So my best friend, Kristin is getting married next month in Utah. I was asked to be in the wedding party so I have been pretty busy these past couple of months. But WOW. What a mission! I had no idea it would be like this! I know wedding planning is basically every girl’s childhood dream but it is stresssssful! And I’m not even the bride! (Thank goodness… well at least for now). Color schemes, wedding dress shopping, bridesmaid dress shopping, cake sampling, venue scouting galore… it NEVER ends!
However, I am ecstatic to announce that we can cross catering off our to-do list! Kristin decided to go with a Salt Lake caterer, Culinary Crafts. Their past weddings have been gorgeous. Check out some one of their previous events…
As mentioned before, I began taking the Akavar 20/50 weight loss supplement as one of my new years resolutions. This past week I have been taking it in conjunction with my daily jogging and new sugar-reduced, low-fat eating habits in hopes of shedding a few pounds. So far, I have lost two pounds (it’s only been a week, people!) and I swear I am eating less (no easy feat for the girl who eats like a horse).
However, I have a girlfriend who insisted on using Alli, the first FDA approved over-the-counter weight loss pill. Unfortunately, I don’t think she read the label very thoroughly and experienced by far one of the most embarrassing and horrifying moments I have ever heard. Before I tell you what happened, let me give you a little background on Alli.
The pill is designed to block body fat, which is supposed to pass through your body. Thus, the makers of Alli suggest users wear dark pants or bring a change of clothes when they leave the house until they get used to the pill’s plausible (and disgusting) side effects. In other words, stray too far from a low-fat, very healthy diet and you’ll probably poop your pants - no joke! In fact, the official Alli website warns users of these possible side effects:
gas with oily spotting
loose stools
more frequent stools that may be hard to control
I’ll spare you the grisly details of my friend’s humiliating experience, but I will say it involved one of the previously mentioned “side effects,” a silk dress, and one damn sexy date who will never call her back.
Personally, I would rather try something that helps stave off hunger rather than something that makes me mess my drawers! But I’m curious…would you take a weight loss supplement with such awful side effects if it meant shedding some weight?
Choosing a caterer for any event, whether it is a wedding, party, or business affair, can be a daunting task; after all, the quality of the food can make or break an event.I used a Utah catering service for my engagement party way back when, and now it is the only catering company I will use.However, it took quite a bit of research on my part until I found the perfect one.Consider the following tips when you are in the thick of your search for a caterer.
- One of the best places to start your search is to get recommendations from family, friends, and co-workers.Chances are that the names of reputable caterers within an area will overlap.
- The longer the catering company has been around, the more experience they have in the industry.
- Make sure to sample dishes when interviewing potential caterers.You never want to underestimate the quality of the food, so make sure you know what they are capable of.
- Choose a caterer with enthusiasm and spunk, someone who will go that extra mile and make sure your event is absolutely perfect.
- Inquire about insurance; make sure the caterer has all the proper licenses, permits, and insurance.This includes workers compensation.If something happened to a catering employee, you would not be held liable.
