Where to Drink Now: Fall
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 … Continue reading
Downtown Houston Staycation: Treat Yo’ Mom This Mother’s Day
It’s reeeeeally important to not mess up Mother’s Day. It should, for most of you, be the most important day for your mom.

Well, apparently I’ve been missing out, because Quattro in the Four Seasons has a great brunch buffet. Here’s how to do it … Continue reading
InStep Pilates: The Most Refreshing Workout Ever
As I walked into InStep Pilates, which is located just around the corner from Saint Arnold’s near downtown, I saw allllllll the pilates equipment and joked that it looked like a torture chamber.

Have Burger, Will Travel (Enter to Win!!)
So, if you’re like me, you probably forgot Houston even had a Hard Rock Cafe. No offense to Hard Rock, but it feels so touristy to me that I never go! My mistake. Can’t miss American cuisine, large drinks and a good playlist, especially when you’re dining next to ZZ Top….. memorabilia. I went … Continue reading
