the innaugural post....

ah, so....i've been doing the livejournal thing since the inception of blogging.  but frankly, that's more a "diary" of sorts.  i've been meaning to write a blog that's intended to be shared.  things that are on my mind, things i like (like my wishlist.com account but w/more detail), things happening around me, blah blah, and a yadda yadda.  seems everyone and their mother blogs, so who am i not to? this is of course assuming anyone out there cares what i've got to share [insert ego].

and so with this post, consider this blog up and running...in light of this immense accomplishment, i think today calls for a champagne toast (i've been searching high and low for an excuse to crack a bottle ;)

my first blogger insight/recommendation for a fabulous life: drink more champagne! =)

Sippin' on gin n juice...not really.

I have been on an insane juice cleanse kick ever since my colleague Amanda introduced me to Nekter Juice Bar . I'm on my 3rd cleanse in a month and a half. My reasoning? I need to reset my body. Spicy lemonade to fire up that metabolism :) I have not been honoring myself in any way lately. I work long hours and don't do much in the way of exercise. Factor in daily bought lunch and you've got a recipe for disaster. So i've juiced and I have to say it's been good. It's been a blessing in disguise not having to think about what to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner, lol But the benefit isn't in placating my laziness. I'm getting all my fruits and veggies and my body has been taught to crave those things. Hopefully i'll be able to keep the train rolling along through these greener pastures. We shall see. wocka wocka. i <3 cheeseball humor. I DO highly recommend Nekter if you're interested in giving the juice detox a go. The jui...

Lavish cocktail parties - a how-to

Image
Summer is upon us and the work powers that be decided to spring a fun Thursday outing on the staff with lessons on how to throw a proper (pinkies up) cocktail party. Fueled with good food and great drinks while surrounded by awesome company the team headed down to North Park in San Diego for a step-by-step culinary and cocktail guide c/o of Hip Cooks . The theme for the night was infusions. The cocktail station  Peter (PEEEETAAAAA!!), our gastronomic sage guided us on our journey teaching us how to prep and cook fabulous finger foods. We created 3 dishes at a time and while the food cooked the team diversion came via Aaron, master mixologist, who taught us how to make Dionysian libations (also 3 at a time) appropriately paired for our noms. We were sooooo fancy :) Garden Party cocktail in the making  2 rounds of delicious apps and lots of liquid love brought the team together in celebration of 1/2 a year of amazing work for ourselves and our clients. It was a...

things are gonna change...i can feel it...

by that I mean locale mostly. well, with that comes new places, new faces, new opportunities. my agency acquired a local digital marketing agency and while our new, NEW office gets built, we're bunking with them. we moved from mission valley into downtown SD and I couldn't be happier. i didn't realize how much I missed a real city in oh, so long. big buildings, big blocks, big personalities. BIG. and I love it. moving from the NJ/NY area to north county SD 5 years ago was a challenge. I grew up in a big city and moving to the burbs was, well, different. I acclimated and lost that yearning for city life. today it was reawakened. It's so great to be in downtown surrounded by options - stores, restaurants, entertainment. all. right. there. I have a feeling it's going to be wonderful working in downtown and I'm honestly looking forward to it - although my commute still sucks. which brings me to my next point. moving closer to work. If I could, I...
