happy friday! and "discovery of the week"! and catching up from nyc...all rolled into 1

hello, blog buddies!

i hope you've had a fabulous week and are ready to enjoy a wonderful weekend =)

our trip to nyc was wonderful wonderful and i will be sure to do a post soon complete with pictures. i did a whole album of them already on facebook, so stalk away!

my discovery of the week is a magical place called "max brenner's".
i don't even know where to start with the description so i'll just start fumbling my way through while drooling at the thought.

max brenner is creating a chocolate culture and all you really need to do to be a part of it is love chocolate. and i mean love. everything on the menu is made with chocolate and the designs of the restaurants reflect chocolate everywhere.
there are max brenner locations in nyc, philly, israel, the philippines, singapore and australia.

check them out here: http://www.maxbrenner.com/

we went and had the most wonderful breakfast that i think i've had to date. i had a peanut butter-banana-hazelnut-toffee-chocolate syrup crepe. with caramel on the side. and a toffee mocha to drink.
needless to say, i was wired and had an awful sugar crash that was worth every bit of the exhaustion.

we ate our way through that city and brenner's was definitely a highlight! the next time you go to nyc, stop by for the max brenner's experience. and overnight me one of those crepes.

i am a sucker for advertising.

yes, i know, i work in marketing and should be immune to that sort of thing.

unfortunately, this is far from the case.

thus, we have our "discovery of the week":

scrubbing bubbles shower cleaner.

i'd been watching the commercials and trying to tune out the magical animated brushes surrounded by the fun-and-fluffy soap suds but to no avail. suds-1. kate-0.

come on! how could you say no to those determined eyebrows ??

i was in desperate need of cleaning my shower and the thought of those tiny little bubbles going to work on my soap scum was totally appealing. it became target purchase #28 of the week.

i tried it last night and...

i was not disappointed! quite pleased, actually.you spray it on and it foams up on top of the scum to break it down and you just wipe it away. no elbow grease needed. it's a winner.

and that, my friends, is your discovery of the week.

happy friday!

discovery of the week

so i've decided that i'm going to start doing a "discovery of the week" where i share something i've recently stumbled upon that i find fantastic.

this week's discovery is Healthy Choice Caramel Icecream Sandwiches. not only are they delish, they are only 150 calories and totally fulfill the need for a little something sweet. they're actually bigger than the normal icecream sandwich (important factoid for those of us who can sympathize with a fat cake-lovin kid).

discover it!
