Austin: TiVO on the Town
I miss my TiVo. We got DVR because it worked out to be cheaper, but I miss the beep beep beep and the thumbs up on new shows and being able to order movies through amazon to my TV and everything else awesome about TiVo. If you love TiVo as much as me, you should…
Austin Bakes for Bastrop
I love cookies, and I love what the group Austin Bakes is doing with bake sales to support people close to home and far away (remember Austin Bakes for Japan? It raised almost $12,000). Saturday, October 1st from 10a to 2p, hundreds of bakers, bloggers, businesses, and consumers will unite for Austin Bakes for Bastrop, a…
How to Make Cold-Brewed Coffee
Because it is awesome. I blogged about Chameleon Cold Brew here, and I’ve just gotten word that Central Market started carrying Kohana Cold Brew Concentrate (the company is local and woman-run) too—it’s already a fave at Whole Foods. But I’m here to burst your bubble. It’s too easy to cold brew at home for you not…
Take Me There: Napa Valley
Despite my love for wine, travel, and the sunshine of California, I have not ever been to Napa Valley. Sad panda.

La Condesa…

Austin: Craft Night at Aviary & Legendary Beads
There are trifectas of awesomeness like the upcoming Charlie’s Angels remake with Minka Kelly (who didn’t love Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights when she picked bad boy Riggins to love?), then there are trifectas of getting things done, like Austinites Tolly Moseley, Candace Carlisle, and Cory Ryan—three ladies who know how to throw a…
Boys Cutting Girls’ Hair [UPDATED]
This post was originally meant to be about DeVille at Bella Salon, but it turned bigger than that. Sorry bud. No offense to the ladies, but I’m probably getting my hair cut by men from now on. They don’t even have to be gay. First it was visiting badass Vinnie of Proper Barbers LA, my “brother”…
