Hello all! Guess what? There’s this movie that’s coming out this Fall. It’s a workplace comedy set in Los Angeles starring me and someone else awesome that shall have the title of intern! Haha. See what I did there? All right, all right let’s just go ahead and get to business.

Here are the deets:

Hiring a part-time intern (10-15 hours/week) to work on ongoing projects for both Bottle Stock and Whitney A. Needs: basic photoshop and writing skills, a car, a sense of humor, to love wine/cocktails/food, the ability to organize, to be proactive and to think outside the box. A great opportunity to learn about all things wine, creating online content (videos, blog, writing), building a brand, marketing and PR, product development, and managing a small retail/wholesale business. Local LA hire only. Will work mainly onsite at home office as well as some offsite hours. Unpaid (school credit if applicable), with potential for paid events.

Email resume and cover letter (and anything else of relevancy/humor) to whitney@www.whitneya.com. Thanks!

Hangover Hydration

Sunday, May 18, 2014 3 No tags 0

Monday mornings for me are all about getting my body back on track. Because we all know that on the weekends one can stray from the virtuous path of kale and coconut water. Like get lost somewhere 30 miles off the freeway kind of stray. So, at the beginning of the week I like (and need) to reset, energize and hydrate. LOTS of hydration necessary.

I don’t own a juicer. I also don’t want to buy a gazillion pounds of veggies and fruit every week to make juice. I recently discovered Aloha, which is green juice in powder form. I honestly thought it was gonna be gross, but I find it surprisingly mellow and drinkable.  I can pop one in my purse on the go and add it to any beverage I want. I prefer to just use water, but it’s a great addition to a smoothie too. I really like the company, how they operate, and the ingredients used. And I was not paid to say any of those things. I’ve also been drinking a giant glass of room temp lemon water every morning before I do anything else. I think this will remain a permanent fixture in my daily routine. It wakes me up and get things moving.

FYI – I must mention that I am obsessed with Zico chocolate coconut water. It’s the only thing I like to chug when I am super hungover. That and a liter of sparkling water and I’m golden. Wait. That and a liter of sparkling water and a cheeseburger. Thanks.

New Orleans, Again

Wednesday, April 30, 2014 4 No tags 0

Welp. I leave for New Orleans in a couple of days and couldn’t be more pleased as punch about it. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Nola once a year for the past 4 years. I feel a special little bond to the city and its denizens, as most people do upon visiting. I mean how could you not? Now that one of my best friends decided to up and move there (so jealous it hurts), I have even more reason to fly my ass out there. And to love it even more. To get myself amped up for the trip, I took a walk down photo memory lane. Here are some photos from visits past that I love, each one revealing a different kind of feeling that The Big Easy gives. And if anyone can tell me what’s going on in that flaming photo down there, I’ll give you a prize mad respect.
