Happy New Year!

New year, new goals, new content. Oh, how I love the very first day of a brand new day. Breath out any old residual crap from the old year, set our eyes on fresh intentions for the next 12 months, and click “reset.”

(Side note: I like to remind myself that there’s nothing special about January 1st. It’s just when we tell ourselves the story the we get a fresh start, but any day of the year can be the same thing if we decide to let it.)

Ok, so you’re here are my blog! I’m guessing you’re looking for some Austin content to get inspired about where to eat and what to do in this lovely city! Great news for you: I have SO MUCH good stuff lined up in the upcoming months!

Here’s what to expect in 2019:

• A new series on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month called “5 Restaurants You Need To Try in ATX.” I eat so many great restaurant meals every week, and lots of them get lost in my photo stream on my phone. I’m going to make sure that doesn’t happen this year by sharing a combo of old restaurants and new openings with you every-other Friday of the month.
• No more “reads” posts. For the past two years, I’ve been sharing every single book I’ve read with you at the end of the month. As much as I love doing that, it ended up being a little too regular, and I’m trying to focus more on quality of books, rather than quantity. I’ll be starting a new series called What’s On My Nightstand: Books, Podcasts, and Shows I’ve Been Enjoying, which will be published every 4-6 weeks. I’m an avid podcast listener, and I’d like to start watching more high quality shows on Netflix. I’m excited to share stuff in addition to books!
• Monday chats. On the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month, I’m going to do an informal “chat” post to talk about FAQ topics. The first one will be published next Monday, and I’m so excited to talk with y’all! I’m not sharing the title just yet, but I will tell you that it’s the question I get asked most frequently regarding my weight… #lesigh.
• Lots of fun round ups! Y’all apparently love those (because they get clicked on so dang much!) so I’ll be feeding your obsession and sharing a bunch of my favorites around town! I’m hoping this is especially helpful for those of you who don’t live in Austin but are planning visits in the near future.

Okeydoke….that’s all for today! Go nurse that hangover from last night’s champagne fest, and I’ll see ya here tomorrow for some food inspo to get your 2019 started on the right foot!
