Recipes and Restaurant Noms

Tonight's dinner: 1 pot Thai Peanut Pasta; absolutely divine! Super flavorful and nice and filling as a vegetarian dish. Meat could easily be added; I think next time I will try it with shrimp. This was a huge hit and will likely become a staple dinner. 


I also wanted to share a favorite summer drink. No particular recipe; just a couple oz of Smirinoff Watermelon Vodka and a pink fruit juice. This raspberry lemonade is delicious, but it's also great with guava juice.


Now for my lunch and dessert from yesterday; Big Sur pizza from Pizza my heart in Santa Cruz, and a chocolate, Stawberry, and whipped cream covered funnel cake from the Boardwalk! The funnel cake was massive; luckily we split it between 3 people, lol.

Deal Alert: Clinique and Walmart

PSA: Great promo at Clinique: free Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliator Mini & cosmetics bag + free shipping. Use code BUFF. They also give you another free sample at checkout; so I got 4 items for $5.38 shipped!

I also recently signed up for Walmart's beauty box subscription. I have been interested in subscription boxes for a while now, but many of them are $$$ even though you save overall. For Walmart's beauty box you receive 4 boxes full of samples a year (spring, summer, fall, and winter) and you only pay $5 flat rate shipping 4 times a year; the samples themselves are free. $20 spread out over a year is pretty great for a bunch of products in my opinion! If you are interested, hurry and sign up; the summer beauty boxes are shipping out now!
