CLEMENTINE DAILY RETREAT

 The ladies of Clementine Daily and I spent last week in the paradise of Palm Springs.  Besides nightswimming and drinking tons of wine, we spent some quality time perusing around the desert in our Buick Enclaves and soaking up some much needed sunshine.   The getaway was just what we all needed and luckily I skipped some epic NYC thunderstorms.  

These women are truly amazing, and it was such a pleasure to spend a mini-vacation with them all.  Special thanks to THE VICEROY for such an amazing stay and SUPER special thanks to BUICK who generously gave us the opportunity to meet in the middle and cruise around in gorgeous and most importantly, AC & XM radio-equipped cars.  Totally made the LA > PS drive a lovely experience.

Feel free to follow our travels on instagram under #clementineretreat and #buickbucketlist.

SK Updates!

For those of you who haven't checked it out yet, I'm nominated for a SAVEUR Food Blog Award along with many other awesome, talented ladies.  I'm so excited to be featured (and noticed) for the Special Diets category ie. being gluten-free (in my case).  I'm honored to be included with so many fellow bloggers like Laura, Anya, Sarah, Kelsey and Shelly.  Special diets FTW ;) !
