Our initial plans for Valentine’s Day dinner were on hold because I was feeling sick. However, at the last moment, I decided to suck it up and have a no-stress dinner with my guy. We decided to head to ARC Food & Libations for the second time, and it was great! It was dark, but […]

SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza (Orange, CA)
You may remember that I won $50 to SPIN! Pizza at the SoCal Social in October and in addition to the $10 they gave all of us attendees, I had a total of $60 to spend. Woo! How could I possibly spend this much on two people? Well, we decided to wait until we had at […]

Taco Maria (Orange, CA)
I was feeling under the weather, but we had plans with some friends to go to Taco Maria, so I collected myself as much as possible and we headed out to try a new restaurant! First of all, we were seated outside, so the lighting wasn’t the best. Excuse the photos, but as you can […]
