Villa Italiana - Mansfield TX

If you like to have a pizza night with your family...or a night out to eat with your family....this is a great place to go and very affordable even for a family of 4! They are currently running a special - $18.99 for a large pizza and 4 small spaghetti's. That's A LOT of food for $20.00!

This is the first time I have ever tried this place and it was delicious! Great deal and great food! They use good ingredients...and the pasta was cooked perfectly (which can be hard to find in resteraunts) I love being able to have a night out (or in) with my family and it not breaking my pocket book!

If you live in the Mansfield, TX area or close by....go check it out:-)

New Facial Cleanser

So...I have always used the more pricey facial cleanser...you get what you pay for right? Well....after doing some research...that isn't always true:-)

I found that the Cetaphil face cleanser and daily SPF face lotion is very affordable and rated one of the best cleansers out there. It was created my dermatologist and is very gentle on the skin...unlike a lot of other products:-)

I started using it last night...and my face feels great so far. I think it might be time for me to say goodbye to Mary Kay and Clinique....can't afford that stuff anymore:-(

If you are looking for something new...and affordable...try it!

Aberzombi & Witch

Thomas and his friend Chey want to start a band called Aberzombi & Witch. They are best friends and both share the passion of music. They asked me to take some pics of them for their album cover:-) We headed out to Deep Ellum, which is a great place for pics....and ended up getting some super cute shots. They are adorable!!!
