Do the Halloween Crawl.

Woah. This weekend is a blur!
It went by too fast!
But I had a great time celebrating Halloween
with my friends.

It started with a flash mob at work.
We nailed it.
Somehow we didn't win.
So we took our sorry, losing butts out
for drinks. Lindsay's friend was throwing
a party so we crashed.
We danced our butts off. But we decided
to call it an early night since we all had
plans for Saturday. Mine included a full day of
pub crawling. Ouch.

I had very little time to recover before we turned
around and did it again! This time me and Maggie
really took our costume to the next level.
We are supposed to be the female version of
LMFAO. Mostly we got a lot of laughs and we
shuffled around town as much as our feet
allowed.

I got sleepy after awhile and just rested
on my fro. That thing came in handy!

It was a great weekend. The pub crawl was
kind of a bit much but it turned out alright.
We finished the night with mexi food
before heading home. I think I was asleep by
9pm. I'm not joking.

Tomorrow is really Halloween.
But my celebrating is over.
Today was back to reality.

I started my Sunday Fun day with this free book I
received in the mail courtesy of
It's a really great book. Lots of style tips
based on your body type, item of clothing and
season. You can pick it up at the bookstore for $29.95.
Or you can borrow mine!

For dinner I made a Mexican pizza.
I figured beer wasn't the best dinner choice
so I decided to eat some realfood. It was tasty!
I used 2 tortillas and layered in some goodies.
On the first tortilla I just put black beans.
I bought TJ's cuban style because they're already
seasoned. Then I placed another tortilla on top.
More beans, sliced red pepper and cheese.
I baked it for 15 minutes at 350.

This is the part where I ran to the store for avocado.
I made the rookie mistake of cutting mine which wasn't
ripe. I needed avocado. So I got it.
And I didn't burn the house down while I left.
I put mine on top of lettuce and paired it
with some sour cream. I love, love, love all
mexican cuisine.

Now it's back to reality. Already!

Who likes free stuff?

Birthday celebration are for reals over now.
Last night was the last of the shenanigans.

Emily hosted a pre-gathering at her place.
It was fab per usual. Full of drinks and
tasty food. We had a blast there and
then headed to the Burren. It was a fun night.

Me and Laurel cut our cake together.
I fed her.

My shirt was kind of blinding.

Today I am laying low. Getting lots of rest.

I promised a post on good deals and freebies.
We all know about groupon, living social etc.
But there are so many more out there!
So here are a few of my favs that I use.

I'm really new to BzzAgent. But the idea is great.
They recognize that the best marketing is
word of mouth from the consumer. You take
surveys and sometimes they send you a
product to test out. Then you review it.
Super simple and really cool.

I use e-rewards a lot! You take surveys
and you get rewards. That simple. They have
lots of different rewards and levels. I like to
get the express gift card so I can get free clothes.
But they have airline miles, blockbuster cards and more.
Sign up and get rewarded!

Birch Box! I had heard about this a few times but became
more interested after my friend, Lindsay, talked about.
$10 a month and they send you minis of different
products. $10! That's it! This way you can try something
that is normally super pricey to see if you like it first.

I love going out to eat. My bank account does not.
I'm sure most of you know about restaurant.com. But
in case you don't, now you do. It's pretty simple. They offer
a deal on a coupon. You purchase it and follow the rules at
the restaurant. Easy and awesome. Restaurant week doesn't
come around enough in Boston. This helps ease that
problem.

I'll keep coming up with the cool ideas. Let me know if
you have any suggestions.
