Honey Stinger Energy Chews/ I love you Lamar Odom

Klearly it’s going to take more to konvince Khloé Kardashian to kome to dinner than one blog post. It’s been 24 hours, I’ve yet to hear back from Ms. Odom or her people, and I am not happy about it. I really don’t wear desperation well, and I would just hate for Hollywood’s royal family to feel heckled or irked by my earnest pleas for a dinner date, so this will be my final appeal to Khloé and Lamar to join my friend Katie and her family for a meal at their home in Dallas.

This time Lamar, I’m talking to you: First I must admit that I do not really watch your basketball games. In fact, if I was asked to rate my level of interest in the NBA on a scale of 1-10 I would have to pick a negative number. I am more compelled by this crab than I am by professional basketball. I hear you’re a stellar player though; my dad and my brother often speak of your agility, accuracy, and overall athleticism. Though I’m not usually one to rely on second-hand information, if it means not having to suffer through four quarters of lay-ups and free-throws and mediocre halftime performances, hearsay will suffice.

But LamLam, lucky for me and every other 23-year-old girl in North America, you do not limit your TV appearances to ESPN! Nothing makes my day more than seeing you and your wife on E!, and between you and me, your wedding to Khloé was much classier than Kim’s nuptials/Quinceanera/celebrity block party.

I know you have a busy schedule. Between moving to Texas, devising game plans so the Mavericks will squash the Lakers when they play in February, and figuring out how to avoid an awkward game-day run-in with the man who was your brother-in-law for 72 days, you must be totally stressed. Take it from someone who understands. (So millions of dollars don’t depend on the height of my vertical jump…making photocopies is stressful too, Lamar!) You’ve gotta keep yourself focused and healthy.

That’s why I’d like to recommend Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews— particularly the pomegranate flavor. I used to eat these things like M&Ms in college, especially when I was studying in the library. With only 160 calories in every 10 chews, Honey Stinger chews are not only delicious and naturally energy-boosting, but also low-cal enough to allow you to eat as many as you need without gaining an ounce (if NBA players worry about that kind of thing…I know food bloggers do.)

Honey Stinger Chews are great for on or off the court– I love to eat them in the office– but if you’re craving something a bit more substantial, you may want to consider accepting Katie’s mom’s dinner invitation. I know yesterday I said she was going to be cooking a Greek meal, and I don’t want to grovel, but I bet she’d be willing to change the menu to whatever you want if you agree to attend. You can even bring Rob if you want!

Hope to see you soon!

Lamar doesn't need any help on the court...but if he's feeling a little tired after the holidays, these are the perfect pick-me-up!

 

Plocky’s Hummus Chips

A few days ago the news broke that Lamar Odom has been traded and will soon be leaving the LA Lakers to play for the Dallas Mavericks. The trade is probably good for LamLam; without Kobe stealing the spotlight he’ll finally get a chance to show the world what a superstar he truly is. And though reality TV princess Khloe Kardashian is reportedly “sad” about her inevitable move to the Lone Star State, I have some news that might cheer her up.

Khlo, keep reading…

Yesterday, my friend and co-worker Katie received the following email from her mother, who lives in Dallas, TX:

How can I set up a twitter account so I can invite Chloe and Odom for dinner one night? I am serious, would that be the only way to get a hold of her? If she doesn’t want to that’s fine, but I am going to extend the invite for a great greek dinner. I think she will come…..don’t laugh, I am being serious.

Now Khloe, in my very unprofessional opinion, I’d like to recommend that you accept Katie’s mom’s invite. In addition to the delicious food and the compelling company that I’m sure this dinner will provide, you’re bound to be lonely down in Texas without Mama Bear Kris and the rest of your krew, and I promise you that Katie’s family will make you feel right at home in your new city.

Kris Jenner is nothing if not a gracious host (I’ve seen her throw some elaborate dinner parties on the show!), so I’m sure she’s told you  that it’s impolite to  show up to someone’s house empty handed. Here’s where SkinnyOffice comes in to help you out.

Hook em!!

Katie’s mom is one of SkinnyOffice’s biggest and most valued supporters, and you Khloe, more than anyone, understand the importance of having great fans. So when you and LamLam head over to Katie’s mom’s for dinner, don’t forget to bring a housewarming gift for your Greek host. Let me suggest that you bring a few bags of Plocky’s Hummus Chips.These hummus chips make a particularly thoughtful gift  not only because they pay homage to Katie’s family’s lineage, but also because the Mediterranean-inspiration behind the chips is a nod to the Kardashian family’s Lebanese heritage. And as if these chips weren’t already great, with only 120 calories per 1 oz. bag, indulging in either the original or the red pepper hummus variety won’t force anyone at the dinner to stray from their diet.

So Khloe, good luck with the move, and hope to see you at dinner soon!

PS: Katie’s mom is also available for housing advice or just general girl talk. Khlo-get in touch!
