BYOB is a good time

Working lunches are pretty much the standard for us. There isn't a lot of free time when you run a startup, so we make the best of it. Today, we really made the best of it. Our Social Media Queen, Taylor, told us that one of our favorite taco places in LA, Escuela Taqueria, was BYOB. Lightbulb! Margaritas and Tacos, you get the picture. We grabbed our Smoke Y Margarita Cocktail Kit, a bottle of Tequila and headed out for a "working" lunch. Escuela set us up with glasses and ice and...

Spring has Sprung

When I was little, my dad always used to say, "Spring is sprung. The grass is ris. I wonder where them flowers is..." It used to make me so happy.  It was such poor grammar from someone who always cared about that kind of thing and yet it spoke so perfectly to the way I felt.  It was warm(er) out.  It was technically spring (according to the calendar), but there weren't yet any flowers.  And the blooming flowers were by far my favorite part.  They still are.  Whenever I go...

Other than the P&G, you can find all of these ingredients in our Spiced Apple Toddy Kit available...

Surprise!

This is kind of old school, but remember the days when your favorite magazine subscription came to the door(or maybe not so old school?). You had no idea what day it would arrive, but you could always count on it being there. And when you least expected it, there it was. Shiny and new (sometimes not), waiting for you to tear through the fashion, home design or recipe pages of the season. It felt like a gift, a surprise, just for you. And you were psyched. Currently, there are ALL different...
