Editor’s note: More than four years since our epic mixology class at drink.well, and the cozy local joint is still one of our favorite places in town. With a new summer tiki menu debuting next week, drink.well owner and master mixologist Jessica Sanders stopped by to share two crazy good cocktails that’ll take your next poolside luau to […]
When we first met our friend Nathalie Holmes, we couldn’t get over her incredible “faux hawk” hairstyle. The up-and-coming Austin actress (and blogger behind Pretty Funny Girl) has major confidence, and that translates into rock star hair. We couldn’t wait to find to find out exactly how she does it, so we were pretty excited […]
Picking up a copy of Ambrosia feels like ordering dessert. The magazine (along with it’s sister publication Drift) is truly a collectible work of art — gorgeous travel photography and writing, laid out minimally on the most touchable matte paper. It’s a luxurious treat for the eyes and soul. So when we found out that […]
Shaken, not stirred.
Happy first of May, y’all! I’ve been feeling stretched a bit thin lately, between an insane work schedule, social commitments and trying to prioritize family during it all, things have been bordering on overwhelming. So, yesterday we deserted all our plans and spent the entire day in swimsuits, swimming and cooking on the grill with a […]
Morning, y’all! We’re in Houston this weekend to celebrate Chanel’s engagement — we haven’t talked too much about it here on the blog quite yet, but I did post a hint at the fabulousness that is to come when she ties the knot this fall, so stay tuned for more on that. Even though it’s a quick […]
One of my favorite yoga classes in town is a prop-based class, which means that along with our mat, we come to the studio armed with blocks, blankets, straps and bolsters. Using those props, we’re able to get into deeper versions of the poses we usually flow in and out of quickly, and as it […]
As we say goodbye (and good riddance!) to the long winter, I’m probably not the only one who’s thinking about getting a little healthier for swimsuit season spring. I’ve got to admit that a crazy schedule last month (blame it on SXSW) caused me to neglect my workout routine and consume a few too many breakfast […]
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 […]
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 […]
Texans live surrounded by Spanish. It’s on our menus, our street signs, and on the lips of so many people who live here. But even given all of that (and the four semesters of Spanish I endured during college) I still didn’t speak Spanish back in November of 2015. Rosetta Stone was something I’d been […]
