Blondes vs Brunettes 4th & Goal Gala
I know, I know, I just got done telling you how you HAD to go to the Endless Beauty launch party (a crazy success, btw, photos and video here), and now I’m telling you about another event you HAVE to go to … the Blondes vs. Brunettes Fourth & Goal Gala, an inaugural Blondes vs.…
Blondes v Brunettes II
It’s probably going to be epic again. See last year’s inaugural Blondes vs. Brunettes recap here. This year, I’m QBing again, actually brunette, and ready to rock. The brunettes really are looking better than ever, and we’re only two practices in! There’s still time to join the team, click on the BvB Austin website for…
You Might Have Noticed I Was Gone … CrossFit Cert
When I travel, I try to make it appear like I’m here for your guys anyway … only sometimes it doesn’t work, like when I book a flight Wednesday night and leave Friday morning and don’t have time to put together some preemptive posts. This past weekend I was in Golden, CO for a CrossFit…
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…
A little neighborhood love: Randalls
My favorite ex-Texas-resident was shocked to discover a few months ago that Randalls is cheap. That boy buys the same things every week: sandwich bread, turkey, hummus, lettuce, avocado, tomato, milk, eggs, frozen berries, and some special items for dinner. The first time he went to Randalls for the usual grocery run, he called me…
TRIO’s 3 for $39 December Dinner is Tres Divine
It’s finally cold in Austin (for now anyway) and it couldn’t be a more perfect time to warm up with TRIO’s 3 for $39 December Dinner. They’ve been offering these amazing prix fixe meals for a long time now, and I’ve been talking about how amazing they are for some time now. But trust me,…
Turkey Creek = Happy Doggie
I love taking Nali to one of the nicest off-leash dog trails around, a quick 2.5-mile trail out at Emma Long Park called Turkey Creek (http://www.austinparks.org/apfweb/park.php?parkId=666). With recent rains, the creek was flowing quickly, the weather was a perfect 65 degrees, and my Vibrams were perfect water-mud-rock combo shoes. Nali, my beloved rescue mutt pup,…
Winner Winter Winner
When I asked for your fave winter clothes in exchange for the chance to win tickets to Sunday’s Shop787 event, I got tons of responses (and keep in mind that we’re Texans here), but here’s a sampling of my personal faves: Vic My favorite (new) winter clothing item would have to be my plum coat…
