I’ve had my eye on Black Swan Yoga since the moment I figured out which area of Austin I wanted to live in.  The studio is steps from my apartment, they offer more classes at more times than you could ever imagine, and you can tell just by reading their website that the vibe is spot on.  When Andrea suggested meeting up for another workout after last night’s boot camp class, I had my fingers crossed she’d want to check out Black Swan.  Finger crossing was unnecessary as she was already a fan.

The power class was great!  It ended up being the perfect amount of strength and stretch for our already aching tush and thighs.  I haven’t been this happy with a studio since YogaSport in Dallas.  Yay Austin!!

Sealing The Deal

by

I officially signed a lease for a place in Austin today!!  After a week (that seemed like a month) of potential roommate talk, living alone seemed like the right-est thing to do.  I took a courtesy tour of the apartment complex, knowing I had no other option in my location of choice, and signed my little heart away.

Immediately after signing, the apartment manager handed me a little red keychain and a list of places that offer specials to residents.  For real??  We didn’t waste any time before walking over to TNT (Tacos & Tequila) for wild mushroom queso, jalapeno cocktails, smoky guacamole (made table-side), and lots of tacos.

See you soon 78703!!!

 

Thirsty Planet

by

As soon as Skylar let me know that she and her roommate signed a bunch of us up for the Thirsty Planet beer tour, I couldn’t wait.  I love tours.  I can’t wait to play the “new girl” card when I move to Austin and tour everything and anything.

Most of us chose the seven dollar deal where you get three pints and a souvenir glass.

Skylar will have to hold on to this gem until the move next month!!

We toured the brewery, asked a bunch of ridiculous questions, and enjoyed our beers in the sunshine.

I can’t get over how many people I’ve met over the past few days.  Everyone here is so down to welcome a new friend to their circle!

What do you think are the most helpful things to do to meet new people in a new city?
