Lots of beer this weekend and every weekend following for the month of Oktober – OKTOBERFEST! I’ll be taking it easy and making some updates to the NEW GRIMYGOODS.COM! I’m actually looking forward to having a chill weekend and brunch with the girls on Sunday before we hit up the LA Luxury Chocolate Salon! Nom Nom! Being super busy isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be … you gotta remember to breath, and relax every now and then. Although, I REALLY wish my San Francisco teleporter wasn’t malfunctioning this weekend! 🙂

HAPPY FRIDAY!
