Surviving music festivals takes time, planning, stamina and a certain mindset that isn’t easy to come by. My husband and I are no strangers to music festivals as we’ve done ACL (Austin City Limits) twice. If you follow me on instagram and facebook, you know this was our first time attending Coachella.

family matters
When I was younger there was a time I couldn’t wait to be as far away from my family as possible. Today that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Being away from family is one of the hardest things about moving to another city (let alone another state or even another country). It’s tough. It pulls at your heart-strings. For…

Is Frozen the new Little Mermaid?
I can’t get that song out of my head. It doesn’t help that Jimmy Fallon did one of his classic ” kindergarten toys” rendition with Idina Menzel herself (or is her name Adele Dazeem?). The hit song “Let It Go” from Disney’s Oscar-winning film Frozen is all over the place, and I haven’t even seen the movie. When I was little,…

what the hills y’all: why you should go local
Grocery shopping is more than just getting the food you need for the week, it’s an experience. When I lived in Dallas, my sister and I would go grocery shopping together and catch up on everything. There are different kinds of shoppers, you see, and my sister and I were the same. HEB in Houston will always be my favorite…

it’s always been there
I knew it all along and didn’t realize it. I remember growing up I had a journal. A place where I could write down anything and everything that was on my mind. At the time, it was filled with ideas of marriage with Leonardo DiCaprio or Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I even cut out heart shapes from pictures I would see…
