THREE GIRLS GOSSIP

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner! What do you love about it? How do you plan to celebrate? Here's what the Three Girls team is looking forward to: 

 

Erika: "I hate the tradition of pinching people if they're not wearing green on St. Patty's Day, so I wear green via a couple of faux strands of green braided hair that have 4-leaf clover beads at the bottom (pictured). Corned beef, cabbage and red potatoes are a must for dinner, and I've been known to throw back a Guinness or two!" 

 

Emily: "I have fond memories of corned beef and cabbage on past St. Patty's Days, so I like to try to eat it for dinner either on or around the holiday. My husband isn't as much of a fan, so we compromise by going to an Irish pub nearby and ordering lots of Irish Soda Bread with our meals." 

 

Beth: "St. Patrick's Day is actually a special holiday for me; it's the anniversary of when my husband and I first got engaged! This year will be our fourth 'engage-a-versary.' We like to celebrate this special day together at home and enjoy cooking one of our favorite meals: corned beef and cabbage. We stock up when the grocery stores carry it each year!" 

 

Natalie: "I usually like to go out to restaurants and pubs where they have green beer and green food. It's fun to have normal food in crazy colors!" 

CLIENT CHITCHAT
Have you visited Hotel Valencia Santana Row recently? What did you think of their brand new renovations? The luxurious establishment recently transformed several areas of the modern boutique inn by adding Mediterranean accents. The chic rooms feature plush bedding, an oversized television and tasteful interior design. 

Nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, Hotel Valencia has been named as a top destination on Condé Nast Traveler's Reader's List several years in a row and the hotel provides the perfect sanctuary for travelers in the midst of technology-driven Silicon Valley. 

Next time you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, make sure you stay at Hotel Valencia Santana Row. You won't be sorry!
