My New Ice Cream Sandwich Obsession
One of the most fun things about Phoebe getting a little older (she turns 4 in August!!) is that she appreciates our mama-daughter dates a lot more than she used to. When I announce we’re going somewhere special, it’s not uncommon for her to whisper conspiratorially, “Girls only, right?” Life has been crazy lately with […]
7 Things Holding You Back from Your Happiest Self
When the final assignment in a class is to have groups of students perform random acts of kindness, you know there’s something special going on. Dr. Raj Raghunathan is a marketing professor at The University of Texas at Austin where he has spent much of his time researching the topic of happiness. While many business classes […]
Why You Should be Composting
I’ve been telling myself that “I really need to start composting” for a long time. For years, actually. I’m not sure why it took me so long to get started — for some reason, I felt intimidated by it all, and thought that composting would pose a huge lifestyle change. Turns out, it’s one of the […]
Noël and Will
To learn the story of Noël and Will Bridges is to sign up for a short course in Austin history. Ten years ago, Will (together with a small group of friends) quietly opened a new restaurant in the old Schneider Brothers Building downtown under the peculiar promise of “fancy barbecue”. Today, Lamberts is an institution […]
You’re Invited: a Get Healthy Get Together!
We’ve been planning a big event around here, and it’s (finally!) time to spill: next month we’re hosting our first ever IRL party in Austin, and y’all are ALL invited! We couldn’t be more excited about our inaugural #GetHealthyGetTogether, where we’ll get to party with you while we work out, shop, and give away some incredible prizes. […]
Weekend Notes
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 […]
Swimsuit Selfies: Yea or Nay?
I read an article once in “The Age Issue” of Vogue featuring a very stylish over-sixty living in New York. When asked what fashion advice she would give a woman in her early twenties, she didn’t miss a beat: “Put on a bikini and don’t take it off until you’re 35.” The cold hard truth […]
What Happened When I Went Vegan for Three Days
Confession: this Nebraska girl has had a longtime curiosity about adopting a vegan lifestyle. I might lose some followers for saying that – especially those from the Heartland. Nebraskans are wildly proud of their beef. And it’s true, visit any steakhouse in the state and you’re likely to have one of the best steaks of […]
Getting Dressed With Emma Heming Willis
I love that our new Getting Dressed With series provides the chance to peek into the lives of some incredibly chic women and answer such burning questions as, “What does a typical morning look like for an international supermodel-turned-blogger who also happens to be married to Bruce Willis?” That, my friends, is what we find out today as we peek […]
We Got Bikes!
Adam and I have been wanting to get bikes for ages — we’ve rented them on vacation and ridden from Venice Beach to Malibu and to see volcanic rock in Maui, and it always makes for one of the most memorable part of a trip. So we finally took the plunge and ordered two classic cruisers from […]
9 Ways to Use a Yoga Block
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 […]
Weekend Notes
Mornin’, friends! Hope you’re having a great weekend so far. Life has been speeding by so quickly lately in such a blur of busyness that I’ve been making an effort on the weekends to slow it all down a little. Which means that I’m intentionally leaving blocks of our time unscheduled to make room for things like laying […]
Cruise Control: How to Get Along While Traveling
We’ve all been there — bickering in the back seat of a cab on a trip that should have been fun. Traveling can be stressful, and nothing can test the mettle of a relationship quite like a series of delayed flights. Even when things are functioning smoothly at home, nothing is guaranteed out there on […]
