A Professional Organizer’s Guide to Staying Stress-Free During the Holidays
Editor’s note: Last year, Amy Vance of Eco Modern Concierge joined us to share her holiday gift-giving organizational tips. Believe it or not, her wisdom inspired me to actually get my act together a bit more this season, and as a result, I’m feeling — dare I say it — quite relaxed! She joins us again this year […]
A Swanky Cocktail Party to Toast the New Year
It feels like a new hot spot opens in Austin every weekend (because it does), and our list of must-try restaurants is starting to get a bit out of control. After checking out Eberly’s bar for Landrie’s birthday bash last month, we were smitten, and couldn’t wait to get back to try their contemporary American cuisine in that stunning midcentury dining room. For our most recent girls’ […]

Why Talking About Your Mistakes Could Be Your Smartest Career Move
When I was 14, I marched into the house with my report card, tossed it in front of my mom, and waited for her to gasp and the column of perfect grades: A, A, A, A, A, A. But after a silent speed read, my mom glanced up and said: “Hey Lauren, this is great! But […]
8 Yoga Moves for Runners
*photography by Molly Winters Running outdoors has been a love of mine since I was a teenager, and it’s actually through running and my search for more flexibility and peace of mind that I found my way to a consistent yoga practice over 15 years ago. After all this time, I still find running to […]
Weekend Notes (and Win a Trip to Paris!)
Happy weekend, friends! Hope y’all are all enjoying that extra hour of sleep this morning. Phoebe came downstairs and climbed under the covers with us at 6:15am, but when I remembered that I’d actually gotten a full night’s sleep thanks to Daylight Savings, I hopped out of bed and was glad to get an early start […]
3 Ways To Increase Your Emotional Intelligence (And Why It Matters)
First things first: let’s talk about what emotional intelligence actually is. Because we’re all kind of wondering. On the simplest level, “emotional intelligence” starts with the ability to read the room. It’s a person’s innate sense of what’s going on beneath surface-level dialogues, and how the people around them actually feel about the situation at hand. […]
Weekend Notes
Happy Halloween weekend, y’all! So far, ours has been very full of frightful festivities: front porch decorating, last-minute costumes, and a few more cocktails than usual (and I may have downed two handfuls of candy corn at 1am last night. ugh.) Between all the revelry, I did have time to round up lots of links for you this […]
Jessica and Gary Wu
“Meet cutes” don’t get much cuter than the story of restaurant owners Gary and Jessica P. Wu. The two were living in New York when a rainy day (and a little bit of fate) brought them together at the ACE Hotel. We met up with the couple at their new restaurant General Tso’Boy at the Domain Northside to […]
Getting Dressed With House of Harper’s Caroline Knapp
Although Houston is only a two-and-a-half hour drive from Austin, sometimes it feels like there’s an ocean between us and the stylish gals in H-Town. Texas is a big place, so even though social media tricks us into thinking we really know our fellow bloggers a few cities over, it’s seldom that we actually get […]

Why You Should Have a Career Mantra
So there’s this largely forgotten film from 1999 called Bowfinger. Seen it? In the film, Eddie Murphy’s character, Kit Ramsey, has issues. Loads of them. But whenever he’s spiraling towards a breakdown, Kit’s therapist suggests he calm himself by repeating a personal mantra: “Keep it together. Keep it together. Keep it together.” K-I-T. I have a point, I swear. Crafting […]
Weekend Notes
Morning friends — happy weekend! After an action-packed work week, we’re savoring the loveliest low-key weekend around here. On Friday, Adam and I found ourselves with an impromptu kid-free evening, and I’d forgotten how much I love a cozy date night at home. We made this burrata salad, followed by poké bowls, shared a bottle of rosé […]
