#AskHLuiz

We are bringing back the hashtag #askhluiz to the social media stratosphere. In your own posts and / or comments, if you ask a travel or cooking question that you want me to try to answer, use the hashtag #askhluiz and I may be able to answer your question. Please note that all #askhluiz question may be read by anyone and everyone so please keep it cute or keep it on mute. Your question may be published or posted in Eat Your Colors magazine and / or any “H. Luiz Presents…” media channels in order to answer your question to a broader audience.

Also keep in mind: I am a Travel Journalist and a Publisher. I am not a Travel Agent. You’d be surprised how many people (strangers and friends) ask me if I can get them the best rates for said hotels and resorts. Sometimes they ask me if I can book the cheapest airfare for them too. Or they’ll say/ask: I’m celebrating my [insert milestone event her] and I have only this much [insert amount here] to spend, what’s the best you can do for me? Uhm… what??

Most times, it’s just folks wanting me to do the research for them. Don’t they have the same search engines as the rest of us? Do they have time to price check and price compare their own travel plans? Because I truly don’t. Most places I stay are complimentary because they want content creation, create a video for them or feature them.

All that being said, do not use #askhluiz to make your travel plans and / or make your travel bookings. I am not a Travel Agent.

Christina Aguilera finished doing press and stepped out to say hello to some fans and sign her autograph to some merchy things, music covers, posters and to take a few selfies. It was pandemonium! I was so embarrassed to see more than a couple of my fellow journalists in the mob though.

We may be fans, but we’re supposed to be professionals. And here they go, acting like giddy fanbots- carrying on as such. Just ridiculous! Suddenly, Christina looked over her dark glasses- right at me. Maybe she recognized me from the press room? Did she think she knew me from somewhere else? She looked away to take a selfie, but looked up at me again. This time she smiled! I was transfixed. Was this really happening? Or did I just imagine that? But then, she went back to her adoring fans. And although I am a professional, I found myself shouting in my loudest voice, I love you CHRISTINA AGUILERA! Then I quickly coughed into my hand as if I just didn’t scream out her name… like a giddy fanbot! <sigh!>
