Bought this watch yesterday from my Amazon Shop.

image

$26.35, with shipping it’s about $33 dollars. Apparently the retail price is $119.00

It was an incredible deal for a timex 75 lap memory recall watch.

It’s also titanium.

I bought it because I need a watch to race with since you can’t run with your Garmin.

I’ll let you know how I like it! :D

Erios Ristorante and Phiten Necklace Review

0 footprints

review

Alex and I LOVE italian food. So when my birthday was getting closer, I started to think about where I wanted to go. I used the UrbanSpoon app on my phone to find some italian places nearby that I’ve never heard of before or know about. You know, some mom and pop shops!

IMG_8747

So I came across Erio’s Ristorante!! Read the reviews and thought it was the place I wanted to go.

Let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint.

 

Right when we get there we are seated and only two other groups of people are dining. (we ate a bit early at around 5)

erios inside

(picture from website)

It’s a very small restaurant but those are the best!

We ordered:

cheesy garlic bread
toasted ravioli
Alex ordered the cannelloni
I of course ordered the tortellini

I didn’t take many pictures of the meal because since it wasn’t very busy, I didn’t want to look odd haha.

The ravioli was handmade and delicious! probably some of the best I’ve had. The cheesy garlic bread was good but not as good as some that I have had!

Alex really liked his cannelloni and the tortellini was so good! The sauce was thick but not so rich and heavy. Very delicious and makes my top 3 list of tortellini so far!

The staff was pleasant and they always ALWAYS had our cups filled with water. We never had to ask for anything and they even asked to refill our bread multiple times!

I would love to go back when I am back in town for awhile.

I’ve gotten some questions about the Phiten necklace I received for my birthday.

Alex got it for me because he ordered his over a month ago and really likes it so he got me one as well.

I wanted one once I saw Kara rockin’ it and read her interview over at Phiten explaining her favorite Phiten products.

Kara and Paula Radcliff have been wearing phiten products for years.

image image

Apparently Paula introduced them to Kara. So of course I had to check it out for myself!!

You can read the article on Kara and Phiten products here

Taken from Phiten’s website here is some information on the technology behind Phiten

“Phiten products work with your body’s energy system, helping to regulate and balance the flow of energy throughout your body. Proper energy balance helps to alleviate discomfort, speed recovery, and counteract fatigue. Athletes find that they tire less easily and recover faster from intense physical activity. Further benefits of Phiten’s exclusive technology are more relaxed muscles leading to less stress and a greater range of motion that can be of great benefit to an athlete or anyone in any walk of life. At Phiten we are proud of our products and proud to increase the health and well being of the people that believe in our products.”

So I’ve been wearing mine and really like it, but I’d love to try some of their other products! Especially the bracelets and socks.

You can also find Phiten necklaces on Amazon and the tribal one I wear I have in my amazon shop here!

Recap and Blog News

2 footprints

Alright, sorry about the sporadic posting. I promise it’ll actually become a regular schedule once I get to school. I leave Wednesday so just trying to get things together!

Before I do a recap I want to share some things I have in store for the blog.

-Scheduled posts at scheduled times at least around the same time of day
-Updates when I find new products and add them to the shop. I love being able to share the products I use for you all to have the option to buy and the cheaper options at that! amazon definitely has some of the best deals. I’m not about making money from this, but the main reason is to share an easy way to buy the products I use and love! Letting you know when I add products saves you from going to my shop and checking or not having an idea when new products are available!
-More of an idea of my daily life and not just what I eat and run. might not be too detailed, but will be more like a “to do list”
-Post the questions you all ask me and my answers. I comment back to most questions, I try to answer all but sometimes I forget! So this way I can answer them back to you and in case others wanted to know the answer too, they can see without searching for my comment on the questioners blog!

 

Those are just a few things that will happen once I get to school. Sorry I haven’t commented on blogs very much.

If you have any other suggestions about making this blog better, let me know.

Sometimes I get a feeling it’s too cluttered or things like that!

Alright recap time!!!
