Today in retail you never knew was happening, I stumbled upon these CODE Hex Caterpillar sneakers that look like they came from a high-end fashion house, not the dirty corner of a construction site. At a mere $60 a pop with unisex sizing and leather uppers, these are a true hidden gem. And if the…
With the weather at sunny and 75, I was lucky enough to enjoy baskin’ in the sun in my backyard this week! Very grateful for my house house … host of Sunday night football watching, roaring fires, Monday nights reading books by a fire after a delicious dinner … This week was a tough one.…
Tomorrow’s Leaders is the young professionals group that supports Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and puts on events like Backyard Ball, where I was honored this year. I’ve joined the leadership council of the group and am taking on the responsibility of bringing on new members! Why join? It’s $65 for a full year of events, free…
011720 // Aspen: 1, Lyssa: 0 I returned from last weekend’s Aspen trip fulfilled with friendship, exhausted, and sicker than I’ve been in a long, long time. Like, sick enough that I fell asleep on the DEN>AUS flight in a middle seat without a neck pillow. Sick enough that I still haven’t eaten solid food,…
THE IRONY!!! My posts this week were pre-scheduled, and couldn’t have been more on-the-money for the daily events of my life. It’s a wild ride over here, folks, and my confidence in myself has immediately been tested. But I’m still confident. And the view is indeed better from the high road, so that is where…

But I’m working on showing myself loving kindness in transitions, as they’re as much a part of the practice…
Vulnerability breeds confidence, and so it follows that 2020 will be the year of confidence for me. After a long journey through a lot of self-questioning, I’m emerging very comfortable with who I am. Feeling calm, cool, collected. Confident. I may not—definitely do not—know exactly what I want (aka I do not have, er, 2020…
I am so grateful, for this most trying, amazing, high and low, peak- and valley-filled year. I am grateful for this absolutely ridiculous Christmas week, which saw me bounce from San Antonio to Sonoma to Houston back to Austin in just 6 days… San Antonio generations girls getaway at the gorgeous Hotel Emma in the…
Compliments. What anyone wants out of their outfits is compliments. I LOVE to shop, but have been trying hard to pare down my closet and not spend money, two goals that are NOT in line with a shopping habit. And yet, I’ve never even tried Rent the Runway Unlimited, or any of the brand-specific monthly…
The last friend Christmas party turned into backstage at EDM show… The “slow” week turned into long days and a big presentation at work… The manis from ManiMe continue to impress, transforming how this girl sees nails and nail art… The hilarious texts I get from my friends continue to make me so happy and…
