I have always thought of Texas as this warm, sunny state that smells of brisket all the time. Rolling deserts and cactus in the background. I imagined I would just be watching the cattle roam. I couldn't have thought of a more disney-esq way to romanticize the state. But, I got a lot more than I bargained for when I moved to Houston. For one the food scene down here is more than just amazing brisket. You can find nearly anything your heart desires and then some. Pho at 3am? Mai’s in midtown has got your back. Girl dinner instead? No problem, Postinos bites and wine is perfect. All vegan in Texas? Well…the heights is your spot. Fancy some bomb seafood? Head down to the coast. There’s a little bit for everyone in this city.
Other than knowing it's the fourth largest city in the U.S. I had no idea what to expect. Shout out to my boss for nudging me to live in midtown. Post college, its a perfect spot to acclimate in. Montrose next door is one of my favorite spots in Houston that does not feature cactus and cattle, but has its own mosaic charm and southern cocktails to sip in the hundred degree heat. And as I moved from neighborhood to neighborhood, I got a full picture of the snapshots that Houston is made up of. Arts and culture to drag racing tracks and game days. The religion that is the Astros baseball team. Houston will always be a wonderful, coastal, and ever changing city. (Ever under construction too but that’s another topic!)
I've had way too many thoughts just collecting in a large void. This blog is to get them all out there. Make up, sports, food, cocktails, lifestyle, we got it all. For whoever is reading this. Hey.
If nothing else I'm hoping this brings a laugh or at least a smile to your day.
(P.s. I am not paying any attention to my grammar, as this is a word vomit blog to get it out of my brain, but I’ll do my best)
