Yummy Mexican and Another Giveaway!

Good morning! It's my favorite time of the weekend: Saturday morning :)

So, you know how I decided I like Mexican food while I was in Arizona? Eric and I tried some Massachusetts Mexican last night at Ixtapa Mexican. I guess it's technically a chain, since there are 4 locations around here, but I'm not against chains. It's definitely a casual feel and the location we visited was basically in a small business plaza. We went at about 6:30 and the place was totally filled with kids, but since I was no where near work I didn't care at all :)

They did have some Mexican decorations around to set the tone:

And, the most important thing about any Mexican restaurant...

chips and salsa
AND
margaritas...

This one received the Eric stamp of approval. And it was served in the cactus glass that Eric tried to buy off the waitress in Arizona haha.

I ordered my Mexican favorite: chicken fajitas...

I make myself small wraps of chicken, rice, a small amount of beans and a small amount of guac. So yummy. Or should I say delicioso. 9 years of Spanish class and thats about all I can say! If only I didn't eat so many chips this would be a pretty healthy meal :)

This morning I went to spin class and tried out my new headbands from Violet Love . After I told Violet Love owner Rebecca about my headband breaking in the middle of my 5k (and I had to hold it because I didn't want to just throw a headband on the ground haha), she offered to send me some of her SHE headbands for working out. They are made out of that wicking fabric we all know and love and they are cute too. I wore the gray version to spin this morning...

Okay so it would've been cute if it wasn't so clear that I JUST woke up 5 minutes before the picture was taken. Oh well :) I also got another cute one which has some pink on it, so of course I love it.

So after an intense spin class, what did I think? Amazing. Not only was there no chance of this breaking any time soon, it also did not slide around at ALL, even with me taking off and putting on my sweatshirt before and after class. I am not even sure how that's possible since my old headbands (the ones that broke) used to have those small bumps to keep them from sliding and Violet Love headbands are smooth and soft.

Also, does anyone else get headaches from headbands that are too tight? Cuz I do...no headache from this at all, it fits really comfortably and not too tight at all. I've been wearing it for at least 4 hours now with no sign of getting a headache any time soon.

Basically in a nutshell you want to try these headbands. If for some reason you aren't a big work out person (or don't wear headbands while working out), check out the website anyway because she sells headbands for every day use, as well as tights AND they make tons of kids products as well. My favorite are definitely the matching tights and headbands...I'm thinking I could totally fit into an extra large, right?

So...anyone feel like WINNING some headbands?
