When we think about setting “yoga goals” for ourselves, they often revolve around achieving certain poses — arm balances, inversions, you know the “fancy” ones. But how many of us strive to totally nail tree pose? Or hold a side plank for 10 breaths? My guess: not many. A lot of the yoga instructors I know would […]
Ask any Austinite: Fresa’s is the place where you go to get the best chicken in town the world. You can order a half or a whole chargrilled bird at the cutest drive-thru window you’ve ever seen, and it comes wrapped in butcher paper with grilled onions and peppers, beans, rice, and warm corn tortillas so […]

We’ve touched on it here: TMI issues, increased anxiety, and comparing ourselves with others, and there have been countless articles about effects on self esteem, relationships, and our abilities to focus. And as much as it’s […]

Even though Easter is less than one week away, we like to think that most of the design elements and recipes associated with the holiday can be repurposed all spring-long. That means that even if you don’t celebrate Easter or if you’re not hosting this year, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll still find today’s brunch inspiring: […]
I can still remember looking out the window of my childhood home and recognizing a certain quality of light that meant my mother would come looking for me soon. It was naptime light — the hot, still, mid-afternoon light of a Texas summer. As a child, this specific lighting would often inspire me to hide […]

I hosted a baby shower for two of my pregnant pals yesterday — just a small group of really good friends, breakfast tacos, mimosas, and lots of adorable baby gifts. Oh, and Adam and I got bikes!! […]
I don’t have a formal dining table, my table functions as a workspace for projects, an area to entertain, sometimes extra food prep space, and more. So when I cook for family and friends I need to make an all-purpose surface and make it feel focused and a little more formal. This year my parents moved from our […]
Y’all may have noticed a few #HousePartyInTheHills Instagrams last week as we prepped for the biggest party I’ve ever thrown at my house. I teamed up with WhoWhatWear for a poolside fête during sxStyle, inviting tastemakers who were in town for the festival to join us for snacks off the grill by Launderette and beats […]
The first thing you’ll notice about Jennifer Matos and Keith Holmes II is that they make a drop dead gorgeous couple. Both professional fitness instructors at the lake shore YMCA in Austin (Jenn is also weeks away from obtaining her cosmetology license), these two make a living inspiring other Austinites to look and feel their […]
When it comes to posture, mine has always been less than perfect. It’s something my mom never fails to point out, although she’s not nearly as much of a stickler as her mother was. Inspired by the grandmother I never met, I challenged myself to spend a week focused on improving my posture. At my […]
