Happy Friday and cheers to the weekend. I hope your week is finding you at the best possible place. With that being said, here are a few things to look forward to. Before we go ahead let’s talk about the things that took place this week.
Garces Trading Co Media Party Friday Review
So on Wednesday not only did I attend the Grand Opening of the Garces Trading Co I also went to the Media party later that night. It was a lot of fun. From the food selections to the drinks, no one left hungry or thirsty. Garces Trading Co located in the Kimmel Cultural Campus is a welcomed addition.
Whether you start your day at 7:30am and do your work, grab a coffee, stay for lunch, or grab a drink they will greet you with great customer service and more. Also on days that there is a show, it will stay opened one hour beyond the show’s let out. This way if you need a nightcap or cocktails to talk about what you saw, you can. It’s aesthetically beautiful and welcoming. Make sure you check it out.
Tinsel Takes Eagles
We all should know by now that the Eagles are hosting the New York Giants this weekend for the Playoffs. With that being said, Tinsel which is known for amazing Halloween and Christmas vibes has transformed themselves into the hottest places to drink and watch the game.
I am impressed with the space. It will be a fun place to grab drinks and really take in the vibes. Just like with their Halloween and Christmas pops, it’s head to toe Eagles inspired. Tinsel is located on south 12th street. Go out and have a great time.

Weekend Self Care
I have a few media events to go to. I try to limit weekend media events as they take me away from my family. However I did enjoy a few weeks of no weekend events and I am ready to get back into the groove. What are your weekend plans? Does it include some self care? It should. Between media events, a hang out with friends, Uber Parent life and more, trust me I plan to add a few moments of self care.
Between my new crossword puzzle and more, I plan to really indulge in some relaxing. Well that is it for me for the weekly recap. Make sure you follow me on social media as I have content loading all weekend long. Happy Friday and made this weekend a great one.
