*Except, ok, enough with the blue bell obsession. **Except, wait, I’ve lived away from the great state for 8 years and never realized … slime in the ice machine is a Texas thing?!
I miss you,

Effortless Hair with Number 4
Since I was given a sample of the Number 4 Sugar Spray ($22), I’ve been obsessed with it—helps give my hair volume and waviness like the beachiest hair, without any stickiness. I use it when I want my hair straight too, it just helps add body. One spray for beachy waves and/or volume?! Yes. So…
Eff Yeah Fridays! | The First Feel Good Friday of 2018
Y’all, Austin is still Austin. Thank god. This has been my longest return home since I lived in Austin full-time, and I’m startled, relieved, thrilled to find out that fundamentally Austin is still Austin. I thought I didn’t know it, but I do. I know the people, the friendly waves, the gravelly sands of Town…
Punapple, or Inspiñarational Athleisure [Austin]
I am crying with laughter at this new company I just discovered (ok, discovered isn’t exactly right, as the not-unattractive founder emailed* me … so here we are). The ATX Pinery features screenprinted tees with silly/fun pineapple designs—livin’ la pura piña vida, if you will. I love it because it’s hilarious, they love pineapple puns—PINEAPPLE PUNS,…
The Best Porch | Feel Good Friday 042916
Is it any wonder why all I want to do when I come home to Austin is hang out at my parents’ house? Raw milk lattes all day followed by great wine, food, and laughs all night. So grateful for this place I can call home, with parents I love.
Blunt Cut
I have recommended many hairstylists over the years, and perhaps that’s because my tastes have changed as my tastes have changed. Over the holidays in Austin, my family got to talking (read: gushing) about Victor, who cuts my dad’s hair and my brother’s hair and my cousin’s hair and all these other people’s hairs. They all…
Feel Good Friday 013015 | Health & Energy
My mom tells the following story about me that illustrates perfectly my gratitude for this week. Living in Austin, they brought me and my brother to Barton Springs pool for the first time. I ran up to the railings that overlook the natural wonder (pictured in case you haven’t seen it for yourself but NONE of…
Feel Good Friday 012315 | Puppy Love
This Friday, I feel grateful for Denali. You knew that was coming. But lately I’ve had this irrational fear that she’s going to die and LEAVE ME and I COULDN’T POSSIBLY HANDLE THAT. This dawg has been with me through 10 homes in 3 states in the past 8 years. She’s been through hot Texas summers,…
Feel Good Friday 122614
Feel Good Friday is a gratitude list I write each Friday—it gives me an opportunity to practice thankfulness as well as share some fun pictures in what has become kind of a week recap. That said, I am currently considering how to do it in 2015 … is this the best format? What else could…
