This craft brewery should be on everyone’s radar
One of the things I love about living in Austin, Texas is the local beer scene. Here, it’s about more than just great beer, it’s about the community that surrounds it. So, I'm really excited to report on the newest brewery to enter the Austin scene: Lazarus Brewing Co.

hiatus happens.
If you've been wondering why my posts have been more sporadic than usual lately, well, first off I'd like to apologize. I'm still writing, as always. Just not publishing. I've been a bit distracted lately because (thank God), I finally got a "real" job. That's right, I'm not relying on freelancing and brand ambassador-ing as … Continue reading hiatus happens.

You wanna be on top?
One of the things I love the most about Austin is the style. I’ve been following around and working with my best friend (Elizabeth Lestina) here since my move, which means that I’ve been a “plus one” to more fashion shows than I can count. Trust me. I’m not complaining. Last year, Elizabeth competed in … Continue reading You wanna be on top?

Well, anywhere I … Continue reading Last Tuesday Night.

Meet My Roomie.
This one is definitely inspired by my sentimental side...which would totally make this girl gag. As I mentioned the other day, typically, my goal with feature pieces is to focus on clients and leaders in my industry; however, I believe this girl deserves a shout-out of her own. She's definitely an up-and-coming digital marketing/e-commerce leader … Continue reading Meet My Roomie.

Meet Sharokina Pazand
In my third year of college, I applied for an internship at a small business in Chicago called Citygirl Weddings & Events. At the time, I was sure I wanted to be a wedding planner. I was brought in for an interview with the owner of the company, Sharokina Pazand. At this point, I'd been … Continue reading Meet Sharokina Pazand

Meet Elizabeth Lestina
Disclaimer: I may be a bit biased with this one. 😉 I've known Elizabeth since our freshman year of high school. She's actually the reason I chose to move to Austin, over a few other hipster cities. So yeah...she's my best friend. I would say that she's also one of my clients, but our professional relationship is … Continue reading Meet Elizabeth Lestina
