Summer is here. OK, I know technically summer starts next month, but let’s be real. Here in Houston, summer comes early. May is one of my favorite months because summer hasn’t gotten unbearably warm, meaning outdoor activities are less sweaty and sticky. Aka, the time to plan a picnic is NOW. PSA: Alcohol policies in parks are varied. … Continue reading
I might be having a forbidden love affair with Dallas, Texas. OK, quick, I need to say this: Houston is far superior to not just Dallas, but the rest of America — and know that I really, really, really mean that. But y’all… I had a blast and a half in Dallas when I visited … Continue reading
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. At the very least, your mom carried your infant butt around for nine months and, to top that all of, raised you for another 18 YEARS! She deserves some major kudos on … Continue reading
We’ll never get over how cute Bebidas in River Oaks is. The juice and smoothie spot is a sister to some Houston favorites, like Adair Kitchen and Eloise Nichols. Spoiler: It’s just as cute as those other places. Wait, cuter? Cuter. Grab a juice and prepare to Instagram. Bebidas is in River Oaks at Westheimer … Continue reading
I’m definitely a cat person… and, after visiting Bosscat Kitchen and Libations, I’d say even more so. The new River Oaks restaurant is off Westheimer, just inside 610 before you get to Highland Village.

One of the days that I was in Paris, we didn’t super have a plan one afternoon. We did Versailles in the morning, and trained back to the city. We didn’t even make a pit stop at our hotel I don’t think before heading to Luxembourg Gardens where we inevitably collapsed on some water-facing reclining … Continue reading
I’m at that age, y’all. That age where I go to a lot of weddings. I’ve already been to several, and I have two super special ones coming up this year. While it’s safe to say I’m quite far from any altar, I’ve planned a few bachelorettes and have searched “wedding venues in Houston” a … Continue reading
I had the amazing and unforgettable experience of eating Holley’s super secret fried chicken family dinner. I am forever changed. If you want to partake in the incredible evening, here’s what you need to know. 10 things to know before you go to Holley’s family night: You have to go in person to get your … Continue reading
I’ve unintentionally had a bias against hotel restaurants. Like, if I’m not staying in the hotel, why go? Even then, I’d probably want to venture out to explore the city I’m visiting, right? 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
Somehow we completely missed the opening of Houston’s first Steel City Pops — a spot in the Heights that only sells popsicles (and coffee etc.). I had so many questions. Popsicles? That’s it? Basically. Are they big popsicles? No, normal size. Are they expensive popsicles? Eh, $3-4. Are there a lot of different popsicles? TONS. And this is a … Continue reading
