TGIF

Literally.

Today is not Friday, but I am going to talk about the best happy hour in town! 

Did you know that at TGI Fridays Restaurants they have happy hour twice  a day everyday, and all day Sunday?
That's right, enjoy half priced appetizers, along with happy hour drinks and other goodies. My favorite things are the buffalo boneless wings, with a margarita or two. The potato skins are also a great finger food. The happy hours are Monday through Saturday from 3-7 and 9-closing. As mentioned earlier, it is happy hour all day Sunday-also these special prices are only available in the bar area.  Enjoy!

The easiest route to Vegas

Hello readers!
Today I will talk about little tips you can do in order to save a few bucks on your next Las Vegas getaway.

1. BUS to vegas. Do not drive.
with raging gas prices, you are guaranteed to at least spend $100 on gas through out your trip. Many bus companies offer fares to Las Vegas for about $70 round trip.

2. Take your own food and beverages.
Vegas is the  city that never sleeps, there fore do a little pregaming and pre eating in your hotel room with your own goods from home! Costco has good prices on pretty much anything you need in bulk.

3. Go with a large group.
Try to gather a few friends to go on this trip with you. Not only will expenses be cheaper because they are distributed, you will make memories to last a lifetime with friends.

4. PLAN with time.
In order to avoid at least a few headaches, try to plan your trip in advance in order to be a bit more prepared and have an idea of what activities you will take on.

If I forgot any, feel free to mention them-hope this helps! 

Smiling Soothes the Soul

Friends, my mother always says that everything has a solution except DEATH. (and I like to add on TAXES as well) So hakuna matata, chill out, take a breather, and realize everything will eventually settle itself.
Anyway, I found this little coupon which made me smile, hope you like it as well. Enjoy

Rainbow Roses

Ever looked at a friend and ask them "why so glum chum?"
Well I have a colorful idea to perhaps cheer up a friend or family member.
Materials:
A couple of white roses (or a dozen, whatever you'd like)
4 cups filled halfway with water, similar looking (in height and depth)
4 different shades of food coloring
scissors

Now, take the stems of your roses and cut them to the desired length.
Next, carefully take your scissors and cut 3 inch long cross like incision at the bottom of the stem.
Then, put five drops of the same food coloring in each cup, to make four different colors.
After, take the four part stem and put one part of the stem in each cup-allowing the rose to rest above the four cups. The time to leave the rose varies from each batch, leave it until the petals have caught color.
The white rose will now absorb the water with food coloring, causing the petals to turn different colors!

Good luck!

**tip If you want to do more than one rose at a time, you can do so by carefully placing the roses with stems in all four cups and tying them with a string. Or use another set of four cups, it is up to you. Thank you for reading!
I have provided a tutorial pic just in case.

Good eats!

Good day readers. You guys know I am all about a good time for a few bucks, and there is a special at Cici's Pizza the whole month of March!
The special is $5 buffet all day every day. They have many thin and regular crust pizzas, you can even customize a pizza to your own liking!
If you are a pizza lover, then you will enjoy this trip-they have macaroni pizza, mexican pizza, philly cheese steak pizza, and so many more.
If you are feeling a little lighter, they also have yummy soups to choose from, it is usually chicken noodle and the daily soup.
They also have a whole side of fresh leaves (romaine, iceberg, spinach to name a few) along with all sorts of toppings to make your perfect salad. Again, this special is going on at Cici's Pizza. You can find more information on their website. Enjoy!

Farmer's Market Visit #2

Hola friends! So my next farmers market adventure was in the city of West Covina. There is an open farmers market at the end of north bound Glendora Ave.
This farmers market did not consists of fresh fruits and veggies, rather, it had a collection of everyday items such as hand made purses, hats, phone cases.
What made this visit pleasant, was the mini downtown West Covina area right along side the farmers' market.
The downtown had more to offer than the farmers' market to be honest, but overall it was a great experience. The weather was a bit over cast, but not too cold.
I would recommend this farmers' market if a shopper was looking for household items, not food.

Upcoming fiesta at local church!

Hello friends, I want to invite you to the annual Saint Martha Catholic Church's Cinco de Mayo Fiesta! The event takes place in the church parking lot, and is put on every year through the collaboration of all of the different ministries. It features a stage with live entertainment,  and rows of food, and rides for three days straight! This year, it will be held on the weekend of May 3, 4, & 5. The only thing however, is be prepared to possible get egged by your family! That's right, the fair will be selling confetti-filled eggs, to have fun with and throw at one's family. There is also an entire kiddy section by the water fountain for the little ones. One of my favorite activities of the fiesta is the weekend-long bingo game held in the parish hall. Make sure to come with an open mind and an empty stomach to enjoy some yummy food and drinks!
