So, we’re meeting for breakfast tacos. Tell me w So, we’re meeting for breakfast tacos. Tell me where + what’s your order??? 🌮🌮 👇 this crew is @veracruztacos new spot @littlefieldsatx which is an outdoor sanctuary on the corner in Tarrytown w turf and picnic tables. I think I liked the green sauce + chorizo taco best this time.
I ventured to Fredericksburg to try XPT for the fi I ventured to Fredericksburg to try XPT for the first time blindly when a friend invited me to a pool workout with a view + WOW— I def didn’t know people used dumbbells underwater and how exhilarating and fascinating our bodies can be! Xtreme Performance Training was founded to challenge humans with the ability to adapt through 3 pillars: Breathing, Movement, Recovery. Running on the bottom of the pool with 10 lb. weights in each hand, jumping squats, high-knees, + pistols under water sounds psychotic, but we did it! The Fire & Ice finale = 10 minute sauna session and 3 minute ice bath. I freakishly laughed while being frozen in that Yeti cooler, but the real message is that finding new things to explore nurtures my curiosity about life and really tests your mind over matter. The workshops by Leeann @staycationfitness are thrilling and as if the luxurious arena wasn’t enough, she brought out homemade cookies as a goodbye gift!! Read my experience in bio link, and yes, I’m going again! 🤸🏻‍♂️🤸🏻‍♂️
Just when I thought I’d had every cookie, @wunde Just when I thought I’d had every cookie, @wunderkeks_atx appears with a cinnamon sugar crumbly topping in this “Everything Cookie” with wheat flour, coconut sugar, dark choc, pecans. Good news too— they ship nationally, and the cooks stay fresh in their individual wrapped pack somehow! They really do! 🍪🍪🍪
a DEEP thought while swimming at Deep Eddy: You re a DEEP thought while swimming at Deep Eddy: You really can be anything you want to be! Don’t feel social pressure to stay in your own lane (wow that was a lay up of a pun),— it’s true! All you have to do is start that thing + then it becomes you. I was fearful to leave NYC after 8 years of working hard to build my hospitality career/relationships especially bc my friends here always associated me as the NYC gal, and I didn’t want to lose that. When I came home for weddings, people would introduce me as a restaurant critic which made me chuckle bc that has never been my job. Now people call me a swimmer, and I have never had an adult lesson. My point is, if you are afraid to move cities, start a new career path, a new company, or a hobby, you can do it! Wherever you go, you will adapt and become that new shiny version of yourself. You are still YOU inside. Keep going!
✨Now Open✨ @summerhouseonmusiclane is the newe ✨Now Open✨ @summerhouseonmusiclane is the newest restaurant you need to try @hotelmagdalena on South Congress. Chek-ing out new spots always feeds my giddiness + fuels my excitement! The outdoor grounds are spacious to feel like you’re at your own retreat, and the food is simple enough for your parents who don’t share food, but memorable for your friends who talk about their next meal even when they are stuffed. ⭐️Go for the Tuna Crudo, Caesar Salad, Scallops, + Bone-in Ribeye for 2 to seal the deal. OH and the steak fries, don’t forget the fries! ⭐️
It’s a fact that @swaythai is the spiciest resta It’s a fact that @swaythai is the spiciest restaurant in town (+ has the best rooftop view of downtown). What I want to know is, do you choose Jungle Curry or Son in Law to tickle your mouth on fire??? P.S.❣️the Thai Tea Affogato + crumble
Have you ever been to a Bike, Natural Wine, Coffee Have you ever been to a Bike, Natural Wine, Coffee Shop, and Pizza backyard all in one? ME NEITHER. @themeteorcafe has this crunchy, doughy, square ‘za that I’m all about. Take a work lunch at these empty picnic tables or treat a date to their great wine bottles in the $20 range which aren’t marked up. No pressure here! Now I just need a bike...🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️
5,472 stairs, 6 miles, and 1 hr 45 min later, I ca 5,472 stairs, 6 miles, and 1 hr 45 min later, I can confidently say River Place Nature Trail is the only real hike in Austin. I woke up charged with so much electric energy that I needed to expend it, so I drove 30 min up to the hardest trail I know to take a quick vaca. I somehow ran the whole thing - guess I needed to speed up to slow down my mind + it worked. WHAT. A. WHIRL. Do it! 🍁🍁🍁🍁
✨NOW OPEN✨: Everyone’s favorite Australian c ✨NOW OPEN✨: Everyone’s favorite Australian cafe @twohandsnyc on South Congress Music Lane! What a treat to see a place I literally lived next to in NYC succeed + come alive down the street from me now here. The menu is something you can eat everyday...for every meal + they have a hot lookin’ bar! Order: 🥑Salmon Bowl (grains + hummus) 🥑Brassicas Salad - just WOW 🥑Squid Noodle Salad 🍦Sticky Date French Toast topped with ice cream~ Live a little!
