Few months ago, one breezy day, I stumbled upon a French pasty store in Chicago. The first thing I saw were these sort of small sandwich cookies with different colors and flavors. I couldn’t help but ask to try one. I still remember, my first ever macaron was a passion fruit one. From that moment [...]
Last Tuesday I co-hosted a boat tweetup, thanks to @thelocaltourist, it was such a great time, we enjoyed amazing views of Chicago while enjoying the tastiest Mediterranean bites from Dawali and cupcakes from @GoddessGrocer. Guests walked away with a great goody bag too!
Thanks again to our sponsors, who filled those goody bags:
Bon Voyou

Last two weeks have been dedicated to using every power I have to spread awareness for social services agencies in my community. I’m sure most of you have heard about it from my facebook, twitter and the CNN iReport. I thought it would be great if all of the links for articles involved would be [...]
At the opening night of Fuerza Bruta I was there. Luckily I knew what I was getting myself into because earlier that day I was at the press conference and got a peek at the show. If you’re not as lucky as I am then I suggest you keep reading.
First, I’d like to recommend that [...]

Be sure to “like” my facebook page for details for upcoming tweetups! Of course, photos taken [...]

For the past five years I have had the pleasure of attending, almost, all of the Shakespearean works productions at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. It’s always a nice treat for me to be there. The Chicago Shakespeare Theater breaths life into the words I’ve read for so long. For a lack of a better word, [...]
Chicago weather teaches you to be hopeful. Last month I wanted to celebrate spring before it even arrived and therefore created #preSpringTweetUp at @MurasakiChicago. It was a blast!
Spring has arrived since then and I can’t wait till the summer starts. Summer time in Chicago is the best! One of the great pleasures it brings with [...]
If you’re a Twitter addict, like me, then I’m sure you’ve noticed the many many many #sxsw tweets. Some of us stare and wish we were there. Others, like @CalebGardner and @RebeccaDenison decide to take matters into their own hands and host a #NotAtSXSW tweetup. It was a !!BRILLIANT!! idea. What’s even better is that [...]
