Who is Grocery Girl?
Grocery Girl is the "alter ego" of Nathalie Sessions, a certified nutritionist (who loves grocery shopping!), with a passion for food and health. Nathalie graduated in 1993 with a degree in business administration from University of St. Thomas in Houston. After enjoying a career in the media industry, she transitioned into health care in 2000 when she joined the Community Outreach staff at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. From 2005 to 2011, Nathalie worked as a research coordinator and curriculum specialist for University of Texas School of Public Health in Houston, Austin, and Dallas and as a nutrition consultant, while pursuing a second degree. Nathalie graduated in December 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition & Foods from Texas State University in San Marcos. In January 2012, Nathalie (happily!) returned to her native Houston for the spring Dietetic Internship at University of Houston. Her primary areas of interest include community nutrition education, worksite wellness, obesity prevention, school food service, and nutrition policy. More than anything, Nathalie loves teaching people about healthy food choices and the positive impact this can have on their health and well-being.

Early warning: Ringwalds return to the CC - one night only!

Spread the word!

Hey Kids,

Molly & the Ringwalds make their triumphant return to Houston's Continental Club (3700 Main Street, in midtown, between Elgin & Alabama) on Friday, July 27, 2012. The doors open at 7:00 p.m., the show runs till 9:30 p.m., and it's FREE.  Mark your calendars now because who knows when we'll be back? For all we know, this may be one of the last times to see us before the world ends in December. And even if that's a hoax, there are zombie apocalypses, Yellowstone eruptions, epidemics, meteors, global warming, God-particles, credit revolutions, and Kardashian offspring to worry about.

Best to be sure.

All the Ringwalds features you've grown to love and hate will be in full effect: Ringwalds karaoke! Lengthy stage banter! Dekan guitar solos! Requests ignored! Audience insults! The post-show Sam disappearing act! Carrie's drunk! Plus, a bonus round of 'Sam quit smoking, so who's he going to punch?' The answer may surprise you.

Looking at that list, it's a pretty tall order. We had better start carbing up now.

Your pals,
The Ringwalds
