After my previous post about pho, a few people recommended that I try Tan My. So, last weekend, my aunt and I decided to have lunch there because it was another cold, rainy day in Austin. NAME: Tan My ADDRESS: 1601 Ohlen Rd Austin, TX 78758
In her new book, Notes from a Blue Bike, she tells readers how to live intentionally in a chaotic I feel like my life is just starting to regain normalcy, after moving last week. I know, I am acting like I moved half way across the world, rather than just across the apartment complex, but still. I was so behind on work, and I am finally caught up! Whoo! Over the past 10 days or so, there have been a few interesting articles on the web that have caught my attention: 1) Fact: I read the NY Post almost every morning. Why? Because they have entertaining stories, and being accurate is overrated. I was intrigued by this story, “Read More
Sheena has always been ambitious: she entered college at the age of 14, and graduated from UCLA at 19. So, it is no surprise I have been in the process of decorating my new apartment. I am determined to not buy anything from Ikea! I want to actually take the time to find unique, cool pieces. I have been spending an obscene amount of time scouring Craigslist, going to all my favorite vintage/thrift stores and browsing Etsy. I realized that if you ever want to sell something for way more than it is actually worth, just say it is vintage. So annoying. Luckily, a few months ago, I stumbled upon Thrifty Chicks Vintage, and ever since it has been one of my Um, yeah it is cold in Austin right now; the high today is only 39 degrees! Okay, I know I am a wuss because if you live somewhere like Minnesota or Iowa, this is nothing. For Texas, it is cold! And, during the winter, we don’t always think about what the harsh weather does to our hair! It can be brutal! Luckily, beauty & style expert, Tai Beauchamp, gave us the inside scoop on easy ways to keep your hair healthy and looking fabulous this winter season: Tip 1: Frizz-Free in the Frost Whether your hair is relaxed This is a shout out to all of the shorties out there! Finally, a celebration and ode to the vertically challenged – Becky Murphy’s new book “I’d Rather be Short” shares the overlooked advantages of a small stature. Ahem–I’m actually of average height (and probably average in every sense of the word), but I thought of the perfect person to review this book for y’all. My cousin, Monica Castro. She’s older than me and I’ve been taller than her for most of our lives. She’s probably endured just about every short joke there is…maaaaybe even a few from me. About a week ago, I felt myself coming down with a cold. Of course my first thought was “Oh well, I guess I need to take a break from running!”…as though I had actually been running regularly. Think again. I hadn’t been running because I strained my knee. When it was finally better, I was “conveniently” needed another week of rest This is the challenge, people. Getting over excuses and making yourself workout! And boy is it a challenge! I decided to actually do some research to see if it was okay to run with a looming cold. I found Another shopping center, another fantastic restaurant. It is an on going theme in Austin. O’Daku Sushi is my go-to sushi spot; I am pretty sure I have taken everyone I know there. At this point, I have been so many times that I have ordered the majority of the menu, and everything rocks. This is a bold statement, but O’Daku is probably my favorite sushi place of all time. Cherin Sushi (another one of my favs) in the East Village is the only place that really compares. NAME: O’Daku Sushi ADDRESS: 2501 W Parmer Ln Austin, This was a good week for many reasons: 1) I only worked Monday and Tuesday 2) I got to spend Thanksgiving with my crazy, but totally lovable family 3) I ate way too much delicious food
