5 Fab Friday

Things we are loving/wanting/dreaming of on this Friday

Stylish Mama: 

1. Recently with my new role at work I have been getting really into "styling" my desk.  I find it helps to personalize my work space with those little touches that helps make me smile and or happy.  It's the little things...
I have been really gravitating to hot pink as my "happy color" for my desk.  Tell me any girl who loves cake wouldn't love this??

Holding my ticket...in disbelief that I was about to see John Legend perform!

If you hadn't heard already - I saw John Legend last Monday Nite at Hanover Theater in Worcester, MA. And man oh man did he not disappoint.  My favorite part of the show was how intimate it all felt.  He opened up by saying he wanted all those in the audience to feel like they were hanging out with him in his living room.  And that is how it really felt.  If you ever get the opportunity to see this man live.  Do it! And go with someone you love...makes it all that much better.

Cirque Du Soleil - Alma/Luna

Last night our dear friends took us to see a Cirque Du Soleil show in Boston, MA.  I love Cirque Du Soleil, this is my third show and they never disappoint.  I saw them perform in Las Vegas when I went a few years ago and since then we are hooked.  If you have a chance to catch their show in your area, please do so.  Their story line, their talents, the lighting, the details, its all amazing! Thank you once again Marie and Roly - Cirque Du Soleil will always be our "thing".

Who is a Soccer fan?  I am!!! Big Soccer fan!! So I am excited for the Fifa World Cup to start in 6 days! I was brought up watching soccer and going to the games.  I attended games during the World Cup '94.  Soccer is huge in Colombia, we joke that you can't call yourself Colombian if you don't like soccer.  I have my favorite teams picked out already and I can't wait to watch them play.  We jump, we laugh, we yell at the TV, it gets intense.  Will you be watching?

May Favorites...A little of everything

May was a very hectic and crazy month and I am hoping that June will be better.  As Stylish Mama mentioned in yesterdays post, we have had a lot of changes in our 9-5 job and its been overwhelming at times, taking a toll on us in many ways.  Change can be bumpy at times and sometimes it takes time to learn how to ride the waves.  Meanwhile I try to juggle everything else and somehow get some energy back, I am determined to enjoy my summer to the fullest! I was looking back in the month of May and apparently stress makes me eat alot...lol So I thought I would share with you a few of my favorites for the month of May, a little of everything.


Best steak tip dinner hands down!!!!! You must try.

Conrads Restaurant:
Steak Tips Dinner w/ mashed potatoes

I posted this on Instagram when I went, this place is so cool.  Everything is organic and full of flavor.  Definitely a place to check out if your in the Providence area.

Flatbread Company

I can't tell you how much I love, love, love seafood! Combine it with rice and other flavors and you have one of my favorite dishes, Paella.  Now I have had my share of Paellas and ladies and gents, this place, for me, is the place to go to eat it.  Its amazing! Don't take my word for it, go try it out for yourself. Paella, Portuguese style. Not to mention that the restaurant has a beautiful courtyard. 

Riviera Restaurant: Paella

This Portuguese restaurant doesn't disappoint ever.  The service, the food, the prices, the drinks...etc its all excellent. I usually get their roasted chicken with fries and this time we wanted to try something new, wow! 

Churrascaria Marques Grill & Restaurant:
 House Shrimp, Sangria, Surf & Turf

My favorite water of all time, I know that many may be like what's the big deal but FIJI water is so yummy.  I can tell the difference or maybe my brain plays tricks on me since visiting FIJI is an ultimate dream.  Then there's San Pellegrino, whose Mineral Water I love as well but I wanted to try the Blood Orange drink.  Oh my this is so good! 

I think you can notice my trend of favorite things! FOOD!! lol  What can I say? I can eat!


I also wanted to share two sayings that I found at my local Home Goods, anyone go in there wishing to buy the entire store? I know I do. I want everything for my house.

To finish off my post, I'll share with you one of my favorite moments in the month of May.  BamBam has always had a hard time relaxing in the car so to see him enjoy the breeze brought a smile to my face.  We had a family day at Newport and we took him, he loves it as much as his mama does.  BamBam was enjoying the ocean breeze.  Doesn't he look absolutely adorable? 

How was your May? 

Happy June, 

Organized Chica, xox

We are back!!!

