Tiff’s Treats is a local legend among college students, famous for their deliveries of hot, fresh cookies. I had a friend whose date sent her a box a few hours before their date one time …. precious. Anyway, I’ve only had them once and thought they were good enough, but not just to-die-for like everyone…

Rumor Mill: Austin Restaurant Week
They do it in a bunch of other cities, and I think RARE magazine is endeavoring to bring it to Austin. It’s a week where tons of restaurants offer 3-course meals for only $25 or $35. It gives people the opportunity to try restaurants they wouldn’t normally try at affordable price points. Pretty exciting! The…
Gold’s Gym
I love going to the gym. So just know that before you read any further. Corporate gyms–and big corporations in general–get a bad rap in Austin, but I think there are some real benefits to chains like Gold’s and the like. In fact, I love Gold’s Gym. And here’s why … … Tons of locations.…

Deep Eddy Dive-In Movie
Okay, okay, I made up the “Dive-In Movie” part, they call it “Splash Party Movie Night,” which is just boring. And this picture looks like it’s from 1993. Anyway, summer Saturdays at Deep Eddy feature a movie projected onto a screen, which you can watch while floating in the pool! Freakin’ sweet. It’s a family…
J’Tote Bags
I wrote an article on J’Tote, a line of laptop bags from Austinite Jeri Barr, in the November/December issue of Texas Home & Living magazine, but it just occurred to me that I should put a link to them here too! They are super stylish bags with lots of room and tons of padding to…
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,…
It’s Hot Outside
… and I’m headed to Houston for a wedding, where it might be even hotter than it is here. Get yourself to some water this weekend! Hike the Greenbelt, go to Barton Springs (try the other side of the dam if you don’t want to spend the $3), go to Deep Eddy, go to your…
