received in the package.

We have been steadily using this product in our dog's breakfast for several weeks now. Their coats so shiny and soft. We couldn't believe it, even after only using this product for a few days, we saw results right away. In addition, our fur babies loved the product so much that they would lick every drop from their bowl after eating all of their food. I have never seen their bowls cleaner.

I do, however, think that the price tag is a little bit steep for such a small bottle. Though it proves to have great results, we do only plan on repurchasing this product after racking up enough points to get one for free. Please keep in mind that this product is a fish oil and that it does have quite a pungent scent. Other than that, I'd highly recommend this product.

If anyone is interested in signing up, you can sign up through my referral link here. You don't have to use it, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. You will get $6.50 off of your first box and I will get a $10 credit towards my account. We've been getting this monthly subscription for two months now and we are extremely happy with most of the products. Please keep your eyes peeled for another review coming soon!

My Birthday Weekend!

With my horrible luck, I actually got sick again shortly after my birthday. Hence, my lack of updates for the week. My birthday was eleven days ago and my sweet and thoughtful fiance had prepared the most precious of weekends for us. Here is a quick summary and just a few snap shots of the wonderful weekend that we had.

Recipe: Sweet & Sour Fried Pork

Last week, as I was attempting to plan my menu for the week, I started to think about my grandma's awesome sweet and sour fried pork. I swear, the things I miss the most after moving away from home are my grandma's home cooked meals and soups. Everything else, I basically can get by without. Thankfully, she still does pack me foods and soups on occasion when we see her on a weekend. I mean what would I do without the love of my grandmother? Probably nothing, haha!

Anyway, as I venture out to learn to cook on my own and in my own kitchen, I realized that every time I attempt a copy cat recipe of hers, it never quite turns out the same. Although this one is a little bit different from hers, I felt it was still good enough to share with you guys. Trust me, its nothing like the Chinese take out that you can get every night. Despite the frying, which takes up the most time, this recipe is easy to put together and can make a very satisfying meal.

Review: Pawalla Subscription Boxes

So, we have joined Pawalla, have you? Pet subscription services/boxes have totally been hitting the market lately. I feel like I read about a new monthly subscription box that's available everyday. So far, we've heard of Bark Box, Spoiled Rotten and a few others that escape me at this moment. However, I did want to take a minute to review this service that we have joined just last month. We were lucky enough to have come upon a deal on Fab that allowed us to obtain this service at a much cheaper rate. We actually received our first two boxes last month and why did it take so long for me to post up a review? Yes, I actually tried out a majority of these products before letting you know what we thought of this particular subscription. Interested? Then please keep reading below.

Updates: Where the Heck Have YOU Been?!

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone? It's May already and I do realize that I haven't blogged in over a month. Please accept my most sincerest apologies. This past month just flew by. With being sick for over two weeks with the flu and losing my voice, it hasn't been a very happy nor productive month for me. In short, a lot of things happened (mentioned later in this post) and well, to say the least, life is finally returning to normalcy, somewhat. Anyway, the good news is that I'm finally better, (believe it or not, not nearly 100% though) but way better than what I've been in the past couple weeks. So here I am trying to catch up with updates and blogging. So where shall I begin?
