Katie and Esther are back with all the news you need to know. In the news this week: Philadelphia wants to tax high-income bloggers; how many there can be? Ticketmaster thinks you need to know something BEFORE you buy ticket. The U.S. Navy admitted that it lost something-- a renegade, unmanned drone wandered too near the nation’s capital.

Get Healthy!

Her company has only been in operation for a few months and she is already expanding, hiring another chef… and did we mention that GPK delivers? (“Spinach in your brownies?!”)
