A Few New Favorites

If you know Ike and me at all, you know that we LOVE to try out new restaurants, bakeries, and eateries. I don't think he really loves it, but I do so he plays along ;) I have a couple shout outs for places that we have been to that were awesome!

Gourmandise Bakery:

3rd W in SLC :) Ike and I went to this little bakery this past Monday for his birthday. WOW. It's incredible! If you like desserts, at ALL, you will love it too! They have everything!! We had baklava(my fave), tiramisu, and cocunut macaroons! Each are made fresh daily and are beautiful. They also are one of the Groupons right now!!

Roll-up Crepes:

Also delicious, and close!! They are on State St. in Orem, right by Miracle Bowl. They have sweet and savory crepes and are soooo yummy! They will also be open 24 hours during the school season. YAY!

Check 'em out! Let me know your sweet finds too!

Some new things :)

Summer is underway!! And let me tell you...I am loving it :) Although...I only have one day to lay out, when in previous years, I did all day! It's ok though-less cancer right?! Ha.

Over the last couple of months, I was made a supervisor in Data Entry at Vivint. I love this place :) They truly treat their employees so well, and it has the best atmosphere. I now manage a team of about 35 and love it. It is so rewarding to see how coaching and encouragement really do help people in the workplace become more efficient and productive at their jobs.

Ike, is now working in Licensing, which he likes a LOT better. They are really lax over there, and he have to do nearly as much work ;) He was one of the best in Data Entry, and we like to move good people to other departments when the time comes. I'm sad he doesn't work right by me anymore, but he's still at Vivint, which is great :)

We have been looking at buying a house. Not a huge enormous one, just a little baby one. Probably, a townhouse. We really want a place of our own and something that we can earn equity in. So we are currently looking and saving money!! If you hear of anything awesome that we should look into...let us know!

Life is great and we are really enjoying our summer, even though all we seem to do is work! It's good though :)

No more Nailbiting!!

So...yesterday for the birthday, the greatest hubby ever treated me to a fabulous day :) First, I slept in til about 9, which is rare these days. Then we went and got my driver's license renewed-finnnnnally. This was followed by a delicious lunch at Joy Luck(Soo good. If you haven't been there, you need to go. This is only if you love the BEST quality that Chinese food has to offer.)We then hit up Mid City Salon. You can find there salon here.
This salon is SO cute! I had no idea what to expect. I was overly-welcomed and the girls were adorable and so fabulous. The salon is super cute, they use metal bowls so you won't get toe fungus, and they do such an amazing job! They do monthly passes now as well, so you can get a pedicure every month for $20. Yep, pretty sweet.
This pic above is what I got put on my nails. Yes, SHELLLAC :) This little miracle is hopefully going to cure me of my horrible nail-biting habit! I used to get acrylic nails all the time, which would always break off and end up destroying my nails. This salon does shellac. If you don't know what this is..let me tell you ;) It is just like get a beautiful manicure that you would normally have. *Except* it has the same gel that is used in gel nails in it, so they cure it with a UV dryer. This means it will never chip, peel, or allow me to bite it off. The only way to remove it is to soak it in acetone. Can you say best nail polish ever?! So, this hue "Rosebud" is now being sported on my nails. I even tried on my littlest nail to bit it off and I couldn't! This is a miracle.
One more final today and we are off to Vegas! Stay tuned for some pics!!
