Valentines Gifts For Her

Valentines Day is only a short week away! I can’t believe how fast the month of January went considering I feel like I just celebrated Christmas yesterday! Time really has been flying by and I wish it would slow down!

Although Valentines Day is not a huge holiday and isn’t celebrated by everyone I find it so much fun! Pinks, reds, and purples are also a good color combination as well as some fresh flowers and delicious chocolate hearts. Even if you don’t have a significant other to celebrate the holiday with it is always important to show your friends and family how much you appreciate and love them!

I love giving cute and simple gifts to my girlfriends. Last year I even went to CVS and purchased the Valentine Day cards you used to give out to your classmates. It was a trip down memory lane and all of my friends thought it was super adorable.

Here are some easy purchases you can make for your girlfriends!

DC Restaurant Week: Two Amys

Hi everyone! This past weekend I experience my second DC restaurant week. For all of you that are unfamiliar with restaurant week, it is a weeklong event that restaurants around DC participate in and give amazing discounted deals to customers. Customers will choose a restaurant, pay a set price, and enjoy a three-course meal. I love restaurant week because I get to go to some really great restaurants that have delicious cuisine for such an amazing price. This year it was hard to choose which restaurant I wanted to go to! I wish I could go to all, but unfortunately my schedule (and my diet) did not permit.This year I decided to check out a well-known Neapolitan pizza place! Two Amys pizza is an authentic Neapolitan brick oven pizza restaurant including some classic Italian dishes as well. Part of restaurant week, the customer gets to choose an appetizer, a pizza, and a dessert. It is such a great deal!

For my appetizer I decided on the Italian rice balls. I loved these rice balls because they were so crispy and when you bit into them they buffalo mozzarella was melted and gooey aka perfection!

  

I decided to get a meaty pizza called the Norcia. This pizza includes lots of salami, buffalo mozzarella, peppers, and grana. The pizza toppings were a delicious combo. I loved the toasted crust, which gave the pizza a little bit of a crunch!

To wrap up the meal I decided on a treat that no one could resist! The cannoli! Cannoli’s have always been one of my absolute favorite desserts. This cannoli was divine and I could have eaten twenty.

Until next year DC restaurant week!

Cheers,
