Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is taking over Austin! They rocked the new Red River location (added just a month ago) and are adding a FOURTH, at The Domain, scheduled to open on February 26th. This is getting ridiculous(ly awesome). Also, this Thursday evening between 4pm and 7pm, sample a complimentary Café Mocha, Sunrise Ice…

Leggings: A Tutorial
Dedicated to my mom, who has abstained from leggings for over a year just because I said so. I just got back from a week in Colorado (blame the Vermonster), and I am pretty sure that I rocked the leggings/boots combo for over 50% of the time. Little-known perk of cold-weather dressing: you can wear…
Summit on the Summit + PUR Giveaway Winner!
This website is AMAZING: http://summitonthesummit.com. You can scroll up the mountain and follow the hikers, check all their vitals (Jess’ heart rate was at 88 last time I checked), see pics, tweets, and more. It’s really cool, check it out. But I know you’re all really here to see who won the PUR water filter…
UT National Championship Game Watching Parties
Obviously every bar in a 100-mile radius of Austin will be showing THE BIG GAME, and people will be out watching and hopefully celebrating despite the “BIG CHILL” of oh-ten. I will be in Denver, Colorado, also freezing my ass off because the only burnt orange I own is a t-shirt, and cheering and jumping…
Achachay! at TC’s / I am not so good at music
Imma let you in on a lil secret. I recently wrote about TC’s Lounge for Austin Monthly’s Cool Things issue, as it is an undoubtedly Cool place. I got most of my information on the joint from Achachay!’s drummer, one Mr. Ryan Greenblatt. While his sunglasses may arise a Stevie Wonder in you as to…
Beanitos?
Yes, this is a chip made of beans. And rice. Complete protein? Check it out for yourself at the Beanitos Launch Party: Tuesday, January 5 at 11am at the Long Center. Corn-chip-eating cow, WWF-inspired corn stalk versus bean wrestling match, and “kick the corn” football game are just a few of the all-ages activities. Plus…
2010 is the Year of the Pretty
It’s an inside joke, but it’s okay, you still get the message: 010 (“oh-ten”) is the Year of the Pretty. What Year of the Pretty means to me: I only wear my favorite things. And I give away the rest. (see: 6 grocery bags of Goodwill clothes) I only eat my favorite things. And I…
PUR Giveaway!
Your New Year’s Eve present could be a PUR water filtration pitcher! January 7’s celebrity climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro: Summit on the Summit features one of my fave “Actresses” of all time: Jessica Biel. Sure, she hasn’t done much since 7th Heaven and Summer Catch (with Freddie Prinze! another long-lost star), but that means she…
MooJesus! at EverythingJesus! Ranch
We picked this raw dairy out of a list of many (some closer to Austin) raw dairies simply because of its name: MooJesus! But perhaps it was some sort of divine intervention, as 1/2 of Team TLSP ventured to Seguin, Texas for raw milk adventures and ended up finding kindred spirits. Video footage forthcoming of…
Betcha wish you had this: The j’tote Colette
Merry Christmas Eve! I got an early Christmas present this week in the form of a sleek, structured laptop clutch from j’tote, one of my fave functional lines of handbags (previous coverage here). They sweetly left a bag on my porch for me to give a spin, and let me tell you–it’s far cooler than…
