Shoe Addict - Jennandvinkicks

Image
Shoe Obsession  Yes, since I was a kid in elementary I was obsessed with shoes! I was the girl with the bright/weird ass shoes. I didn't give a shit about what people thought of me. I rock them like it was no one business. Now, I'm just wearing black heels, flats, and wedges to work. I know -- boringsauce. I work in an environment that I'm always on my feet and have to look professional. Sigh. But, don't fret, I enjoy my other kicks on the weekends.  Check out my shared Instagram if you would like to see what I'm rocking today! Also, my partner is obsessed with shoes as well. He's into those rare kinds. Just two people in love with shoes. Instagram - jennandvinkicks Lately, I've been loving Adidas. They changed the shoe game! I've been obsessed with the NMD line. Yes, I love the concept of the Boost, but the NMD portfolio stands out to me. The way they look and feel on the feet is magical. Everyone should own one!  Let me kno

Bring Me to Confucius - Houston, TX

Image
Confucius Seafood Restaurant             8880 Bellaire Blvd # J, Houston, TX 77036   I can't stop coming back to this place!! Service is super fast and the food is so good! The place is located next to a Fiesta Supermarket, so parking can be ugly sometime. Also, the restaurant is pretty small. The waiting area is basically by the door, so it makes it awkward when you're waiting for a table. Nevertheless, when you're finally seated, they serve you drink and quickly ask you what do you want to it. To some people, that might be a rude gesture, but you have to understand...there are 32 other people waiting for a table. So you better hurry up and order and eat fast! The first time we went here, we felt rushed. They have lots of food option, so we quickly scanned the menu and just ordered. We also looked at other tables to see what everyone else ordered. Almost at all the table was Lobster and Snow Pea Leas. You get such a good deal with Lobster! Yes, it is seasonal pric

North Shore Poke Co - Houston, TX (Let's Go Get Some Poke)

North Shore Poke Co     11195 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77042  "Hey, another Poke (POKE-AY) place is in town! Wanna go try their Poke?"  All the way from California! This is their first appearance in Texas, ya'll! Poke (fish salad) is starting to pop up in Houston and every where. I truly love the concept of eating fresh fish on top of rice. Or maybe because I love everything with rice. Haha. I went with a group of friends. Half of them order off their signature dish, the other half made their own bowls.   My order:        - Small Bowl (3 Scoop)        - White Rice        - 3 Scoop Salmon        - Fresh Ginger, Pickled Ginger, and Furikake        - Premium Topping (add $1) - Seaweed Salad        - Pipeline Sauce (traditional) What I like about North Shore Poke is that they give you a generous amount of fish!! Every bite I took was fish. I know most Poke only give you a small amount because the ratio of fish to rice is off. Half way through my b
