This week, Kassie and Rose are joined by Pablo Murillo, the co-founder of Aguas Locas, a pandemic born aguas frescas company, and Bar Nuda, a mexican inspired N/A bar event that allows everyone to enjoy the fun of a night out without any pressure of alcohol.
Pablo shares his passion for creating safe spaces to celebrate his culture and community, and how he brought this idea he started in his garage to fruition, with the help of his co-founder Morris.
Kassie laments that as an adult, almost every event tends to be alcohol centric, and how she would prefer to have the same amount of care-free, childlike fun without needing a little liquid courage. Rose gets very excited about all the different offerings that Bar Nuda events have, and even tries to pitch adding hopscotch to the never ending list.
Aguas Locas is now partnered with MLS Div 2 Team - Ventura County Football Club! Check them out at all home games!

This week, Kassie and Rose are joined by Catalina Flores, the brilliant creative behind Panhead LA, creating drool-worthy grazing tables and dessert spreads that are part pastry and part art.
