When designing Tidbits, we thought about what characteristics a woman about town possesses. What is she interested in? Where does she go? What does she do? We focus on creative women who are active, artistic, approachable and ambitious. If you are a cost-conscious woman who always wants to be in the know, sporting the latest fashion, going out to the hottest restaurants or listening to great bands, keeping up can be exhausting and expensive.
So we are volunteering ourselves to do the legwork for you. We'll do the window-shopping and point you in the direction of the fabulous deals, trends and hotspots. It's a tough gig, but for you, we're willing to sharpen our stilettos and hit the ground strutting.

Did you ever miss out on that huge sale at your favorite boutique or miss hearing that great new band play downtown? That is exactly why I started Tidbits. People were always asking me how I found such fabulous deals and if I would keep them in the loop. I wanted something in REAL TIME that would be a weekly reminder about hot restaurant openings, trendy clothing lines and boutique sales.
My idea was to create a website that looks like a magazine, broken into small articles that come in email format, like getting your favorite magazine piece by piece each week! I hope you enjoy receiving your weekly Tidbits as much as I enjoy scouting them out.

Words are my passion. Stringing them together in a way that makes someone laugh or sparks a conversation is what makes me…me. So when the opportunity to write for Tidbits came along, I was 100% in for the long haul. Getting to research and write about all of the new and exciting things happening in my favorite cities? Somebody pinch me. Our goal with Tidbits is to keep all of our beloved readers up to date on the best deals and delights around town. From forgotten faves to undiscovered gems, we’ve got ya covered. Thanks for giving me the best day (and night) job in the world.
Loves Steaming hot coffee, a killer workout, squeaky guitar strings, coconut anything, lyrics that change your life.

Okay, I admit it. I’ve got champagne taste on a beer budget. I mean, is there anything more satisfying than finding your dream dress marked down 50%? Never mind that it’s last year’s threads; a deal is a deal! So you can imagine my excitement when I met Pepper, who was launching a website geared towards gals just like me. For the past three years, Tidbits has been the love of my life, and now with the launching of markets in San Antonio and New Orleans, my love continues to grow and flourish. Enjoy!
Loves Coffee in bed, cilantro, summer, The Beach Boys

Mailing lists typically have me classified as a female. I’m not sure why, but it happens often. I guess maybe it’s because my name doesn’t strike the person inputting it strongly one way or the other. Because of this error in gender classification, I was once made the recipient of four copies of Sassy Magazine accompanied by their sets of “Goodies for girls”. That is how I learned everything I know about being a “gal about town.”
Anything else you want to know about me, you can probably find on Google. If you do decide to Google me, I’ll answer your question in advance: no, I was not one of 50 arrested on alcohol charges at a raid on a frat party.
Loves my iPhone, my wife.
Loathes "Loves and Loathes" that Pepper and Amy made me do. :P

I’m full of opinions, always the one to share words of wisdom or lend sage advice – even when it’s not asked for. I’ve decided to use my power for good and help give Tidbit gals opinions they want to hear – about an undiscovered boutique, new neighborhood restaurant, or can’t-miss-it event.

I know if you’re like most of my girlfriends, you’re a fabulous, hard working, style conscious woman that often feels overwhelmed with your multiple roles: career maven, hot mama, soul searching urban chic.

From researching new boutiques and charming cafes, to suggesting my favorite beauty treatments, I have made it my mission to deliver the hottest, the hippest and the most delicious tips to your inbox twice each week.

Overlooking the lush greenery of the Museum District, on the balcony of the Black Label Suite at the ZaZa opening, glass of champagne in hand, mind you, my dear friend said to me “I fall in love with this city more and more every day” and you know what? I think I do too.
There is so much to fall in love with! Any night of the week we can get dolled up, put on our stilettos, and hit the town, or stay in our old Citizens, and Kiwi flip flops and grab a cerveza. From world famous restaurants to hole in the walls that are all our own, Houston has it all. There is sure to be something you’ll fancy every night of the week and along with the fab gals of Houston Tidbits, we’ll make sure this is your go-to for anything and everything you’ll LOVE!

After graduating from UT and heading home to Houston, I came down with a bad case of what I like to call “having-to-be-in-the-know.” I was obsessed with rediscovering Houston, seeking out all its new charms and hot spots. Who can I trust to do my eyebrows and hi-lites? Which boutique offers my favorite brands? Where can I get amazing sushi? How about a great spot to grab a drink and sit outside?
One of my girlfriends from Austin who is a loyal Austin Tidbits reader suggested I start up a long overdue Houston Tidbits so girls like me could stay informed about all the things we like to do, see, eat, drink, indulge in, or shop for (on sale). Meanwhile, the stars were aligning. The buzz about Tidbits had made its way to DeDee, the brains behind a similar idea for Houston’s savvy shopping ladies. In no time, the two of us sat surrounded by lists, magazines, chai tea, and a plethora of unbelievable tidbits that we’re dying to share with every girl who’ll listen!
Loves Pineapple on pizza, the color gray, big dogs, crepes, making lists, Oprah, teeth whitening
