It’s Thursday, and it’s beautiful out. Diffidently head out back to enjoy in near the comfort of your home. I’ve gotten a lot of emails from folks of doing great stuff. Let’s see what’s happening.
Brr this weekend. The beaches are opening for socially distancing, and the universe is sending a rare Polar Vortex.
Thanks Hunnies Crispy Chicken and Aversa Pr for including me in last night’s #PhillyDinesIn Influencer Dinner. I really enjoyed the Buffalo Fried Chicken sandwhich. Today I had the Chicken Tenders. I can’t wait to order more in the future. The best chicken and I’m not just cackling about it.

It was just over 2 years ago when Meek Mill was released from prison. One of the first places he popped up was a very public fashion show by his rumored girlfriend, the Milano di Rouge Fashion Show at the Shops of Liberty Place. Yesterday they welcomed a son to their family. Congrats to Meek Mill and Philadelphia fashion designer Milano. check out the photos from the fashion show here.
