BEAUTY-FULL GIRLS GIVEAWAY: $50 to Fleming's Steak House

*Winner of the $50 to Fleming's is Erinn from Strawberry Swings and Things.*

Let me tell you a few things about me. I like to eat, and I like to eat out. But I'm also sort of vain and I like to stay slim. So when Fleming's asked me pay them visit and show how Beauty-Full girls survive a steak house experience, I was up for the challenge. Because you know what? I'm the kind of girl who, out of habit, orders a salad at a steak house. "Just a salad? Just a salad? Just a salad?"

I decided this trip out was going to be interesting for me, because I was determined not to order just a salad. However, the cobb salad with Lobster and vinaigrette was pretty tempting! I took my mom along with me, who also likes to eat and watches her figure.

I started my night out with a Russian Prom Queen, because the name sold me on the spot, and the blueberries & vodka sounded like a nice way to begin my night. And for 99 calories, it was right on point with my beauty-full plan. My Mom went with wine, she's classy like that.

I was off to a good start, only 99 calories and a small buzz going. I treated myself to a small piece of bread with flavored butter because, well, I was hungry. Deciding on what to order was a not easy, but surprisingly there were many options. Now, if I were a meat eater, which I'm not, I could have ordered the petite Mignon and there was a fabulous chicken breast option as well. Instead we took the seafood route.

We selected two seafood courses (the sole and the scallops) to share. We also picked two side dishes (the carrots and the green beans) to compliment our main courses. It turned out beauty-fully.
We made to sure to save room because the dessert menu was very tempting. We ordered a berry creme brulee, it was a heck of a night.

If you would like to win $50 to Fleming's (perfect for their 5 for 6 till & happy hour) leave a comment and contact information (blog link or email). And tell me who you would take to Fleming's and how you would keep your steak house trip beauty-full.*

A winner will be announced and or contacted Monday August 22nd.

*You must be a follower of Amber's Notebook via Google Friend Connect, Twitter or Facebook to qualify.

Things I Love: Sandals, Sunnies and Giveaway Winners!

Being home in the morning is not something I get to do often so today I took full advantage of being home during the morning sample sales! I always cringe when I see the amazing prices and pieces that I miss at Gilt and Haute look. Well I lucked out today because one of my favorite brands Joie, had a sale going on today on Gilt and I snagged a few pairs of Joie shoes, hopefully some of them workout. I also snagged a really cool VPL bra, I have a new theory on bra's that I should address one of these days, especially after Lynn's question today. All in all I was stoked to finally be able to join in on the sample sales that I get emails about daily! LOL
Other perks of the day included being spoiled by Casey not only did he make me breakfast and lunch (a stretch for a non cook like him) he also gave me a sweet pair of Tom Ford sunglasses to perk me up! I guess taking it easy isn't all that bad.

Package from Neiman Marcus!

Don't mine the just out of the shower hair.
