I sorta hate the word, “plus size”, not because I am oblivious to the fact that I am considered plus size, but it has such a negative connotation. And there really aren’t any better synonyms. Curvy? Uh, no thanks, that doesn’t sound better. So, let’s just say this post is for those of us that aren’t a size 2.
If you haven’t noticed from my excessive amounts of “What I Wore” posts lately, I am on a fashion rampage. I might be feeling a wee bit nostalgic for my days at Vogue and People’s Revolution. I miss the sense of

November 18, 2013 by Contributor in ETC., LifestyleOkay, so, I’m definitely not an “expert” on friends with benefits, but I’ve had a few situations in my life that have made me familiar with the subject.
Anyway, these kinds of relationships have an expiration date. According to some really prestigious websites (I forgot the name of it) that do experiments on these things, a friends with benefits situation is not supposed to last more than 3 months. Or else the dreaded happens, and someone will get feelings or whatever. Well as the rebel that I am, I refused to believe this, and proceeded to have an on and

November 16, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleMost people probably don’t think fashion and food go together, but in my world, they are my two greatest loves. Thus, I have decided that it makes sense to start doing a regular column called, “What I Ate”. When it comes to food, I am pretty much down for anything from gourmet to gross (I am never above Taco Bell or Dominos).
One of the greatest things about living in Austin is the food, so I am going to try to use these posts to highlight all the local spots. However, I can’t deny that I love a good meal

November 15, 2013 by Contributor in ETC., LifestyleWhen I was 17, I had my whole life planned out: I would go to college in New York, gallivant around the city during the week, and travel up to West Point on the weekends, where my high-school boy was spending the next five years of his life. In my perfect vision, I would show up in my fabulous Fall clothes, we would hang out, and then I would head back to my fabulous life in the city. It all seemed ideal, until it didn’t happen. I ended up going to college in Texas, and my boyfriend and I broke

While I love fashion, beauty is not my thing at all. I have pretty much been wearing my hair and make up the same way since I was in middle school (probably time for an upgrade). Unlike most of my friends, I never really get that excited when Mac comes out with a wild new lip color or Dior introducing their latest and greatest in mascara technology. Confession: I buy most of my beauty products at Target or at the drugstore; going to Sephora is my version of torture.
Even though I have no patience to learn more

November 12, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleOkay, so it is cold today for Austin standards: 54 degrees and it is supposed to get colder! Brrr. I love it when it gets cold because it is opportunity to bust out some of my old jackets.
I know you are probably tired of only looking at me, so Mallorie (my awesome and fashionable intern) also shows off her “cold” weather duds.
 Awww I know, we are cute! Just ignore that my hair is doing something crazy…thanks, wind!

November 12, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleAs you saw before, my old NYC roommate, Alix Altit, made this awesome video with a healthy drink recipe. Now, she has created another video with a really great idea for an easy, healthy dinner…and I mean really easy…it takes her about 5 minutes to make the meal.
I know, I really hate cooking, mostly because I hate cleaning up the dishes after. I need more recipes like this in my life!
Here is a break down of her recipe:
Left over, plain roasted chicken with a spoonful of mustard or mayo Chopped up vegetables of any

Marine wives of TBS Bravo Company 2013 with the First Lady of the Marine Corp
This weekend was the Marine Corp Birthday Ball, which has me thinking about a couple of the most important groups in my life right now: The men and women who serve our country (Happy Veteran’s Day and Happy Birthday, Marines) and the amazing group of military spouses I have around me.
I’ve actually been thinking

As I mentioned last week in this post, I always get a bit sentimental when someone I have known for the majority of my life fills out one of these Career Confidentials. This week’s is no different because I have probably known Rachel since middle school, maybe even elementary school? When someone I grew up with in San Antonio does the Q&A, it is interesting to me because we essentially started life

November 10, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleI am terrible with money.
When it comes to my spending habits, I have a major “YOLO” attitude; if buying something brings me joy in that moment, then I am all about it. My mentality has always been I work super hard for my money, and you can’t take it with you when you are gone, so why not spending, right?! WRONG.
Each month, I always make enough to pay all my expensive, but instead of, saving the rest, I find more things to buy. Between my daily iced coffees, frequent “just because” shopping sprees, and weekly happy hours with
