FunSized Living

I spent four years of my life living in Tempe, Arizona while attending Arizona State University. I tried my hardest to take advantage of everything the Valley had to offer while I was living there, in between getting an education, of course! So here are my top 5 frolicking spots to check out when visiting the Phoenix area! 1. The Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess      Located in Northern Scottsdale, the Willow Stream Spa is the perfect escape for some R&R. I just went back there in February (after being away for almost a year) and they've gone under some major changes, which I can't say I've completed adjusted to yet, but it is still the best place to be. With a gym, a rooftop pool, amazing services and a bunch of other hidden gems, you'll just have to find out for yourself, why this is one of the best spas in the country! Make sure to check out their website before going to look into deals and Spa Week Specials!   (The rooftop pool at the

Tourist or not, these are my five 5 favorite spots to frolic in New York City. 1. The High Line             Since the park opened in 2009, it has continued to gain major recognition for its individuality and the uniqueness that comes with it. The High Line isn't like any other park in Manhattan and that is because it hovers above the crowded streets on what used to be freight train tracks.            It now extends from the Meatpacking District on Gansevoort Street all the way up to West 30th. Not only is each section of the High Line different, but with each step, you get an even more captivating view of New York and its surrounding area.           If you're looking for somewhere to relax, people-watch or just enjoy the sights of Manhattan the High Line is the perfect frolicking escape.  (10th Avenue Square Viewpoint on the High Line) 2.  Soho Shopping & Chinatown         If you're looking for a great place to go shopping while in N

This week's recipe comes from Food.com; Pork with Balsamic-Cranberry Sauce . The recipe called for pork tenderloin but I used pork chops. It was easy to make and absolutely delicious. I served it with squash which was marinated in oil, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and then baked in the oven for about 45 minutes.  What new recipes are you springing into?

This past weekend was "Museums on Us", from Bank of America and I finally decided to take advantage of this great deal! The first weekend of every month, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch card holders get free admission to a handful of museums across the country. They have the full list of museums on their website . I used this great offer in the City of Brotherly Love... Philadelphia! The first stop was to the Philadelphia Museum of Art which now has "Outsiders Art" Expo going on; which included this incredible work of art by Simon Sparrow... Among the permanent collection,  you can find one of my favorites, Sunflowers by Van Gogh. My reasoning for going to the Philadelphia Art Museum(PAM) first was that regardless of BoA weekend, when you purchase a ticket to the PAM, you also gain entrance to the Perelman Building as well as the Rodin Museum . So, on top of all the free museums, thanks to BoA, you're getting two more for free! What a deal!

It's finally April, but it is still pretty cold here, on the east coast. But let's warm things up with a new recipe for this week! This week's recipe came from Health Magazine... The only thing I did differently was instead of using plain yogurt, I used Greek vanilla yogurt which gave the meal a completely different flavor. It's all about personal preference.  And here's the finish product... I also did not add all of the radishes and cucumbers into the sauce, which made it more saucy than how it came out in Health Magazine's photo. It was super yummy and healthy! Definitely a recipe I will use again! How have you built a better chicken breast? Share your recipe with me! Follow me on:   Bloglovin' ,  Twitter ,  YouTube ,  Facebook ,  Instagram .
