Makeup artist Laura Martinez has literally flawless skin every time we see her, so we couldn’t wait to learn her secrets for strobing. (PS: In case you haven’t already heard, strobing is the newest all-the-rage makeup technique that utilizes highlighting and illusion to create your best face possible.) We already know that strobing helps to […]
Lately, things have been really busy around here. Most of you already know I work for one of the largest creative festivals in the world (SXSW) and for the next few weeks, finding time to take care of anything outside of work is tough. As I type this, we are exactly four days out from […]
Effortless style. It’s fascinating to observe those rare women who truly have it as they throw on their favorite worn-in white tee shirt and instantly look incredibly chic. Alicia Lund, Cali-based blogger behind Cheetah is the New Black, is without a doubt one such gal. She has the type of pedigree you might imagine: former fashion […]

Morning, y’all — hope you’re having a great weekend! It’s felt like a bit of a marathon around here lately.

While I totally identify as the former (having friends around while I work out is distracting to me!), I know plenty of people whose fitness routines thrive when they have a familiar face around for encouragement. Sound like you? If so, bookmark these exercises, call […]
When our brilliant friends from Margot Blair Floral and Mint & Maple joined forces to host a workshop on the Art of Hosting, we begged them to share their secrets here on the blog, too — these are the pros, y’all. Even the best of us can get stressed at the thought of hosting a dinner party, so any inspiration for making […]
The best pedicure I’ve ever had took place at the new tenoverten that opened in Austin a few weeks ago. Sure the polish was flawlessly applied and the space was gorgeous, but what made it most memorable was sitting next to co-founder Nadine Ambramcyk and bonding over motherhood, a shared love for healthy living, and the joys and challenges […]
When it comes to beauty, it’s often true that we always want what we weren’t naturally born with, and that would certainly explain my lifelong obsession with full, shapely brows. Back in junior high, when pencil thin brows had a short moment in the sun, all my barely-there brows needed was a quick visit with the […]
