Tijuana Flats (Florida)

This may be a very bias review since I work at one of the locations, but I couldn't resist. Tijuana Flats is only found in five states: Florida, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. I work at one in Florida and I had no idea what this place what this place was before my roommates took me to it for lunch. I love Mexican food and the first thing I ate here were the Blackened Chicken Flautas. I fell in love with them and within a week of going there for the first time, I went three more times. I was addicted. I literally ate my way through the menu and before I applied there to work.
There's flour and whole wheat tortillas. You have four choices of meat: chicken, blackened  chicken, ground beef, steak and carnitas (pork). There's also a low fat cheese and sour cream option for healthy options along with the whole wheat tortillas.
I had a standard when I eat there. If I'm getting chicken it's going to be blackened chicken. If I'm getting something that uses a tortilla it's a whole wheat tortilla.
I would high recommend this restaurant; it has a great atmosphere, friendly service, crushed ice (!!!), a hot bar and amazing food. Everything is made to order and all products are fresh. It's so worth checking out if one is in your neighborhood.
I recommend signing up for their newsletter on their website, becoming a Flat Head =D . Specials will be emailed to you every month and I would recommend taking advantage of it. Also try to go there on your birthday for free food!

YouTube: sxephil & PhilipDeFranco & LikeTotallyAwesome

I have been a big fan of this guy for over three years now. His main channel is "sxephil" and he hosts a news channel, or as he says "what interested him in the news today". I don't watch a lot of news on the TV unless my dad has control of the TV remote. Phil keeps me informed on topics of the world and makes them easy for his viewers to understand. He's hilarious and I have a lot of respect for him because he's grown into a whole different person then who he started out as on YouTube. He has a big heart and does a lot of free giveaways and really cares about his viewers. He's said he was done with his YouTube channel on more then one occasion but he's never quit on us. I know I would be very upset if he did stop doing videos because I enjoy watching them and him "philing me in". ;) the fans get that joke lol.
He has another channel called "PhilipDeFranco" where he does some daily Vlogs and has some behind the scenes of his show and extras.
And his other channel that I'm including in this blog is his channel called "LikeTotallyAwesome" where he now has his DeFranco Movie Club and other just really awesome stuff. I like the movie club idea because if I've seen the movie that they watch I can either agree or disagree with them, and if there is a movie I've not seen, based on the review, I'll either watch it or just keep on living life.
All in all Philip DeFranco is a powerhouse on YouTube and he's humble about it. He has over 1,500,000 subscribers on his sxephil account, almost 600,000 on his PhilipDeFranco account, and almost 500,000 on his LikeTotallyAwesome account. Obviously he's doing something right and I highly recommend him. Thumbs up for sure! <3

Lips: Dinner with the Divas (Fort Lauderdale)

So what should you do on a Thursday night? Girls night at Lips! Don't know what Lips is? Lips is the ultimate Draw Show! Know what DDD stands for? Drinks, Dinner and Drag! I've never been to a Drag Show before and this show was amazing and the theme today was Dinner with the Divas. They had drag divas imitating celebrities, alive and dead. They apparently have different themes each night; Drag Divas, Bingo, Karaoke, Trivia, etc. Surprisingly there was many older women and even some men in attendance. 
You have three courses: a Caesar salad, an entree and a brownie with whipped cream on top. I had the filet, extra $7, but it's worth it. You get unlimited refills on coke, diet coke and sprite; granted it is $5, you get to take home your pink Lips cup as a reminder of the great time you had. The host was great and made jokes and had the whole crowd laughing. If you go be sure to bring plenty of singles to tip the ladies =) I would love to go back and enjoy the show again. Def a thumbs up for me.


There are also Lips located in San Diego and New York so if they are in your area please check them out for yourself.

YouTube: JennaMarbles

Okay the first YouTube video I saw of her's was her making fun of Ke$ha that was posted on somebodies Facebook. I was bored today and decided to check out the rest of her videos and I've come to the conclusion that she's absolutely AMAZING! She's so funny and down to earth. Her rants are awesome and she's so informative. She has two dogs that she loves to death and they show up in pretty much all of her videos. I'm subscribed to two of her channels and I have no regrets. She is a YouTube partner but still has another job and I guess that does prove that you can't entirely depend on YouTube partnerships to get you through life. All in all she's a real person with real problems and she's just the kind of person you'd want to have as a friend. Thumbs up for sure =)

You should check out her videos to get a good idea about if you think you'd want to watch her:

-How To Avoid Talking To People You Don't Want To Talk To

Hong Kong City BBQ (Tamarac, FL)

If you drove past this restaurant you wouldn't think much of it. It's in a little plaza off Commercial and 441 just North of Commercial on the West side of the road. I've been going to this place for several years now and I've yet to be disappointed by it. There are two things that make this place unique: they serve Dim Sum, and they have Chinese BBQ.

My Favorites:
Steamed BBQ Pork Bun - Dim Sum
BBQ Honey Roasted Pork
Beef Pan Fried Noodles
Pork Lo Mein

I don't like seafood but they have lots of shrimp and seafood dishes to choose from. Everyone there is very nice and friendly and it's a very calm and relaxed atmosphere. Thumbs up. =)

Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Pore Scrub

I had high hopes for this product. I love the majority of Neutrogena products and I was excited for their new line of products. I used this product for the first time in the shower, rubbed it into a wet face, rinsed off the product and when I got out of the shower my whole face looked like I was badly sun burnt it was so beet red. It went away after thirty minutes but I thought it was just a fluke because I exfoliate my face regularly. (I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub). Today I tried the product again to see if I get the same results, and I did. It does seem a little harsh for my skin and I don't know if it is causing me to break out because I have been lately. I have combination skin and I've never found it to be sensitive but I would only use this product sparingly at night before going to bed and not repurchase it. I would suggest using a good moisturizer after using this product to help the stinging go down. Thumbs down for me

WordFued

Okay so I must confess that I am totally addicted to this game. I downloaded it maybe....four or five days ago (for free on the Android market, also available on the iPhone) and I've been playing non-stop since. It's like Words For Friends. It's as simple as downloading it to your phone, creating a username and invite random players to play you. You can add them to your friends list so you can play them at feature times and overall it's a challenging and entertaining game. I've yet to win a round because I focus more on making badass words like "pirate" and surprisingly enough you can get a lot of points for the word "sex" haha. There are ads in the free version, but they aren't bad enough to actually buy the app. Yes, thumbs up for me.
