Barritt’s Ginger Beer sent me a really cool gift set full of swag along with a few cans of Ginger Beer. The set also came with menu cards of how to build your own cocktail. I don’t drink alcohol, but that didn’t discourage me from making something refreshing with the non-alcoholic Ginger Beer. My mocktail… Continue reading Barritt’s Slim Virgin Sangria
Paris– the city of love, lights, and damn good eats. A great thing about food in Paris is you can eat all your stomach can handle and not feel too guilty because of all the walking you’ll be doing (I averaged between 8-11 miles each day). Just remember to wash all that food (and wine)… Continue reading Eating in Paris
I went to Paris over Thanksgiving, and I did things. This was my third time back, so I took it easy and didn’t do a lot of the must see must do items that a first time tourist might want to experience. So instead of listing the things I did on this previous trip, this post… Continue reading How to Paris like a Champ
I had four days in Amsterdam, and this is how I spent it. Friday We arrived at 8am, took a cab (hello overabundance of Tesla cabs!) and checked into the hotel at 9:30am. I slept about zero on the plane, so I needed a nap. Woke up after 1pm and walked to The Avocado Show,… Continue reading Amsterdam in Four Days
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I love NYC. I’m originally from Houston, but I lived in NYC for a few years, and I try to go back as often as possible. Each time I’m there, I hit my usual favorites and also try a few new spots. Saturday 10am. My husband and… Continue reading NYC, October 2017
I spent a few days in the gorgeous towns of Canmore and Banff last week with my family. The first day was inundated with low hanging clouds, light rain and snow. We took it easy with a hike on the Grassi Lakes Trail, and as soon as we reached the lake the snow started falling.… Continue reading Alberta, Canada
Houston was put through hell last week. Homes were destroyed, lives were lost, and water still covers parts of the city right now. I heard a lot of stories from friends on their terrifying experiences during the storm.. watching the water slowly rise from the ground up to their chest within only a couple hours,… Continue reading Hurricane Harvey
For the past couple of years, I’ve been telling myself “This is the last time I’ll go to SDCC.” But every year that I’m able to get my hands on a coveted badge, I consider myself lucky. Who needs sleep and sanity? Not me, I need Comic-Con. This was my 8th straight year going to… Continue reading San Diego Comic-Con International 2017
When I heard Ka Sushi was serving Japanese pancakes, I immediately made Sunday brunch reservations. If you’ve been on Instagram in the last year, you’ve probably seen videos of these fluffy, bouncy, lighter-than-air soufflé hotcakes in your feed. I hoped Ka Sushi’s pancakes would mimic that, but they turned out to be a thicker version… Continue reading Ka Sushi
If you caught my Instagram Story from Sunday afternoon, you know that I went to The Dunlavy for brunch. The space is open and gorgeous with hanging chandeliers, floor to ceiling windows, and a plethora of green surrounding the restaurant. The wait in the Houston heat to get inside was less than desired, but that’s… Continue reading The Dunlavy
