I am grateful for Ginger Lynne, the Jeep. She has brought me on countless adventures throughout the beach cities, occasionally inland, one excessively chilly trip to Malibu, and off-roading in the desert only to be challenged by her return to the freeway (toddler temper tantrum). Ginger Lynne stroked my fragile “cool-girl” ego, gave me occasion…
You didn’t think I’d forget my thisislifeinaustin roots, now didja? I’m headed to my other home and am super excited to see my fam, chill, have a Victor haircut, fish with my dad, yoga, and maybe do a little shopping. Some research shows that anticipation is one of the best parts of a trip, and…

Here’s the faux-celeb part of my life—glitz and glam at OC Look 2015, hosted by Orange Coast magazine at a private residence in Newport Coast (where the real celebs live). The glam started with my gorgeous girldate and blowouts at Drybar, where they no longer serve champagne much to our chagrin, so we had to pop…

I mentioned a giveaway, but … never did it. Today is the day! Comment below with you best honey joke, or worst skincare story, or really…
They left me with sunglasses. Sunglasses that I love and coveted while they wore them, but still, sunnies. Now obviously by a-holes I mean my best friends and by leaving me I mean moving off on their own adventures and overall I mean that I am not bitter or jealous but extremely happy for their success and…
