The lovely Jennie of MisoHungry Makes it With Moonshine has posted a fantastic description of the upcoming St. Arnold’s Pub Crawl. For those who don’t know, St. Arnold’s is a Houston brewery started by a couple of Rice grads … so needless to say, I drank my fair share of free St. A’s in college.…

Sushi sushi sushi
Mmmm sushi. I love it. Just wanted to revisit two of my absolute faves in Austin (an no, I still haven’t been to Mushashino or either of the two new down south sushi joints. I know, I have a lot of sushiing to do.) Snow Pea I’ve written about it as my secret sushi spot…
It’s Bikini Season! Wait, no it isn’t …
… but I got into some hot springs today (in my fave swimsuit from Vix–the hottest!) and I’m freezing my ass off, so it’s the time of year to start thinking about bikini weather, and dreaming about it, and perusing Victoria’s Secret’s 2010 Swim catalog, knowing it’s best to hold off another month or two…
This is Life in Aspen?
OMG LOL CUTE OVERLOAD. Um, I love my pup. And I REALLY love her adventuring out in the snow for the first time!

Blazers! Blazers that don’t suck, that is.
Blazers are SO EASY. You just throw one on with a basic white tee and some jeans and you instantly look awesome. Well. You instantly look awesome if your blazer is good. If your blazer sucks or is boring, you look like you threw one on with a basic tee and jeans and thought you’d…
Skin by Ann Webb
I love Trisha. She pads out of a back room in cute sweatpants and a vintage tee and says, “Ready?” It’s time for my first facial (this one wasn’t that good) at Skin by Ann Webb, a place I’ve grown to love as I’ve gone for some laser hair removal on the recommendation of not…
