Santa Fe In a Day
Taking a step backward after taking a step forward isn’t always a disaster; it’s more like a cha cha. And that’s how I choose to view the last month on the road readying a new product for launch. En route to Colorado from Austin, we side stepped our way to Santa Fe. It was only a day, but it was filled with play! Whether you have 24 hours or 2-4 days, Santa Fe is a playground for artists, foodies and fitness aficionados alike! Cha cha your way to my top picks below!

One weekend and one plan: see all the sites of Seattle…in 40 hours. What can I say, I like a good challenge? Was there meticulous planning? Nope. Was there some curiosity-induced wandering?

From Pike’s Place to Bainbridge Island to the Space Needle and neighborhood gems, suffice to say that I’m 100% satisfied with all the sites, sips and eats of Seattle. Read on for my top 10 of all the touristy and not-so-touristy spots!

Austin Favorites
Things are about to get weird for the Shookman’s…because we’re moving to Austin! After 6 years in Chicago and a lifetime of midwestern winters, it’s time to fly south – for good! I’m excited to trade in my snow boots for the kind cowboys wear and Moose doesn’t know it yet, but he’s living for the days he can lay belly up in the sun, beached whale style. More to come on what’s bringing us to Austin (a girl can’t divulge all her secrets at once), but in the meantime, I’m sharing my growing list of Austin favorites — food, fitness and fashion spots. Read on for the full list and help a newbie Texan out – share some of your favorites in Austin!

The Future of Food Is Now: Expo West 2019 Recap
The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it. And woah was I inspired by all the creators stirring up the food industry at last week’s Natural Foods Expo West. What’s truly powerful though, is realizing that you aren’t just a bystander. You have the power to create whatever reality you desire. All these innovations started with one step into the unknown. One brave soul had the courage to listen to the hollerings of their heart and stomp on any doubts, missteps or naysayers and charge ahead to create something completely new to the world. Pretty cool, huh?
As a brand marketer & food enthusiast, I’m taking inspo from all the creative juices flowing at last week’s natural & organics food show. Want a sip? Read on for my take on the top 2019 food trends at Natural Foods Expo West, along with my fav new products you’ll soon find on shelves.
