On Girls Night out this week Cairo and I talked about a girl who married her cat! We also wanted to know if you had a billion dollars what is something you would still never buy? We also talked about a secret bar inside a laundry mat and dog beds for humans! We also have a new recipe this week (Shrimp Stir Fry) as well as Cocktail which was inspired by Connie (Rye and Ginger) A new TV Show for this week (Peaky Blinders) Food For Thought (It’s a myth that people are either “left-brained” or “right-brained.”) and GIRLS NIGHT OUT TRIVIA ( 21% of us admit we’ve done THIS to end a conversation on the phone. What is it?) Have a great weekend!!
KELLY & CAIRO’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
- It’s a myth that people are either “left-brained” or “right-brained.”
- Blue-eyed people tend to have a higher alcohol tolerance than those with darker eyes.
- Twitter can handle up to 18 quintillion user accounts.
- Research shows that, for luxury brands, the ruder the sales staff, the higher the sales.
