While I know a lot of people have issues with tequila, I am not one of them. In fact, it’s my favorite type of liquor. My favorite way to enjoy tequila is in a margarita, more specifically, spicy margarita. I had my first spicy margarita about a year and a half ago at Taqueria Feliz in… Continue reading Cinco de Mayo Cocktails: Spicy Pineapple Margarita
While I think mint juleps in cupcake form are delicious, my first experience with the cocktail wasn’t as pleasant. To be fair, it was my first time making it so maybe I just picked a bad recipe, but based on what I’ve heard from other people, I think it was probably pretty close to the… Continue reading Kentucky Derby Cocktail: Mint Tea Julep
I love getting to travel for conferences, especially when they are in cities I’ve never traveled to. It can be challenging, however, to find enough time between meetings and events to get to actually experience something other than the hotel and convention center. And let’s be honest, there isn’t a huge difference between a Hilton… Continue reading Making the Most out of Conference Travel: Austin

Even if watching horses race isn’t your favorite thing, you can still have fun celebrating the Kentucky Derby this year on May 2nd. Horse racing is obviously the main event, but the fashion is the next best part. Women don pretty dresses and big hats and the men wear blazers (maybe a seersucker suit) and pastel ties or bow… Continue reading Kentucky Derby Hats: Splurge or Save
While my hometown had a Whole Foods, it wasn’t a place we shopped very often. When I was little, I remember it being the store that always had free samples, but as I grew older and began shopping for groceries myself, I always thought of it as the expensive store that had lots of organic… Continue reading Whole Foods: Grand Opening
Sushi is easily one of my favorite foods especially with the weather warming up. It’s so light and filling, making it perfect for summertime. Recently, my family and I went to Izu Sushi in Lansdale, PA and it instantly has become my go-to sushi place in the area. We were there around lunch time on a… Continue reading Eat Here: Izu Sushi
With last weekend’s summer-like weather, I was able to break out my patio furniture and fire up the grill for the first time this year. Nothing says summer like a fruity cocktail, so I decided this would be the perfect chance to try out my new Vodka Zinger drink infuser and the J.

If you’re a loyal Hilton customer, chances are at least once when you’ve called about a reservation you’ve been offered 500 points for listening to an offer by Hilton Grand Vacations.
