SUMMER OF YOGA /// Pop Up Shop

One bus, a few lucky ass Lululemon employees traveling all over the U.S. from Canada to host the best pop up shop you have ever been to. From Music Festivals to Big Cities this crew made a huge impact everywhere they stopped. One huge perk was hey had a limited supply of goods exclusively for the pop up shop called the Wanderlust line. So the kimono, top, workout bag and the two pants I got are not sold in stores. But when people ask where I got them I have an opportunity to share my experience. 

I asked Kelly and Jess from Lululemon to give a breakdown of what SUMER OF YOGA was all about. My only involvement was to capture great moments and document the whole experience. Like I said before, I love this company, the people who associate themselves with this company, and the community they are building everywhere they go. Such good times and good vibes. So yes, anytime they ask me to be involved I will say YES.

AS OF LATELY /// August

TV /// During the summer months TV usually sucks but this year Netflix really nailed it with Stranger Things. I grew up with movies like ET, The Goonies, and The Quest (another rad 80's movie with Henry Thomas) so I was super stoked when I found out that this takes place in 1983. If you are looking for something that reminds you of your childhood or if you just want to watch a great series go to Netflix and start watching. It's only 8 episodes so you can totally binge watch in a day or you can savor it and watch one episode a week. Oh and don't worry... it's been confirmed that there will be a season 2!!! 

TUNES /// In our house we are constantly streaming music through Apple Music so if you want a really awesome playlist while you have friends over for drinks or if you are just hanging out and want to chill you should play Arcade Fire : Influences /// It has 15 bad ass songs. Get on this playlist now. You can thank me later.

HOME /// We've been having a lot of fun arranging and shopping for furniture in our new home. We are not in any rush we are just enjoying the process. So far the only big items we have purchased are This Bed, These Barstools, This Media Console, and This Entry Way Table. We actually had to cut the bed in half to get it up to our bedroom, if you follow me on snap you already know this. Just a bunch of problem solvers over here. Thanks Joe! Anyway, some places that we have been frequenting for home decor are Amazon,  Nordstrom, West Elm, Homegoods, World Market, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters. And I pretty much want everything in THIS shop.  Our home already has been rearranged since THIS POST.

TRAVEL /// In two weeks we have a family vacation to Northern California but then Jacob and I will head to Palm Springs to meet up with some friends. Thankful for sites like Trip Advisor, and Cheap Flights.com that make booking trips so much easier. 

WORK /// I'm really excited for next weeks HAIR TO class at Do or Dye Tx. We will be teaching clients how to get waves for days starting from step 1 at the shampoo bowl. See the last class HERE. If you aren't already following @Hairtoclass @doordyetx you should for weekly hair tips and inspiration and Hair tutorials like the Braid Cross Tuck and THIS ONE.

BLOG /// I added a WISH LIST page. I will be adding to this page daily. If I find a good deal or if I see something I absolutely love I want to share it with you. What you will find on the WISH LIST page : Clothing, Home Accessories, Furniture, Beauty Products, Hair Tools/ Products... so keep checking back. 

CORTE DEL NORTE ///

If you read my previous post you are slightly familiar with  The Corte Del Norte. If you are just now catching up, I recently went out to Marfa, Texas with a group of Houston movers and shakers for a Lululemon Residency and  The Corte Del Norte was our beautiful home during our stay. 

 The Corte Del Norte is a compound made up of two houses, The Rock City House and The Love House . Between the two houses, there is plenty of space for a family vacation, group hangs, events (I would love to see a unique wedding out there!) and BONUS, it’s within walking distance to everything in town. During our residency, there were 8-9 of us and the compound comfortably accommodated us.

You can find  The Corte Del Norte compound available to rent on Airbnb. I stayed in The Love House and didn't want to leave because the design, the comfort, and its beautifully decorated. Jamey and Constance Garza of Garza Marfa designed the compound and I wish they would come to Houston and design my home. I kept taking photos every time I turned a corner. The colors, the fixtures, the furniture, the prints, and the photos on the wall are all so intentional and inspiring. 

Another perk of the house is the offer services. When we arrived Josh and Brooke greeted us with fresh Margaritas. Yes please and thank you! The drive from Houston to Marfa is long so having the fridge already stocked and stuff to make margaritas and cocktails right when you get there is AMAZING.
