Position / Job title?: Creator + CEO, blingsting 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I always saw myself as a mom, which is funny, because I am like the last of any of my childhood girlfriends to actually get there. No wait, I am the only one of my childhood girlfriends who isn’t married with kids. Even though I am Jewish, Christmas is still my favorite holiday. Why? Because it allows me to catch up on fun things like blog posts. It is the only day of the year that I have absolutely no obligations because obviously no one is working (yay! no e-mails) and all of my friends are busy with their families. It is so nice. I have a confession: I have lived in Austin for over 2 years, and until last weekend, I had never shopped at two of Austin’s vintage staples: Blue Velvet and Room Service. They are Yup, it is that time of year again: cold season! I know, SO FUN! This would be the worst week ever to get sick; you don’t want to miss out on Christmas AND New Years. What a terrible way to end 2013, and start 2014. As I have mentioned a million times, I am terrible in the kitchen; recipes overwhelm me. However, when I saw these cold fighting juice recipes from Omega Juicers, I had to post them because they are SO easy. Each one only involves a few ingredients that you can just throw into your blender I woke up this morning feeling a little bit like SuperWoman. On normal mornings, I press snooze a few dozen times, begrudgingly drag myself to the gym, and don’t really feel fully alive till I have consumed at least two very large cups of coffee. Today was different: I rolled out of bed as soon as my alarm went off, made it to the gym on time for my class, and now I am listening to Katy Perry’s “Roar” on repeat. I think all this Christmas cheer has gotten to me. So, when I realized that I had scheduled Read More
Position / Job title?: Associate Editor, AW Media 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? An actress. I started to do theater in high school, and I found myself to be completely unnatural on stage. I realized I was not cut out for it. 2. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? Writing has always been a passion épicerie ROCKS! I honestly don’t really know what else to say, other than, I love everything that I have tried on the menu. Not only is the food pretty stellar, the atmosphere is great too. If I ever owned a house, I would want it to look exactly like épicerie: hardwood floors, white wood cabinets, leather ceiling (YES! you heard right), brass/rose gold light fixtures. It is a bit too cold right now, but in the Spring/Summer, the outside patio is the best spot in town for a chill happy hour. NAME: ADDRESS: 2307 Hancock Dr Austin, My mission to decorate my new apartment with the most kitschy, random stuff ever took me on a little adventure to the flea market in Leander, a 20 minute drive from Austin. Leander is stereotypical Texas: there are a lot of churches and an abundance of fields with cows. It is charming. I decided to check it out because I noticed that some of the vendors were posting really cool pieces on Craigslist. I am glad I ventured out there because the Leander Flea Market is a wonderfully strange, yet awesome place. Typically at a flea market, each 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 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 |
