skoopaliscious begins......

I love to share information and connect people. My goal in creating this space is to share with others the things I love, have stumbled upon, or think you should know about. Places, shops, brands, restaurants, products, people that I want to sing the praises of. You won't find 'product recommendations' for items that don't take a lot of creativity to share. For example.....I will not recommend purchasing the latest Chloe bag, $700 pair of cult brand shoes or item pulled from the pages of the latest issue of In Style. Those types of e-newsletters, magazines, and dailies already exist. And frankly, you can figure that stuff out yourself!

My blog will help you find 'off-the beaten path' items, unique products and experiences and cool, inspiring people or places. I use the following criteria to find things to write about:

• affordable luxury-the subject of my blog must be cost-effective, meaning the average joe or jane can afford the item without breaking the bank (hence the 'no $700 ballet flats' recommendation)
• I always test-drive the subject of my blog....the recommendation comes from my experience

Check in for my weekly recommendations which will always have 3 parts:

• skoop man-recommendations for guys
• skoop woman-recommendations for ladies
• skoop family-fun for all ages

Thanks for checking it out!
