Whole Foods Market Love Local Tasting Event

Whole Foods Market-Love Local Event-Food Tasting-Chef Melissa King-Bay Area Events-Have Need Want 10

Last weekend I was invited to a tasting event at Whole Foods Market in Santa Clara where Top Chef Melissa King prepared an amazing tasting menu using local produce. I brought my friend and photographer Jess along with me. The meal was delicious, and the event was both fun and informative! It was very interesting to hear about how local vendors are selected to be in Whole Foods Market and what those vendors are doing to stay at the top of their category.

I am a huge fan of Whole Foods and love all the local vendors they highlight in their stores. It was fun to see Santa Cruz represented with Bonny Doon Vineyards. I love their Rose and I was happy that I got to go home with a bottle! This was the first influencer event I’ve attended in a really long time and the first one I’ve been to without Mason since he was born. The only other event I went to was at Santana Row for Donald J Pliner’s Spring 2017 collection.

Being a new mom it’s still hard to attend these events over the hill in San Jose or San Francisco but I am trying to make an effort now that Mason is almost one to get back into attending more events because like this one at Whole Foods, I left feeling so good. Me time is always nice to have and being in an industry like blogging meeting new bloggers and being around old blogging friends makes me feel invigorated and inspired.

Can I tell you a story? One thing that I was hopi Can I tell you a story?

One thing that I was hoping to get while at Disneyland was their limited edition silver drip 100 year Minnie ears. I was unaware that they were available for pre-order at the new year (otherwise I totally would have gone that route) and so when I saw they were sold out online I figured the only way I was going to be able to get a pair was during our visit to the parks. The resale market has them going for $400, $500, $600 which is absolutely insane! I knew they retailed for $175, which is already pricy for a pair of Minnie ears but I loved the look of them. 

Well, it turns out that they were completely sold out of them by mid January and they had no intention of making a second batch which made me super duper disappointed. So I’m putting it out there, in case anyone wants to hook this Disney loving mama up. If you were lucky enough to get a pair of the Disneyland, 100 year Minnie ears and are no longer wanting to have them in your collection, please reach out to me as I would love to purchase them from you!!
