I hope you all had a great week! Mine was super busy at work. Strangely, I always feel at my best when I’m juggling multiple things and have a completely filled day with problems to solve! Lucky for me, I also love the people I work with so not only is the job rewarding but fun!
Although this week has been a bit busy, here’s a few things that I came across that made it extra special.
<3M and I celebrated our 2 year (Indian) wedding anniversary at Juniper on Saturday. Juniper has quickly become our favorite restaurant in Austin. Each time we’ve eaten there and each dish we’ve tasted has been spectacular. I look forward to each visit and can’t wait to go again for my birthday in April. One of these days, I’ll have to do a full review!
Forgive the photo quality of a nighttime iPhone picture
I work in tech, specifically around a lot of mobile devices/products but just this week a co-worker showed me the iMovie app for iPhone. I had no idea how easy the app was to use and it produces beautiful videos in mere minutes on your phone. I can’t wait to take a few videos of our dogs to post. This has definitely become a must have app for me! I highly recommend checking it out.
A new obsession as of late has been kombucha in the evenings in place of a glass of wine. I treat it as a special drink and even get a bit dorky by pouring it into a wine glass to make it a bit more classy (and also to trick myself into thinking I’m drinking wine). It definitely helps me relax after a long day at work – plus it’s a healthy swap since kombucha has a slew of health benefits specifically aiding the body with digestion.
My favorite brand of kombucha is Buddha’s Brew. It’s local to Austin and you can find it pretty much anywhere in the city. You can even buy it at Farmer’s Market or on tap at Whole Foods, which makes stocking up on large quantities easy and affordable.
Although I’ve tried different brands, I can’t help but come back to Buddha’s Brew because of its great flavor offerings and it’s bubbly everesence that tops all others I’ve tried. If you pick up a bottle, try one of my favorites — Pineapple Super Greens, Blueberry, Tangerine & Sea Salt or Peach Mint!
One last thing I’m loving this week is this Skimm the Vote article that summarizes all the presidential candidates. Since it’s obviously an election year, and I believe it’s important to know where each candidate stands, this article gives a great run down of who’s who and whether they are yay or nay all on the important subjects.
Also, if you haven’t heard of The Skimm before, I highly suggest you check it out. It’s a weekday newsletter delivered straight to your inbox that gives you a cliff-notes version of the day’s trending news topics — from politics and controversy to celebrity and sports. It’s a really great way to stay informed about what’s happening around the globe with a quick 5 minute read. Sign up here!
That’s about it for this week! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and if you’re in Austin, get out and enjoy the weather! I have a biking adventure planned with <3M on Saturday and on Sunday, we plan to relax and head out to a winery for a tasting and lunch!
What made your week extra special?
Is that anything you’re loving?
