What the hills y’all: the anti-bags
What the Hills Y’all: Adventures of a Texas girl living in San Francisco San Francisco has this thing about bags- they hate them. In fact, they hate them so much that they’ve banned the paper or plastic kind and request demand that you bring your own, preferably made out of cotton or otherwise environmentally friendly material. If you don’t,…

what’s your personality type?
Do you know what your personality type is? I remember taking the Myers Briggs test in high school and was fascinated with how accurate it was. Introvert/Extrovert, Intuitive/Sensing, Thinker/Feeler, Judger/Prospector, they all shape how we interact with the everyday. As a senior in high school, going through college applications and figuring out what I wanted to do with the rest…

what the hills y’all: public transportation
What the Hills Y’all: Adventures of a Texas girl living in San Francisco Growing up in Texas, public transportation was not something you did by choice, but rather a task needing to be done as a last resort.

sister night
There is one thing that is constant on Monday night, and don’t you even say Monday Night Football. For me it’s sister night and tonight will be my last one living here in Dallas before I’m off to San Francisco. Sister night was developed (look at me all sounding patent-pending, trademark-like) by my 2 younger sisters and I when we…
