All meals under 475?!?!

Say what???? :)

Tonight I went to dinner with M to Seasons 52 in Schaumburg

It was an ALL around wonderful experience!

Our waiter Gil was absolutely fantastic

he was very thorough with explaining

Season 52's meal concepts 

which is the BEST part about this restaurant!

NOTHING on their menu is over 475 calories!!!

Everything is made FRESH, they also use natural cooking techniques

such as wood-fire grilling, brick-oven cooking and caramelizing vegetables to let the natural flavors shine

 and the full menu changes seasonally (4 times a year)

BUT new weekly & alternative meals are introduced every Tuesday :)

Here's what i ordered tonight

Goat cheese & artichoke flatbread for appetizer-375 cal

Caramelized Sea Scallops-375 calories

(I only ate 1/2 I'm saving the other for lunch tomorrow)

It's a really good size portion

and....I was saving room for this LOL

MINI dessert cups aka MINI indulgences :)

TOO many choices....

I went with the Mocha Macchiato

which was super delicious! It reminded me of a tiramisu actually

BUT it was a whopping 375 cal.

The highest cal amount in the mini indulgance option :)

{totally worth it}
 

If you have a Seasons 52 in your area

It's definitely worth a visit

I know I'll be back again for sure :)

Yikes!

Is it really already almost the end of March? Times been zooming pass me!

*I'm posting a quick mobile post ;) or I'll never get a post in here lol*
{a few iPhone pics to share}

Friday night I got some crafty time in @ my friend Kristas house ;) we crafted til 1am & I had work the next day! I have NO idea how I made it in to work on time on Saturday! I was pretty productive though ;) I made some mini cards for the shop ;)

Last Saturday I got a much needed hair makeover!!! Color & cut! I got bangs!!!
Let's see how long I can maintain it lol

& this morning I don't even know how I stumbled upon it...Actually I remember someone in my Etsy circle posted a "favorites" and it was a picture of some nail art on Etsy....i swear u can find anything cute on Etsy!
So then I started googling & it brought me to some YouTube tutorials & I was so INSPIRED that I just had to try it out & I painted my nails ;) (1.5 hours later)
A pic of the outcome!
Pretty good if I must say so myself ;)

I hope you guys had a great weekend! ;)
