Does anyone else feel this way throughout the week? Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Well hello cocktail!

Here is what has been going on with me this week…..

Cholon : I don’t know if I have talked about Cholon in Denver before or not. It is definitely worth a second (or third) time if I have! It is one of my favorite restaurants in Denver. Randomly Donny got an email from United Airlines showing us an offer for a Visa Signature Exclusive Winemaker Dinner. Visa and United rented out all of Cholon for this event! I guess they do these all over the country throughout the year, but Donny said he has never seen one in Denver. We decided it was worth the points, since it is one of our favorites. You get to meet the chef, Lon Symensma. You also get to try several things on their menu and they pair some of them with wine. Lon comes out and explains the dish and their wine expert explains the wine and how they go together. We went last night and the winery they were featuring was Forth Vineyards from Sonoma, California. Jan Forth was there to talk about wines and she was a hoot. You could tell she loved what she was doing and loved being there. When we first got there we could enjoy wine and some of their appetizers, which included French onion soup dumplings (our favorite) and potstickers. Here is the rest of the menu. My other favorite is the Kaya Toast. It is life changing. Savory and sweet… my favorite combination! [Read more…]

Happy Friday! Here are a few things going on in this crazy brain….

2015 Olympia : It is this weekend! The biggest bodybuilding competition of the year is going on now. I don’t follow very many male athletes, but I do know quite a few of the females competitors. I’m rooting for Nichole Wilkins! If she wins then she will have won the Figure Olympia a record five times! She won in 2009, 2011, and then back to back in 2013 & 2014. I follow her on Instagram and she is amazingly fit and strong. I don’t necessarily want to look just like her but she is very motivating! I also follow Ashley Kaltwasser who will compete in the Bikini Olympia. She has won the last two years now so this would be her third straight win! I would love to go to Las Vegas some time to see this. Even to just go to the Olympia Expo would be awesome! You’d get to see so many professional bodybuilders and so many cool fitness/nutrition companies. Fitness & Bikini finals are tonight and then I believe Figure finals are tomorrow. It’ll be fun to watch! [Read more…]
