Sweet Mother's Day Bonanza: Shabby Chic + Sweets Truck = Mother's Day Tea in Santa Monica!
May 2, 2010 | 
Author I dig The Sweets Truck. Don’t know what this is? It’s part of the new mobile food culture where you can get great cuisine (in all kinds of taste evolutions + innovations) and other sweet treats via food trucks. It’s the hottest thing going (See it locally here in LA? Stop and get something yummy! )
The Sweets Truck has partnered with Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture in Santa Monica and Lisa Gache of Beverly Hills Manners to introduce a true afternoon tea with a Sweets Truck spin.
The Mother’s Day tea, hosted by children’s etiquette expert Lisa Gache founder of Beverly Hills Manners will cover topics such as: tea attire & behavior, the gracious hostess, guest arrivals, making proper introductions, place settings, navigating the tea service, making pleasant conversation, saying good-bye and thank you notes.
Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture in Santa Monica is the ideal location with a relaxed California Chic vibe. Shabby Chic is a brand that embodies comfort, the beauty of imperfections, the allure of time-worn objects, and the appeal of simple practical living.
The Sweets Truck can’t imagine a tea without “mismatched floral china handed down from grandmother’s attic,” and found the perfect home for othe Mother’s Day afternoon tea at Shabby Chic’s beautiful location.
With scones made in the tradition of the British Isles by Wild Thistle, imported Devon cream and jam and organic Earl grey tea the afternoon tea will be combine all of the favorite traditional tea elements; In addition, tea will be accompanied by sweets from The Sweets Truck bakers.
The Sweets Truck’s, “elbows off the table and other things Mom taught you”, Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea will be a wonderful afternoon shared in the company of family and friends in a beautiful location that combines elegance, a relaxed California enjoyment and a beautiful experience you can share.

Corzo Premium Tequila Presents a New Twist on Tequila + Infusions + Cocktails.
Cocktails are experiencing a serious resurgence– after all I talk about them enough and come up with some interesting taste tests to sample them. *(hmmm does a Jamba Juice work with a berry or citrus flavored vodka? Or would Hendricks Gin or a smooth, infused tequila be better? Now that’s an interesting thought). I do get serious about my liquor though and I have a podcast with a rising star brand that you should know about and a few recipes to test drive.
The fastest-growing spirits brands, CORZO Tequila offers luxury with serious credentials along with a silky-smooth contemporary image that keynotes the concept of modern luxury and a legitimate quality story that separates it from the pack of other spirits in the category.
Created to take the category to a new level of refinement, CORZO Silver tequila is one of the few tequilas to incorporate a triple distillation process for an impeccably clean, ultra smooth finish.
CORZO Reposado and CORZO Añejo are the only tequilas to be mellowed prior to this third distillation, a unique method requiring twice the amount of premium agave as most brands. . The result is a remarkable tequila with the perfect balance of flavor and smoothness. Demonstrating a commitment to excellence unprecedented in its category, CORZO symbolizes a progressive step into the new world of contemporary luxury spirits.
