Gladstone's
My first time dining at this restaurant and i LOVE it!! The food was delicious. I was with my family and we all had separate checks. I had ordered a Calamari Calzone (the server kept recommending it so what the hey, I tried it)...and it was mouth watering. A glass of cold beer to wash it all down and dessert for the whole table was on me, White Chocolate Crème Brulee. I really can't wait for another occasion to bring my friends here, my mouth is watering as I type... need I say more? Yum Yum Yum!!

Yi_Liu Gladstones the restaurant in Malibu? I love that restaurant! Also love the tin foil animals they make out of your left-overs. Do they still do that?
luckysin YES THEY DO! They made my left overs into a swan :) it was so cool! I went to the one in Long Beach by the harbor.
saunieindiego There used to be one in Newport Beach that I used to frequent. The one in Malibu has a beautiful view. I did not know that there was one in LB will have to check it out next time I go to LA.
luckysin @heiditron The guy called it a "calamari steak" which was prepared like a Parmesan Chicken is the closest I can find a comparison and inside it was stuffed with shrimp, cheese and spinach. (yum) and a side of plain Italian noodles. :)
fnoo Yeah, when I think of pocket pizza, I think squid.
HoneyLub omg I dont think I would have wanted to try the calamari calzone but seems like it was good!

drpepper234 I just ordered this online right now so if any of you guys dont have one yet they are at sephora now go go get one.
erica_lim I swear by this palette. It's the best.

Crunchy Curls (Lentil & Potato snack)

Mmm Lentils?? That was a shocker, but is so delicious!!
· $2.69 credit card purchase
riddlefish Oooo! Are they semi good for you? (Or at least good enough that I can lie to myself a little?) ;D
luckysin lol it's actually really good to me! I have to stop myself from finishing the bag from one sitting :/
luckysin I wasn't sure if you were asking if they were healthy or delicious...LOL but to answer you question..both ;)
jacq yum. does it taste anything like papadums?
luckysin @jacq hm, I wish I could tell you but I've never tasted Papadums =(
jacq they're lentil crackers you get at indian restaurants. try em!
Rite Aid
SG Invisible Dry Shampoo

I love this dry shampoo! I have a can for my personal use and a can in my hair kit when working on models. It is a great product and only $8!! Seriously, I see drug store brands coming out with their "dry shampoo lines" and it is crappy if you ask me. To use: spray and comb through hair. Let me know if you are planning to try this out or have it already! I really do recommend this! I purchased mine at Rite Aid :)

CHA FOR TEA
This is a 'Tea Bar & Restaurant'. One of my all time FAVORITE Tea and Boba place. If you aren't familiar with what 'boba' is it is the same thing as tapioca pearls (the black jelly balls placed in mixed drinks like thai tea, etc). They are only a few locations in the So Cal area. My two favorite drinks are Almond Black Milk Tea and Mango Green Tea...omg so good. I pair the drink with a snack, Crispy Chicken. You can't go wrong with this couple. This place also has free wifi and a lot of college students are here hanging out and studying.

lesayoh the gorditas are the best. chalupa is number two in my libro
bestfriend I can't believe they got rid of the Cheesy Double Beef Burrito ;-(
beverlynoelle @bestfriend Wait...what? NOOOOOOOOOOO
ccherries @bestfriend my new favorite is the D4, to compensate for the loss of the cheesy double beef burrito
luckysin I've never had a gordita, but now that you mention it i'll try it next time!
Orabrush Inc
Orabrush (tongue scraper) "The Most Effective Cure for Bad Breath"

I know, sounds funny right, but it's actually pretty cool. I have heard about this 'Orabrush' from some fellow youtubers so I decided to check out. Plus, I've been looking a good tongue brush/scraper anyways because sometimes just brushing your tongue after brushing your teeth just doesn't feel good enough. I had a discount promo and purchased 4 of these babies for only $13 with free shipping and used them as STOCKING STUFFERS! lol my family and friends were at first offended that I got them this but after using it ...later thanked me =) Even if your breath does not smell (uh huh) your tongue simply feels cleaner after gently brushing/scraping the gunk off that we normally can't get off with just a toothbrush.

is anyone going to try this? let me know! :)

Yogurtland
Red Velvet Frozen Yogurt ... a quick snack before the movies, this has got to be my cheapest cup I've gotten from Yogurtland.
· $1.60 credit card purchase
girlfriday Cheap indeed!
lesayoh what is this red velvet i see everywhere?
is that a company? a movement? i so confused
pd2care lesayoh, it's a flavor. Started off as Red Velvet cake. It's from the South, originally, I think. That's the only place I'd ever seen, or heard about it, until recently.
riddlefish Lol @lesayoh You don't know what red velvet cake is?? You'd better get on that. ;p
@kynamay Yum! What sorts of toppings are good in the red velvet frozen yogurt?
luckysin @riddlefish LOL yes everyone needs to hop on the Red Velvet train!! haha. good question, I didn't overload it with toppings b/c i didn't want to over power the beautiful red velvet taste so i believe i had some Nutter Butter (my fav), holiday white choco pretzels they had, and just a tad bit of crushed Oreo cookies ...just a little of each hence why my cup was so cheap haha.

