Michelob Ultra Dragon Fruit Peach

Sexy Nerd and I recently completed a road trip from Albuquerque, NM to Phoenix and Tucson. As you may remember, a certain someone hates staycations, so we had to get out of our own state. We loaded up the trusty Alero and hit the road. Our first stop was Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.
Pretty, but not pretty enough to pull over?
Bam!
Chilling in the shade of the Crazy Old Man hat.


Petrified Forest petroglyphs.

 Our theory is that ancient teenagers were bored (wouldn't you be??) and vandalized these rocks.

The park service and scientists everywhere have a different theory.

Our next road trip destination...

(duh nuh na nuh)
The Grand Canyon


Sexy Nerd is a bit of a worrywart and he refused to venture anywhere near the edge. Like, anywhere remotely close to it. This photo was taken with the lens zoomed waaay in and has been cropped so that I'm not off in the distance.


I was being cautious. See me using that tree for safety?

Now, if you're anywhere around the southwest, you may recall that it was incredibly, ridiculously, smack-you-in-the-face awesomely windy the Thursday and Friday of Memorial Day weekend. *Perfect* weather for the Grand Canyon.

The above photo ended with a gust of wind and Sexy Nerd frantically screaming "Get back here! You're going to get blown over the edge!"


It was magnificent, but...


the wind really was just too much fun to enjoy any longer.


Off we went to our hotel to enjoy some Michelob ULTRA Light Cider and to order pizza.
I wasn't sure how well this combination would work (the pizza and the cider beer - pizza with olives, banana peppers, salami, feta, pepperoni, onions, and steak always works!)

(As for those fungusy mushrooms Sexy Nerd insisted on...meh.)

The Michelob ULTRA Light Cider was actually perfect! I was a bit nervous that it would taste too sweet, but it isn't at all. It was exactly the kind of crisp, refreshing drink you would want after a day of exploring the desert. It reminds me of the fancy sparkling apple cider that people often serve at holidays and weddings, with the addition of alcohol. Brilliant!

Sexy Nerd, who prides himself on brewing his own beer, was reluctant to even try my Michelob ULTRA Light Cider. He said it went against everything home-brew stands for.

No pressure to try it, of course.
"This is commercial beer. It is not real beer."

"It looks nothing like my home-brew."
Apparently, a sign of a good beer is to sniff it??


"You're not going to post these photos on your blog, right? I have a beer brewing reputation to uphold."


Finally!


SEXY NERD LOVES MICHELOB ULTRA LIGHT CIDER!

Michelob Ultra Dragon Fruit Peach

As I type this blog post, Sexy Nerd is actually attempting to create a beer recipe that duplicates the Michelob ULTRA Light Cider. Really. I told him that it needs to be low calorie, just like the Michelob, but he's not sure that's feasible. He says he can match them on the hand picked apples part. 

 Luckily for all you folks out there who aren't married to crazy Sexy Nerds, you can save yourself the time, expense, and mess (oh, the horrible, horrible mess of brewing your own beer! If only I could go back in time and stop this hobby of his!) and just buy this tasty beer at your local grocery store or Walmart.

 Now I'm tipped off to all the other yummy sounding varieties of Michelob ULTRA, including Michelob Ultra Dragon Fruit Peach and something called Lime Cactus. I'm hoping to find a variety pack soon that mixes Michelob's light cider with all their other flavors. These seem like the ideal summer drinks to pour into an icy glass and lounge on my porch swing with Sexy Nerd (who you just know will be drinking my Michelob ULTRAs too!)

 Which favorite summer meal or activity do you think would go best with Michelob ULTRA Dragon Fruit Peach?

 I'm thinking we should load up some sandwiches and Michelob ULTRA Light Cider and ride my fancy new bike to the park for a picnic.

Chemical Peel Before & After

This article has been updated! My new chemical peel post, which includes pricing, Jessner peel before and after photos, product recommendations, and a helpful timeline for scheduling your treatments, is at the bottom. My original Jessner peel post (one of the most popular on my site of all time) is at the beginning. Original Chemical Peel Article Considering a chemical peel? I recently underwent my first Jessner peel and thought I'd share my results, post a Jessner peel review, and answer some frequently asked chemical peel questions. (I'm guessing that "Does a chemical peel hurt?" is a biggie!) I'd been planning to order an over-the-counter peel when we were in Iceland , but my computer led me a different direction. I decided to do this on a whim after Groupon greeted me one morning with a great $40 chemical peel deal. Now, I can read your mind. You just gasped in horror and thought  You trusted your face to a  discount  chemical peel?!  You're wondering w

