Candace Holloway Gregory, UncommonGoods Senior Merchant Manager<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

My hometown is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nSherman, TX (GO BEARCATS!)<\/p>\n

My favorite product that I\u2019ve brought into the assortment at UncommonGoods is\u2026<\/strong>
\nThat is a hard one. I love them all! I guess I would say the MOLECULAR GASTRONOMY KIT \u2013 CUISINE<\/a>. I did a gift lab<\/a> on the product and had a BLAST making all the different dishes with my friends. I\u2019m not much of a cook, but I felt fancy doing all these complex food alterations in the kitchen. (Secret: the kit makes everything super easy.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong>
\nI\u2019m inspired by my friends and family every day.<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026<\/strong>
\nThe television show So You Think You Can Dance<\/em>! And I will scream it from the mountain tops. I have been a die-hard fan from the first season, first episode. I like to think I can dance and critique like I know what I’m talking about. But my dance experience is…\u0085ummm…\u0085pretty much zero. LOVE EVERY SECOND OF THAT SHOW.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nI dabbled in acting. Lots of people thought that is why I moved to NYC, but I never wanted to have a career as an actress. I just wanted to live in the greatest city in the world!<\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nAnother hard one! Vinegar Hill House<\/a> is simply delicious. We usually go for \u201cspecial occasions\u201d so every time I have gone I have left with great memories.<\/p>\n

My style is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nSimple and comfortable\u2026in fashion and decorating.<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nI have learned a lot about sustainability and B Corps<\/a>. I am very proud to be a part of a company that cares so much about their customers, employees, and community. I also learned how to ride a bike in NYC. I still hold my breath going through busy intersections but I’m getting more comfortable every day.<\/p>\n

Would you rather\u2026 Entertain guests every night for a week OR spend a whole week all alone?<\/strong>
\nI guess I would have to go with entertain guests every night for a week. My husband can put together an amazing party platter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
