What's Shakin?  Greetings from sunny L.A!  Have you heard of "Palpreet Singh"? Make sure to put him on your radar.  I had the extreme fortune of hanging out behind the scenes during the filming of his journey from India to the NBA.   As promised, we kicked off Houston Restaurant Week(s) with a bang at Union Kitchen.  And it was DE-LIC-IOUS!  Jason Bourne, Matt Damon and the Sundance Cinema didn't disappoint. Did you know you can order wine by the bottle at the Sundance Cinemas?  HOLY MOLY! #gamechanger.  Oh, and I packed 5 days of clothes with multiple wardrobe changes into 1 carry-on suitcase. #BOOM *pats myself on the back*

What's New?  All the fun begins tomorrow extra bright and early forBlogHer2016.  Despite the early call time, I couldn't be more excited for my 1st bloggers convention.  All the dets shall be revealed next week.  Stay tuned...
