Need Fabulous Catering?

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

I work as an executive assistant for a rather large corporation in

Salt Lake City.  Not as glamorous as it sounds, the job involves a lot of tedious grunt work, including a recent corporate formal dinner I had to put together. Ugh

Among the gazillion things I had to take care of, finding the perfect caterer was probably the most challenging.  Isn’t the food what sets the ambiance of an event? The menu and presentation would surely make or break the affair. Not to mention, the job the caterer did would reflect directly on my company.

So finding the perfect

Utah corporate caterer was not the easiest job; I must have interviewed nearly 50 different companies!  But once I found them, everything seemed to fall in place.  The cater and I worked together closely to figure out the perfect menu, the venue setup, and all the decorations.  I must say, they did a fabulous job! Much better than I had anticipated.  They brought in really chic lounge furniture that really gave an “uber chic” feeling to the party.  The food presentation was beyond picturesque (we had “floating buffets”) and it tasted absolutely delectable. 

Needless to say, the event was a smash and actually resulted in quite a nice pay raise. So if you live in the area and are in need of a fabulous caterer for a business event, family reunion, or your wedding, this Best in State caterer does it all.

Baby Steps to a Slimmer You!

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

Most of us are not strangers to dieting or weight loss crusades – unfortunately. But take solace gals, because the fight to shed those pounds is getting easier (I swear!).

 

We have to come to terms with the fact that there will always be temptations. The frozen aisle will always be stocked with ice cream, you will always be offered dessert at your beloved food establishment, and McDonalds isn’t going anywhere. But there are certain, relatively small things you can do every day to alter your eating habits and lifestyle to help achieve your ideal weight.

 

These days we have so many food options! Low-fat, no trans-fat, sugar free, low sodium, and any other “lite” options are usually available in our favorite foods. Same goes with organic and natural products – long gone are they days of health food that tastes like cardboard. Even our favorite fast food restaurants (such as the aforementioned McDonalds) are offering healthier choices like salads, fruit choices, and bottled juices.

 

As for exercise, exert just a little more effort! Start taking those stairs at work or park in the back of the parking lot. Go shopping at a large outdoor shopping mall (you won’t even realize you’re doing exercise). Start exercising in pairs; having a friend to go jogging with or to the gym will make the experience much more bearable, if not even enjoyable.

 

If you can maintain a healthy balance of good eating habits and consistent exercise, try using a weight loss supplement. Look for one that will curb hunger, which will reduce your caloric intake (how much food you actually eat).

 

Once you have established these small yet effective changes in your lifestyle, you will be very surprised and excited to notice the difference. You will not only feel great, but you’ll look great too!
