Fabfitfun 2018 Fall Box

Published on August 28, 2018 by brittanyderenzisLeave a comment

It’s about that time again when the new Fabfitfun fall box comes out! And I was pretty excited about this one!

First off, the box itself is adorable! I may be biased, because fall is my favorite season. But, look at how cozy it is!

The 1st thing this box comes with is a Beauty Blender. This one is in a light pink color, not like their usual hot pink ones. This usually retails for $20

The second item I took out are two Glamglow bubble sheet masks! I’ve used some of Glamglow’s products before and have loved them so I’m sure this mask is amazing!

The retail price- $18

The third item is a Luna bar. Which comes with a coupon to order on Amazon.

The fourth item in this box is touch-in SOL Metallist Liquid Foil Lipstick Duo in “Penny”. I’m not a huge fan of metal or foil lipsticks but the color is pretty. So who knows, I might love it.

Retail price-$24.99

The fifth item is SKIN&CO Roma Blue in Capri Shower Gel. This is a multi purpose shower gel that smells so good!

Retail price- $22

The sixth item is another skin care item. GROWN ALCHEMIST POLISHING FACIAL EXFOLIANT: Pink Grapefruit & Glucomannan Extract and it helps exfoliate dry skin.

Retail price- $67! ( I’m way too cheap to buy this on its own)

The seventh item is a cute little tea pot by Alfred. I’m not a huge tea lover but I know Chris will definitely get some good use out of this one! Retail price – $26

The eighth thing is a grey and white towel by Simply Whimsical. I love any neutral shade and it seems to go great with my kitchen.

Retail price- $14.99

The ninth product is a Catherine Malandrino Umbrella. If you know me you know I either brake or lose every umbrella I own so hopefully this one lasts!

Retail price- $39.99

LAST but not least is the Vince Camuto Luck Tote ! It’s beautiful vegan leather bag and probably my favorite thing in this whole box!

Retail price- $128

Essential Ingredients For A Killer Date Night!

Published on May 30, 2017May 31, 2017 by brittanyderenzisLeave a comment

Step One: A cute town!

Chris and I love finding new little towns to walk around and take pictures. On this day we went to Tarrytown. They have so many cute shops and places to eat.

Step 2: FOOD!

Trying a new place to eat is always fun and an easy way to enjoy the nice weather.

We deicided to try Sweetgrass Grill which had vegan options as well!

We started with Italian Bread and a White Bean Dip with olive oil and garlic.

For an appetizer, we had the Housemade Hummus

Quick Outfit post:

When I’m lost and I have no idea what to wear I always go with all black and cute shoes. It’s super fast and simple and you can always add a bright lipstick, bag or even shoe to add something to the outfit to make it pop!

Step 3: SWEETS ❤

The last step to this date was ice cream because how do you go out in nice weather and not have one!!

What is your favorite kind of date?

xoxo

Sur La Table Cooking Class With The BF

Published on May 23, 2017May 23, 2017 by brittanyderenzisLeave a comment

Chris has always loved cooking so when it came to picking out a gift for him I thought taking a cooking class would be super fun.

I booked this class online at Sur La Table in the Ridge Hill shopping center. The class was about 2 hours and 30 mins long, which flies by once you start chopping away.

The first thing on our menu was

Tuna and Avocado Ceviche with Plantain Chips

Next was:

Roasted Corn Salad with Chile, Lime, and Cotija Cheese (which was my favorite!)

The main dish:

Char-Grilled Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Last was the dessert:

Mayan-Spiced Chocolate Pudding With Whipped Cream

Our Teacher Jessica Woodford was filled with information and eager to help us and she also made it fun, light and funny.

At the end of the class, your group (groups of 4) gets to eat everything you just made, which is probably the best part of the whole thing!

The whole experience was so fun, you get to meet new people and learn hands-on from a chef. Most importantly, you get to bond with whoever you go with. Chris and I had a great time laughing and working together to make a great meal. We’re already looking forward to more classes, maybe baking but that might be a disaster, haha!

Have you ever been to a cooking class?? What did you make?

KKW By Kylie Cosmetics Swatches/Haul

When I saw the ad for these new nude shades I almost died! In everyday life, I wear nudes way more than any other color and all of these shades are so pretty I can’t wait to do a makeup look with them!

This bundle is $45 with free shipping.

These shades are different from the other kylie lip kits they are more of a cream finish and not a long lasting matte.

Have you guys tried these yet??? If so what’s your favorite shade?

My Favorite Places To Eat In NYC During Spring!

Published on April 21, 2017April 21, 2017 by brittanyderenzisLeave a comment

Chris and I took a little trip to NYC to get some tasty treats and have a little date and I wanted to share it with you guys!

We stopped at Taiyaki first to get this adorable and delicious ice cream!

Location:

119 Baxter St
New York, NY 10013

b/t Canal St & Hester St
Little Italy, Chinatown

I got The classic which is vanilla, custard filling, strawberries, wafer, and chocolate drizzle because I’m basic hah. It was amazing, I think the best part is the wafer. It looks hard but its actually soft more like a pastry and man was it good!

Chris was more adventurous and got Straight Outta Japan which is matcha sesame swirl, red bean filling, machi and a wafer!

After ice cream, we walked around Soho and took some photos for my New York State Of Mind OOTD. When that was done we wanted to get some pizza like every New Yorker, hah!

Went to one of our favorite places, Artichoke Pizza!

Location: 114 10th Avenue
New York, NY
10011

We ordered 6 slices and shared them. The waiter thought it was way too much food, but we proved him wrong by only leaving crust at the end!

Slices we had:

Artichoke – Spinach & cream sauce, artichoke hearts, mozzarella & pecorino romano cheese

Margherita – Plum tomato sauce, olive oil, fresh basil & a blend of Italian cheeses

Vodka (Sicilian Style) – Vodka cream & tomato sauce, a blend of Italian cheeses (my FAV)

Meatball Parm – Homemade meatballs, mozzarella & reggiano cheese, cooked tomato sauce

Crab – Lobster Sauce, surimi crab meat & fresh mozzarella

White – Ricotta, fresh mozzarella, pecorino romano & reggiano cheese

What’s your favorite place to get pizza or ice cream? Comment and me know! ❤
