Let’s Stay in Touch



Find me on Instagram

  • Spent yesterday in San Francisco which meant @bobaguys and walking around the city in Alamo Square 💚 never thought I’d be in the Bay Area as much as I’ve been over these last few months, but I suppose that’s what long distance romance is all about and I’m not complaining when it means spending time exploring with the man I love and getting extra servings of strawberry matcha lattes 😍
  • Making it through the week, making it through the month, making it through this decade— ammirite? Who else has grand plans to close out the year? Working on a list of things to improve for the next decade? How about the next year? How about just the next month? +
+
+
To be honest, I don’t have anything planned. No grand changes. I’m kind of really happy with how life is right now with all it’s imperfections. It’s a life that I’m grateful for and really just want to spend the next year+ leaning into that gratitude ✨Sure I have some things I want to improve, but I’m not waiting for January 1, 2020 to make them. 
They involve things like being flexible with my diet, fitness, and nutrition. Spending more time IRL with friends and less screen time scrolling aimlessly. I also plan to floss daily, use a serum twice a day, and am training my green thumb 🤙🏼 So I guess this was a brief manifesto to say you don’t have to have some big plan for change, and if you want to make change, why do you have to wait for an arbitrary date to start? DO YOU NOW! And if you need a cheerleader, LMK— I got you ❤️
  • Been eating a lot more carbs lately 😅 but I couldn’t help myself when I saw @tks_thekebabshop opened up in Austin! And being middle eastern, I’m a sucker for kebab and saffron rice 🇮🇷 +
+
+
Where are your favorite places for middle eastern and or fast casual? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Another spot I always hit up is @cava 🤙🏼
  • Do you know how HARD IT IS to shop for jackets online? Especially when you type “black long wool jacket women”? +
+
+
+
So many options pop up, different button details, different lengths, different hems, etc… the list goes on and on and on and ALL I WANTED WAS a black wool coat to fit with this seasons trends! 😅🧥 Queue @stylust who helps you shop via images and instagram. Really, go try it! Send them a text or tag them in an image of ANY THING and their team goes to work searching for the exact item, and if they can’t find it— they find you pretty great substitute options ❤️ I found my fall coat of my dreams thanks to an image I saw on the internet and Stylust sourced it and had it delivered straight to my door. What fall trends are you after this season? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 USE CODE ST456 for $25 off your first purchase!!!
  • ~SUNDAY MOOD~ involves a salad, matcha, and a side of French fries from @spreadandco ✨ Al fresco please!
+
+
+
If you like keeping up with new restaurant openings you’ll want to add this one to your list and go ASAP! Open for breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch— Spread and Co. Is owned by a couple of awesome Austinites who source some tasty cheese, make housemade breads and baked goods, plus offer yummy jams and feature them in sandwiches, salads, and snacks ❤️ Peep today’s stories for more BTS but just go ahead and bookmark this one and make your way to the Rosedale neighborhood to give them a visit 👋🏼
  • Sugar cookies, margaritas, and hook em horns at the @atxlights preview party ✨ the trail is officially open for the season, and it’s my favorite way to ring in the Holidays in Austin ❤️ What’s your favorite way to celebrate in town?
  • Have you ever seen 🥨👀 a pretzel so big? +
+
+
+
Bet you’ve never eaten one in front of a timelapse camera with a crowded @mozartscoffee deck and light show going on behind you 😅 Big shoutout to my guy who scored us the killer seats right in the middle of the action and then proceeded to participate as I went “full on blogger” giving the pretzels and mini cakes a photo shoot ✨🤪 Yes, people thought I was crazy I’m sure, and TBH I don’t care— we we’re having so much fun and Mozart’s holiday light show is one of my favorite seasonal events to hit up 👏🏼 Have you made it there yet?
  • Have you ever googled “kinds of snacks”?
+
+
+
+
Well I just did 🙃 and on the list of “snacks” are things like jerky, peanuts, apples, and hummus. But also on the list are things like cookies, crackers, candy and chips 🙂
Thankfully these days there are PLENTY of junk food snacks rebooted like instead of Cheetos try carrot chips by @rhythmsuperfoods and instead of gummy snacks try dehydrated bananas from @barnana 🧡 these are just some of my favorite snacks you can pick up at @snapkitchen and they’re always adding new healthier snacks for you to check out! What are some of your favorite snacks? Healthy or not? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ps: full disclosure, I will not pass up a fruit by the foot if it’s in front of me 🤪 #snapkitchenambassador
