City Creek

Last month while we were up in Northern Utah for our twin nephew's baby blessings (wish I had pictures to share) we also got to visit City Creek!  Seriously amazing!  It really made me wish it had been there when I had lived up there.  Especially when I worked downtown at Zions Bank.  I would have loved to be able to walk around it on my lunch breaks.  But no, back then I just tried to avoid the construction of what would one day be City Creek.

We first ate lunch at the Blue Lemon, which I thought was delicious!  Then we perused the stores.  I told Dan he should buy me a present at Tiffany's, but that didn't happen.  Still fun to window shop!

Here are my few photos of City Creek.  As you can see the place is filled with awesome water features.

Aside from having to wear jackets in April, we truly enjoyed the outdoor mall.

My sister, Jannifer, was our tour guide.  She works downtown and has been there a lot.  I was grateful she showed us around, that place is huge!

We'll be back, City Creek!

I want.

The other day we were at the Bosch Store (i love this store, mostly for the delicious cafe inside) and i was browsing through the kitchen gadgets when i came across this....

Color coded cutting boards!  There is a separate chopping board for fruit/veggies, meat, fish & cooked food (which seems to be way more sanitary) all in this cute little case.  Plus the set I saw comes w/ knives that correspond w/ each color as well.  Amazing!  Cute and functional.  I want this.  I'm not sure i've ever wanted a kitchen gadget this much before.  Now i just have to decide if cutting boards are worth $65.... :) 

I also love...

Hmmm... what should my random post be about today?  I really thought I was going to go to work this morning.  I even got up early and got ready, which I think took all of my energy for the day.  So I had to find a sub and can I just tell you, it was kind of awkward!  I was calling people super early in the morning and I didn't have much of a voice.  I mean, it's one thing to lose your voice while talking on the phone to a friend, but it's much different when calling a complete stranger!  haha... needless to say, the last person I called and got out of bed, said he could sub for me.  Thank you stranger!   

So here I am still at home and what have I been thinking about today... Bath and Body Works!  Ever since I got their email showing off their new holiday fragrances I have been wanting to make a trip over there (I'm sure you can see how much I love the holidays).  My favorite products are the foamy soap and the wallflowers.  I got some for fall and I loved them, so I most definitely need to get some for winter.

And now, just for fun, I am going to put a poll on my wall.  I want you all to vote on which Bath & Body Works winter scent sounds the best to you (and who knows, I may even purchase the one with the highest # of votes)!  I love polls :). 

Enjoy!

I love Costco!

So I know there are some people out there who are way into Harry Potter... that is not us.  We like it though.  I have read some of the books and Dan likes the movies and of course we are planning on seeing the final movie this month (well the first half).  Now onto the real purpose of this post, the other day I was at Costco and I found all 6 movies in a set for only $33.  It seemed like a pretty good price and then I saw that it also came with 2 vouchers for tickets to see the 7th movie.  So 6 movies plus the price of 2 movie tickets all for $33?  Great deal!  So I got it.  I couldn't resist!  haha...  I brought it home and Dan has now decided we are going to watch all 6 movies before the 7th one comes out.  Thus far 2 down, 4 to go! 

All I'm saying is I love Costco and Harry Potter is pretty good too.  :)  But really, for those who love/like Harry Potter and would be interested in owning the movies, I suggest checking out Costco. 

And you may be wondering, why all the post lately?  Well... I've been home sick the past 4 days!  I don't have much else to do except sleep, watch tv and post random blog posts, oh and watch Harry Potter movies.  What I initially thought was the flu has turned into a weird cold and it seems like it is definitely taking its time.  There may definitely be more random blog posts these next couple of days.
