Hello. I owe you a post from my trip to hill country for spring break. Matt and I made somewhat last minute plans to take a road trip, and ended up booking 4 nights at Travassa Austin. We left after waking up on Thursday, and stopped at a classic bbq joint in Belton for lunch. We ordered the combo plate with pulled pork and brisket from Millers, and loved every bit of it (well, maybe not the onions:) We arrived…

Happy new year! I hope you guys are getting back into the swing of things after the holidays. Matt and I went down to Mexico for a few days, and boy do I miss this view. We used Marriott points to stay at the brand new JW Marriott Los Cabos near San Jose Del Cabo. The resort was absolutely amazing, and probably the nicest place I’ve ever stayed! The experience was almost worth having Matt travel to Seattle for six…
Summer break is over and I’m back to school tomorrow. I was seriously spoiled so I know it’s time to do some work! I spent a week with my family at Carolina beach back in North Carolina. It was super relaxing and we spent our days at the beach and our evenings cooking seafood, drinking wine, and playing games. The wonderful weather and beautiful beach made me miss NC!

After a very long day in the car, we were happy to explore Old Town and try the famous…
Current obsession edition: 1. I go through a chip and hummus combo every few weeks – right now it’s these pumpkin crisps with jalapeño and cilantro Hope Hummus. 2. I got a new iPod after my nano from college stopped keeping a charge. It was a tiny one that couldn’t hold all of my songs at once. I put a bunch of old country music on the new one and I’m enjoying driving around with the windows, down pretending…
It’s a short week for me because I’m heading to Baltimore to visit my grandma tomorrow! After that, I’m traveling home to NC for a wedding. It will be the first time I’ve gone home since I moved to Texas, so I’m pretty excited. I can’t believe it’s been a year. I’m pumped to see family and do some celebrating with friends. I wanted to post about cleaning up my beauty routine because I think it’s an interesting topic. Since…
