They say it takes a village to raise a child – and in my experience, it also takes a village to throw a baby shower! Luckily as one of Austin’s most sought after wedding planners, Emily Leach has friends in all the right places. When she announced she was pregnant with her little boy Levi […]
With spring just around the corner, this girl is saying sayonara to sweaters and hello to sandals! Along with the wardrobe change, I’ve been welcoming the lighter, more refreshing foods that are synonymous with this time of year. I know what you’re thinking: donuts probably aren’t the first thing that come to mind when you hear the word […]
All signs point to it being time to move on. You’re faking sick, doing the bare minimum work, and dreading Mondays. But your job also pays good money, and you’re living an OK life on that salary. So you put off launching your job search week after week, trying to ignore the frustration you feel at […]
Occasionally leaving on a jet plane is essential to regaining one’s sanity—but before you get to reap the rewards of far-off vacation, you have to face the flight first. And, let’s be real, the actual act of traveling is anything but relaxing, for you or for your skin. It’s moments like this where I am […]
featured image via brandy melville usa The past few weeks, I’ve actually been making it into bed by 9pm with enough time to dive into a good book before turning off the light. I sleep so much better when I get some reading time in beforehand! This month’s roundup includes my new go-to weeknight cookbook, […]
Happy weekend, friends! It’s rainy here today, and I’m looking forward to a cozy day of cooking, errands with the fam, and closet organizing. Is it crazy that those activities make me feel so excited lately? It feels like a welcome break from the faster pace of the workweek — a breath of fresh air that gets me […]
When I scroll through my social feeds it can sometimes feel like I have the only kitchen in the world without marble countertops, built-in open shelving and a giant island. Of course I would love to have all of those things in my kitchen, but I also love seeing the unique ways people show their […]

The new month feels especially out-of-turn here in Texas, where the winter season was so brief and sporadic, that I didn’t even get the chance to wear half the outerwear in my closet. Then again, there are worse things in the world than the […]
Buckwheat is such a warming grain. It’s that deep nuttiness that makes a bowl of this porridge so calming. I know most of us start our days with bowls of oats, but sometimes I find them a little hard on my digestion. Buckwheat is technically a seed (related to sorrel and rhubarb), so I find it […]
We’ve never done a beauty tutorial on something this simple before, but when stylist Erica Rae showed us the “proper” technique for using bobby pins we had to share it on the blog. The collective “oooooh” that resonated from our entire team was proof enough that most of us aren’t using bobby pins correctly, and […]
“Seriously dip almost anything in this beet hummus, put it on top of a salad, add it to a sandwich, the list goes on. If you ever find yourself reaching for a sugar filled snack or even hitting the vending machine when you need a little something in between meals, try this recipe out!” — […]
When we announced our wellness-focused blog makeover last year, we knew it would bring with it all sorts of wonderful surprises. Since then, we’ve all become a bit more mindful, experimented in the kitchen more, and have been exercising more regularly (give yourselves a pat on the back, ladies).
