Hi everyone! Yesterday I went to the NW Women's show in Seattle. I hadn't been going for about 5 years, I forgot how fun it is! Plus, you get all these free samples and food, you get to see celebrities, look at different booths and more. It's almost like a carnival. biggrin

Samples that I thought were pretty cool: chapstick, lip gloss, jar opener, cat food, granola bars, eye makeup removal, lots of liquid foundation, candy, ball massager, cloth bags, pens, sunscreen, and more. Pretty awesome for being free!

Plus, they also had makeover stations, food samples like ice cream, garlic bread, health drinks, eggs, chocolate fondue, and more.

The celebrity we saw was Dr. Lisa Masterson who's on the show the Doctors. People got to ask her some health questions and after her there was a fashion show showing off Plato's Closet. There was also a Nintendo DS spa. Where you sit and play games, and eventually they'll massage your back. The lady who did mine kept saying how tense I was, I guess I was difficult. xd I also bought some Swirlidos, which help keep your ponytail in place without pulling out the hair when taking it out. It's awesome! There was also formal dresses and wedding dresses, those were cool to see.

After all that we still needed to have dinner and decided to go to Spinasse, since it was like raved about in a magazine. They apparently make their own pasta, so I had some high hopes for them. I ordered the Ragu. The pasta was extremely thin, and not cooked all the way. Plus, there wasn't much of a sauce. I also ordered the sparkling lemonade. It was like the most concentrated lemonade I've ever had. So sour I couldn't drink it. And, I love sour! My mom ordered the ravioli which was like 5 thin (paper thin) raviolis and no sauce. It was horrible, she was still hungry afterwards. My dad had the best out of all of us. He had the rabbit with potatoes, which was done very well. My mom and I said we deserved a nice desert after that. So, we went to Denny's. I had my fave, Oreo Sundae. blaugh heart So good!

So, all in all not too bad of a day. xd
