Tender Greens and Seasons 52

Anyone that knows me knows how much I love to eat at Tender Greens. Another restaurant I love is Seasons 52. They are similar in the fact that they both serve food that is seasonally inspired. I feel good after eating at both of these places and don’t feel like I gluttoned myself! Yet, they don’t make you feel like you are missing out on anything. It is good for you food that doesn’t taste like you are trying to eat healthy. Did you know that nothing on the menu at Seasons 52 is over 475 calories? Nothing… and that includes their tacos, flatbread, steak or desserts. Pictured above is one of my all time favorite salads I love to order there. It is their Lemongrass Salmon entree salad. So good I tell you! And the variety of amazing food at Tender Greens gets me every time I go! From their soups, salads, hot plates and special sides. I never tire of it! You can read more about these great restaurants here and here. 

So now that I told you why these are some of my very favorite places to eat, let’s talk about the giveaway. Today’s giveaway is a $50.00 Tender Greens gift card and a $25.00 Seasons 52 gift card. Yes, double the prizes today! (*Note- Tender Greens are only located in California. San Diego County, Orange County, Los Angeles County and the Bay Area. Seasons 52 has locations spread out throughout the U.S.)

Nothing Bundt Cakes!

It is a rare occasion for me to eat a bakery cake and fall in love. I would say that 99.9% of the time, I am disappointed. I require a moist, but full flavored cake and that, my friends, is hard to come by. That is, until I tasted one of these delicious treats. Wow… I couldn’t stop eating it… until it was all gone! So much for sharing with others! So other than my own cakes, this is true love.. true cake L.O.V.E.

They will ship it right to you (Frosting will be included for you to frost). For those that are local, the shop is in Mission Viejo and you can pick up a decorated one of your choice! They even have special flavors of the month. Believe me… you will fall head over heels in love with them. It quickly became one of my favorite things!

Daniel Michael Salon Haircut or TIGI Reborn Hair products

I get stopped a lot when I am out and about and asked where I get my hair done. And I mean A LOT! My hubby can vouch for that. I can’t take any credit for that… as it is because of the talent of my amazing hair stylist Danny Berumen, one of the owners of the Daniel Michael Salon in San Juan Capistrano, California. I often tell my husband that we could never move far because I cannot go to anyone else! I am dead serious! If I move.. Danny you are coming with us! 🙂

The very lucky winner of this giveaway will not only get a free haircut/hair makeover from this amazing salon but from Danny (the master) himself ($150.00 value). If you don’t live locally, he will ship the high end TIGI Hair Reborn line of products (Shampoo 30.00, conditioner 40.00, hairspray 30.00, restorative illumineoil 30.00 and resurfacing lusterizer 30.00. Value 160.00) to your doorstep. It will be like a spa treatment for your hair! For those that live local, you can choose which one you would like. 

TIGI hires Danny to teach workshops around the world to other hair stylists. He is always up on the newest trends and products. I always tell people to let Danny recommend what type and style of haircut he thinks will be your best look. I never tell him what I want because I know he knows better than me what my best look is. Of course, you can tell him what you want, I am just telling you… he is so good, you should let him work his magic! I am so grateful he is willing to share his talents with my giveaway here!
