I am Daycationing
I am laying by the pool at the Four Seasons on a Daycation. Yes, it’s overcast and not particularly hot, but I am determined to make laying out by the pool part of this experience, so here I am, clad in a new ViX swimsuit typing away at the laptop. What is a daycation? It’s…

See my previous post on TRIO’s popovers … But most everything TRIO serves is divine too, including free range beef tenderloin of…

The Perfect Four Seasons Brunch
After blogging about brunch at the Four Seasons in Houston, I had to make getting to ours in Austin a priority. So this Sunday, I brunched with a good friend at TRIO, the lakeside restaurant at the Four Seasons. It was a stunningly beautiful day, and we sat by a giant floor-to-ceiling window with a…
Four Seasons Lunchtime Spa Retreats
Lunch hour is the perfect time to re-energize the work day with a quick workout, walk around the lake, or meeting with a friend. Now the Four Seasons is throwing a new plan into the mix: a little R& R plus a deluxe Four Seasons boxed lunch. Afterward, you’ll probably have the most productive afternoon…
Four Seasons brunch
I went to brunch in Houston at Quattro, the Four Seasons’ restaurant. If the Austin Four Seasons brunch at Trio is anything like its sibling, I need to get there stat. I’ve heard it’s good, but seriously, if it’s this good, it’s high time we put it on the list of things to do. Quattro’s…
