Soo & the City Blog

Living in the 4th largest city in the nation, I believe Houston is one of the best cities in the US to live, work and play! I consider myself the average consumer, not so much a foodie, who likes to educate like-minded people on the overall experience of my continual discoveries of restaurants, shops, new real estate developments, social spots, and the neat little places to go for everyday living in the city of Houston. I love learning about new fun things in the city and I like to share those new, fun and helpful things with everyone I know. I've created this blog for people that like such things as well. Ok, hope you enjoy!

At Whole Foods Market is so good! People always comment how nice it is, subtle, light and tasty! Just the way I like my desserts! I know I have blogged about it before but thought I would post again just to emphasize how yummy it is.
