I chilled out on visiting restaurants towards the end of 2022, but once I got back from Ghana it was ON.  I have visited so many new restaurants in Houston that I think you all will enjoy too.  Here are Houston Restaurants to Visit this March. The Lymbar Located in the Ion development near downtown, the Lymbar is a sexy bar with some unique drink and food offerings.  I visited for happy hour and opted for small bites and a cocktail.  It's cute and will likely be a popular spot for Midtown/Museum district residents. Traveler's Table Breakfast bread pudding [...]

After a two year break, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo came back in full force with all of the events that Houstonians know and love.   I traveled a bit during rodeo season and of course shared with others on my trips about the events going on back at home.  Folks were so confused about this concept that lasts about a month and what it entails.   Back home, my followers had questions about joining committees and navigating the rodeo.   So I decided to break it all down here with a Rodeo Houston Recap sharing all of the fun things from [...]

A recent dining experience got me to thinking, do restaurants change their rules of engagement based on the type of patrons they have?  For example, if the spot is frequented by black folks so are we more likely to see things like automatic gratuity, dress codes and other rules that impact the dining experience? I am not reaching any conclusions with this post, primarily just sharing my experiences and those of my followers.  If anything my hope is that we can start paying attention to varying dining experiences and also be better diners where applicable. The Dining Experience So here [...]

When it comes to Houston grocery stores, I am loyal to NO ONE.  Depending on what I am cooking or craving, you can find me at just about any grocery store in town.   Plus, I grew up here so I've had almost 30 years of experience getting to know the grocery store chains here.  From posting my grocery store hauls on my feed I realized that a lot of you stick to one store and do not realize what you are missing.  So for this post, I am sharing the stores I visit and what I get from them.  Before [...]

*This post is sponsored by Kroger and The Coca-Cola Company but all opinions are my own* March is such a fun month!  We step out of winter hibernation, enjoy spring break and begin those social gatherings that will continue throughout the summer.  One of the other highlights for me is always March Madness! We all create brackets and cheer on our alma maters (MIZ!) as they fight to win the tourney.  If you are like me then you are likely to gather at some point during March Madness so that means that you will need some good bites.   Thankfully, Kroger has [...]

Ask a black woman about her hair and be ready to embark on a journey of growth, change and often self-discovery.   *Cues “I Am Not My Hair” and “Don’t Touch My Hair”*  IF she speaks candidly about her hair with you, the journey will likely include a few stops.  Some recurring nightmares around getting your hair pressed for Easter.  I think my ears are still deformed.  That first relaxer at a young age *wags fingers at our mothers.*  There will definitley be a story about her hair breaking off probably while in college.  It was the water in the dorms [...]
