Seeking Sunshine

I am suddenly having a yellow moment: I want everything I own to be yellow. Check out the citron I’m currently coveting (during covid*). Shop the items here. RIP to Hill City, aka men’s Athleta, which launched right before the pandemic so bad timing. 🙁 The entire site is 30% off, including the hoodie pictured…

Research List: Performance Yoga Joggers

It’s Texas, and it’s hot. But sometimes you don’t want shorts, and it’s too blazing hot for leggings. Enter, the grail I’ve been looking for: yoga joggers.

IN the vein of all the things I would have bought, there are two local Austin shopping events this weekend that I’m pretty excited about, and you should check out if you’re in town. Shaybazaar is a new site for ethically-sourced, handmade items. Kitty Cohen’s, if you’ve never been, is worth the visit alone: it’s…

The Things I Probably Would Have Bought

During my austerity experiment aka spending ban, here are all the things I probably would have bought—and a couple of confessions! Another set of amazing Costco bath sheet towels, because I don’t wash mine enough (so soft, so good, ON SALE for only $26!) Supps from The Genius Brain (should that have counted as food?)…
