My 2022 Goals with the Inno Supps Complete Gut Health Stack!

Jan 3, 2022 | Health & Fitness, San Antonio

I’ve never been one for Resolutions, and I think the larger conversations across social media these days tend to have the same view: they are unrealistic and often go unfulfilled. And why are we so hard on ourselves? Instead of focusing on what we need to...

How Urban Tree Co. helped me pick out Orlando’s Christmas gift…

Dec 10, 2021 | Family, Home Decor, Marriage, San Antonio

My gift for Orlando each Christmas is always a tricky thing to nail down. He’s impossible to buy for, and he either wants socks or a Maserati. There is no in between in terms of price points. This year we’re also staying home for the holidays for the first...

How do you show love to your community? #ad We've How do you show love to your community? #ad We've shared dozens of ways to make your world a better place over the years, but one of the simplest in my opinion is to register to be a bone marrow donor. It takes just a few minutes of your time, and then all you have to do is say "YES!" in the event that you're matched with someone who desperately needs this life-giving procedure. I've been registered in the @BeTheMatch directory for years, and have yet to get that call, but I know if my time should ever come, I'll be ready. I know it's what I would hope and pray for should myself or one of my family members ever need a bone marrow transplant, and it really does create ripples of caring and love that will be felt in our communities for generations to come. #timetomatch

Come preview the @mcnayart’s new exhibition with Come preview the @mcnayart’s new exhibition with us! 🎨

ON VIEW March 4, 2023 - July 2, 2023, Womanish is a heartfelt, provocative, and daring display, just in time for Women’s History Month and #IWD2023 Head to stories to see more behind the scenes, and find out which piece was the girls’ favorites. I’m thrilled to serve on the Community Committee for this exhibit, and can’t wait to bring many more friends and family to the McNay to pay homage to these talented female artists!

From the museum’s website: “Since its opening in 1954, the McNay has consistently collected and presented artwork by women. The Museum’s founder, Marion Koogler McNay, was an artist and a supporter of the arts–and we strive to honor her legacy.

Womanish: Audacious, Courageous, Willful Art features artwork by women acquired by the McNay from 2010 to the present. In 2010, the McNay presented the landmark exhibition Neither Model Nor Muse, which celebrated artwork by women from all of the Museum’s major collecting areas. Envisioned as a second chapter to this exhibition, Womanish features over 70 artists and demonstrates the McNay’s ongoing commitment to women.

The title of this exhibition is inspired by Alice Walker’s essay Womanist, in which she defines womanish as, “Usually referring to outrageous, audacious, courageous or willful behavior.” By highlighting the wide variety of ways women express themselves through art, this exhibition aims to celebrate the term “womanish,” which is all too often considered derogatory.

The artwork represented spans over 90 years and includes portraiture, abstraction, landscapes, and more. This exhibition includes regionally, nationally, and internationally known artists, who exemplify a range of lived experiences as well as many sources of inspiration.

Grateful to be a part of an organization that advocates for our needs and makes the path easier for those who come after us!

🌸It means only working on projects you’re passionate about. 
🌸It means being home when your kids get off the school bus, or being able to take your dog on a walk in the middle of the day because you make your own schedule. 
🌸It means a life where you feel happy and fulfilled at work, but equally free to pursue a meaningful life away from your laptop. 
 
That’s what drew me to the PR and Marketing world, but when I landed my first job in the industry I discovered that it wasn’t all glitz and glamour. So when I found out I was pregnant with my second daughter I decided I was done working this hard for someone else’s dream. I started my own agency, and I never looked back. Now I want to help more women make a leap of faith, and it’s my life’s passion to make their version of the haute life become a reality.
