One of our free appetizers! On Friday, I went to Columbus Ohio to see the Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Blue Jackets. I went on a bus with my aunt and uncle, along with my uncle's nephew. We left at 12:00 and arrived at Easton Town Center at 3:30ish. Easton Town Center is absolutely incredible! It is an outdoor shopping center with over 150 stores and 35 restaurants. After spending a very short time there, I already want to go back and shop until I drop! We ate at a restaurant called Bar Louie. Our tour guide had given us a coupon book and Bar Louie had a coupon for a free appetizer with the purchase on an entree. So, we showed our waitress the coupons and she said that we could do it! Win! So we ended up getting 4 appetizers that totaled around $50. My buffalo chicken flat bread was half off for Happy Hour, so my bill only came to $5.50. So, it was a cheap dinner stop. The view from the seats!  Next, it was time to head to Nationwide Arena. Our seats were up high, ...

I feel like it has been all beauty on the blog this week. So let's talk sports shall we? (I'm still going to throw some beauty in ok?) I'm wearing Evgeni Malkin's #71! Hockey playoffs are well under way. Everyone wants to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup. Myself, I'm a Penguins fan, and we take our hockey VERY seriously! There is something about hockey that is just fun to watch. I can't describe it, and although it is fun to watch on TV, nothing beats watching a game in person. So let's say you get invited to a hockey party, or better yet the game!! Ladies, there is no reason why you can't look cute while wearing a hockey jersey! As you can see from my picture, I put my hair in a cute top knot (or sock bun) and accessorized with a plain black headband. I put in some cute hoop earrings and a bold lip color.
