Subarz makes great Valentine's Day gift

Have you decided what you are going to get for your partner on Valentine's Day? I recently discovered subarz.⁠ Subarz offers gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free and nut-free options!⁠ ⁠

So what is subarz? subarz are a unique baked treat, combining the crunch of mandelbread and biscotti with the sweetness of a cookie. Sounds yummy, right? Also Subarz last for several weeks, freeze well and can be enjoyed frozen.
I had Lemon Thyme / Salted apricot caramel / Apple trilogy / white choco raspberry / spiced fig / lavender.⁠ ⁠ It's like biscotti but it's not hard like biscotti, more like thick cookie. All flavors were really delicious and very filling. My favorites are lemon tyme and lavender. ⁠

You can order online. They offer nationwide shipping, as well as free shipping! They also offer 6 months membership, too.⁠

Proper Pizza and Pasta - Los Angeles

Proper pizza is absolutely great place for pizza. The size of pizza is huge, and they do half and half. So if you have two flavors you want, you can do so. But I highly recommended you to try Carbonara pizza.

They do deliver, open late, and have free Wi-Fi.
Everything made from scratch, home made desserts are a must try.

They do have free parking but limited and difficult. I was lucky to find one tiny spot, but when I was leaving, 3 cars were blocking me and they were all trying to find and waiting for parking spot. I couldn't get out for 10 minutes.
