Today being Earth Day and all, area HEBs are passing out free reusable bags in exchange for just 5 plastic bags! Stop by from 3-7 and become a part of the reusable bag trend. I have about 7 reusable bags, mainly because once I bring them in the condo it takes me awhile to remember…

Networking happy hours
As I have experienced the business world–and do take into account that my business is the media–I have come to the conclusion that it is almost entirely about who you know. That said, if you know someone but the quality of your work is shoddy, it won’t help you at all. But frankly, if you…
SkinBella facial = so-so
Maybe I’m biased because I don’t really have problem skin, but my spa week treatment was not as exciting as I had imagined. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really realize that my SkinBella “facial” was a microdermabrasion treatment instead of the exfoliating-masque-extraction-moisturizing facial I was thinking of. milk + honey itself was nice enough, if…
Spa Week!
Spa Week is somehow little-known, but it’s amazing! Spas present several of their (normally very expensive services) for just $50! It’s to promote awareness and hopefully hook you on spa visits, but for me, it’s going to be my first facial. Four Austin spas are participating: milk + honey (2 locations: downtown & hill country…
Monday March Madness
Except that it’s actually April. Tonight is still the championship game in college basketball, and with a Big 12 team in the final–Kansas–against a southern team–Memphis–and the game being played locally–San Antonio–I’m guessing tonight will be a busy night in the sports bars. Strangely enough, downtown/warehouse district sports bar Ringers abruptly closed its doors last…
Thursday: Fashion Fashion Fashion
As many Thursdays go in Austin, there plenty of happy hour events to stop by for free food and drinks. It’s easy to eat/drink freely here! Here are my top two happy hour events … Both feature free food; one features free drinks; both are see-and-be-seen affairs. Fashion Lounge at Pangaea: if you ever wanted…
Recaps! + What’s up on Tuesday
Be sure to check out the marketing agency blog I’m writing for this week! http://dn3sxsw.wordpress.com/ Last night was lots of fun. We got to see the premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, after waiting in line for only an hour, sitting in the far righthand balcony of the Paramount. It was cute. My friend loved it,…
Monday’s Agenda
A rundown of my SXSW affairs… luckily, a good friend is a teacher and has Spring Break this week, so I have a constant partner in crime. Unlike Wednesday on, today will mostly feature night parties. My first priority is getting into the Forgetting Sarah Marshall premiere, because it’s just downright ironic how much the…
SXSW crazy!
I just completed an eight-page spreadsheet with over 125 parties listed for SXSW, all free or RSVP/invite-only, where there’s an actual place to RSVP. I’m pretty excited. And tired. Good sources for SXSW info: FYR – super awesome, with interactive map; unfortunately lists wristband-only parties as well … a lot of other sites take this…
New Jeans … not Apple Bottom
My boyfriend constantly asks me if I own Apple Bottom jeans (thanks a lot, Flo-Rider, for making that song that says “Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur,” that is on some radio station in Austin at any given minute during the day). “No, I don’t need to. I do not have an apple bottom,”…
