The End of the 8-Week Everyday Tweet Experiment

Stephanie Quilao — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:53:59 -0700

I started Everyday Tweet back in April as an 8-week experiment in flipping and condensing my blog strategy. Basically I wanted to streamline my blog and Twitter efforts into something more 80/20. Well, the 8 weeks have gone by and I am here to tell you that Everyday Tweet will no longer be. It simply came down to the fact that as much as I love Twitter, I don't enjoy writing about it every day. However.... All is not lost. I will move all the Twitter related content over to The Everyday Blogger my blog about the behind the scenes...

Here are my new business cards, and they look like tweets. How cute and useful! The cards are 1"x3" and are easily customizable. Seriously, it is so easy to make your own cards that the most complicated thing you'll do is upload your picture. For my cards, I used my Twitter picture to keep the branding consistency, and pasted a snippet from my Twitter bio. On the back, is all the regular business card info including my Twitter address. There are two places, you can buy these style of skinny cards. I got mine at Zazzle.com. I really like the...

Via @Foodimnetary, today April 29th is National Shrimp Scampi Day. Last night, my brain must have been plugging into some vat of oneness because I got this wicked craving for Shrimp Scampi on spaghetti which mind you I haven't had in eons mainly because your typical scampi is made with lots of butter. But, I had a bag of frozen shrimp and frozen edamame in the freezer, so I decided, why not, and here in pictures is what I created. I don't have an exact recipe, but I can tell you the ingredients I used, and how I cooked the...

Dr. Seuss on Life Purpose: Oh, The Places You'll Go

Stephanie Quilao — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:37:13 -0700

For my birthday this year, a good friend of mine gifted me with the Dr. Seuss book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go! " Remember that book? The story really reminded me about the journey of pursuing your life purpose work. If you haven't read this inspiring piece of literature, you must, and quickly, here's why: The story will remind you of your child-like wonderment. It's good to be reminded of those hopes and openness to new things we felt as kids. Just because we're adults doesn't mean we have to lose those parts of ourselves. Seuss shares the realities of...

Mini-sizing the To Do List: Smaller paper

Stephanie Quilao — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:36:56 -0700

One of the sure fire ways to overwhelm yourself is to create a To Do list that is as long as a legal size piece of paper or to create some super Excel spreadsheet with color tabs and tables. A less daunting way to accomplish what you need to get done is to focus on mini batches of 2-3 things you need to accomplish and to make those items on that short list...well, short and to the point. The mini-me list One way I help myself be short and to the point is to literally write my mini to do...

In Pictures, The Slanted Door, Modern Vietnamese on the Wharf

Stephanie Quilao — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:07:21 -0700

In my opinion, two of the best months to visit San Francisco are April and September, and when you come here to visit, you must visit the Ferry Building as there are many incredible culinary delights in that place like The Slanted Door restaurant, modern Vietnamese cuisine, where I had lunch for my birthday yesterday. In fact, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were seen making out in the restaurant once. I mention this because The Slanted Door is definitely a great place to take a date especially when you're first going out. For example, if you have to wait for...

In Pictures, Blue Bottle Coffee and Miette Parisian Macaroons

If you come to San Franciso, you must get yourself one of the coffee drinks at Blue Bottle Coffee Co. They only use the finest organic, and pesticide-free, shade-grown coffee beans, and offer organic milks and soy plus whatever magic they add into their drinks. I had one of the most amazing Mocha drinks I've ever sipped, and was amazed by how frothy and thick a non-fat Mocha could taste. I enjoyed the decorative leaf made from the milk. In San Francisco, Blue Bottle has a Cafe near downtown Nordstroms, a kiosk in Hayes Valley, and a new store in...

I'm all about balance, and that means no deprivation. Life is too short to not enjoy chocolate. Here's a slice of vegan chocolate cake I got at my local Whole Foods bakery. (I have a type II milk allergy) I can enjoy this slice over two days. And yeah, it was that good.
