It me. I will soon be honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as one of Austin’s Finest at Backyard Ball, an event recognizing outstanding young professionals in my community.

Adult Kiddie Pool | Feel Good Friday 072619

I cannot wait to do nothing this weekend. However, I am grateful for all the fun we had last weekend, and for besties who assume other besties are coming too even if they’ve only met once. … and grateful for the sleep I got to catch up on this week and will continue to get.…

Sozy Babes

Warning: we’re approaching cropped tie-front button-down tank top overload. BUT it’s gonna be summer forever in Austin so I’m buying another one and I don’t care. It’s an awesome color and I already love the fit of my other Sozy cropped tie-front button-down tank top plus it’s got different buttons and is slightly different so…

House Projects | Feel Good Friday 071219

I did some stuff. Look at these house projects! First, I hung my stick on the wall like art. My brother came in and was like “Nice driftwood art!” I said, “That’s trash from your trash tree that fell on my house!” Which it is. But it’s also badass and looks badass on the wall,…

Dumplings | Feel Good Friday 062819

Now I have a new dumpling obsession after last night’s Luxe Magazine‘s Battle of the Chefs event where I ate Tanuki‘s scallop dumplings (they won the competition). I brought a couple of friends and my mom, which brought back so many memories of all the Orange Coast events I attended! Ah, a different chapter of…

nali | Feel Good Friday 062119

She’s fine, but nali got hit by a car on Friday night. After a couple of days on doggie opioids before her real vet put the kibosh on the smack, she’s totally back to normal. My gratitude for her health knows no bounds right now. My gratitude that neither of us was hurt is similarly…
