It’s been a little quieter over here on the blog lately. Where have I been? Too, too busy, and it has been so worth it. For the past few weeks, we’ve been rehearsing for Gotterdammerung, the last of the Ring Cycles at the Houston Grand Opera. I’m one of the aerial supers! We also perform with fire, reeds, water/ice (bottles),… View Post
Last weekend I had the opportunity to work my first shift at Lake 288 with Big SUP yoga! One of the things I’m working on right now is how to take good SUP yoga photos for the students, so I thought I’d put together a list of SUP yoga photography tips. SUP Yoga Photography Tips Listen. Get an idea of… View Post
Carrie Brownstein, guitarist from the rock band Sleater-Kinney and comic co-star of Portlandia with Fred Armisen, wrote a memoir that quickly was listed as a New York Times Bestseller. This sums up my Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl Book Review: I love Carrie Brownstein. Reading the memoir went quickly – I finished it in about 2 days. It surprised… View Post
Guess what? Hescher and Night Drive played at the Nightingale Room in downtown Houston last week. Guess who played drums for Hescher? Chris! It was Chris. He’s super badass at the drums. That’s him spinning his sticks. Chris loves this battery. It will charge his phone forever and possibly jump his car? Table conversation. They say the sound system is… View Post
I don’t know about you, but I had a super stressful and crazy hectic week! A few friends mentioned the same thing. Weeks like this really emphasize the importance of yoga practice to me. I can deal. If I don’t keep up with my meditation practice, I can’t deal at all. Lotus pose is meant for a meditation. Ha. Usually… View Post
Wellness can cover so many different aspects of your life. When I set out to make this wellness podcast list, I first had to define what I meant by wellness. For me, it’s all about balance and positivity. Healthy living includes fitness, eating well, and caring for your head space, but it also includes finding a good work-life balance and… View Post
Last weekend the beach was so crowded with Spring Breakers! It was cool to see so many people having such a good time out there, even if the shoreline did get really full. We had to drive foreeeeever to find a space we fit in, but luckily Chris has his cute little white-top FJ to 4×4 us wherever we need… View Post
Does anyone else find themselves drawn to rust tones this Spring? I recently saw this shibori dress in rust instead of navy, and the warm colors drew me right in. It’s funny because I’ve been doing all this research over the past few years about hand dye and natural dye techniques, and for the past two years the traditional navy… View Post
Joe Walsh, apparently. I spent too much time this weekend working on this drawing of a song I heard. It was probably worth it. When I was about 3/4 of the way through, I indignantly said to Chris “where did all of my ink go” since the pen was almost empty. He looked at the paper and replied, “Cynthia, it’s… View Post
Now that 2017 is well underway, I wanted to loop back around on my organization situation to review where the cards – or rather notebooks – have fallen. What am I actually carrying around in my bag? Which notebooks do I write in every day? Do I have too many notebooks? Sure, some may say that. But I love them… View Post
