Thursday Pre-V-Day = tons of events

There are an exorbitant number of happy hours and events tonight, some because it’s Thursday and some because Valentine’s Day is a great excuse for free drinks and snacks, and to sell some stuff in some stores. No matter your leaning, take advantage of a plethora of Thursday-night ideas–and end up at Twestival! Loosely arranged…

Tuesday: Fun, Sexy, Strappy

It’s almost like the commercials for My Bloody Valentine (The Perfect date movie: fun, sex, terror), minus any terror. Collectic Home is hosting an art unveiling tomorrow night, so check it out if you’re into that sort of thing (details after I marvel over Aces Lounge’s new offerings below) … So who knew Aces Lounge…

BFFs love free stuff!

I can’t decide what to be excited about the most: a) Boy Band Karaoke (Quit Playing Games with My Heart was the first single I ever bought. Walmart, $1.99) b) Goodie bags!!!! c) $5 blowouts (gawd I love salon hair … Pink Salon!) d) Embellish Nails! (why am I so obsessed with them?) e) Girly…

Hello Tyson … free morning and afternoon screening

As if visiting a farm (see previous post) weren’t enough for a fun-filled Friday, the Carver is showing a free screening of Kings of the Evening, a Tyson Beckford-filled flick filmed in Austin! I’ve never been to anything there (though I attended adjacent Kealing Junior High), so I don’t know if you need tickets or…

Visit a farm!

I had lunch today with my absolute favorite foodie friend–the kind that will harangue waiters to find out where a vegetable was procured from, who can sniff a mulberry from a blackberry even smushed into gelato, and has the ability to detail how and where a cheese was made simply by looking at it (yes,…

The good thing about weddings is …

The good thing about weddings? Champagne and cake. Even better? As wedding season rolls around, there are a ton of events centered around weddings where you get to sample the aforementioned champagne and cake. YUM! Tonight, hit Second Street decor store Finch from 5-8pm for a mini-bridal extravaganza. Even if there’s no wedding in your…

Legally Blonde + Four Seasons = Perfect Match

Elle Woods wouldn’t want it any other way: In honor of the UT Performing Arts Center’s presentation of Legally Blonde starting tonight and running through Sunday (Feb 3-8), The Spa at Four Seasons is offering a Legally Blonde and Beautiful package.  The package includes an essential manicure or pedicure, a glass of pink champagne, and…

A few thoughts on Valentine’s Day

I love Valentine’s Day. I’m the girl who makes something for all her friends to show them how much she loves them and because she doesn’t want them to feel left out on such a lovey holiday (also, usually single). But I like that more than the stereotypical romantical Valentine’s Day–could have to do with…

Weekend Workout – Free CrossFit

You know how much I love me some free Crossfit, and while the boys at my fave CrossFit Austin have a sweet free Valentine’s Day workout planned (more on that later), I’ve got to tell you about CrossFit Central’s Under-The-Bridge workout. It’s way too early on Saturday morning, from 8:30-9:30am, but it’s an awesome introduction…
