OMG LOL CUTE OVERLOAD. Um, I love my pup. And I REALLY love her adventuring out in the snow for the first time! We’re in Aspen with the Vermonster, so we’re both adjusting to frolicking about in snow and cooooold weather. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Z6mqc8Knc] Hunter boots. Fashionable, but not warm in the snow, even with hot pink…

You can stop hearing about CrossFit now …
Well, that’s probably a lie. But I’ve started an entirely separate blog just about my training for CrossFit, so I’ll at least be mentioning CrossFit LESS on this blog … Check me out: www.xlyssa.com You can now return to your regularly scheduled life in Austin updates.
Obligatory Valentine’s Day Post
Only because my google stats are telling me that everyone is getting to the blog via last year’s post, so I figured I needed to update it. Go here for a hilarious article on alternative Valentine’s Day ideas. Bonus points if you can figure out which suggestion was mine … As for me? I’ve got…
What the X?
x lyssa is a CrossFit blog … yep, another one of those! One of those where I talk about what my workout was, how I felt, what I ate before, or after, how much I slept, how much I hate burpees, how sore I am, how awesome I feel… yep, it’s a CrossFit blog. However,…
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…

You Might Have Noticed I Was Gone … CrossFit Cert
When I travel, I try to make it appear like I’m here for your guys anyway … only sometimes it doesn’t work, like when I book a flight Wednesday night and leave Friday morning and don’t have time to put together some preemptive posts. This past weekend I was in Golden, CO for a CrossFit…
Only in Austin: Balcones Burner Bash
Early alert! Balcones Recycling is throwing a crazy-cool only-in-Austin graffiti art contest on March 6. It’s at their recycling facility on east 6th and a dozen artists will each get half of a railcar to create a mural with an environmental theme–created with choices from 250 colors of donated spray paint. The cash-money winner will…
Sidewinders: Leather Layers
One of the essentials to dressing in Austin is layering. If it’s cold outside, it’s hot inside; if it’s hot outside, it’s freezing inside. We Texans don’t do happy mediums, we do extremes. Luckily leather is great choice–almost seasonless, it’s the first piece into your closet in winter and the last out in the summer.…
