What to do on Wednesday
Wednesday this week is offering a doubleheader of athletic options. There’s always SoCo Run Club, the awesome run club I won’t stop talking about, but now there’s a new competitor: Wednesday pickup volleyball at Zilker. So, there’s a friend of mine who started the meetup.com volleyball group (you can access it through atxvb.com too ……
Free eco-friendly bags!
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…
Road trip to Steve & Barry’s
Okay, my road trip isn’t actually to the mass retailer, I’m headed to Galveston for a friend’s birthday beach bash, but on the way I have big plans for stopping by Katy Mills mall to check in to the Steve & Barry’s. Why? To check out $8.98 lines BITTEN from Sarah Jessica Parker, dear by…
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…
Free yoga class! at lululemon
When I was a wee intern at Shape magazine, I was in charge of organizing the fashion samples that came in. It was there I learned to love lululemon athletica, this super-soft, super-stylish brand of yoga gear. Apparently it’s more than just yoga gear, but that’s the styling it has. Literally, they use the softest…
artsy stuff is going on this week/end
Starting tonight, there’s tons of artsy stuff to do in Austin. There always is, but from Thursday night on, the city is focusing on it with Art City Austin. Tonight there’s a reception in the Second Street District to mark the opening of Art City Austin, with champagne and shopping. Doesn’t sound all that different…
mercury design studio
LOVED this store. I went by mercury design studio on Second Street today to do some research for an article I’m working on and I just loved it. If I had the money to buy hand-selected vintage chairs in perfect condition, I would. These are the things out of magazines. I mean, in the window…