HoneyLub I find that assessing yourself is really the only way to dig inside your brain! im all for that, ive learned to realize who i really am by reading articles and things that are psychological. We'z got Brainz!
luckysin i'm sorry, i ment to tell you more about this! hmm, i wish i remembered, but i think i fell into like the "artistic" category.. which was funny to me. there was so much more to this, wish i could tell you more! lol
HoneyLub lol its coo girl! Really? the artistic category huh! its all good, maybe i'll get it and chk it out! Im a nerd like that haha!
luckysin haha! girl, we're in the same boat!
HoneyLub Its funny, I went to Half Price books with my co worker friend today- and i found a book on Cleopatra, "The last Queen of Egypt" it actually intrigued me. Ive been wanting to read a good book thats about empowering women, and she was like "Only you" lol I just love exploring... what good is it to read things of subjects you know?!
Walmart
Burt's Bees Deep Cleansing Cream

I have been looking for cream cleansers (for my personal use) that do not contain the ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (aka detergent) for so long!! This cleanser clearly states that is is S.L.S free on the back which is awesome. I have been using this every morning and night ever since I got it and I have to say I do like it so far. I use about a quarter size and massage it onto my face then rinse. I also purchased Burt's Bees Deep Pore Scrub..which I like as well.

· $17.48 credit card purchase
HoneyLub Yeah talk about taking washing your face literal! DETERGENT?! Ive been scouting around for a product thats not harsh on my sensitive skin, this sounds good too for combo/oily skin!
luckysin @BOBEL i realize that the zoom feature is only on the images i upload myself instead of "searching" through blippy.
luckysin @HoneyLub Yes it is good..if you do try it or any cream cleansers for that fact...do not wet your face prior to applying the product because you want the oils (which is good) in the product to cleanse the oil and dirt on your skin. If your face is wet with water the product will simply not cleanse because oil and water do not mix. :) something i learned from my teacher. so avoid oil-free facial cleansing products...you need the oil.
HoneyLub That makes so much sense!? WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT LOL! Yeah, you can fry food on my face. I will definitely try that. THanks!
HoneyLub lol!! Sounds yummy when ingested by accident! I have the Burtsbee's lip gloss thats been my lip saver for the winter thats for sure! its tingly and was in a pack of 6 different colors. It actually was a tinted moisturizer set. a MUST in the winter time!
bestfriend Burts is the best stuff
Whole Foods
Hemp Milk

I'm trying to jump on the healthy ahem band wagon here as much as I can .. lol not completely but taking baby steps. I recently started drinking Hemp Milk (non-dairy). It is a natural source of Omega 3&6 and other goodies. They have it in the flavors Original, Vanilla and Chocolate. I bought all three but only tasted Original and Vanilla... it is quite tasty. It does not taste like milk.. it has a kick to it, a little more on the nutty side (Vanilla). Original is good too. A carton only has 32 fl. oz. which is less than a gallon of milk and just a tad bit pricey but much healthier. This lady I met there bought a whole cart full...says she feeds her kids this. She mixes Original and Chocolate so the hemp taste isn't too strong. Tell me if you have tried or want to try hemp milk!

ps. I find that different brands taste diff. for some reason b/c the first time I tried Hemp milk (last year) I got the Living Harvest brand and it was nasty!! This time I got the Pacific brand and it's yummy!

girlfriday Oh, yeah, the brands of any type of these milks - soy, rice, oat, whatever - vary IMMENSELY. Hemp is the one I haven't tried but Pacific is my favorite brand of soy so I'm not surprised they did a good job.

Target
The Vampire Diaries Complete Season 1 DVD

I have never seen one episode of this show before and all my friends keep telling me to watch it so I bought it from Target on Black Friday for $13 USD. I started watching this Saturday night and finished the whole season on Monday ... OMG it is sooooo good. Now I know why everyone is obsessed with this show! I definitely recommend everyone to watch at least one episode :) Let me know if you watch this show religiously, just sometimes, what you think of it or if you now want to watch it!

xoxo
· credit card purchase · awesome (2) · funny · informative · omgwtf
riddlefish There are just too many gorgeous people on that show, haha. In all honesty, that's why I started watching it. ;p
luckysin yes gorgeous indeed! don't remind me... i will start dreaming about Damon hehe (;
luckysin hot girls hot guys .. the typical mortal female falls in love with a guy she yet to know is a blood sucker .. but don't confuse this for Twilight ... it is far from that. It is better! there is an actual story behind this show with mystery, love, drugs, drinking, sex...the suspense will keep you on your toes.

you can go on the CW.com or w/e site and check out a current episode to see if you like it or not .. though i hear that Season 1 is better than Season 2(the current)
HoneyLub ive never seen this? I think I will need to take a peek at an episode or two lol, definitely sounds interesting. Ive been a vampire movie/show fan WAAY before Twilight!
CTFxCTard i love this show i missed the new one that was on thursday
In N Out Burger
Gotta LOVE In-N-Out!!! My usual is the Double-Double with Grilled Onions, fries and a drink of course. I recently found out that I can order my fries "well-done" so they are all crispy ... like the few crispy pieces you search for in the bottom of the bag, am I right? ^_^ yummy in my tummy
