The temperature dropped 20 degrees and we felt it. We popped right up like gophers and hauled out our boots, sweaters and scarves. We headed to Starbucks: cinnamon, nutmeg, PUMPKIN EVERYTHING. It’s fall (for now) in Houston, and that means one thing to me: Perfect, sweat-free patio weather for alcohol consumption. (OK, it means more …
I forget sometimes that some new Houstonians don’t have a lifetime of friends to choose from like I do. I’ve lived here my whole life, and I still have close friends from when we were knee-high to a grasshopper. (A phrase said Newstonians might not have ever heard. #Texas) I like to say that I …
For two months every fall, you get to live your Game of Thrones fantasies… ish. I mean, you can’t be as cool as Jon Snow and Aria or as fierce as Cersei and Daenerys, but you can channel them all for a fun-field day/weekend at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Plus we all know it’s TEXAS, …
Believe it or not, but there’s more to Munich than just Oktoberfest. In September, I went to Germany for a week to experience not only Oktoberfest (here’s my tips on surviving that) but also check a few things off my Germany bucket list. I first went to Munich last fall (here’s my 24 Hours in Munich …
The cute eatery on the corner of Rice Boulevard and Chaucer Drive has been quite a few restaurants in my life, but I’m quite satisfied with what it is now: the newest Island Grill location. The Mediterranean chain has locations all over Houston, but is based right here in Houston and owned and operated by …

“And now, if we measured you, you’d be a little bit taller,” Define founder/hammock class instructor Henry Richardson says as we all crunch up from hanging upside down from the ceiling of Define Living. (Click here to read more about the studio!) That’s pretty freaking cool. Yoga is all about stretching and lengthening, but we … Continue reading
This weekend (Oct. 5-8) is The Original Greek Festival at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral has everything a girl can dream of: food, music, wine, shopping, food, activities, wine, coffee, food, wine—you get it. You’ve got tonight, all day tomorrow and Sunday to hit it up, and as a native Houstonian, I do this thing a lot. … Continue reading
Inhale. Exhale. Sip Tea. Buy a Crystal. DEFINE Living is one of 21 stores in the DEFINE umbrella of work out studios. It’s different from all the other ones that I’ve been to because it in part shares a space with the nearby Life HTX building for its yoga classes, has a little cafe, and … Continue reading
If you have a little free time on Tuesday or Thursday morning, you should find your way to Tacos A Go Go in Oak Forest for some down dog. Twice a week from 8:45am to 9:45am, yogis converge on the outdoor patio to get their namaste on at a free community yoga class. I went … Continue reading
Most nights, it’s a Salata salad or a burger from FM Kitchen. Oh, or tacos from Eight Row Flint. Fries are a major food group, and my ideal lunch is from Panera or Zoe’s. All this to say, I eat cheap and am thriving. However, even I, a 25-year-old with awful eating habits have found … Continue reading
This Sunday, I woke up early and joined 30 something odd runners at the downtown Houston Public Library for an art tour around the city. Over the course of two hours, we ran five miles and paused at over 20 pieces of art to hear their history and see how they weathered the Harvey floods. … Continue reading
In the self-proclaimed city of laptops and lederhosen, here’s everything I learned about surviving opening weekend at the infamous Oktoberfest festivities in Munich, Germany. Some Background Oktoberfest was found in 1810 as a wedding celebration for Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. The fair grounds are named Theresienwiese after her and it originally took place in the middle … Continue reading
