Over the years, I’ve moved my fair share. If I’m being honest, I think moving is one of the most daunting tasks around, yet I seem to find myself in the same stressful predicament. I relocated to Houston in 2006 for a job with the Houston Astros and have since bounced all around the Houston […]
In full transparency, I wasn’t sure I was going to share this experience. The main reason is I’ve always had major skepticism when it comes to any sort of treatments or products that offer “quick fixes.” My dad taught me long ago when something seems too good to be true, it usually is. But in this case […]
Not all Fridays are created equal, so let me tell you about my Friday at Four Seasons Spa in Houston— here’s a spoiler alert for those with a short attention span – the Tata Harper Serenity Ritual body treatment/massage (with Tristan) was one of the best I’ve had in Houston. Another spoiler alert: comment on […]
Summer is here and if you’re in Texas, you know finding any sort of refreshment (a pool, a vibrant and fresh drink, a car with properly working air-conditioning, etc.) is an absolute must.

Last month, I spent a week at Halcyon Hotel Cherry Creek (pronounced Hal-see-uh n) and I could not have been more impressed (not just with the hotel and all its uniqueness, but the overall vibe and amenities around Cherry Creek). Check-in […]
We all need to get away with a gal pal every so often, and sometimes jumping on a flight or going into full-on planning mode chockfull of itineraries and Internet searches defeats the purpose. Last month I decided to take a last-minute road trip from Houston to Baton Rouge (277 miles), and I was pleasantly […]
[Updated 6.1.18, original post 10.5.16] It’s been made very clear that I have an obsession with donuts. Donuts are my love language, remember? One of my absolute favorite things about living in a big, sprawling city like Houston are all the dining options, which of course, includes donuts. Without further ado, here is your ULTIMATE […]
Finding the time, patience or even the knowledge to get all dolled up and keep my makeup fresh and glam isn’t really my thing. It’s not that I don’t like looking like I have my life together and care about my appearance, but some gals were blessed with a steady hand for eyeliner and the […]
