With the weather at sunny and 75, I was lucky enough to enjoy baskin’ in the sun in my backyard this week! Very grateful for my house house … host of Sunday night football watching, roaring fires, Monday nights reading books by a fire after a delicious dinner … This week was a tough one.…
Tomorrow’s Leaders is the young professionals group that supports Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and puts on events like Backyard Ball, where I was honored this year. I’ve joined the leadership council of the group and am taking on the responsibility of bringing on new members! Why join? It’s $65 for a full year of events, free…
011720 // Aspen: 1, Lyssa: 0 I returned from last weekend’s Aspen trip fulfilled with friendship, exhausted, and sicker than I’ve been in a long, long time. Like, sick enough that I fell asleep on the DEN>AUS flight in a middle seat without a neck pillow. Sick enough that I still haven’t eaten solid food,…
THE IRONY!!! My posts this week were pre-scheduled, and couldn’t have been more on-the-money for the daily events of my life. It’s a wild ride over here, folks, and my confidence in myself has immediately been tested. But I’m still confident. And the view is indeed better from the high road, so that is where…
“Appreciate yourself. Is there something you’ve been wanting appreciation for? Thinking you deserve? Don’t wait for someone else to acknowledge you, acknowledge yourself for what you know you’ve done.” Caitlin, today at BFree, during savasana Wow, ok.
What a jam-packed weekend and week! I know the holidays are usually a busy season, but I don’t remember them being THIS intense before. Nonetheless, let’s get to gratitude: The best Tanukiversary one year anniversary party ever! My amazing family and friends were there with 50 of our closest people we don’t know. It was…
“I wish we had a neighborhood spot. Where we could just always go, and it would always be good, and it’s good there or to-go …” … and then we walked into Spread & Co on a lazy Saturday afternoon and our wishes were granted. The space is warm, inviting, and a bit like if…
Y’all. The Chisos boots I’m obsessed with are every bit as amazing as I imagined—I got to try them on at their launch last Sunday, and holy Texas are they comfortable. Also, that party was a helluva way to launch a brand, entrepreneurs take note. Friday night’s Key to the Cure gala was also amazing,…
IN the vein of all the things I would have bought, there are two local Austin shopping events this weekend that I’m pretty excited about, and you should check out if you’re in town. Shaybazaar is a new site for ethically-sourced, handmade items. Kitty Cohen’s, if you’ve never been, is worth the visit alone: it’s…
Like my old neighbor in Aspen who woke up every morning, walked out onto his balcony, and sighed “Just another terrible day in paradise!”, so it is about adventuring with my friends. Honest question: Does everyone have it this good with their friends? Like, every trip we—whatever combination of my friends that “we” includes—take is…
