Phil's Fish Market

Thursday, June 6, 2013

One of my favorite places to visit when I go to the coast is Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing. I can't really describe the euphoria I feel when I walk into Phil's but it's just this little kid before Disney excitement.

My boyfriend's family introduced me to this place on a visit to the coast when we started dating and now we try to make a trip at least once or twice a year for their phenomenal seafood Cioppino (which was actually featured on that one show with Bobby Flay where he tries to make his own better version and of course typically loses out to the hometown favorites).

All of their food is pretty amazing and if the Cioppino weren't so good I'd gladly swap for some fish and chips, but it is, so I don't.






(**As a random side note if you decide to visit Phil's bring an appetite because the portions are large. My boyfriend and I can usually split a 20$ cioppino that comes with salad and garlic bread and feel totally satisfied. You can swap out items if you're not a fan of mussels or scallops or something and replace it with more shrimp or crab which is awesome)





"This is not a fashion show, this is Phil's" - My boyfriend Jon regarding this lovely photo below:



And here's a lonely cup of clam chowder because it's actually really good and we pretty much always get a cup because more than that would be way too much combined with that giant seafood bowl of Cioppino (You can't not get the chowder, I'm pretty sure it's sacrilegious). 




What is your favorite getaway indulgence? 

Cheers!

Smart Lash: Day 45

Sunday, April 7, 2013

About a month or so I bought a product from dermstore.com called Smart Lash, which claims to lengthen and thicken your lashes within 60 days without a prescription (like Latisse)

Originally I was super super stoked to try this hoping it would be a miracle worker, but I sit here on day 45 feeling large amounts of disappointment. (I know, I still have a few more days!)

Though my lashes aren't any longer, they are certainly thicker, and with the addition of mascara they definitely appear fuller and longer than before.

I don't know if I would continue to pay 125$ for this product (I got lucky and scored a "deal" from the website dermstore.com and paid only like $30) because I'm pretty positive you can get a prescription for Latisse for like the same price, and that literally has insane results.

But if you have sparse lashes it might be something to try if you can swoop that introductory offer.

**(Also some things to consider is that around the same time I started taking the supplement Biotin & Cod Liver Oil, so maybe that has also influenced my lashes too.)
