This marks the FOURTH weekend IN A ROW that I’ve been in Austin, without plans. This is (the last weekend) a record since I moved back, and probably a record for a long time in wherever I called home. It was very intentional, and it’s been very, very fun—but, actually really challenging as well. It’s…
When Marriage Certificate Trio came to visit with 15-month-old baby Hat and a penchant for outdoor adventures (their wedding), I was worried about how to showcase this fair city. But consider the Mission Accomplished. Thursday Downtown vibes. Had to stop by CU29 for an alumni happy hour, but fell in love with the $6 Old…
This gratitude list was meant to be about my Marriage Certificate Trio visit—for which I am still obviously exceptionally grateful for—but this week contained so much more… How is it possible only 7 days have passed since the last Feel Good Friday? Last weekend was a marathon, epic Austin weekend (sans ANY visits to bars—hooray!).…
Over the weekend, my dad and I engaged in what I lovingly call “prison labor”, where we move stones around my backyard. This time, we were moving half of my limestone patio to the other side of the yard to claim more grass and build a patio from my house out my giant sliding glass…
Love! I love the rhythms of life. I love morning coffee. I love sunshine. I love my gym. I love the bouldering gym/coworking space/yoga studio. I love yoga. I love my house. I love my yard. I love my patio. I love working remotely. I love my dog. I love my friends. I love my…
I’m off to Mammoth for our second annual Super Bowl weekend ski trip! I was asked recently what my hobbies are and the first thing I said was “travel!” followed closely by “and gym, yoga, playing sports …” but if you look at my calendar, it’s basically all travel all the time. It’s exhausting. But…
As the tagline fo this site is ‘Glitz, Glam & the Gym’, it seems only fair that we touch base on The Gym. Going to the gym is truly playtime for me. Following programming and not having to think up my own workouts makes it even more like play, especially because I’m always learning new…
This is how this blog began so many years ago: me posting cool events (most free; this one isn’t) in Austin because I felt like no one else knew what was going on. These days, I don’t feel very plugged-in to the restaurant scene, nor do I think I really want to start posting events…
You’ll have to forgive me for indulging in some good ole fashioned nostalgia because this year was a freakin’ doozy. SO many amazing trips, the year split by a big move, the most perfect scenario of moving next door to my little brother … the most amazing people in my life … 2018 is GOOD…
Because it took two months to pick a birthday present (this Heist leather bar necklace & fringe cuff), I started this list in November—and also because, well, I maybe went a little overboard shopping for the house and need to curb my spending stat. We’ll just rely on the promise of Christmas gifts to keep…
