Cross your fingers for me … we’re looking at a fab apartment in Aspen with a high bar-table … what some call “bistro sets.” Even if we don’t snag that apartment (apartments in Aspen are IMPOSSIBLE, btw), we could buy a sweet table (or at least part of one) IF we won the lifeinaustin/aspen giveaway…

25 Burpees
Woke up yesterday morning, rolled out of bed, and hit up my benchmark 25 burpees. 25 Burpees for Breakfast #100burpeechallenge from lyssa myska allen on Vimeo.
Nulo for Nali
I’ve mentioned Austin-based company Nulo before (Nutrition + Love, awwww!) but now that my lovable if slightly neurotic mutt Denali has tried Nulo (nulo.com), I’ve got more to say. The bounty shipped quickly: Two varieties of dry food, a selection of wet, and some treats. Nali, as I mentioned, is a smidge neurotic. Poor thing…
Austin: Four Seasons Dive in Movie [updated]
The Blind Side is ONLY my favorite movie ever. It has surpassed Top Gun, and nothing had surpassed Top Gun since I saw it in 1995. Or somewhere around then. Anyway, this fall the Four Seasons is hosting Dive in Movies (like Deep Eddy’s, only better, because it’s the FOUR SEASONS) where you can lounge…
Around the Fitness Horn: Naked Celebs?
Urgent Goal = Success (or why Anna Paquin is so hot–because she’s naked on True Blood all the time). What is my urgent goal? More to come on that. “It takes no talent to be in shape.” Read more football/life advice here. Fitness Is … yep, this is why we all do this This makes…

Austin: Dogwood Grand Opening
Everyone loves the Bachelor Bars (an article I wrote in 2007!): Molotov, The Marq, Chuggin’ Monkey, Dizzy Rooster, and Thirsty Nickel. In the old Mother Egan’s spot next door to Molotov, the brothers bachelor (Brad, Chad, & Wes Womack) and partner Jason Carrier have reinvented the pub with a distinctly Southern flare. They’ve been open…
Austin: TnT Brunch is Dynamite!
OK, that was the obvious pun, right? But brunch at Tacos n Tequila, in the Gables Pressler on 5th Street, is THAT GOOD. This is my plate at TnT.That’s ceviche, salad, fruit salad, mushrooms and yellow squash, polenta, migas, guacamole, and teeny-tiny homemade flour tortillas (heaven). These are the homemade sweet potato chips. Yep, sweet…
Austin: Cupcake Smackdown 2.0
Last year’s crazy cupcake party had us all smashed into One 2 One Bar on a hot summer day stuffing ourselves with sugar. This year’s event expands to Le Cordon Bleu, 3110 Esperanza Crossing Suite 100 and The Westin, 11301 Domain Drive. Vendors and activities located at the Le Cordon Bleu will be held indoors…
Nothin’ like a little crossfittin’ to de-stress
This week has been an insane one. Like, beyond normal I’m-really-busy-and-have-lots-of-things-to-do insane, and into I’m-walking-the-dog-and-burst-out-into-tears insane. It’s mostly of my own making, but nonetheless I am generally very good at keeping things as low stress as possible over here, but this week I failed. I wasn’t even sure I’d have time to work out today,…
