Aspen: Off-Season in Aspen
This is Nali visiting one of her fave people at a hotel in town. This may also be the first time she’s ever stood up on her back legs to greet a person not in my immediate family. We were just out strolling the town last night and stopped in to chat with said person…
Aspen: Well hello Matsuhisa, nice to meet you
The holy grail of Aspen food is UNarguably Matsuhisa. As in celeb-heavyweight Nobu’s little pet sister restaurant, the one Chef Nobu only opened for fun. You wait for someone’s rich parents or tourists to invite you to dinner there, and then you feel awkward the entire time because it’s so expensive and extravagant that you…
Austin: FREE Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Some day, I’m going to stop apologizing for always posting on Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. It’s just that they’re so GOOD, and so easy to work at or meet friends at or stop in at … I just freakin’ love them. Stop by after work today–or, if you’re like me, for your mid-day pick…

Boudoir Photography
So I’m doing an article for a magazine’s February issue (aw, Valentine’s day) on Boudoir Photography–you know, like glamour photos in lingerie … think Maxim. So I go to interview the photog and we’re chatting away about why women do it, what they feel like during, how it helps their self-esteem, whatever. Having a great…
Twin Falls
I mentioned that everyone should hit the lake/creek/pool this weekend, but I didn’t tell you about my fave spot. Now that it’s the week, I’ll let you in on my secret (it’s not all that secret, but we can pretend): There’s a magical place in Austin. It’s Twin Falls. It’s right off Mopac and 360,…