How to Move a Mattress

My site is popular for reviewing memory foam mattresses. With today's bed-in-a-box options lasting much longer than the traditional 7 years of a spring mattress, there's a good chance you'll eventually need to move one. But how? This is  how to move a mattress  without damaging it - even by yourself!  When we were faced with the challenge of moving our beloved Amerisleep AS3  to our new home, it seemed like my readers would enjoy the details. This handy tip should work for any memory foam bed, including Casper, Leesa, and Nectar.  I'm happy to report there is an extremely simple way to do it. Apartment and dorm dwellers rejoice! How to Move a Mattress At first, I wasn't sure how to move our king-size mattress down a flight of stairs. It's a problem we've dreaded solving ever since we made the decision to build a new house.  The answer? It was right in the back of our truck.  Ratchet straps . This solution could also serve as a 'How To' for returning

Hello Fresh Complaints

Hello, my bloggy friends. I have a HelloFresh complaint and believe they are pulling a scam. Yours truly came *this close* to falling for it.  Maybe scam is too harsh of a word. Sneaky? You can decide for yourself. The fact that there are so many Hello Fresh complaints online does seem suspicious. My main complaint about Hello Fresh has to do with their promotional rate, which seems like it is set up to be intentionally misleading (more on this below). Despite so many people complaining about being charged more than they thought they'd agreed to, Hello Fresh maintains this as part of their business model and continues to mislead. So it's intentional, right? I do not recommend Hello Fresh. For starters, the service is just ingredients-by-mail with recipes, not meals. You can buy your own ingredients for much less, especially now that most grocery stores conveniently offer pickup and delivery. Excellent recipes are easy to find.  Click here for a list of top-rated, reader-favorit

My Instant Pot Explosion!

Like many new Instant Pot owners, I've wondered, How many Instant Pots have exploded?  (Eeek!) I'm happy to report that my research on Snopes and other sites has shown that these do not explode, at least not when used properly. There is a lawsuit between a woman in Texas and the Instant Pot manufacturer, but she admits she had thrown a towel over the steam vent. Do NOT do this.  Still concerned? Consider that on Prime Day of 2018, Amazon sold more than 300,000 Instant Pots. That's more than a quarter of a million sales in only 1 day! If these things were not safe, you would see news stories every day about someone being injured. Still, things can go wrong. We love our Instant Pot, the digital pressure cooker that seems to suddenly be in every home. You can't mess up - just throw in random ingredients and you'll get something yummy every time. It's foolproof. At least, that's how I used to feel about our Instant Pot, until the explosion... Inst

3 Minute Toaster/Convection Oven Smores

These are perfect when you're craving a quick, sugary treat. They work equally well in a toaster oven and a convection oven. Best of all, compared to eating an entire bag of Oreos (something I have never  done), they're quite healthy. What's that, you say? You already know how to make s'mores in the toaster oven? Well then, sit back and enjoy the ooey-gooey marshmallowy photos. (And if you're someone who works with me, please keep the "I've seen her polish off an entire bag of Oreo cookies" nonsense to yourself.)  Step 1: Put desired amount of graham crackers on a toaster oven/convection oven-safe pan.   Looks like it's time to clean this pan, Sexy Nerd Optional 1st step, which is Sexy Nerd's favorite: Spread peanut butter on each graham cracker (I'm not much of a peanut butter fan - WHAT?!? - so I skip this step.) Cover with yummy marshmallows. Top with chocolate chips. Place in the toaster o

Reuzel: Grooming Tonic Industry Review

I'm looking out for you, my bloggy friends. At my last haircut, the hairdresser shared his favorite hair product of all time, REUZEL (which I'd never heard of), with me and I had enough sense to get the details to share with you. He didn't even have a bottle of it to sell me. It was a genuine, honest review. Also, are they still called hairdressers? Is this the equivalent of calling your flight attendant a stewardess? Stylist? Barber? Reuzel  Grooming Tonic Review You know those men who have the softest, most perfect hair and it seems so unfair because most men don't even care about their hair? (Or so they say.) I think this is their secret. While you're here, be sure to read my  funny haircut story . Geez, I'm awkward. The fact that I was brave enough to ask to take this photo at the salon is proof I love my blog readers. Never heard of it? That's probably because Reuzel Grooming Tonic is marketed toward men. From reading their endless 5-star reviews, men
