I wanted to do this post right before the weekend; in case, you were looking for a new place to try out. Let me start out by saying: I have this weird hatred of “cool” places that are located in malls. In my opinion, malls are made for shopping, and the only time you should be at a mall is when the stores are open. They are not made for living or hanging out. However, last weekend, I was meeting up with a friend, and we needed a place that was easy for both of us to get to. We I like to write about things that inspire me. This morning when I was listening to my favorite radio morning show, The Bobby Bones Show, I heard something that was actually incredible. Amy, one of the co-hosts, has periodically shared stories about her mom’s battle with cancer. It went away, came back, went away again, then came back again. I guess right before the holidays, they found out that the cancer had come back in a more aggressive form. Other than, experimental treatment there is nothing left to do. She just shared this last bit of devastating news
You know when things are dramatic, but then at the same time they are really stupid? Like in the moment you think “oh shit, this shouldn’t have happened; this is bad”. However, when you stop to think about it, and put everything in perspective, you realize that everything is really actually okay. I feel like my whole week has been filled with those “oh, shit” moments. On a more positive note, I have actually been making an attempt to get dressed this week. Since I pretty much spent the whole holiday season in
Full name?: Kristine & Stephanie Navas Position / Job title?: Co-Owners of Closet Deep 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Kristine: We both kind of were on different tracks since we little. I knew I always wanted to be architect because it was something my dad liked and it was artistic. My sister was wanted to be a doctor. We didn’t exactly end up there, but we ended up where we were meant to be. 2. Fast-forward several I wouldn’t normally do a straight up review of a company, but when one of my most frugal, mall-hating friends (shout out Mandy!), wouldn’t stop raving about Stitch Fix, I had to check it out. Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service for women. Essentially, you fill out a lengthy questionnaire about your personal style, submit it your Stitch Fix stylist, and voilà 5 items will show up at your door. I was a little bit skeptical because as someone that loves to shop, I didn’t think someone else could pick out clothes for me. In the
In the 90s, plastic surgeons and dermatologists didn’t sell products directly from their offices. Now, you almost expect to buy new products when you go see your doctor. With her first company, M.D. Formulations/M.D. Forte, Jan was one of the first to enter “the professional channel”, and sell skincare products directly I am going back to work tomorrow for the first time in two weeks. Yikes, I know, getting back into my regular, old routine is not going to be so fun. To top it all off, I am REALLY REALLY trying hard to keep my New Year’s resolution of saving money. That means no more Starbucks coffee or breakfasts from the little cafe next to my office. My morning routine is going DIY. I have dusted off my Keurig and have scoured the Internet for quick morning recipes that take 5 minutes at the most. I like these recipes from
Position / Job title?: Owner and Designer of Elise by Elise 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was very little, I wanted to be a Veterinarian because I loved animals so much. By the age of 9 or 10, I definitely wanted to be a clothing designer. 2. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? I I have been feeling pretty uninspired lately. Work has really slowed down because of the holidays, which has been super nice. I didn’t realize how much I needed a break. This past week, all I have done is hang out with my friends/family, eat tortillas with queso, and haven’t really changed out of sweatpants. It has been perfect. This is an outfit I wore a few weekends ago to brunch. I wanted to wear something comfortable/easy, yet I wasn’t in the mood to wear jeans again.
I doubt any of you will ever find yourself in Laredo, Texas, but if you do make sure to check out Danny’s. I obviously come to Laredo to visit my grandparents, but the tortillas at Danny’s are definitely the icing on the cake…SO GOOD. I have only been in Laredo for 24 hours, and I have already been to Danny’s twice…don’t judge.
