This post is a helpful explainer as to why I still blog, however many years (decades??) later. Thanks for reading thisislifeinaustin/aspen/youaremycelebrity/xlyssa/all the iterations this blog has been!
Read Em’
- History major here. Fascinated by the concept that North America is truly 11 nations shaped by their cultures and backgrounds. Rings very true. May need to read the book now.
- It takes a lot to make me read a thread on twitter. I was LOLing through this one on email signoffs. I tried to pick a favorite to put here but there are SO many that had me giggling. In real life, I almost exclusively use “Thanks,” as my sign-off.
Eat and Drink All The Things
- Last Bottle Wine is marketing gold. Scarcity, discounts, and fantastic copy? I’ve already purchased twice.
- I bought gochujang sauce on a whim with NO idea how to use it. Then I had to buy kimchi to complement it. Then I had to google what to make. Here are 15 ideas.
Buy All The Things!
- OK I’m sure my childhood best friend who lives in San Antonio has told me about this store before but why did I have to discover it (possibly again) on pinterest? FELIZ MODERN has the CUTEST gifties.
- Stanely has cool products outside of the IG-influencer status cup (of which I own 2). I’m digging this pitcher set in a great sage green color.
- Am I SO FAR behind the trends? Bandolier is making badass iphone cases that make your phone your purse … is this THAT different than me sticking my credit cards in my $7 case??
- I love Rara’s quirky-cool rings, and their latest collection of tourmaline called Celestra is the epitome of cool. Obsessed with Una and Noveno.
Pack Your Bags
I’ve got 10 days off before we head to Paso Robles (tooooo many great wine recs!) and am trying to convince myself a staycation will do far more good than a trip. But … maybe just a lil road trip?
