First Fridays

If you're looking for something to do, low on the funds, and it happens to be the first friday of the month, then.... then you should go to the Phoenix Art Museum for free! It's in the evening and makes a fun little date. Sometimes there's bands playing and theres some good restaurants close by too. :-)

this was someones art creation?...it was in a pitch black room with these little lights everywhere. you could walk through it and it was like being in space! i had to get out because i was walking into the walls. haha
fun modern art

brandon liked this one... what is it?

Tucson

A few weekends ago Brandon and I we used one of his birthday gifts I got him. We went to Tucson to see Fun playing at Hotel Congress. Fun is a band made up of 3 guys (plus 1 backup girl) from some of our other favorite bands, so as you can imagine they are amazing!! Sadly, one of the best bands ever, The Format, broke up last year and so its exciting that the lead singer Nate is continuing on with this band. They are a lot more instrumental and just have a lot of fun (hence the name?). It was also a great show because they played a lot of old Format songs, which brought back fond memories :-( tear tear. Well, here's some pictures of our mini trip. Unfortunately there wasn't anything too exciting in Tucson, but we found some yummy restaurants!

view from hotel, not too shabby!

you can see the St. Augustine Cathedral

i was searching in here for things to do

Dinner at Cafe Poca Cosa. Soooo good! This was Pollo Mole Amarillo. This place is fun because they change the menu every day (its all written on the chalk board)

Homemade Beauty!

Since I don't work today, school is fortunetly out of the question, and the apartment is all cleaned up, I decided I should do a home spa treament :-) I haven't done this in awhile, but used to all the time when I was little. Call me wierd, but I loved making concoctions of bananas, honey, eggs, yogurt, cucumbers, you name it, as facials! Besides nutrition, there are other great benefits to foods (even cholesterol artety clogging egg yolks!) So next time your recipe just call for egg whites, use the left over yolks for your beauty :-) I took a goofy picture of myself with it in my hair, so then I decided I'll just blog about it. Here yah go...