Have you missed us?

We missed blogging!

To tell you the truth things have been crazy busy over here for both Organized Chica and myself.  We both work in the same office together for our secular jobs.  And recently we have been under a new restructure.  So with anything it takes some time getting use to them.  I should also mention Organized Chica received a promotion at work.  I am so proud of her!!  Such a beauty and has the brain power behind it too!

Also, this past weekend we both had co-celebrated our anniversaries with our husbands.  Her anniversary with her husband is actually this month and I just celebrated mine in May.  So we decided we would go to one of favorite places to dine in RI.  Spain restaurant, of Cranston, RI.

Have you ever been?

This is what we had for dinner? Are you hungry yet?

Swordfish ~ Paella ~ Pork Tenderloins with Mashed Potato

Bread Pudding ~ Cheesecake with a Creme Brulee top layer

If, not...what are you waiting for?

Everyone takes a bathroom selfie with their BFF right?

So getting back to the restaurant...the food is simply amazing.  And the service and presentation is always on point.

We both order the same dish each time - and share it.
Paellla for two.  Which actually feeds 4!  Its huge!

We had a fabulous time and I think I can speak for the both of us in saying...we are so fortunate to have met and married two amazing guys!

My hubby actually surprised me with tickets to see John Legend tonight in concert!!  I am so excited.  I really have loved his music for years now...but I know this year especially his music has taken off so much.  It should be a fun romantic night out...and guess what...its in the 80's here in New England.  So it finally feels like summer!!!! Or should I say...Summah!!!

Thank you to all of patient and kind readers who understood our little break last week.
But now that we are back...we want to be better than ever!

Love, Stylish Mama

Taking the week off

We hope that you all enjoyed your long weekend.  We sure did but it's never enough so on that note, we are taking the rest of the week off from the blog. We hope that you enjoy the rest of your week and make sure to check us out on Instagram.

Part 2: The Grand Opening of The Container Store, RI

Here is part two of our blogger lunch/tour and lastly photos from the VIP Grand Opening Party!

Ever wonder what you would use these storage containers for?

Wonder no more!  

There are multiple uses and best part about these is that they are clear, 

so you can always tell what it inside without having to open them.

Here is a food station the store made for the desserts -all done with office storage! 

Below is a photo of how they were used...

Such a great idea for the upcoming summer!  

Takes the guessing work out of what to bring and what you need to pack!

Eagle Creek traveling product line! Love them!!

Stylish Straws - LOVE!  Any stylish lady would love these for entertaining guests!

What could make us happier than a private store tour?

Food and a $50 gift card courtesy of The Container Store!  Thank you!!

Best part of the lunch for us was when we won a container...

full of fun goodies from the store.

If you follow us on Instagram you will notice we are featuring some of our finds and our feedback.

Here is a photo taken by the photographer hired by The Container Store.

Organized Chica ordering a cocktail.  

Did we mention this event was Open Bar?

Yummy!!  The seafood station.

Fish cakes, Ceviche, lobster rolls, stuffed clams, and Cava!

Sushi all served on bamboo organizers

Yummy Asian noodles served in adorable takeout containers

 (which you can buy in the store)

Here is the dessert station...adorable macaroons peeking out of the draw...so much fun!

At the event we ran into a familiar face...our friend Kristen!

And we also met Kristen's mom...

we now know where she gets her beauty and sweet personality from!

Here us...taken at the end of the night...we danced, we ate, and we had fun!  

And yes, I went on Saturday again. I had to give my mom a personal tour...lol  And maybe I went again on Sunday, but who is keeping track.  I found this really cool chair that I want for my job, it's suppose to help your posture and work your core.  Big shout out to Leidy, my new Container Store friend! When you visit the store go say hi to her. She's a sweetheart! You can mostly find her in the office section and the woman is knowledgeable.

If you would like to view some of our videos that we recorded at the Container Store, please visit our Facebook page.  These were our first videos so we made our share of mistakes.  Apparently I, Organized Chica, am a camera hog and overly use the word "actually" when I don't even use the word in my everyday vocabulary.

We would love to hear from you all as to what you enjoy most about the store and your first visit.
Happy Shopping and Enjoy the long weekend everyone!!

Love, Stylish Mama and Organized Chica xox
