Loco for Los Cocos

Posted on July 22, 2012 by under Food and Drink, Reviews.    

Los Cocos

Los Cocos on Urbanspoon

Brian and I stopped by Los Cocos the other day when we had to drop off some paperwork at mom’s house. I have to say, Los Cocos is one of my favorite places to eat in Derby. They serve typical Mexican restaurant food, but what sets them apart from other restaurants is their unbeatable daily drink specials.

Margaritas are $1.99 everyday. You heard me. EVERYDAY. Who needs happy hour, when you can get margaritas for less than a couple of bucks, any hour of the day, every single day? It’s not just one or two flavors either. I think they have at least half a dozen varieties and they’re all $1.99. But that’s not the best part. Jumbo margaritas are only $7 on Fridays and Sundays. Heck yeah!

I have a feeling mom and dad will be seeing a lot more of me now that there is a Los Cocos near their house. LOL.

P.S. The first encounter I had with Los Cocos was at Carmen and Nick’s wedding a few years ago. We liked the food so we used them for my 33rd birthday party. Probably no party this year because finances are tight. It would be nice to have one, though. I have a couple of caterers already in mind if we do.

Brian Gets a Haircut

Posted on July 22, 2012 by under Tips.

Brian got his haircut at Great Clips yesterday. I normally don’t go with him because I like to do Group Power right before Zumba on Saturday mornings. However, I was being a slacker yesterday so I decided to hangout with Brian at the hair place.

The work stations at Great Clips are divided by these colorful sails. It makes me think of sailing. Don’t know whose idea that was, but it’s pretty creative.

Brian has been going to the same Great Clips location for several years now. He loves it because they know the kind of cut he wants and he says he always gets great service. The best part is their mobile app. Brian loves it because it keeps your place in line for up to two hours. He checks in on the mobile app and then gets right in at the salon when he shows up. There could be dozens of people waiting in line, but he doesn’t have to wait. It’s pretty neat. He usually gets lots of evil looks from the people waiting to get their haircut, but it’s not his fault they didn’t use the mobile app. LOL. We love, love, love businesses that embrace technology.

Here’s today’s tip: If you’re going to get a haircut and you’re not partial to a particular salon, consider going to Great Clips. Their mobile app works great!

Fiesta at Nomar

Posted on July 21, 2012 by under Events, Things to Do, Zumba.    

I just wanted to post a quick reminder to everyone that Angela, Adriana and I are doing a FREE Zumba demo at Nomar tonight. The demo doesn’t start until 9 PM, but the party begins at 6 PM.

If you’ve never been to Nomar, this is your chance to enjoy live music, food, and drinks. This event is open to the public. Admission is free, but you’re on your own for the food and drinks. Bring some cash if you want to eat and imbibe.

Come be merry with us!

I’ll Never Lose These Last 10 Lbs

Posted on July 19, 2012 by under Confessions, Health, Reviews.    

This is why I’ll never be able to lose the last ten pounds that I need to lose. We can’t stop eating out!

On the plus side, we are the #2 food blog in Wichita (just behind Chain Free Eating) and #3 in all of Kansas (just behind Roadtrips and In Pursuit of Pork). Woot!

If I’m going to be fat, at least I’m fat for a reason. Ha ha ha ha!
