I’m not sure why the photos email from my BlackBerry Bold in such awful quality – Any tips?
This week we were watching one of our favorite networks, the Cooking Channel, when we caught an episode of Foodography on food carts. Assuming (correctly) that Portland would be showcased, we recorded the episode as we began watching. Brunch Box was the first local food truck featured on the show and it caught Donny’s attention. As he began following them on Twitter, they tweeted that they would give a free burger to the first person to post video of their segment online. Donny diligently filmed the spot with his MyTouch smart phone and was the first to upload it.
We visited Brunch Box this morning and chose the OMG! Breakfast Sandwich as our free burger/sandwich. The sandwich contains egg, ham, Spam♥, bacon, and American cheese, and I wish I had another one right now. I highly recommend food carts in general, and the OMG! Sandwich is a great, filling deal at just $5. (They also offer an OMG! Burger with either Angus beef or turkey.) They seemed to be one of the only carts open and serving at 9am (They open at 8 on weekdays) and were super friendly. Breakfast and lunch are both served all day.
The burger showcased in the Brunch Box Foodography spot was the YouCanHasCheeseburger, a burger with two Texas toast grilled cheese sandwiches in place of buns. No surprise this epic cheeseburger made it onto TV.
Bikini Kitchen Booty Butter sells for $27.95 (USD)
I was happy to receive a sample of Bikini Kitchen Booty Butter to review this summer. Being knocked up, I’m a lot more aware of what I put on my body and, unfortunately, most commercial tanning products have a high toxin rating. I love that Bikini Kitchen discloses their ingredients, and this natural product felt great even on my sensitive pregnant skin. Booty Butter contains coffee, which softens skin and improves circulation, as well as vitamins A, C and E.
I’m not sure how much this product actually accelerated my tan, but it did provide a slight shimmer upon application and felt decadent. The only downside was that while I love the scent of most tanning products, this one smelled a bit funky to me – Then again, I do love that it doesn’t contain artificial fragrances, and my nose is admittedly sensitive right now. I hardly ever deal with bug bites but the Booty Butter potion also claims to be a natural bug repellent.
Overall, I recommend Bikini Kitchen Booty Butter as an alternative to chemical tanning products, especially if you invest the time in sprawling out poolside.
