  • Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me. When you wanna page me, it’s okay 🤙🏼 ☎️ Rocked a v @kimpossible look 👀 last week when I spoke on my very first (unofficially official to me) @sxsw panel with @ohhhchelsea, @culturetrip, @seethestarsablaze, and @katiefriel ~ The conversation centered around how brands are shaped by their communities and how culture evolves as communities evolve. This hit home on so many fronts, for one I’m the daughter of an immigrant, and I happened to also be born and raised in Austin. I grew up with specific criteria for how to create, react, and interpret because of my surrounding and family upbringing, and as I got older, while I always appreciated where I came from, I also needed the space to explore other ways of living. On top of that, this account used to be solely dedicated to food, and I’m so grateful for that beginning because that just *is* my story. It’s a part of me. But as I began to evolve as a human, developing different likes, passions, and routines, I really truly appreciated (and still appreciate) the space to evolve publicly on this account. I choose to share my life socially and I want a feedback loop, but to be honest. At the end of the day I am a human being (just like you!) I just happen to be taking advantage of being able to express herself in the hopes of encouraging just one of you that you’re not alone. You’re seen. Because I need the reminder too. Daily. So the time to take control of your life is right freaking now! All I want is for more for me and more for you: happiness, self respect, never ending love, and endless bowls of your favorite food being hand served to you by baby angels 👼🏻 speaking of, I want never ending bowls of spaghetti bolognese please 🙏🏼 What about you? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
  • 500 cherry blossoms and a side of sustainably sourced sashimi plz 🌸🍣🥢 It’s cherry blossom season and you can peep the beautiful installation and special #luckyblossom menu at @theluckyrobotatx until May 7th or sneak a peek in my stories RN 👀 I love that they practice sustainable seafood sourcing, are located right in the heart of #SOCO, and have a killer vibe and HH menu! Perfect for date night or girls night 👯‍♀️ like I had with @onechelofanadventure ~~ What’s your go to kind of fish? 👇🏼 I’m a tuna gal 🐟
  • Zoom in really close and you can see my cellulite 😱🤪😬 TBH I’m sure there are a hundred things we ALL would change about ourselves if we could. And sometimes, change is necessary. A healthier diet, more movement, better style, etc. But ya know what, sometimes you just have to sip your drink (@redbull x gin) and say fuck it, in the sweetest, nicest, kindest way because you do not give a F! And go on with ya bad ass self 🖤🖤🖤
  • Me: Can I take more than 1? Lady handing them out: Baby you’re in VIP you can take the whole tray! Me: *proceeds to open purse and mouth and starts shoving them in* ~~ the things I do for @milkbarstore 💘 TYSM @ubereats for making dreams come tru 👼🏻 💫 But really, birthday cake or chocolate truffle? 🧐
  • If you’ve been out at @sxsw you know the chaos that is trying to get around downtown 🙃 Thankfully we have access to scooters this year, but as such... with great access comes great responsibility! Which is why I love that @lyft has taken it upon themselves to help establish some scootiquette at the fest this year 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The book I’m reading is the “guide to good scootiquette” and can be picked up by following the #scootiquette hashtag and it’s full of some practical and silly advice to keep you safe and LOLing for the rest of SXSW 🤪 I know my SX was successfully more efficient thanks to Lyft and want to know from y’all did you get on a scooter this SX? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 And if not, there is still time! #giftfromlyft
  • I’m calling it, this @sxsw was the year of #CBD 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I attended more events with CBD than I ever would have imagined (facials, vape pens, dinners, cocktails, etc) and one of my absolute favorites was this impeccably curated dining experience put on by @zellahouse for @merryjane by @herbalnotes and @arcanerevelry ✨ For so many reasons I am grateful, grateful to speak openly about my passion for cannabis, to be able to establish myself in this industry in my hometown of Austin, Texas, and to share my experiences with you all. I just never thought there would be a day where I could proudly and confidently say I love cannabis out loud! And I do, both as a recreation and as medicine. There is a place for both and I hope to continue to share that side of my life with you to help you see cannabis a little bit differently. As always, feel free to chime in, DM, whatever ~ about any questions, about any and ALL of it. I sincerely love talking about this stuff! And I know it can seem overwhelming and scary. So just trying to create a positive dialogue around it. Ya feel? 🥰 So— Have you ever tried CBD and if you haven’t, would you ever attend a CBD dining experience? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
  • CBD peach cobbler dairy free shakes at @nadamooscoopshop TODAY and the cherry on top... it’s made with @restartcbd 🥰👌🏼🤙🏼 @spinsyddy and I are HUGE @nadamoo fans and were absolutely elated when they asked us to be a part of their #SOLA block party going on today 1-5! There’s free alcohol 👀, snacks, #CBD samples 👌🏼, and you too can have The Southern Hospitality CBD shake made with the newly released NadaMoo peach cobbler flavor, @treatyoak bourbon salted caramel, coconut milk, Restart CBD, and graham crackers! It’s freaking tasty so come on by! How do you feel about a CBD shake? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
  • Three cheers for @hillside_farmacy fries during @sxsw 🍟 Had a moment in between some things yesterday 👀 and realized Hillside was around the corner so an impromptu stop was necessary. I live for these fries, with their malt vinegar drizzle. And when at #SXSW never pass up an opportunity to fill your belly up 🙂🙂🙂 Today kicks off #cannabusiness and I’m about to head to some panels as we head into the last leg of SX! Today, tomorrow, and Saturday and then I’m done 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Who else is still out and or who is contemplating going out? 👇🏼
