Euro Caffe: European Style and Flavor

December 31, 2013 by

Crepes are the signature dish at Euro Caffe, just minutes from Coventry Court Apartments. With topping selections like Nutella, caramel, blueberry, banana, peach, graham cracker, and maple syrup it’s not hard to see why. In close proximity to a number of fine international restaurants, many diners skip dessert to come to the Euro Caffe to sample some of its delightful offerings. There are even a selection of savory crepes, with ingredients like grilled chicken, smoked bacon, and prosciutto along with sun dried tomatoes and arugula. Euro Caffe features many great drinks, from traditional coffee to iced drinks to a variety of tasty teas. The Euro Caffe is a great place to grab breakfast or lunch given its variety of lighter fare. Salads include Caprese, garden veggie, and mixed field greens. When paired with a breakfast Panini or sandwich you have one hearty and healthy meal.

Five Beauty­ Enhancing Products You Already Have at Home

December 18, 2013 by

Beauty products and spa treatments make you look and feel great, but they can turn your wallet inside out. Try using these everyday products as quick, hassle-free beauty treatments to keep your looks in line.

Toothpaste
Use this bathroom staple as a quick zit zapper. Rest easy with a dollop of the minty fresh paste on the potential pimple overnight and see it disappear in the morning.

Tea
Shine up your locks with a couple bags of chamomile tea. Brew two tea bags worth of tea, refrigerate it to room temperature before pouring it over wet, just-washed hair. Let it sit in your strands for ten minutes before rinsing it out for a beautiful, shiny mane.

Whole Milk
This wholesome drink works great as a gentle way to slough off dead skin and moisturize at the same time. For sensitive skin, add a gallon to your next bath for a moisturizing soak.

Lemons
When life hands you lemons, use them to moisturize your dry skin! Slice a few lemons in half and rub then cut side over your rough patches. Let the citric acid sit for a minute on the skin and then rinse for super smooth skin.

Bananas & Avocado
These two emollient-rich foods do wonders for frizzy hair. Mash together one of each and work it through a dry head of hair. Let it sit for 10 minutes, rinse, and voila: beautiful tame locks.
