October Surfside
Is surfing season back yet? Things might be looking up for this October Surfside. When most people think of going to the beach, and even surfing, they usually imagine a balmy paradise. But as people who surf know, the best waves come in with the cooler temperatures. The warm summer doldrums yield mostly flat water, especially in the Gulf, and even more so this year. This past weekend marked the first time in weeks that it was worth going out on, and Surfside had some nice long gentle waves all day waiting for me to paddle out through. Since it’s still pretty early for fall, the water wasn’t cold enough…

Paleo Witch Fingers Recipe for Halloween
Are you a good witch, or are you a bad witch? These paleo witch fingers combine two of my favorite things: Halloween spirit and healthy protein snacks. One of the most fun things about Halloween is coming up with funny ways to make your snacks spooky. I love eating protein treats made from nuts and dates rather than brownies, for obvious reasons. The sugar in brownies makes me tired, cranky, and anxious. Protein treats do the opposite! They give me energy and help build muscle. With a little quick molding, you can make these protein balls into spooky witch fingers for a fun snack. Paleo Witch Fingers Ingredients 2 Pitted…

Statement earrings are so fun. What better way is there to make a statement than with a unique beaded hoop that is both modern and organic.

DIY Infinity Knot Bracelet
I like to call this DIY infinity knot bracelet the Angels & Demons Bracelet, because one half of it is cream and beige, and the other half is black and red. Light and dark. Angels and demons. Or, if you’ve been binging on the My Favorite Murder podcast like I have, you could call this bracelet the Sweet Baby Angle and Murderino Bracelet. That’s the right spelling – no Corrections Corner needed right here. If you haven’t binged the podcast yet, now is the perfect time to start while you make your sweet baby angels and demons infinity knot bracelet.

Kusama: At the End of the Universe
Chris and I caught Kusama: At the End of the Universe last weekend at the MFAH by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. The exhibit is comprised of two main installation pieces, Love is Calling and Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity, as well as a series of paintings and a big Kusama sculpture that looks like a pumpkin. Love is Calling Here’s what the experience for Love is Calling is like. You wait in line next to a bunch of other museum goers, akin to the anticipation of boarding the latest amusement park ride. Near the front of the line, a gallery (flight?) attendant gives a brief overview of what to expect…
